    Di naman ako mukhang chubby pero puro pagkain ang topic ko nung niinterview ako for IELTS hahaha ---- How can promote to this generation the love for local / authentic food? Is the growing of fastfood a concern and should the government be worried?

    Mine was in July 18

    Sa unang portion, I was asked where I live, how's the weather, how do I go to work. Then topic shifted to interest, because I was asked if I will appreciate receiving a dictionary. Then places of interest ng mga kabataan daw, so I mentioned Time Zone (haha!), cinema, theatre, etc.

    Then my last part was to pick a movie I least liked. Where I watched it. With whom, why I did not like it.

    Naipost ko na po sa isang comment ko that it was good that I read this question in google during my review days, at least I was able to prepare a movie in mind. I just googled "IELTS speaking question 2014" then isa iyon sa mga lumabas na samples.

    sa kaba ko, I know I was speaking fast. At di ko naubos ang 2 mins. Nakailang hand gestures ang aking interviewer na magsalita pa ko pero halos pilit na iyong mga sagot ko sa dulo. Nevertheless, I got a 7.5. basta pasado :)

    Haha medyo di ko nga expected yung tanong na yun... Parang normally kapag "favorites" ang pag-uusapan, dapat food, or place, or song... mga ganung typical topics..

    Building? Hahahaha...

    Kaya sinagot ko na lang... "I don't have a favorite building... but I can describe you the building landscape in my country, the Philippines, which was heavily influenced by our Spanish and American colonial past and our own Asian and Filipino heritage blah blah blah... World Peace.. Obrigado Brazil!"

    Later ko na lang na-realize na may favorite building pala ko which is the Opera House haha

    Basta ang sinunod ko lang na Tip is... "Speak like there's no tomorrow"

    Tandaan din na hindi kailangang 100% totoo and accurate ang sinasabi mo.

    Ang tinitingnan ng examiner are the ff:

    1. Fluency
    2. Grammar
    3. Vocabulary
    4. Ability to speculate, give opinion, engage in fluid conversation

    Hope this helps

    @J_Oz ok naman! may mats sila na shinare saken dito super helpful. basta magsagot ka lang ng magsagot ng ielts sample tests. some of the questions used by the examiner were actually in the cambridge 9 mats.

    tapos sa writing ko, ganon din. nasa reviewer ung letter na pinagawa. :-) so helpful talaga.

    @J_Oz result acs.. ito sya: comparable to an AQF Master Degree with a major in
    computing. tapos... The following employment after June 2011 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled BLABLA. so 2 years binawas.

    3 years, 3 months! sabit ako! 5 points lang yun no? :)

    Just finished my speaking today. Topic 2 was about creating a law in the Philippines. Topic 3 was about if most Filipinos do crime.

    I have a feeling I offended the interviewer with my negative answer (but it's the truth just was the local news), hopefully not. Got shut down cause I kept on talking, never had a chance to say good bye and thank you :P

    I will not forget the look on her face. So how early can I apply again for an IELTS exam? :D

    Anyway, I am trying to move on and leave the negativity and look forward to just positive answers tomorrow's remaining IELTS exam :)
