Could you write a summary of your preparation for the IELTS Exam?
1. Was it your first attempt? If no, what were your scores in the previous exams?
2. How did you prepare yourself for the writing section?
3. How long have you been studying English in general and for the exam specifically?

I would appreciate it if you answer the above questions.
