MarcK Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 HeyWrote IELTS on the 8th November in Durban. I found it quite easy especially since I only speak English. About 100 people there. We started around 09h45 and out at 12h45. Results will take 13 working days!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miran Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hiers 'n antwoord vir al die afrikaanse outjies wat nog moet IELTS doen: Die luisterdeel is werklik maklik, hier en daar 'n moeilike spelwoord, maar blykbaar trek hulle nie 'n punt af vir elke spelfout nie (hopelik).Die readingdeel was redelik, gelukkig het jy genoeg tyd. Dit help as jy eers die vrae lees en moontlike antwoorde onderstreep terwyl jy die leesstuk lees. Waar die mense die onderwerpe vir die writing en speaking kry, weet nugter alleen. Ek moes oor polisie en museums praat. Ook 1-2 minute oor "'n Wet" Al een waaraan ek kon dink was dat lyfstraf verbode is in skole. My arme man het 'n bubble gehap oor partytjies en sukses...Hou duim vas: ons hoor ons lot oor 2 weke.Aan alle affies: julle sal survive!!!!

bienkie Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Ek het vandag in Kaapstad geskryf en alles was redelik maklik. Stem saam dat die praat deel die simpelste is!!! Hul het die simpelste onderwerpe - ek moes oor 'n groot organisasie praat en of ek dink dit is lekker om daar te werk... Maar nou ja, wat mens nie alles sal doen om in Aus te kan land nie!!!! Daar was ongeveer 150 mense wat vandag geskryf het en dit was vir my interessant dat sowat 50% van die mense jong mense was (onder 40)(LOL), ek sou dink dat die meeste mense wat wil emigreer, die mense is wat kinders het en 'n beter toekoms soek!!! Ook was sowat 20% van die persone diegene wat die "Academic" toets geskryf het, wat mens nogal laat dink aan die "brain drain" vanuit SA!!!Sterkte aan almal wat nog moet skryf - is nie so erg nie - net nogal lank!!Bienkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipp & Lana Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hallo almal!Ek het ook gister (Saterdag, 8 Nov) in Jhb geskryf en my mondeling gedoen. Dit is toe soos almal gesê het - nie te bad nie.. Die skryf gedeeltes was vir my makliker as wat ek gedink het. Ek het nogal gestres daaroor. Met die luister het ek bietjie gesukkel en die klank was nie te goed nie.Ek moes skryf oor 'boring tv shows' en 'people becoming less polite'. Die praat was easy - die beste kok, ma natuurlik! Selfs my vrou stem saam!Dit was ongelooflik om te sien hoeveel mense daar was - 483! Ek skat die meeste tussen 25 & 40.En nou die lang wag...GroeteP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
