IELTS Results
Posted by hatim
Today I recieved my IELTS results, and I was astonished to see how I had performed. I was expectin an overall score of 8, where as I got a 7. The most surprising result was of my speaking test , 6.5/9.0. Apparently my english is more sound in familiar situation and my communication may cause misunderstandings in some scenarios (according to IELTS band ratings). I think I need to bush up on my sentence structure. Effective communication skills teach that content of a sentence is more important than in which accent it is delivered (provided one does not just butcher the language with a thick accent). I also need to make my accent more neutral, because people who are used to british accent may find it hard to understand my slightly mid western american accent (which I picked up while my stay in Nebraska). Let me add one more goal to 43 things, ie speak flawless english.
