Our kind friend K. took IELTS in Tokyo, Japan and remembered the following questions:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a report)
We had a bar chart and a table describing some activities women and men did in the UK in 2008. The bar chart showed several unpaid household chores women and men spent their time doing daily, after their paid work. The table showed how they spent their time doing leisure activities daily, after their paid work.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
Nowadays many children have trouble paying attention in class or concentrating on their school work. Why is this happening? How can this problem be solved?
