    Ang hirap naman niyang story about a book or movie that I've watched that talks about the future. dati ang tanong lang nila is yung movie or book that you watched/read recently.

    kung sa akin tinanong yan baka namental block ako. Star Wars na lang siguro, pero wala naman akong masyadong maikukuwento kasi di ako fan nung movie na yun. lol. nganga ang aabutin ko.

    nung speaking exam ko last year, ang tanong: "Tell me about a recent problem that you had recently and how did you manage to overcome it?"

    Anyway, sa mga taga Pampanga/Tarlac dyan, recommended ko na IELTS review Center ang World English Reviews. dun ako nagreview last year for 25 days, and I garnered pretty good exam scores. meron silang instructor na Australian na medyo matanda na pero matalas pa rin. at magagaling ang mga ibang instructor nila from reputable schools. hindi boring, at very approachable. Last December may 50% off sila sa review Xmas promo (3000 na lang), di ko lang alam kung extended hanggang ngayon. BTW, I'm not related to World English Reviews.

    @Sungsung

    hay nako... cnabi mo pa... d ko naisip ang star wars... nakalimutan ko yun... unang pumasok sa isip ko yung the abyss... d ko alam kung baket... grrrrrrrrrrrr... mangiyak ngiyak ako pagkatapos ng exam... super bilis pa... parang nagmamadali yung instructor... it was nothing like the sample videos i've watched... sabi pa naman sa reviews... it's usually the filipino interviewers who are stingy on giving good scores... naiinis ako... i hope God hears my prayers and that He will give me the score that I need....

    This is a very tricky situation.. i was just discussing this with my sister who took the IELTS review in NINERs... yung lecturer nila took ielts twice.. and both got 9 for all and 8.5 sa speaking..

    ang trick daw if you dont know anything about the topic..
    1) is just to answer that you don't know anything about the topic
    2) answer why you dont know
    3) make a guess (state that you are making a guess) in related to the topic..

    it's not the answer.. it's how you answer it..

    So if i may answer the same SPEAKING topic, i would say:

    1) honestly i really don't know anything about movies with futuristic themes..

    2) I'm not a fan of these types of movies. Movies with subjects about the future does not excite me at all, i grew up in the province where drama is a big hit.. i am more familiar with topics about love, romance and struggles about everyday life.... etc.

    3) I guess im very weird for not liking these movies, However.. if i must say, I guess for those who are thrilled to watch movies of this kind, they must be interested to know what will happen in the future, the technologies and how it will affect our life now....etc..

    tapos closing remarks.. bow!!
    yan eh kung ako lang naman..

    huhuh... thanks @lock_code2004

    i actually said that i am not into those kind of movies after I described the story. I told her that I don't remember all the details because I find it boring since I am not a fan. I really hope I get at least a 7... by the way, would you know if there if DIAC requires a certain score per occupation? I only remember them requiring at least a 6 in all bands... while Victoria requires 7 for my occupation. I am trying to list all my options..

    @cchamyl - yun naman pala.. nasagot nyo namn pala.. ayos na yan..
    - 6 po ang min requirement ng DIAC
    - of course, score 7 each band if you want to get 10 pts
    - next is to check requirement per occupation/state if you need SS

    hahaha... from some of the comments i've read in some forums... mejo mapuna daw ang mga assessor from here unlike the foreign ones... foreign assessors tend to be more appreciative of interviewees who can speak another language apart from their mother tongue... they are easily impressed... while assessors from here expect too much... that's what i read.. sana nde totoo... but they usually are stingy on giving good scores..

    I would agree with you on that observation. My assessor was Filipino and he was grilling me during the speaking exam. Yung kaibigan ko brit naman yung assessor nakikipagbiruan pa kasi kinakabahan kaibigan ko. hehe

    Still hot from the oven, my speaking questions from BC SG were:
    Part 1: About work, bags, photographs
    Part 2:
    Describe a thing that u bought that u are not satisfied with. What u bought? Where u bought it? Why are u not satisfied?
    Part 3:
    More questions on online shopping like why is it popular, why people prefer it...

    I second @lock_code2004. I took mine <2 yrs ago and I think advise ko eh be honest talga. May mga questions na hindi ako familiar and I told my interviewer na I am not really familiar with the topic BUT I explained why. There's no such thing as wrong answer. Opinion mo yan eh. It's how you deliver it.

    Then be natural. Practice lang talga, kung may mga kaibigan kayong ibang lahi, always talk to them, makakatulong yun sobra ;)

    It's a test of your capability to deliver a conversation (or a lie)...so the assessor must be convinced you can do both hehe

    I completed my speaking exam last wednesday. Lalake yung nag-interview sakin, he sounds british. Sa 1st part aside from the usual questions, tinanong nya ako about my favorite music and how many hours of sleep I normally get.

    Tapos sa second part is I was asked to describe a product/service that I bought because of an advertisement I saw and then what prompted me to buy it. Ang kinwento ko is yung binili kong travel deal tapos dinescribe ko lang kung ano included sa package, anong ginawa ko dun sa resort at kung bakit I think it is a good buy. Most of the details I gave puro imbento lang, kasi wala naman din masyadong included dun sa package na binili ko. Hehe.

    Then yung last part, ano daw yung mga usual type of media na ginagamit for advertising products and services at ano daw yung usual na image ang nakalagay sa mga print ads then kung effective daw ba gamitin ang music sa pag-promote ng products. Feeling ko sobrang daming nyang tanong, kasi may mga follow up question sya lagi tapos hindi naman sya tumitingin sa kodigo pero hindi ka naman kakabahan kasi nga di ba trained sila to smile all the time kaya relax ka lang din habang sumasagot sa mga tanong nya.
