@filipinacpa <blockquote rel="filipinacpa">Hello again! Just thought to share this video made by one of the forum members here in Pinoyau:

She made this for those who are losing hope in getting their visa. I find this very inspiring. Just thought that it might help others to gain more confidence.

God bless you all guys! 🙂</blockquote>

Whoever put this film together thanks a lot! Very inspiring! This video gives me extra energy to review and gets me going.

Hello,

Does my essay plan below cover all the questions? Is it the right way to respond to this type of task which is Argumentative?

"Many city centres these days have traffic flow problems causing congestion and pollution. one solution is to build fast ring roads on the outskirts of a city, taking traffic away from the centre. While this is helpful in some ways, it also causes new problems.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?"

intro

agree with sentence 2 and 3

para2

agree with the 2nd sentence (that building ring roads is helpful) -provide advantages

first advantage
second advantage

para3

agree with the 3rd sentence (that it also causes new problems) -provide disadvantages

first disadvantage
second disadvantage

conc

Do you have any suggestions?

Or should the plan look like this?

intro - agree with the 3rd sentence only

para2- first disadvantage

para3- second disadvantage

conc

@chu_se I see. Same tayo, general training test din kukunin ko. Oh well, Goodluck! Hope you get the band scores you need.

Btw, I came across a site that explains how speaking and writing are graded. I think it is a good read.

nag speaking test ako kanina sa idp, ito yun questions sa akin.

Part 1:

where you live, what you don't like about your place, will you continue living there.
About cooking, who does the cooking, do you like cooking
About dictionary, do you use the dictionary, are you using a paper dictionary or an electronic, how would you feel if someone gave you a dictionary as a gift.

Part 2:

Tell something about a comic character that is famous in your country
Who
What
Why do you think he's famous

Part 3:

forgot all but the flow is about media, actors and their influences on children.
meron din do you think men and women varies on the type of entertainment that they choose.

mga ganung level hehehe. Feb 1 will be my written exam.

Just got my IELTS results from IDP and I'm satisfied with the result OBS 8.0. 🙂 My tip for the listening, aside from reading all the questions first, you can write down all the words that you heard which you think may be the possible answer. This will help you focus on listening to the recording and it will also help you guess the answer if ever you missed or skipped a question. This helped me during the latter part of the test because I really have a short attention span. My mind kept on wandering during the exam haha! Goodluck to everyone who will be taking the IELTS! 🙂

@maldita well done! And great tip sa listening. Ako naman ang advice ko is know your north east west south! Nalito ako dun slight.
