## IELTS Test (2019-12-07)
### Speaking Test
**Part 1**
- Your Home / Accommodation
- Reading
- Time Management
**Part 2**
A time you had to give some advice
**Part 3**
- Do you think parents should advise their children on what friends to have?
- Should they follow all suggestions given by parents?
- How do these experts give advice to others?
- What kind of (examples of) skills do people need to have in order to give advice to others?
- Who is the best person for guiding, parents or teachers? (I answered: neither. that should be internet, especially Google)
- How does Google help people make decisions about career? (This is a good example of how your answers can affect the next questions you get - interesting!)
### Writing Test
In some countries, some older people choose to live in the retirement communities with other people, rather than living with their adult children. Is it a positive or negative development?
### Test results
| Listening | Reading | Writing | Speaking | Overall |
| --------- | ------- | ------- | -------- | ------- |
| 7.5 | 7.0 | 5.5 | 6.0 | 6.5 |
