IELTS 8th July 2017
- Thread starter mansham.bhargava
- Start date
both plural and singular form are acceptable if they had been mentioned in the recording.In this case, both string and fruit were in singulars form. I don't remember whether they have been mentioned once again later in the script.
1-10, in no particular order, phone number, husband, 40, 8 am, round, heater, silver, plastic, large, ice.
11-13, string, shade, spoon. 14-17, snow peas - popular with children, lettuce - colorful, cherry tomatoes - easiest to grow, sunflower - grows rapidly
18-20, bird, night, roses
20-25, don't remember them well, but as mentioned previously, growing population, cheaper parking in south side, encourages people to leave cars at home, are among the answers. There was another question about a rather unsightly bridge that John mentioned as an example, I answered that it reduced traffic. Can't remember that last one.
26-30, was the most difficult part of the test for me. The topic was about traffic tolls, Answers were either A (John), B (Professor), C (Both of them).
The statements were as follows, tolls are necessary, people should know where their money is spent, tolls are environmentally friendly, a previous model of tolls didn't work well, and tolls reduce traffic jams. I answered B, C, B, C, A. The first 2 answers and the last one seemed true to me, but not sure about the the 3rd and 4th one.
31-40, in no particular order, coffee, diamonds, phone, obesity, economical, reduction, gift, perception, season, fruit.
What about the reading test? Anyone remembers some answers?

Nice job!. Your 1- 13, 18-20 tally with mine. I am not sure of 14 & 15, but 16 and 17, colourful and grows rapidly. I cant remember 20-25 too. I missed the "gift" part , wrote savings instead, but do you remember the statement for Season and reduction? I cant even remeber them
In the first section, I wrote square instead of round, and barbecue instead of heater
11-13, string, shade, spoon. 14-17, snow peas -attract birds, lettuce - colorful, cherry tomatoes - easiest to grow, sunflower - grows rapidly
18-20, bird, night, roses
21-25 - agree, I wrote BACCB(the last one maybe even A)
26-30 I wrote BABCA
In 4th section completely agree, I missed the last one which was the season, I wrote quality
Did you take general reading? (1 section - Australian band in Sydney, the list of websites; 2nd - about travel expenses, applying for job; 3rd - building bridges)
Because robot assesing the listening and reading can't recognise answers which have been written by pen
I vaguely remember the statement for reduction, I think it was about how people save up money and then opt for a reduced price for products, not sure though. The statement for "Season" was the last in the test and it was about how the demand and sales for products change. Seasonal change was mentioned first as an obvious factor but they also said that it might be affected by quality and price.
