    just to share the June 7's academic writing test here at British Council Dubai. I am surprised to see a comparative income statement in Task 1, I guess ielts favored accountants this time :) It is presented in a table format comparing the income and expenditures of a certain company in Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3. In Task 2, the question task is this - "In the future, it is expected that there will be higher proportion of older people that younger people in many countries. In your opinion, is this a positive or negative development."....well good luck to us while waiting until May 20!

    17-08-2013 IELTS Acad Take 1 @ BC Dubai L-7.5 R-7 W-6.5 S-7
    14-09-2013 Applied for writing remark
    26-10-2013 ELTS Acad Take 2 @ BC Dubai L-6.0 R-6.0 W-7 S-6.5
    09-11-2013 Received writing remark but score unchanged
    14-12-2013 IELTS Acad Take 3 @ UOWD Dubai - L-7 R-7 W-6.5 S-6.5
    20-01-2014 Preparing again for Take 4...Lord bless our struggle to achieve our target band score...

    @filipinac, korek sis, dapat gawin ntin lahat pwede nating gawin. Sis, if it will not favor your wish don't lose hope. Minsan na rin kaming bumitiw sa Australian dream nmin pero eto balik ulit. Because we lose hope back then nka take 2 lang si hubby back out na. Sana this time positive ending nman.

    @heyits7me_mags Yes go go lang hwag mag give up! makukuha din ang desired score!

    Sa listening I think more practice nga..tsaka expect rin na minsan may mga answer silang na rerephrase para bawas sa shock factor... tas tandaan din yung mga major words or phrases... yung audio namin ng last sobrang pangit pero I think nakatulong yung tinandaan ko mga major topics na sinasabi nya kaya kahit patsamba na yung sagot cguro malapit lapit cguro sa tama...

    Also sa IDP masterclass na inattenan ko, mi tip sinabi samin na sa listening minsan yung sagot eh nung tumaas tono ng nagsasalita, minsan naman yung tono nya eh pababa pero may trail... something like dut... minsan sa dulo din daw or last sentence yung sagot.. so take consideration din nung intonation ng speaker.
