IELTS WRITING

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Scientists and the news media are presenting ever more evidence of climate change. Governmnets cannot be expected to solve this problem. It is the responsibility of individuals to change their lifestyle to prevent further damage.

What are your views?

You should write at least 250 words and more you can write if you have time.

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Example Answer:

Recently scientists worried about climate change have urged governments to introduce measures to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that are seen as its main cause. Simoultaneouslty, politicians and environmentalists have urged individuals to make changes to their lifestyle. I shall argue that governments and individuals should take join responsibility for this problem.

Firstly, industry accounts for a large proportion of the greenhouse gas emissions, and this can only be controlled by government action. Measures could be taken to discourage pollution, such as limiting or taxing the use of fossil fuels. Alternatively, subsidies could be offered to industries to clean up their production processes. If these ideas were adopted, I believe that businesses would regard pollution as a financial issue.

Secondly, only discussion between governments can ensure that solutions are successful. The Kyoto agreement, for example, tried to reach global agreement on how to address the problem. Without such co-operating, it seems to me that efforts to reduce fuel consumption are unlikely to be effective.

However, national and international policies will only secceed if individuals also change their lifestyle. For example, people could think more carefully about how they use energy in their homes. By using less electricity, installing energy-efficient light bulbs and electrical appliances, or investing in solar panels, individuals can make a real difference.

In addition, I think individual attitudes to transport need to change. Instead of making short tips by car, people could choose to walk, cycle, or take a bus. Since cars are a major source of the problem, changing our behaviour in this area would have a major impact.

In conclusion, I would maintain that only a combination of international agreement, national policies, and changes in individual behaviour will succeed in preventing further damage to the environment.

IELTS EXAM OVER VIEW

IELTS EXAM OVER VIEW

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test of English language skill. IELTS English exam is at present admitted as proof of a potential candidate's rank in English, by a large number of universities in English speaking countries. IELTS has over 800 test centers and locations across 130 countries.

There are two kinds of IELTS exam, Academic and General, that are held almost all over the world and both require different skills. If you want to study abroad especially in an English speaking country, you will have to take the Academic version of IELTS Exams. Your assessment will be presented in accordance with a level of bands, with one being the lowest and nine being the highest. It would be wise to get information from whichever university you have applied to of the band requirement for admission.

The IELTS test is divided in four segments, reading, and writing, listening and speaking. Reading judges the capability to read English texts. Writing examine if you are capable of writing good in English. Listening examine your ability to understand English and various accents. Speaking judges your proficiency to speak in the English language. You can use IELTS Practice material to pass it and see the IELTS exam papers.

IELTS Listening test lasts for about 30 minutes. It comprises of four sections that you will hear on a tape. Each section increases the difficulty of the test. It could be a dialogue or a monologue. Once played, the tape will not be repeated so you should be listening very carefully without diverting your attention, for the moment forget what’s going around you just listen the tape. Students are given a little time to write answers, so you must be answering while you are listening to the tape to avoid timing problems and if you missed one answer don’t think on it again, go for the next one and try to complete it in time at the end of the tape recording you will be given few minutes to check out your answer if you can remember those you left try to complete then otherwise let them because there is no negative marketing in it.

IELTS Reading test lasts for 60 minutes. The reading test comprises of three sections and like the Listening section, each section gets difficult. Candidates should be able to read well to avoid any delay.

IELTS Writing test also lasts for 60 minutes. The writing test contains two tasks which ask for different kinds of writing. There is no choice given, so you have to write on the given topic in time with good English so you can impress examiners, try to use all your vocabulary related to topic.

IELTS Speaking test examines your ability to speak in English, and will be conducted as an interview by a professional IELTS examiner. After the short interview comprising on common question, could be related to you or your family or work, the candidate will be asked to speak for one or two minutes on a particular topic. This test will last for just about 11-14 minutes and you should speak continuously related to topic given, some students change the topic and start speaking on unrelated things which give negative impact, so you should be specific to the topic. Examiner can ask some question at the end of your speaking topic.

To practice, IELTS sample exams are available in printed book form that include audio CDs for the listening section of the test. Through the samples and practice exercises you can familiarize yourself with the format of IELTS examination.

IELTS practice exams are also provided on the internet for you to practice and make sure to get higher band. Do not limit your study to books only. Go to the IELTS practice section and do IELTS sample tests several times so it makes it easier for you to take the examination, and builds your confidence to do well. They are especially designed for IELTS exam preparation.

If you are wandering when and where the next IELTS examinations are being held, then you can go online to British Council websites which announces IELTS exam dates being conducted all around the year which is different for countries to countries, so you should see your own country website or where you are living. IELTS exam tests are held at various locations for your convenience. You will also be provided an application form on the British Council websites. IELTS even has its official website.

I was visiting the British Council website for Germany there I see many questions that people want to know about ielts exam in Germany and other cities like Berlin, Bremen, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Leipzig, Cologne and other major cities where they can take ielts exams on the given ielts dates. There are many people how want to know that, can someone under the age of 18 sit in the ielts Exam? Yes, the minimum age is 16. Exceptions can only be made in rare cases, such as the test being a school admission requirement. Generally it is strongly recommended that those under the age of 18 take Cambridge ESOL exams instead.

There was another important question mostly people want to know that, Can a native English speaker take the exam then answer is “Yes”.
