#Writing_Task1_20161203 The table shows the maximum, minimum and average monthly salaries in a European country in five employment sector in 2009. @yourIELTS
Sample answer:
@ibtil
The table compares the average salary in five different sectors in a particular European nation in the year 2009.
It is clear that financial sector could provide the most attractive salary. By contrast, people who worked in hotel were paid the lowest each month.
Looking at the financial sector in details first, the maximum wage in this sector was above €7,000 monthly, and the average salary also ranked the first compared with other five sectors, at around €2,500 per month. By contrast, the salary in hotel industry in this country was not attractive, ranging from around €880 to 2,100 per month and in terms of average salary, the average employee was paid the lowest.
@ibtil
As for transport and construction industry, although the figures for minimum and average salary were very close, people working in transport sector could be offered relatively higher salaries, with around €5,500 per month. Finally, apart from hotel industry, the salary gap was the smallest in manufacturing industry, at approximately €2,000 per month.

سلام آزمون امروز، 9 دسامبر، سنتر دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران :
ریدینگ:
ریدینگ 1: در مورد Great auk بود.
ریدینگ 2: در مورد ساختار پر یک مارمولک پرنده بحث کرده بود و همچنین در مورد این بود که چگونه پرنده‌ها شروع به پرواز کردن و با چه هدفی پریدن های اولیه اونها شروع شده بود که به پرواز کردن ختم شد.
ریدینگ 3: در مورد مدار کره زمین و ارتباطش با تغییر فصل و تغییرات جوی زمین بود.
ریدینگ 4: چرا در نقاط جغرافیایی متفاوت جامعه زیستی متفاوتی وجود داره؟ اومده بود و دو تا تئوری در این زمینه مطرح کرده بود که یکیشون میگفت علت در شرایط جوی هست و دومی هم میگفت که به دلیل تعادل طبیعی است(مثل اینکه این متن جزو متون اصلی آزمون نبود).
@ibtil
در مورد کلمات ریدینگ هم من با خوندن تقریباً 5 صفحه اول hardworker و پنج فصل اول پاورپوینت آقای اعلایی تونستم همش رو جواب بدم(کلماتی مثل increment, champion, nevertheless).
لیستنینگ:
لیستنینگ برای من و سایر دوستانی که امروز امتحان دادیم سخت بود. سخت به این معنی بود که تند صحبت میکرد و سرعتش از تی پی او ها خیلی بالاتر بود.
پارت اول:
کانورسیشن اول: در مورد این بود که استاد داشت در مورد کار تحقیقاتی که دانشجو قراره انجام بده بهش توضیح میداد.
لکچر اول: تاثیر اینترنت بر حوزه هنر بود که چطور میتونه فروش فیلمها رو تحت تاثیر قرار بده.
@aalaeeTOEFLiBT
لکچر دوم: در مورد مکتب دادایستی بود.
پارت دوم:
کانورسیشن دوم: در مورد استادی بود که رفته بود پیش مدیر یکی از بانکها تا در مورد تحقیقی که در مورد بهره وری کارکنان داشت صحبت کنه که اونها در شرکتشون چه کاری از این بابت انجام میدن؟
لکچر اول: در مورد تاثیر مطالعه زمین بر شناختی که از سایر سیاره ها میتونیم داشته باشم صحبت کرده بود. توی این لکچر اومده بود زمین رو به لیوان آبی تشبیه کرده بود و در مورد مواد مذاب داخل هسته زمین و چگونگی ساختار زمین صحبت میکرد و بعداً این رو به سیاره زهره تعمیم داد.
لکچر دوم: یادم نمیاد.
اسپیکینگ:
اول: یکی از اقوامتون که روی یکی از صفات شما تاثیر گذاشته رو نام ببرید و دلیل اش رو بیان کنید (سه تا صفت بود: صبر و حوصله، مهربانی و اعتماد به نفس )
دومیش در مورد این بود که آموزش در آینده آسونتر میشه. موافقید یا نه؟
سومیش در مورد این بود که دانشگاه برای رشته معماری ملزم کرده بود که دانشجوها سال آخر تحصیلشون باید در ساخت و طراحی یک ساختمان در اطراف منزلشون مشارکت داشته باشند که اونی که صحبت میکرد با این اطلاعیه منتشر شده توی روزنامه دانشگاه مخالف بود.
چهارمیش در مورد تاثیر مواد شیمیایی و آفت ها بر روی موجودات و گیاهان دریایی بود که توی ریدینگش اون رو معرفی میکرد و توی لکچرش هم مثالی زده شد که شرکتی برای این موضوع تعدادی دانشمند استخدام کرده به این نتیجه رسیده که...
پنجمیش در مورد این بود که دانشجویی که قرار بود چند روز دیگه ترمش شروع بشه، استاد درس مقدماتی بر زمین شناسیش ساعت درس رو تغییر داده و اون دانشجو برنامش با درس مهم دیگش تداخل داره که یکی از راه حلها این بود که دانشجو درس رو برای ترم بعد به تعویق بندازه. و راه حل دوم هم این بود که دانشجو به جای اون درس، درس دیگه برداره.
ششمیش در مورد licensing (یعنی یک شرکت با یک شرکت خارج از کشور قرارداد میبنده تا شرکت دوم با پرداخت درصدی از فروشش، محصولات شرکت اصلی رو تولید کنه و با اسم شرکت اصلی به فروش برسونه)بود به همراه دو تا از ضررهای اون برای شرکت اصلی بود و هرکدوم یک نوع مثال داشت:
ضرر اول: کیفیت-تولید کننده خارجی ممکنه که از همان طراحی (مثلا کفش) را از شرکت مادر بخر اما با مواد اولیه نامرغوب، محصول بی کیفیت تولید کنه
ضرر دوم: دزدی تکنولوژی- تولید کننده ممکنه (مثلا موبایل) تکنولوژی را یاد بگیره و برای خودش کپی برداری کنه و محصولات رو به اسم خودش به بازار ارائه کنه.
@ibtil
رایتینگ:
رایتیگ یک در مورد انقراض سوسمار آبی بود که ریدینگ 3 تا دلیل انقراضش رو میگفت اما استاد اونها رو رد میکرد.
رایتینگ دو : برای کودکانی که بعضی کلاسهایی مثل ورزش، موسیقی و ... دارند کدومش رو پیشنهاد میدید؟
1. آموزش و تمرین روزانه و با برنامه: که والدین فرزندان رو ملزم کنن که در ساعت خاصی تمریناتشون رو انجام بدن.
2. کودک خودش انتخاب کنه که چه زمانی تمرین کنه.

