Here's a recent exam topic that a few people told me about:
Describe a time when you saved up some money to buy something special.
You should say
- what you wanted to buy
- why you wanted it
- how you saved your money
- and explain how you felt when you finally bought the item.
I've written several lessons about the 'describe an object' topic, here, here and here for example. Maybe you could take some of my ideas and adapt them to the task above.
hi simon, why you not updated something about general writing task 1

Hi Simon,
Here is my recent exam topic, unfortunately i forgot the follow-up questions.
Describe a law that you want to implement in your country.
I found this quite difficult. Can you give an example for this topic. Thanks

Dear sir,
There is a topic about a building you like. I find there are few distinctive buildings in my place for me to talk about.Besides,I am not good at describing exterior design of buildings. Can I describe a shopping plaza(4-storey) for this topic? Can I mainly focus on talking about the interior facilities and functions?
Hopefully, I could hear your reply soon.Thank you, sir.
