Just sharing these:
Academic Writing:
Questions no 2. (Philippines, India, Pakistan, Vietnam – Academic)
Task 1
- The process of small-scale production of smoked fish (diagram in 8 stages)
Task 2
Some people say it is not necessary to travel to other places to learn about their cultures. We can learn just as much from from books, films, or internet.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
I found the reading to be fine, as there weren't much T/F/NG or Y/N/NG types of questions.
The Listening completely put me off:
1) Life guard application form (what the hell was that street name? And the phone number was way too long! I barely caught the name of the department where she worked)
Some answers in order:
Pitkeithly,
Phone N°??,
accounts,
swimming coach,
Good concentration,
difficult people,
excellent vision,
sunday mornings,
cleaning and admin tasks,
the newspaper
2) TV programmes review

C (Negative)
b) comedy,

3) Study of influence of Live music and visual arts on hospital patients
It's hard to remember the ABC choices!
Some answers in approximate order:
a) Lots of studies focus on children,

In a random order...
b) The one phrase left out should be: "patient were cooperative".
?? = Live music impact
?? = ??
Children = left hospital earlier
Post surgery? = Patient heart /blood pressure were average
A&Emergency = Little impact
Geriatry= visual impact
