Saturday, 11 May 2013, become the hectic day for me because there are so many "amazing" events that i ever face and it is for the first time. The first is when i want to go out for IELTS Test, as usual, i open rain coat that i use to protect my motorcycle from rain. I saw something different with my helmet adn i take few minutes to think. Few second later, what?? it is a snake. A small green beauty snake is inside my helmet, sleep inside it. I take long small bamboo, the closest stick one from me and i use it to chase away the snake from its hiding, in my helmet. After hitting my helmet many times, the small green snake goes out and i take my helmet as soon as possible. Ride my motorcycle as soon as possible because i do not want to come late, the test will be started at 8.00 am.
Thanks God, I come on time for IELTS Test. Frankly speaking, this is the first time for me to take this test. I have done self study and even took preparation course. This test is started by listening, reading and then writing. The test taker is not allowed to leave the room when the test is in progress. You can imagine that!! be inside in the room for four hours without going to toilet!!
I do not really love with this room because the chair is not comfortable for me. It makes me feel pain in my neck in the back part. Talking about the test, it is not far different from the simulation, such as for listening, it is started by volunteer application form and the test taker should fill the personal information of the volunteer. Next, it is about reading and there are some types, such as headings, true and false. The reading is about influence of odor and translator. I get more pain in my neck when i do this reading part because i have to droop my head to read the text.
The third part is about writing and there are two topics that i got and those are the percentage of used transport by tourists in 20 years starting from 1989 to 2009 in some countries. It is a line chart, so I just need to make a report of it based on the trend, such as the highest one, the lowest and the balance. That is the first type and the second type is about the condition of quality of life for people who live in big cities is getting worse from time to time. I have one hour to do this two types of writing task.
It ends at 12.15 pm and then it is continued with speaking test. There are two rooms for the speaking test and I get the room number 212. My turn is number 4 and the speaking test is not on time. It is late around 15 minutes from the schedule. I meet a medium age woman and the first thing that she asked me is about where do you come from. After that, she asked about where do i live, what kind of house i want in the future. In the part 2, i was asked some questions, such as diet, healthy and unhealthy food, dinner with family, and i forgot ,,:)
In the part 3 of speaking test, I was asked about meal. What kind of meal that i mostly eat, how many time i eat it, with whom you eat it and why do you love it.
In last, I hope i get 7 for my band..
pray for me...
