DEFINITION OF IELTS

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a standardised

English language test designed for foreign speakers who wish to study, work and live
in an English-speaking environment. The IELTS language certificate can open doors
to international academic and professional opportunities in many institutions and
places in the world where English is used.

Established in 1989, IELTS has become the most popular high-stakes English-

language certificatein the world. There are currently around 1,000 test locations in
more than 140 countries, carrying out over two million tests each year. Over 9,000
organisations worldwide accept the certificate as a proof of proficiency in the English
language.

IELTS is jointly owned and managed by the British Council, Cambridge English
Language Assessment and IDP Education Australia. IELTS testing materials are
written by international teams of writers from different English-speaking countries, so
the content reflects real-life situations. The Speaking part of the IELTS test is a one-
to-one assessment with a real person, not with a computer. You will thus have
conversations with an examiner who can effectively evaluate your language skills,
without being distracted by other candidates or technical problems.

ELTS has been developed by some of the world’s leading language assessment
experts and will test the full range of English skills needed for success in your new
job or study placement abroad.

You’ll be assessed on the following elements:

 Listening
 Reading
 Writing
 Speaking

IELTS SCORING

IELTS scores almost always range from 1 to 9 (“non-user” to “expert”), and there is a
0 score as well (“did not attempt”). You can also get a score ending in .5, for example,
6.5, 7.5., 8.5. Each individual IELTS Skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, and
Speaking) gets a band score in this range. You also get an overall band score for your
whole test. This “composite” score is the average of your individual IELTS scores,
and is meant to represent your overall English ability.

IELTS QUESTION
WRITING
The graph shows the number of visitors to four international museums between 1980
and 2015.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make
comparisons where relevant.

Answer:

The line graph shows how many people visited four museums in different countries in
the world between 1980 and 2015.

All in all, the Louvre Museum was the most popular, with between approximately 8
and 9 million visitors each year. The least popular were the Shenzhen and the London
Science Museum, with no more than 4 million visitors each year.

The number of visitors to the London Science Museum decreased slowly from just
over 4 million in 1980 to around 2 million in 2015. By contrast, the visitors to the
Vatican Museum increased from just under 5 million in 1980 to around 9 million in
2015.

In addition, the number of visitors to the Shenzhen Museum stayed about the same
over the thirty-five-year period. They fell from just under 4 million in 1980 to just
over 3 million in 2000 and then rose to just under 4 million again in 2015.
