Today I would like to talk about the Cebu International Academy (CIA) located on Mactan Island. This school is not only known as the No.1 facility for ESL school in Cebu, but surprisingly, it is also an official IELTS test center!

In fact, this test center is equipped with a large screen in a spacious space that can accommodate more than 100 examinees at once. Therefore, apart from the official test venue, it was also used for public viewing during the World Cup the other day.

So, what exactly is an official IELTS test center?

What is the IELTS?

Let me briefly explain. TOEIC is well known in Japan, but IELTS is a common English evaluation test overseas. For example, an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher may be required to work in Canada, and an IELTS score is often required as an admission requirement when entering a university overseas.

Japanese people may not be familiar with it, but among international students from other Asian countries, it is common to take the IELTS course when it comes to English exam courses.

Now let's take a look at the features of IELTS.

Feature of IELTS

Four feature of IELTS

feature. 1
All IELTS are written exams. It consists of a reading comprehension test, and unlike multiple-choice tests such as TOEIC, it is difficult to solve unless you fully understand the text.

feature. 2
The exam tests four skills: speaking, listening, writing and reading.

feature. 3
IELTS is supervised by the British Council, a public international cultural exchange organization established by the British government. It is therefore based on British English.

feature. 4
And IELTS is used not only in the UK, but also in 140 countries around the world, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, making it an internationally recognized test.

Writing Task: Write atleast 150 words
The diagram below shows the stages and equipment used in the process of making matches.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.



[ Example Answer ]
The diagram shows that the process of manufacturing matches has several stages. The matchsticks are first cut, prepared, dried and moved to a storage area. After that, they are dipped into several chemicals and dried before being packaged. In the first phase, a log of wood is placed in a peeler and rotated, while a flat blade peels a long, thin sheet of wood, called veneer, from the outer surface of the log. The veneer proceeds to the chopper, which cuts it into small sticks. These are then soaked in a vat of ammonium phosphate. Afterwards, they are placed in a large, rotating drum. From there, the matches are dumped into a hopper and blown through a metal duct to the storage area. In the next stage, the sticks are moved from the storage area and they fall into a funnel-shaped device which lines them up to be inserted into holes on a long, continuous, perforated steel belt. As the belt moves along, the tips of the matches are dipped in a series of three tanks holding firstly paraffin wax, then base chemicals and finally tip chemicals. Next, the belt loops up and down through a drying area. In the final step of the process, the matches are packaged.

It's quite difficult. . .
However, the current trend is from questions that require knowledge of English,
It is changing to a question that asks about cultural background and logical thinking ability in English.
