Part 3:
-In your profession, is is important to learn new skills?

*sir so far ito palang maalala ko pero most of my questions sa part 3 were about skills and my profession so if may nakalimutan ako, probably follow up q's lang un. if i remember ipost pud nako.
Sir, You were right about DONNA(close!haha) that she's grandmotherly and she opened the door for me and all. But i have yet to find out if generous jud cya. she smiled at me pag tapos na ng interview which i do not know how to interpret.
Ok lang ang listening but ung GT reading sir medyo mahirap. 2 sets ang true, false & not given, tapos may flow chart, and multiple choice.
ang topics for the writing:
task 1: you are getting married. You want to invite your english speaking friend to you wedding.
-describe the person you are marrying
-wat is going to happen in the wedding
-tell your friend why you want to invite him/her
TASK 2:
some people find it uncomfortable to live in big cities.
Waht problems do people in big cities encounter?
What are the possible solutions?
- I hope this will help. Unta i wont have to review again. makapasa unta ko, and sa lahat ng nag take.
godbless TSAA=)
True, may tricky part sa listening at medyo challenging ang reading...
ReplyDeleteAcad writing...simple pero niandar napud akong sakit na di mahuman!!! :(
Task1: 2 maps, compare then and now...
Task2: BA jud... about junk foods, one side: educate to eat less foods, other side: educating does not work.
Speaking questions: mostly discussed in review
Part1: about hometown, museum, travelling by air, fave time of the day..
Part2: about a long-time friend...what made that friendship last
Part3: ff. questions about Part2, what is the role of technology in friendship, what can you say about friendships developed thru technology->akong pagsabot kay textmates, phonepals, chatmates, and the like...
Interviewer: Donna Flint, smiles alot esp on 'likeable' answers... well, I was among 4th to be interviewed last dec 9 so good mood pa... :)
Just hope I get a desired band... then, I would never ever have to think of this exam ever again!!! Thanks TSAA!!

Hi Sir Rob and Sir Danni! Reading has always been my strength but I wasn't able to finished that part of the exam last Saturday along with writing :( There were a lot of paragraph headings and matching type questions. The articles were too long and skimming for the answer was like looking for a needle in a haystack!
ReplyDeleteAs for Speaking, Donna Flint was my interviewer. She was aptly described by Sir Rob so no surprise there. Here are some of her new questions:
1. What is the importance of motivation in learning?
2. Are there many museums in the Phil?
3. When was the last time you visited a nuseum?
4. What is the role of a teacher in children's adult life?
5. Can a teacher still be effective even if the students doesn't like her/him?
6. Are there any differences in the teaching strategies used in every subject matter? (something like that)
Part 2.
Describe a teacher in your Childhood whom you want to meet again. Who?When?How long?Explain why.
She do follow up questions in relation to your answer so you must anticipate that and make sure that you can justify your responses. Oh and I also want to share this..since Sir Rob mentioned that we have a little info about Chris Fay, one of my friend mentioned that being interviewed by Chris was like being interviewed by Sir Dan. He was friendly and likeable....but totally intimidating! (Needless to say, if sya na pud interviewer dapat tanan students muagi kay sir danni!lolz)
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the TSAA Staff for your guidance and expertise. You are still the BEST and the NUMBER 1 IELTS Review Center in town!Merry Xmas and God bless!
M.A. ♥

ReplyDeleteHi Sir Rob and Sir Danni,
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for all the review, I dont know if I made it basta I felt relieved after the test.
Thank God Listening was not that difficult as what I've expected and the reading as well. Pero ambot lang kung kapasa dyud to..but some says think possitive so that the possitive vibes ang maglabaw...
Anyway my Interviewer was Chris Faye. I may say I'm lucky because I find him accomodating and easy to talk with. He nods frequently and smiles sometimes. He had lots of follow up questions and directs you on the answer he wants to hear from you. Here's my interview questions:
Part 1: Are you working or studying?
Is it easy for you to find a job?
Would you like to have the same job in the future?
What clothes do you usually wear?
Do you think you will wear the same type of clothes in the future?
Where you usually shop for your clothes?
Part 2: Talk about a an artist (singer, painter,etc) that you admire?
What they usually do?
How do you know him/her?
What he or she had done that you admire most?
Part 3: Where do you think children fisrt learn the arts?
Do you think that the scholl should teach art?
How about those children who dont have interest in arts? do they still need to study arts?
Is it ok to study fine arts in college?
isnt it not that its difficult to look fo a job after college? when getting fine arts?
actually Sirs, I think hes making his own questions, I hope generous sya sa score..
Can Hardly sleep until Dec. 22...
GOD BLESS TO ALL OF US...and THANKS TO TSAA FAMILY!!!!
