Thanks to our kind friend CB who took IELTS in Ireland, today we are sharing the questions she remembered from her exam:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a report)
We were given a chart showing the consumption of soft drinks and bottled water per person in 5 countries in 2002.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
Some people feel that high school students should only learn literature from their own country, while others feel that they should be exposed to literature from around the world. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
