Thanks to the IELTS test taker L from Brazil we can share the Writing and Speaking questions from a recent exam:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a report)
We were given a table showing the percentage of internet access by adults for the period between 2006 and 2010. We had to describe the main features and to make comparison.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
