Hi, did you take the exam in San Francisco ? I had the same questions as you and didn't feel so well too. This is my first time to take IELTS.robb83 said:Well second go at IELTS messed up.
With being a native speaker the speaking (ironically) was a walk in the park as the time before.
Listening wasnt too bad as a whole, out first question was about austalia and visiting places.
then about submitting an essay to a radio station i think
then matching two people talking about working subjects
then finally i think it was about the vancouver animal like a beaver (cant remember its name)
Reading I managed to turn into a car wreck on the last section, it was about fish market and trade. the true, false, not given were just taxing on my mind as always. wasnt sure on most of those and there were 8!
The writing was a letter to the newspaper about someone you know and the article had inaccurate evidence - relatively easy.
The 2nd question was is techonology like the mobile phone destroying social interaction
again another car wreck on this question, should have been easy but my mind went all over the place and time pressure got to me.
if you want any specific answers and this sounded like your paper let me know, ill see if i can re-call them
I think you are talking about the one:niswe said:READING
SECTION 1: (Questions b/w 1-7) TRUE/FALSE/NOT-GIVEN
Question 5. All Schools do not provide standardised equipment for paragliding
Essay Transcript: Schools sells old and new equipments to students
Answer: True / Not Given ?
I also had the same dillemma in the (next) question following to the one above, there was confusion b/w False or Not-Given, but I cant remember the question.
============================
Are you sure question was All schools do not provide. I remember it was All schools provide standardised equiptment and answer should be False if I read correctly.
I had the same question here in Qatar (Middle East)kadian said:READING

niswe said:I think you are talking about the one:
Some courses are not completed on schedule, it was something like this for paragliding true/false/not given.
I was also confused with this one whether it is False or Not Given but ultimately marked False.
=================
Answer of this would be TRUE (Reference to the paragraph where it said course may get delayed if weather not good)
