Update from a General IELTS exam, held in Spain

Hey, you're new here! I love new people, welcome.

You may want to subscribe to IELTS-Blog and get all the updates via email or via RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Do you remember this beautiful tradition we used to have, when you shared your IELTS experiences with me and I made sure they are available for many other students just like you?

I’d like to invite you all once again – let’s keep doing that, because people write and tell me it’s really helping them. Take some time to put together a quick email , let me know what country you’re from – I’ll take care of all the rest.

And now to the latest news – we have an update from Spain (thanks, Gino).

Reading test

Reading included 10 advertisements and the questions were about which ad says they want the user to provide transport, which ad says a user can get a better bargain, so you have to read carefully, because some of the adds had the same ad as answer (or at least I thought that way, don’t know whether I was right till the result comes).

Writing test

Writing Task 1 (a letter)

Write a letter to a neighbor about the garbage problem that you have. In your letter

Introduce yourself

Explain the problem

Provide appropriate solution

Writing Task 2 (an essay)

Small shops in towns and villages are closing and are being replaced by big stores. Do you think it is a good or a bad trend? Explain your opinion.

Speaking

They asked about my school, what I did on last weekend, and then went to ask about jobs in shifts, advantages & disadvantages.

Well I messed up a little bit as I got a bit nervous. I suggest to everyone to stay in a relaxed mood.