Some people think they have the right to use as much fresh water as they want, while others think fresh water should be tightly controlled by governments because it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

@yourIELTS
Some people think they have the right to use as much fresh water as they want, while others think fresh water should be tightly controlled by governments because it is limited resource. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
@ibtil
Sample Answer:
@ibtil
Fresh water is a necessity in human’s daily life but how to use it varies in different societies. Some people take unlimited water consumption for granted, but others think that it is governments’ obligation to control fresh water as it is limited.
It is true that most residents in developed countries and coastal nations do not need to worry about the shortage of fresh water. Sophisticated infrastructures and sufficient precipitation can guarantee sufficient water supply. The price that these occupants need to pay is water bills and they can use as much water as they want if only they can afford it. Thus, it is undoubted that some of them hold the opinion that they can utilize the resource freely if they want.
@yourIELTS
While many other people do not need to concern about water consumption, it is also a fact that a large number of inhabitants in many developing countries have no access to clean water because of its scarcity. In those countries, natural environment and climate like droughts have a negative effect on water supply. What is worse, the poor situation makes water even more precious. If people use as much water as they want in those areas, it can almost be sure that water supply will fail to meet some people’s daily need. Therefore, it is reasonable that local officials limit the individual water use and people who waste it will be punished.
@ibtil
In my opinion, fresh water should not be used without any restriction. Water supply depends on heavily on natural environment that it can be regarded as limited resource in some countries. Water conservation, whether it is advocated by government or not, is what people should insist on.

#IELTS_Speaking_Part_1:
@yourIELTS
1. Describe the place you live in.
Well, now I live in a terraced house in the city centre with my family. It’s a three-storey house with a small garden at the front.
@ibtil
2. Which is your favorite room in your house?
It’s definitely the kitchen, where our family gathers ever)’ evening to enjoy dinner after an arduous working day. I always love the mouth watering aroma of the food my mom cooks and cherish the time that I share with my family over the evening meal.
3. Is there anything you want to change in your house?
Actually, I haven’t ever thought about that, but if I could change one thing, I would paint my room yellow and draw a picture on the wall. At the moment, it’s painted pink but I have got tired of this color now.
4. Are there many parks in your country?
I’m not too sure about the whole country, but here in the crowded capital, there are several parks with large lakes, providing green spaces for people who want to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. So, I guess we have a lot of parks in all the big cities across the country.
5. What do people often do in public parks in your country’?
Well, generally, people go there to get away from the crowds and enjoy the fresh air. They can do many types of activities such as going jogging, cycling, taking exercise, just sitting on a bench watching the world go by, or even dating.
6. How often do you go to public parks?
Well, it depends. For instance, if I finish my work early, I will go to the park near my office to do a bit of jogging and relax. Otherwise. I usually go home and put my feet up. However, I’m trying to keep the routine of going jogging in the park at least once a week to stay fit.
7. Are the activities you do in the park now different from what you did in the past?
Yes, they have changed, obviously When I was a kid, I only saw the park as a playground where I could play on the merry-go-round with my friends. However, now I go there mostly to take exercise and enjoy the peace and tranquility.
@ibtil
8. What did you often do in public parks when you were a child?
When I was a toddler, my parents took me to the park every weekend to play with the other kids. As far as I can recollect, the thing I liked the most was to play on the merry-go-round, slide and seesaw When I was a bit older, I used to play football in the park with my friends.

