Writing test

Writing task 1 (a letter)

The company you work for is opening a new branch in another country and you would like to work there. Write a letter to your manager and say

– Why are you suitable to work in that country?
– What job would you like to take in the new office?
– Ask about the work to be done in the new branch.

Writing Task 2 (an essay)

Nowadays people buy a lot of things even though they don’t really need them. Why is it happening, in your opinion? Is it a positive or negative trend for the individual and the society?

Well done guys, we’re applauding you! As a token of our appreciation we are sending your certificates of achievement to your emails. Winning IELTS results will be displayed in the IELTS-Blog hall of fame – so if you won, please feel free to show them off to your friends!

So, how does a person get a high score in IELTS? What does it actually take? All we know at the moment is that Chetan Soni (Band 8) used our website to get the most recent IELTS questions. He also told us how he prepared, and we will share his advice with you later this week. But there must be so much more information our winners can contribute!

We hope to hear from the winners the stories of how they prepared and studied, and what helped them achieve success in IELTS. Anything they wish to share will be posted on IELTS-Blog without delay, so everyone can use the same technique and get a better score in their own exam this month.

P.S. IELTS results competition runs every month, and everyone is welcome to participate. Learn how to enroll here.
