On examination day I was not
depressed or scared that
something big and bad was coming up to me. But rather I
was happy that finally I reached the day when I was
supposed to prove what I was capable of.
So I was a happy and very positive guy. Believe it or not
everything went as smoothly as I expected. Why?
…because I had a very positive attitude and mind set
regarding the examination. And I was really looking
forward to it.
During the whole IELTS speaking
interview I did all my
best to predict the questions that the examiner was
about to ask. You know it is just a speaking exam where
the questions can be more or less predictable. It is not a
rocket science.
For example, in part one of the speaking, the examiner
asked me what I did professionally.
And with a little smile
I said that I was a teacher. So logically I predicted that she
would ask me one or two related questions about my
profession. And you know what? She did. She asked if I
enjoyed my job and if it was hard and challenging for
which I had already cooked ideas in my mind.
