I took the Oral test in the afternoon of 20 July. Thanks to those who have done the oral exams before and given us some ideas of the topics. They have really contributed a lot to us--- who take the test after them.
The IELTS interviewer is a lady who speaks very fast. Not kind and friendly at all. She began the test straight away without any greeting. And her voice is very low.
The first stage: Good afternoon, My name is bla, bla.. What s your full name? Where is your hometown? Can you describe the street you live? What of the city do you like? What color do you like? Is there any difference in the colors you like ten years ago? How do you think of fashion? Is there any difference in the clothes you like 10 years ago? What clothes you don t like?
The second stage: The lady said: Now I m going to give you a topic, here is some paper and a pencil, you may use them to make some notes if you need. You ll have some time to prepare. Then she gave me the topic paper, the topic is: The invention before computer 1. what is it? 2. what s it used for? 3. The advantage and disadvantage
As I said that the invention before computer is TV, and I described its advantages and disadvantages. The interviewer aked me how important it is in people s life.
The third stage is discussion:
What s the latest invention?---My answer is computer How important is this new invention to people s life? Do you think people are responsive to the idea of new invention? What kind of people are more responsive to the new idea?--My answer is younger people. Why?---My answer is: Older generation are more conservative. example one, two..., but the lady interrupted me, probably I spoke too much.
Then the lady said: That s the end of the test. Thank you very much. I couldn t believe my ears as it ended so quickly. Then I took the script paper and pencil without realizing it and ready to leave. But the interviewer indicated that i shouldn t take it out. haha! Probabaly I was too happy. Even though the interviewer was not kind and friendly, and spoke so fast and in a low voice. I still felt I did Ok in the oral test. I really would like to share this to the netfriends. And Thanks again to the netfriends who shared their experiences to us, so that I felt I did all right in the ielts oral test.
