IELTS test in Australia – June 2011 (General Training)
Our kind friend A has shared the writing and speaking sections of his IELTS exam in Australia. Here is what he remembered:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a letter)
Write a letter to the manager of your local bus service. They have recently made some changes to the bus services, which create an inconvenience for you. In your letter explain
– What are the changes?
– What are the problems you are facing?
– What would you like to change in this service?
Writing Task 2 (an essay)
In the past people wore their traditional clothes and followed their culture. These days most people wear similar clothes and therefore look very similar to one another. Do you think this is a positive or a negative development?
