I had the test today (so don\u2019t know the result yet). Clearly my partner did not watch your video, so the question tennis became a bit one-sided; but we both did our best. Topics discussed were something like \u201cfavourite subject in school and why you like it\u201d, and \u201can important event in your life\u201d (plus something else); planning was to organize a presentation of a celebrity (actor, sports person or scientist) to students of English language. Open discussion was about a celebrity that is your role model (hint: just choose a famous person you know something about; nobody is going to check if they are really your role model). Somehow the discussion also wandered into a question by the examiner if one is happier with more money (no idea how that came about). \u00a0Recordings were about an actor who did something for charity and an athlete (runner for 200m, now trying for 400m \u2013 that was first question) who has broken her leg and is now training in a gym (that was the answer to the other question).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One more comment: a lot is happening before the test, at least in our case. I ended up showing my passport to at least five different people in four different rooms, were ticked off on various lists. I had to sign a piece of paper twice as the first signature didn\u2019t match the one on the passport; also you are asked to leave all your belongings (except clear water bottle and passport) in a special assigned room; they later check you with a metal detector. Picture was taken; fingerprint taken; I read something into a microphone four times (not sure why). Means, with all that behind me, I found it a bit difficult then to focus and concentrate when the actual test started. So, beware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PS: passed the test. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Useful video on youtube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=s3ErfZVIM3c &#8220;In this lesson, you can learn about the IELTS B1 Life Skills exam.
