<blockquote rel="chefin">Hello Good People,

As Promised, here is how my Test goes in Vienna today :

Listening- Inquiries on day care center, Whale watching dialogue and monologue about the famous photographer and its collections.

I think I did well with this test but the multiple choices are quite tricky!

Reading- Purchasing New and used cash registers, Company security systems, Bus Services informations and Long passages on Glaciers formation.

The most tricky part is the True/False/Not Given part but I think I managed it quite well.

Writing- Write a letter to your friend about an object you borrowed which you accidentally destroyed and Task 2 - Some people change careers at some point of their lives? Do you agree or disagree?

This is quite easy in my part especially on Task 2 because I myself is a career changer. I think that I nailed this test down because I still have enough time left to check my grammar and spelling.

Speaking- Personal questions about jobs, Asking me about how I like dancing, do people dance in the Philippines. Cue card- Talk about old people you love to talk to and why?.

Third round- What are the importance, contribution, things to do with, importance and working old people.

I did manage to answer all the questions but I think I dont like some of my answers on Dancing because Im not into it. On the cue card, I think I speak so fast that I had already spoke like 7 sentences but the interviewer still signaled me to talk more. I had some confusions with the old people questions. though I answered it spontaneously, I'm not sure if I answered the question well.

Overall I'm very satisfied with my general test performance but Im not sure about the speaking. What do you think @Lokijr and @itchan?</blockquote>

Hi Chefin, I did IELTS very recently. I am from UAE and we have exactly the same type of tests except for Speaking. I had a doubt also with that "Apron" which eventually I decided to write on as my answer. Was the answer to #1 "37.50" ; the listening part started just too quick that I missed it. By the way, If you don't mind me asking about, why do you consider going to AU when you are currently there in Austria which is part of Europe? Where do you intend to live & work in OZ? Thanks and God bless.

stolich18

thank you, @hotshot and @k_mavs

@chiffonscarf I also have the same question for @chefin, nasa Austria na sya, why go to Australia. :-)

chefin

@chiffonscarf and @stolich18 - I work in Helsinki , Finland not in Austria. Doon lang ako nagtake ng test kasi gusto rin gumala doon.

To answer your question kung bakit gusto ko magmove to Australia while I'm already here in europe? For 2 reasons; Weather and Language. Why? Finland is so cold in the winter - nakakabaliw. Second, yong language - it's not easy to live in a place na hindi kayo pareho ng salita. Although english naman ginagamit namin sa workplace, yong mga documentations are in Finnish. Kahit sa Austria man o sa France masarap tumira dito pero iba pa rin kung english ang ginagamit na language. That is why lilipat ako ng australia. I want to move to Melbourne or anywhere in Australia as long as meron trabaho.

One more reason why I want to leave Finland is that - i don't want to get stagnant here. You cannot get promoted in a higher position kung di ka magaral ng language nila. At hindi ko pinangarap pagaralan ang language nila na napakahirap at walang gamit kundi dito lang. I would rather study french or german.

Based on my job performance here, I could be in a supervisory level now but my manager keeps telling me to go to Our company's Institute to study Finnish language before I get promoted. I said "thank you, but I wont waste my time studying your language". My point is, I already studied the basics bakit ayaw pa nila ako i promote.

@chiffonscarf - Good for you nakuha mo yong 'apron' na answer. Yes 37.50 yong answer ng number 1.

chiffonscarf

@chefin: That's really cool to sit for IELTS in Austria 🙂 I understand, ganyan talaga minsan we really need to comply with their rules as when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Best of luck and successes in all your undertakings.

@stolich18 : Ayan sinagot na tayo ni chefin 🙂

stolich18

^ hehe oo nga eh. thanks chefin! :-)

Birhen_ng_Guadalupe

Hello Guys, sino na po nagparemark dito? paano po ba yung process ng remarking?Thanks in advance. 🙂

LokiJr

"Candidates who are dissatisfied with their test result may apply for remarking of all or part of the test. The fee for remarking is PHP7,000 no matter how many or which parts of the test are remarked. Payment of the remarking fee is by Bank Draft or Manager's Check payable to

                                 “IDP Education Pty Ltd or British Council"

As the remarking process occurs in Australia, the outcome of the remarking may not be known for up to six weeks after the test material reaches Australia.

Forms for requesting a remark are available at the IDP Philippines/British Council front desk and on the left side of this page.

If you reside outside Metro Manila and you wish to enquire on your IELTS results, you may download and complete the enquiry form found on the right side of this page and send to our office together with the original Test Result Form and remarking fee.

Should your test score improve as a result of the remarking process, you will be entitled to a full refund of the remarking fee."

thanks LokiJr for the info, magkaiba ng presyo ang BC and IDP and pati yung timeframe. hays gusto ko i try ang magparemark sa writing since medyo matatagalan kung kukuha ulit ako 🙁 dahil sa CTS on my right hand. Btw, my IELTS Results (L:7.5 R:7.5 W: 6.5 S: 7.5 OB: 7.5).

k_mavs

@issa Hi! Ako po nagparemark po ng exams sa writing subtest din po ngunit sa kasawiang palad ay di sinuwerte na mag improve yung score ko. 6.5 din po yung score ko sa writing ko. siguro applicable lang po yung remrking if matataas talaga yung mga grades mo sa ibang subtests.Yung sakin kasi yung score ko dati is L-8 R-7.5 W-6.5 S-7. Pero try mo rin po paremark if you think confident ka naman sa writing mo. Mas mura po sa BC pa remark kaysa sa IDP. Good luck po sa remarking. 🙂

issa

@k_mavs, gusto syang i try kasi problema ko talaga ang writing kasi nahihirapan na akong magsulat due to carpal tunnel syndrome. nagtanong rin ako sa BC kung ano yung option na pwede gawin in cases na di makapagsulat, sabi nila wala pa ata silang na encounter na ganun. s BC ka ba nagpa remark?

LokiJr

@issa sanayin niyo na lang po magsulat ng maiikli pero concise na paragraphs para hindi maging sagabal ang cts niyo...pero dahil 0.5 lang naman kulang niyo, mag pa remark na lang kayo... 🙂

chefin

@Birhen_ng_Guadalupe - I am a Chef here though I worked as an engineer 5 years ago. What sort of job are you interested in Norway?. I can tell you, kung mahal ang cost of living dito sa Finland, mas mahal sa Norway.

lock_code2004

astig chef na engineer...
