IELTS test in Germany – June 2021 (Academic Module)

Our kind friend M.H. recently took the IELTS test in Germany and shared the questions that she remembered:

Writing test

Writing task 1 (a report)

We were given charts describing the total number of doctors in Australia in 1986, 1996 and 2006, the percentage of each gender and the percentages of Australian born and overseas doctors over the same time period.

Writing task 2 (an essay)

Some people say that the more a product is advertised, the more people will buy it. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Speaking test

Part 1 (Interview)

– What is your full name?
– Do you work or you study?
– What kind of work do you do?
– What don’t you like about your job?
– What do you like about your home country?
– Would you like to go back and work in your home country?
– Do you take breaks?
– Do you think it is important to take breaks?
– What do you do on your breaks?
– Do you sometimes fall asleep at work?

Part 2 (Cue Card)

Describe a house you visited that caught your attention. Please say

– when it was
– where it was
– describe your visit
– and explain whether or not you would like to live in that house.

Follow up question: Why wouldn’t you want to live there?

Part 3 (Discussion)

– What kind of checklist do people have for buying a house in your country?
– What type of houses do people live in, in your country?
