Thanks to an IELTS test taker from Australia we can share these Writing and Speaking questions today:

Writing test

Writing task 1 (a report)

We were given a bar chart showing the spending on different items in Australia between 2003 and 2011. We had to describe it and compare where necessary.

Writing task 2 (an essay)
