IELTS Speaking Task Answer

E-mail or electronic mail is the modern and quick way to send messages. This is a very useful gift of
technology. Here I would like to talk about a much awaited mail that I got recently. The mail was from
the British Council.

I had booked the date for my IELTS exam and the date for the exam was approaching near with each
passing day. I was waiting eagerly for the e-mail as from it I would be able to know the various details
like the venue of the examination hall, timings, date of speaking exam and of course, the date of the
result. My other friend, who had booked the date of the exam with me, got the email but I did not. This
made me a bit jittery and nervous. At the same time, I had full faith in the working of the British Council
and I was sure that the e-mail would arrive well in time.

Finally, when only five days were left for the exam, I received the e-mail. I felt very happy and relieved
to see this mail in my mail box. This mail was important to me, as I have already said, it gave me the
various details and aspects related to the taking of IELTS exam. Moreover, the IELTS exam was one step
in the direction of fulfilling my dreams of going abroad. This explains why this e-mail was of utmost
importance for me and also my restlessness till I did not get it.
