Our friends A and N shared the Writing and Speaking questions from a recent IELTS exam in Georgia:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a letter)
Write a letter to your friend from a different country. Invite him/her to a party at your home and include the following
– What is the party about?
– Give directions how to get to your place.
– Suggest how to accommodate him/her.
Writing Task 2 (an essay)
Some people say language courses using the internet and allowing you to talk to somebody is a good way to learn. Others, however, believe that study in classrooms is still the best way of learning. Give your opinion on these views and include your own experiences and examples.
