IELTS 8th July 2017

[GlebPermiakov]

Hello,mates!
Glad to share my anxiety with you!))
In the 4th section of listening test i missed the part of recording related to answers 38 and 39, however, i wrote them according to my logic: 38 present (instead of gift) and 39 evaluation (instead of perception).
I realise that "evaluation" will be hardly accepted as correct answer, it is so pity, because i was thinking about a word with correct meaning, but i couldn't remember exactly the term "perception"... :-( ... so, let it be.

In fact, i want to ask about the word "present" - if it may be recognised equal to the word "gift" in this context?

I remember some answers not any particular order.
Round
Silver
Ice (machine at the party)
Section 4
Perception
Gift
Milk or food (not sure)

Bird (Tour that takes place in d evening) not sure though

Nice one. Dat question with milk, fruit or food answer has been controversial here. I actually chose food initially but later changed it to milk. I believe it's obviously not food cos food was written as part of d question as one of d waste. I didn't see it until during d given 10 minutes after d first 30 minutes. I kinda heard milk so it was my next option. Could be fruit though. Success to us all.

Also can't remember 14-17

21-30
Can't remember quite well what I wrote. Similar to what u have I guess.

31-40
We have d similar answers here but I didn't put 's' after diamond. Seems most people here put 's'. D question was like 'sales increases when items are displayed beside precious items such as. ........'

What do u think about dis singular/plural forms of answers guyz? I personally believe they should usually/always mark both correctly. What's your take guyz?

Nice one. Dat question with milk, fruit or food answer has been controversial here. I actually chose food initially but later changed it to milk. I believe it's obviously not food cos food was written as part of d question as one of d waste. I didn't see it until during d given 10 minutes after d first 30 minutes. I kinda heard milk so it was my next option. Could be fruit though. Success to us all.

You are right food was already in the question like 3or 4 words away from the missing word. I doubted milk too when I was going to pick it cos I don't think milk could be measured in kilos. So I think fruit may be it. The other one that gave me a tough time was Gift and savings. I heard both so I noted on the question paper. But i read and read d sentence again but couldn't figure it out so I chose savings but afterwards I think its gift.

Excellent how about the reading.. can you remember ur answers?

Can't remember most o. Can easily remember when I see someone's own just as I did in listening as stated above. Can however remember few/some. Lemme try:
1-10
Talking about a dance group and their chosen theatre. D first part was d true, false and not given type of question. One was something like: d professor found d dance group. Dat's not true(false). It was after d group was formed dat they went to talk the prof to be their patron or something.
They also said something like a particular hall was chosen to temporarily. I think dat's not given.
Can't remember much here.

11-20
About different websites with different features/characteristics and questions. Questions like which website does so so so thing. It's d matching type of questions. Matching d websites with some details provided in d options. I remember one was: doesn't provide details about how to get to tourist centers around. Another was asking for d websites dat gives u link to other websites for informations not available on it, etc. It's hard to say d options one chose in this type of questions.

21-30
This section was about info regarding an employment. Stages involved in being converted to a permanent staff from a temporary staff. Some of d answers:
feedback(what u get from d company after writing a test)
Line Manager(who to confirm from if an expenses would be reimbursed)
Email(advising staff not to check it during work hour)
Utility(utility bill to confirm staff's address)
3 star(hotel staff should stay when on an official trip)
Economy(class of flight to book for local trips)
Line manager(can't remember d other question with dis answer. I think it's who to contact for approval before booking a more expensive hotel)
7(job experience above dis not needed to b stated in d form)
exercises(test to do when shortlisted), etc.

31-40
The first part of this section is matching i.e. matching paragraphs with suitable topics so can't remember most. Others:
About a guy dat travelled far to help earthquake survivors.
Labelling a bridge(one of d answers: deck)
Why d guy abandoned his course(he felt he might not be able to live d same live after graduating)
Steel rope(i think. Material of item given by a foreign company).
