guys I am new on this forum. I just want to ask about the Australian VISA 189 about the certificate of Employment requirements. What if the company is already close how could I ask a new certificate aligning with Australian Immigration. I have the old certificate they provided before but it only indicates there the length of my stay in the company.

@xtian_777 that means kelangan mo ng statutory declaration or affidavit from your superiors..if alam mo na assessing body mo then try to check ano yung guidelines nila..and it is best to channel your question to the right thread..im sure marami na ang may same case...

xtian_777 · April 2014

I have several questions about IELTS.

From reading, I found that you get +5 for partner skills.
So does that mean my wife have to take it too or can she just get some certification from her school? (DLSU)

Also, what happens if you get a low grade on one part of the IELTS and decide you want to retake it. Do you need to retake all the tests (L, R, S, W) again or just the part you want to retake?

Thanks!

sis yun module 2 yun listening hangan test 3 lang pero sa pdf file hangan test 4. Ginaganahan na ako sa listening pumapasa na ako sa mga practice exams ko. Yun reading ko ang ligwak wahahaha.

thegreatiam15 · April 2014

mga sir at madam, magsstart na po ako ulet para sa 3rd exam ko pero this time i changed exam centre na din, since ok na po yung listening at speaking ko siguro ilalagay ko siya on low priority mode,

magconcentrate po sana ako sa reading and writing, question:

paano kayo magprepare for reading?ano ba mga necessary steps to improve reading skills both direct at precise training na gumana para sa mga may mataas na reading skills?

how about writing papaano po sila nagprepare para dito?ano po ang mga necessary steps to improve writing?

maraming salamat po sa mga makakatulong...

Hello Guys!

Would like to share my recent experience in IELTS. Here are some tips:

First of All, Pray! Follow the models of Praying: ACTS = Adoration Confession Thanksgiving Supplication.
-Praise him, Repent, ask for Guidance, Wisdom and Strength

Second, Be Prepared, not by memorizing all answers to questions, but by training yourself in using English

Third, Balance Diet and Healthy living.

Busy din ako sa work, pero i only have 2 weeks to prepare myself sa exam.

Im a heavy smoker, And I dsicplined myself for about 2 weeks, prior sa exam and until the exam, i quit smoking. Bakit? It helped me a lot to focus more sa reviewing ko. And i can definitely say na malaking bagay ang concentration lalo na sa exam. beer? moderate lang, or say pass muna sa mga kainuman.

If your are working, take a leave in your office, a day before your exam. RELAX yourself, Pa massage ka, maybe matulog or magpahinga, and enjoy yourself doing whatever you like. Dapat mga 9PM tulog na ka pala, para makapahinga ka for the exam.

Brain foods! I took a diet, Fruits + Fish lang for 2 weeks. haha! Fish because, may omega oil content ito na good for the brain. And same with fruits. You can have a supplement also like glutaphos or vitamins. Also NUTs! its good for your brain. Then 2 glasses of Milk everyday for 2 weeks. AVoid eating junks, drinking sodas and coffee ilessen din kasi may caffein content ito, minsan mahihirapan ka makatulog, and pag kulang sa tulog, mahihirapan ka sa concentration.

Practise! Practise! Practise! Magbasa ng mga topics regarding sa IELTS para may idea ka kung ano ang meron sa exam. Manuod sa youtube, andami mga examples and tips din. You can attend workshops as well.

Then, On the day ng exam, say, mga 1 hour before it starts, take a deep 30 stomach breath. FOCUS, set aside yung mga problem sa lovelife, school, work, personal probs. wag mo intindihin mga katabi mo, Just focus. Icheck nyo din pala kung saan yung place ng pag exam nyo, and yung attire nyo, dapat comfortable kayo. sa case ko, nag longsleeves ako kasi sa hotel yung exam, and buti naka longsleeves ako kasi malamig.

Lastly sa speaking, be confident, be yourself, and enjoy the conversation with the interviewer. Wag kayo mag memorize ng sagot, mas ok na wala kayong idea sa mga tanong, mas masaya kasi magugulat kayong puros general question lang talaga and kayang kaya mong sagutin ito, all you have to do is transfer the idea into english words. have fun, fun, fun!

Overall, masasabi ko na i took IELTS - Not because i need to, pero its a thing na nagmulat sa akin para personally ko ma assess ang sarili ko kung ano naba ang skill ko sa english. For me, doesnt matter kung bumagsak ako or what, some will say na sayang yung 9k, pero for me, its all worth it. IELTS is an enjoyable journey afterall. Honestly, say, pumasa ako, i would definitely try taking the exam again, dont know, pero ngayon ko na realize na masaya pala yun, lalo na kung natapos mo, parang nabunutan ka ng tinik sa dibdib.

PS: the day na nag exam ako, 220 kame, and katabi ko yung pinakamagandang girl sa buong nag exam. bwahahaha! so promising! pero payo ko, wag ka papadistract ha, isipin mo mukha syang baboy

)

Peace to all!

@ArvieP we took IELTS on the same day 15th March. I got 6 in speaking and 7 for the rest. I will retake by the 28th of April.

You can practice writing using the ielts-exam.net.
They have a lot of practice sets for all components.
Hope it will help.
