Thanks to our friends K.D. and K.S., we learnt this much about a recent IELTS exam in India:
Writing test
Writing task 1 (a report)
We were given a table showing the production of fresh fruit on each continent in a particular period of time. We were asked to summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
Writing task 2 (an essay)
Nowadays foreign visitors show more interest in the museums of a country than its local residents do. Why is this happening? What can be done to attract more local residents to the museums of their country?
