IELTS
So I sat for the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam on Saturday. For those of you who don’t know, it’s something like the TOEFL exam. It was my first time sitting for an English test as official as this.
Out of bad luck, I got sick on Thursday night. (I rarely get sick, usually only when I’m really stressed out.) I had a headache and a runny nose all through Friday. But I did everything I could to fight the disease: I took my pills, had a ton of vitamins and fruit, and showered several times to lower my body temperature. Thank God I was feeling much better Saturday morning. I can honestly say my illness did not affect my performance, except for the four times I had to use the toilet during the exam! It’s strange how catching a cold can make you want to piss all day!
The listening, reading and writing answer sheets as well as the recorded tape of the speaking module have been sent to the UK for marking. The results will be out in a week. I’m hoping for a 7 out of 9, but I wouldn’t mind an 8!

Seriously? My colleague has the flu now. Sounds like an epidemy to me.
Hehe.. I doubt I’ll get a 9/9. That’s for native English speakers I think!

I studied 8 days and I got 7.5. You are better than me buddy. I bet you will get 8 or 8.5.

Thanks dude. I just got my results a few hours ago. I got 8.5! I can’t believe it! The fact that I studied for over 2 weeks definitely helped. But like you said, I only needed a 6.5. Well, at least I got to show off on my weblog.
