Our kind friend ZB took IELTS in Albania and remembered the following Speaking test questions.
She said, “Thanks for all you do to help us ace our IELTS. I had bought one of your books, High Scorer’s Choice series, General Set 5, from Amazon on my visit to London this summer, and I must say that it helped me a great deal. It was one of the foundations that I built my success on. I hope this helps somebody as it did for me.”
