IELTS Speaking Test- October 2013 ( A compilation of speaking questions taken in various parts of the world)

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is taken in many parts of the world. It is categorized into two; General Training (for those who want to go to English-Speaking country to work or for immigration purposes)  and Academic Training (for those who want to pursue an undergraduate or graduate studies abroad) . The test is divided into four sections; Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
