Hey guyss!!! I just finished my IELTS TEST!! I'm just waiting for my speaking right now! .. I jus came out from L W R .....
My task 1 was a pie chart... they were two pie charts about clothing imports to USA AND JAPAN...

The task 2 was as follows:
Scientists have said that walking exercise is so important to our health.... blah blah blah

Why are people walking fewer and fewer daily nowadays?

How can people encourage them to walk?

Greetings from saint-Petersburg, Russia. I've already passed my ielts, hopefully with flying colors)

Just for your information there are given topics:
Listening was quite easy, understandable, only the problem -it's first part of exam and due to stress I was staring at the blank struggling to realize I'm actually at the ielts!!
So:1)rent apartment, address and number, price, location, basic needs- quite common questions
2)description of engineering machine and it's parts showing at the picture!! (Difficult a bit because of specific technical termins)
3)Australian nature spieces under danger the reasons for that and so on

Writing: very first time in my life when task 1 is harder than task 2:)
Task 1) Four bar charts giving information about clothes import in USA and Japan in both 1995 and 2000 years.
Task 2) experts tend to believe that walking is the best exercise for health, however people start walking less nowadays. Why you think is this happened? How can people be encouraged for walking more?

Reading - difficult! I did only a half properly but the rest just guessed at the last few minutes because my time management is so poor:( a lot of true or false and answer the question using three /two words, also killing multiple choice!
1)Nobel prize
2)post-war measures of British government to develop the agricultural industry (so dry style if essay that knowing there the answer I simply couldn't understand what author is trying to say)
3)how strong are digital technologies penetrated in the modern life, especially in sales of music and games, big text with too many details

Speaking:
1) do you work or are u student, major, is it hard your work. Trees how they impact on cities, life, are there parks in the place you live
2) describe movie, when where with who, what was it about
3) how movies have been changed from past, due to technological progress how they will change, what is more important idea or technologies of movies, how they may influence on children

Good luck to everyone whose ielts is right around the corner!

I also wrote double. But narrator said Doubles (our sound was excellent). About museum, I think "every afternoon" and "they can see how steam train works"

False for unsuccessful business stuff, as it was clearly stated that Alfred was pretty successful
False for Bertha was selected by Alfred, since she may have received the 1st Nobel prize for peace, but she was selected by the foundation and after Alfred's death.
