Hi Arazis,

Thank you very much for sharing this information. It appears your writing experience was similar to that seen in Egypt (viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1554).

Thank you for making the extra effort to include what you recall from the diagram.

What happened exactly? She stopped you 1 minute into your Part 2 monologue?

You are welcome. This forum helped me so much so i wanted to share something :)

Actually examiner constantly changed the topic or asked new questions and also in task2. Maybe i couldnt realise how time passed during exam, but it seemed like that to me.

That's interesting. Were you given 1-2 minutes to speak uninterrupted in Part 2?

I am not sure now, because i cant remember exactly how many seconds i talked. There was a moment when the examiner asked me, do you like taking photos by camera or phone and i answered and explained why, and one of the reasons that i like taking photos by my iphone is i have photography blog and its easy to share it immediately. After that answer she looked on her question paper and asked okk..do you prefer to share your photos or? and then she stopped and smiled and said okk you just answered that question :) this situation happened twice during exam. Another interesting moment..i remember.. first question was about where you live and do you like the place and etc. i said i live in the dorm and explained why, again she asked do you think the place/area you live is good for families to live or something like that..and we both laughed because answer was clear :) I hope these interesting moments will affect my score positively.

Thank you :)