Describe one of your best (= one of your close, or good) friends.
You should say:
who this person is
who long you have known them (= him or her)
Or how you first met
what you do together
and explain why you think this person is a good friend
@yourIELTS
BAND 9.0 SAMPLE ANSWER:
I would like to describe my best friend, Anna, whom I have known for roughly 10 years. I first met her at primary school when she was my classmate.
At first, she was quite shy and did not want to talk with anyone, which made me feel that she was a bit proud. However, when we became close friends, she was more sociable and amiable.
We have done a lot of things together. Studying at the same schools, we have various mutual friends. So, we usually throw parties at the weekends or have a picnic together. Besides, whenever I get into trouble, I turn to her for help. For example. I remember when I got bad marks in the mock university entrance exam, she consoled me and then we studied together until the official exam took place.
Finally, we had the opportunity to study at our favorite college. At present, despite the fact that we have different plans and goals to pursue, I believe that we will be best friends for good and we will try our best to maintain this relationship.
@ibtil
Useful expressions & vocabulary:
roughly: (adverb) approximately, but not exactly.
Example: In the exam. I wrote roughly 300 words for my essay.
close friends: [expression] friends who know each other very well and like each other a lot.

mutual friends [expression]: friends which are shared by two or more people.
Example: Although we had not met before, when we started chatting, we discovered that we had some mutual friends.
throw parties: [expression] give parties.

consoled: [verb] gave sympathy to someone who is unhappy.
Example: After the team lost the match, the coach consoled the players and told them that they had played well.
for good: [expression] permanently

1. Do you agree with the opinion: “family is much more important than friends”?
Well, I agree with this idea, because for me, the family is irreplaceable. Members of a family share the same blood and are have an unbreakable bond with each other, which outsiders can never feel. I think the ties of kinship are stronger than any other relationships, and no matter how far apart you are, this connection can’t be erased For instance, parents always give their children unconditional love and support them wholeheartedly … and although siblings may fight, they 11 definitely stick up for each other if one is threatened in any way.
2. What is the difference between the friendship of men-men and women- women?
Obviously, there are several recognizable dissimilarities here. The most significant one might be that while male friendships are normally based on shared activities, especially sports, such as football, baseball or tennis, female friendships tend to be more emotional as they often share then feelings with each other. In addition, when it comes to arguments, men are the ones who find it easier to settle them physically, whereas it takes longer for women to make up with each other again after a disagreement.
3. Do you think the friendship between men-men lasts longer than that of women?
Well, actually I don’t think so. Although the way men and women treat their same-sex friends is quite different, I suppose that the length of a friendship truly depends on the personalities of each person in the relationship, and how much they understand each other, rather than the gender. For example, I have some intimate friends who I’ve known for over 10 years and our friendship is still going strong and they have really become my soulmates So, I believe that friendships among girls can also last a lifetime.

4. Do you think bosses and employees can be friends?
Yes, I think it’s possible that the relationships between bosses and employees can be developed further than just workplace relationships. When the manager and the employee understand and work well with each other, especially if they are of the same generation, they can easily become friends, of course, outside the company. As people simply make friends when they find the similarities between then souls, bosses and employees are no exception. However, in my opinion, they should keep an appropriate distance at work so as to do then jobs effectively.

@ibtil
Sample Answer:
@yourIELTS
It is noticeable that multinational cooperation has become increasingly common, and it makes contribution to global integration instead of international isolation. Some people claim that the primary merit of international cooperation is protecting the environment while others argue that the major strength is promoting worldwide business. Before present my position, the essay aims to critically discuss both views.
@ibtil
Undeniably, environmental protection needs the global efforts. If climate pollution needs effectively solving, governments from all over the world have to make stricter laws and regulations on the emission of polluted substance. Furthermore, international cooperation is able to facilitate scientists to launch research seminars by exchanging their diverse and innovative ideas in order to design more clean energy like wind and solar energy and address environmental problems.
When it comes to the international business, international integration plays an indispensable role in developing prosperous business. On the one hand, by providing advanced technology and professional skills to developing countries offered by developed nations, developing countries are capable of harnessing adequate resources and achieving the goal of maximizing business profits as soon as possible. On the other hand, more employment opportunities are created on the products-supply sides and a better quality of life is shared by skill-receiving ends. Admittedly, without economic collaboration on such a massive scale, a huge number of countries would be likely to be embroiled in starvation except for the few blessed with fertile lands and wise governmental leadership.
Judged by a detailed analysis on both sides, I think every side is extremely significant during the process of propelling global progress. However, it is high time that multinational collaboration paid more attention to environmental issues to catch up with the pace of global business development.
