The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in Zimbabwe. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 3 (Discussion) 1.

Don’t get me wrong, exercise is a great way to release stress… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in Zimbabwe(Part 3, Employee Fitness, Ways to Relax and Public Health)
