Our student JP kindly shared the writing questions from his very recent IELTS exam in Canada, below:
IELTS Writing Test – General Training
Writing task 1 (a letter)
You have been selected to work on an important project at your company. Write a letter to your manager to thank him/her. In your letter:
– explain why you think you were chosen for this project
– suggest a colleague who would be a suitable team member
– ask a question about the project
Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
In many education systems, subjects such as maths and science are seen as more important than arts subjects such as drama and literature.
What are the reasons for this? Is this a positive or a negative development?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
