    I had my IELTS last week..here's a detailed description of my General Training exam...

    Speaking: (for 15 mins)
    - First part was questions regarding personal stuff..she asked me my name, description of my house, my favorite place in the house, and what would i want to change if given the chance..
    - Second part was related to my travel experience..she asked me to speak for two minutes about the longest travel i had which i didn't expect, why did i go there and with whom..
    - Third part was questions related to second part and travelling..she asked me questions like if i would go back to the place again, what season/weather i like the most when travelling, if climate in the Philippines is changing and what causes it if it does, why people nowadays go on long travel, what are it's advantages and disadvantages, what should the government do that would make travelling/commuting better, do you think bicyles are popular here as means of transportation and it's advantages & disadvantages if it'll be used as means of transportation in small communities..

    Listening:
    - a 40 item exam for 40 mins about anything under the sun, like call conversations, conversations between professor and student, and advertisements about a place or event..type of question are fill in the blanks and multiple choice..

    Reading:
    - Topics to read was about the advertisements, a newspaper article and one was an article about sheep ..it is a 40 item exam too for 1hr and type of question is multiple choice.

    Writing:
    - First part was writing a letter to a friend regarding the new city you transferred to because of one training course you'd attend to, describing where you live, what you like about the course, and why should your friend take the course too..it should be composed of atleast 150 words and should be written for 20 mins..
    - Second part was writting a 250 words essay..the topic was about historical places and buildings, the reasons they are destroyed and damaged, and what should be done to protect these historical buildings from damaging..it should be written for 40 mins..

    Just remember that General training exam is different than Academic exam with regards to Reading and Writing..also topics vary in every exam dates so don't expect we'd have the same topics..Examinees for General and Academic take exams at the same time too, they just have different booklets to use..i hope this helps and good luck.. i still have to wait for my result on July 22.
