Here are some IELTS exam questions from the last few weeks:
IELTS Writing Task 2:
- Many people claim that massive investment in technology for space exploration is a waste of money. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
- Do the disadvantages of private health care outweigh the advantages?
IELTS Writing Task 1:
- Table about population, birth rate and elderly people
- Bar chart showing how 4 countries deal with waste (landfill, burn, biological treatment, recycling)
IELTS Speaking Part 2:
- Describe a film
- Describe a hobby
- Describe traditional music in your country
Advice:
You don't need to know anything about space exploration for the first question. I would just agree that it's a waste of money, and argue that governments should spend this money on schools, hospitals etc.

Hi Simon. I recently found you site. There are impressive advices are i here. My question is that my writing score was 6.5 last time in May 2010. Would you think buying your ebook can help me and also can you correct couple of my essays if i buy your book?
Thanks

KARIMAH,
I'm not sure what you mean by "could till as..." Did you want to write "Could you tell us..."
Unfortunately, I can't get a copy of real IELTS questions from recent exams, so I can't show you the answer. I don't know what the chart in the question looks like - students sent me the question.

FELORA,
The aim of my ebook is to help students with ideas and vocabulary to get a band 7 or higher for Writing Task 2. The ebook is my best work, so of course I recommend it ;)
Unfortunately, I can't offer to correct anyone's essays. If I did this for you, everyone else would ask me to do the same. However, if you buy the book, you will be on my email list to receive extra IELTS materials from time to time.
All the best
Simon

Hi Kathy,
I'd say "that kind of movie" or "those kinds of movie/movies"
