@LokiJr Thanks!

luckily I was able to borrow some 9niners reviewer from a friend. tapos practice mga 2weeks before the exam date..mostly reading part un. tpos sa listening, ng try ako nung online materials galing sa ielts-blog. sa writing naman, wala na ko kc ko time to do the actual writing practice so binasa ko nalang ung mga sample answers na mkita ko sa net, same goes with speaking....hehehe

tsaka syempre, ngbasa din ako ng tips sa forum, sobrang helpful talaga.

di ko na maalala kung san ko to nabasa pero ang pinakatumatak sa kin na tip is SPEAK AS IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW. pinaka kinakabahan kc ako sa speaking. kaya un, nung actual exam ko na, nagsalita lang ako ng nagsalita, kung anu unang lumabas sa isip ko. mga nakailang ulit din iniistop nung nagpapatest 😃

You cannot go wrong with Cambridge. Based on my experience, its slightly difficult than actual exam. Just practice and practice =)

<blockquote rel="cchamyl">hay.. very sad today... occupation ceiling for my job code has been reached... hayyyy.. very sad... 🙁</blockquote> dont worry po, marerefresh naman sya come July... everything happens for a reason 😉

@Khaosan_Road @Isyut

hay... sna nga ganun.. sna kasama pa din xa sa SOL sa july... may nakita na ba kayo mga advisory from DIAC regarding sa mga changes pag sapit ng new fiscal yar nla? i was disheartened talaga kahapon.. hinihintay pa naman sana ng liveinvictoria yung ielts result ko... hay nako.. sobrang nakakababa ng loob... 🙁

cchamyl

@gacoquia

ang technicque sa reading is to not read the material... una ka sa question... since yung answers sa question gnawa nmn nla na ascending order.. meaning answer to the first question can be found in the first paragraph... practice skim reading... wag mo basahin lahat.. key words lang tlaga imprtant... ganun gnawa ko.. d ako maxado nagpractice sa reading part kac xa ang pinakamadali.. the answers are right there eh... unlike im listening and writing...

sa listening... be calm during the exam... maririnig mo din ang answer... may advice d2 sa forum na watch and listen to a lot of english shows... kaya araw araw ako naka cnn and bbc... hehehe... ganun kac yung tone ng exam...

sa writing,. i cannot say it enough... learn how to manage your thoughts and time... d2 ako sumabit last time... hope u wont go though it... tapos read ka ng answers to the previews exams... makakakuha ka ng techniques on how to support your ideas.. as much as possible provide details to your ideas... yun ang magpapahaba ng paragraphs mo which will make you reach the desired length of the essay.

cambridge is the answer... yun lang tlaga gnamit ko pag review.. i hope this helps.. 🙂

<blockquote rel="jentacz">Ok naman po nakuha kong score ksa IELTS sa awa ng Diyos, kaso I am eyeing sana for 20points kse ung ACS ko baka 3 yrs lng maapprove sakin since my ex-company (where i worked for 3 yrs) did not give me a detailed COE.

I am now praying hard na sana lumabas na today yung ACS results that I lodged last December 18th para umabot sa Feb 18 round of invites..</blockquote>

congratulation on passing IELTS... in terms of EOI invites..i hope umabot ka ng Feb 18.. if not.. you need to wait pa for July.. Ubos na kasi yung limit na 1800 invitation for Business and System Analyst..

Ask ko lang po sana was writing task;

 To what extent do you agree or disagree - Kailangan ko po discuss agree and disagree

 Discuss both views, then give your opinion - Kailangan ko po discuss Others View and My own view tapos opinion

Tama po ba ito?

Eto yung actual sample nyan

Sample Essay – Part 2

“Living with animals, such as owning a pet dog, cat or bird, is good for people. Do you agree or disagree? Use personal examples to illustrate your response.”

Introduction

Human beings have shared the world with animals since the dawn of time
Throughout history, animals have provided humanity not only with sustenance and work, but also companionship.
It is agreed that living with animals is beneficial for people.
This argument will be proven by looking at how sharing a home with an animal can both encourage feelings of empathy and teach responsibly

First Supporting Paragraph

For one, common dwelling between animal and human can help people understand the feelings and needs of others.
For example, when I was young I was required to take care of our family’s two dogs.
Caring for these dogs demanded I be conscious of their needs and I believe this was a very key lesson in my development as an empathetic person.
As my examples shows, living with animals has a positive effect on people.

Second Supporting Paragraph

In addition to this, people who share homes with animals are taught how to become responsible individuals.
Returning to the prior example from my youth, as a boy I had to follow a rigorous schedule to ensure my dogs were fed on time, given attention and taken outside a few times a day.
This daily practice in being responsible for another living thing had a very strong impact on my sense of duty.
As a result such as this is common among all who own pets, the benefits animals bring to people are clear.

Conclusion

13.-14. Following this look at how living with animals increases a person’s sense of empathy and understanding of responsibility, it has been proven that sharing a home with other living things has more pros than cons.

Thus, owning a pet is highly recommended.
