Before the test, I have benefited very much from this useful website, Tigtag.com, I am very thankful for their help. Besides, just several days before the test, many net friends told me “good luck” and some even send me some very detailed IELTS listening, reading answers and descriptions as well as writing and speaking topics and their own prepared answers. Now, what I want to say most is just, “thank you, my dear friends.” Also, I want to know every one of you and become your good friend. The more, the merrier.
OK, now let me tell you something about IELTS Module A on June 15th in terms of listening, reading, writing and speaking respectively.
First, I’d like to describe listening first. Its version No. is 51 but it is actually combined by some old sections from different old versions.
S1=V26 s1
S2=V26 s2
S 3=V34 s3
S 4=V34 s4
Since other people have posted very detailed and accurate answers for them, I think I need not say something more about them. It is very easy.
Concerning reading, its version No. is 27. Article 1 is about two kinds of architectural structures. In the first part, it illustrates one structure. Next, it describes an improved structure and in the last part, some evaluations of those are mentioned. Questions 1-6 are choice questions. If both those two structures have that characteristic, choose A； if only the first one has, choose B and if only the second has, choose C. Question 7-8 ask us to write down two kinds of potential application of the second structure. Q9-14 are also choice questions. If that is the author’s argument, choose A； if that is skeptical of the second structure, choose B and if that is the second structure’s advantage, choose C.
Article 2 is about IQ test. You need not read the first paragraph. First are some single-choice questions and others are several T/F/NG questions.
Article 3 introduces two attitudes about language’s development. First are several T/F/NG questions and others are matching questions, what kinds of people matching their attitudes.
When it comes to writing, we are asked that which we agree that government should pay large amount of money on weapons to protect its country or on its citizens to improve their living conditions. That is task 2 of course. Task 1 is about a table and a bar graph. The table is about female students enrolled in higher graduation in 1990s in Europe, the USA and Canada respectively. In fact, it listed only 1994, 1996 and 1998, three years to represent 1990s and there are 4-5 countries included in European country list. The chart is about female students percentage of total students in terms of different majors. It is decreasing from Humanity to architecture. There are totally about 10 majors mentioned.
With reference to speaking, in Stage 1, I am asked these questions:
What is my name?
How he could call me?
Where I am from?
What is the best in this part of China?
Do you like music?
What kind of music is my favorite and why?
In stage 2, my topic is English learning which have been described very detailed by other people. It includes:
When and where I started to lean English
Describe an English class
What the most efficient way to study English
Unfortunately I have not covered all these three subtopics in 2 minutes because I spent too much time on talking about an interesting English class.
In stage 3, I am asked such questions:
Why I choose English to study, not French or some other languages?
Are there many Chinese students choose to study abroad like me? I think the examiner asked me this question just because I mentioned that I wanted to go to Australia to further my study, I study English very hard.
How do Chinese people study English?
That is the whole procedure of my IELTS Module A on June 15th. I always want to do something for this website, because I have benefited so much from it and known so many good friends with the help of it. Just because of this website, I know what true friendship is and how united we Chinese are. I am moved almost every time when I visit it and see some people post their test experience with a heartrending feeling as soon as they finish their test although they failed even they have paid so much time and energy on that. Today, I feel very happy because I have made my that dream come true although I do not think I did a good job on the test.

Finally, wish everybody everything goes well and everyone who is going to take IELTS pass that and no next time!
