  oct 26 din ako, nakakainip lang maghintay ng result,, speaking topic ko part 1 is about birthdays and visiting relatives, part 2 about television programme and part 3 focused on television regulations, control blah blah. i like more my interviewer on my first take than my latest one hehe. feeling ko mas mahirap yong listening at reading namin unlike nong first take ko last Aug 17. sa writing naman ang topic is waste dumping methods sa task 1 at sa task 2 naman ang topic question eh about it is illegal for employers to reject applicants based on age. i felt ok naman sa writing kasi nakafocus ako dito eh since dito ako nabitin haha,,,anyhow good luck na lang sa ating lahat and we did naman our very best...cheers!

  about politeness and being polite (can't remember)
  
  Part 2 cue card is about a recent conversation with somebody you don't know. when? where? what? and why you find it interesting? followup: do you like to meet this person again?
  
  Part 3 is about problems (how you deal with it, do you prefer talking to somebody you don't know about your problem or not....) and social media.... (advantages and disadvantages, something about older generation using social media and about true friends and social media)

  Hi all,
  
  I'd like to share this site http://www.ielts-blog.com/category/recent-ielts-exams/ it's really a big help for me. My speaking test questions (interview, cue card and discussion) were found here but of course it was mixed up. Just update yourself everyday on this site and try to prepare and answer to all the previous questions. You'll be confident to face your speaking test.
