    hello guys, kakatapos lang ng ielts ko hung saturday here in dubai. morning is the listening, reading and writing and in the evening is the speaking test. hopefully i will get the passing obs.

    in listening, wala laming headset so the recording was played in the entire ballroom, nasa hotel kasi kami. medyo mahirap magfocus sa listening kasi there are other sounds in the room kaya just focus on the recording. it may seem that this is the easiest part but if you lose the focus necessary, mawawala ka especially pay conversation/ discussion minsan kasi, the choices are not exactly the same as the conversation.... kaya it is important to look for key words and its synonyms para makuha mo yung answers sa choices. try to practice listening sa mga audio samples ng ielts 1 to 8.

    in reading, katulad ng advises nila, practice scanning and skimming. look for the questions first para may idea ka kung ano yung hahanapin mo. maraming tips sa you tube... maikli yung oras kaya maximize it. also, tricky and questions requiring true, false and not given answers. ditto ako nalilito kaya try answering questions of the same nature.

    sa writing, tama sila, give more time to part 2 since it bears higher score that part 1. and ikli ng time so limit yourself to 20 mins sa 1st part and 40 mins sa 2nd part. muntik na ko kapusin kasi nagtagal ako sa 1st part

    question sa 1st part is writing letter to the city council about the recent condition of your street which is becoming rather dirty. 2nd part is an essay about the ordinary people copying famous people. try to watch english ryan, marami syang pointers on how to write an essay in chronology... important is to state your position and be able to justify it and to make a good intro and remarkable conclusion. again, practice is the key.

    speaking, try to relax while talking so ideas will come naturally. try to have conversation in english as practice. questions na narerecall ko:
    1st part
    -where do you live, in an apartment or your own house?
    -dream house
    -time spent in the country side

    2nd part
    -recent change in your life and how it affect your life.... reasons for the change and is it good or bad

    3rd part
    -reaction of your friends, follow up sa 2nd part
    -opinion on people changing jobs and careers.... do you agree or not?
    -do you like change or not, site advantages and disadvantages.

    Katatapos ng IELTS ko last Saturday 3/23 dito sa Bangkok, mga more than 500 siguro kaming nag-exam

    Morning yung Listening/Reading/Writing... Afternoon yung Speaking.

    Listening yung naging challenging para sakin... tuloy-tuloy yung conversation na pinakinggan namin tapos ang daming paligoy-ligoy kaya may mamiss-out ka lang sa conversation... series of questions na yung hindi mo masasagutan... Although nasubukan ko na ang ganoong mga tests sa Practice Exams... parang mas mahirap yung na-encounter ko during the actual test.


    Yung Reading medyo ok naman, medyo mas madali-dali sya as compared dun sa mga Practice Tests na nasubukan ko dati.

    Sa Writing naman:

    Task1: "Write a letter to a friend about a job overseas you're interested in... why are you interested... ask for advice..."

    Task2: "Children of today are less healthy, why is this the case, how can it be resolved... share from your personal experience..."


    Speaking... ako yung unang-una sa Speaking test, may Advantage at Disadvantage talaga kapag "Ab--" start ng apelido... alphabetical kasi yung pagkakasunod-sunod namin... kaya 30 minutes lang ata naging pahinga ko from Writing test, salang na kagad ako sa Speaking... ni hindi ako nakapag-lunch...

    medyo ok din... Briton yung examiner sakin... ito mga tanong nya:

    1. What's your job... what's challenging about it... would you recommend your job to a friend, why?

    2. Are more people using mobile phone these days than in the past, why, advantages/disadvantages?

    3. Some people live in cities, but some chooses to live in towns... why is this the case? Adv/Disadv of town-living

    4. Describe the buildings in your country... did the types of buildings changed over the years?


    Sa April 5 yung resulta namin, pwede sya ma-check online sa BC website....

    @ jenipet20, ok naman yung interviewer, mejo advantage na din na nandito tayo dubai dahil madalas tayo nakakakausap ng native speaker. relax ka lang para di ka mamental block. just think na nakikipagkwentuhan ka lang sa kanya. un na lang inisip ko para di ako kabahan.

    Hi Howard ^^ sasagot ako ha.. hehe you can't claim points. sayang kasi meron ka 6.5... You should at least get 7 in each category para maka 10points ka.
