IELTS Speaking questions from Canberra, Australia – September 2009

Yesterday I wrote about IELTS test in Sydney, and later on additional information arrived. Let’s thank S for sharing the questions he was asked in Canberra. Here is what S. tells us in his email:

“I would like to thank you and IELTS-Blog. It really helped me, I think my exam went well. I was very surprised in the test, guess why: the examiner asked me the same questions and the writing test was the same as a topic published on your site and I was practicing those questions lots of times :)”
