Thanks to our generous subscriber SA from Australia, today we are sharing the writing questions from her recent IELTS exam.
Preparation Tip: make sure to write your own essay and report under timed conditions, spending no more than an hour in total on both Writing Task 1 and Task 2. Simulating real exam conditions will surface your weaknesses in writing, and you will be able to work on them well before the test. Happy studying!
