Anna's video: Taking IELTS Exam Vlog

Watch in HD!! Today's video is about my experience of taking the IELTS Exam (International English Language Testing System). I took the IELTS test few days before I left Japan and I just got the results few days ago. In this video I will share a little bit about my preparation for IELTS, some thoughts from the test day and then finally, of course I'm gonna tell you my result. :) Taking IELTS was quite intimidating experience and the rules in the test place were super strict. It wasn't allowed to use watch, not mechanical pencil, you could only take water with you, they took photo of everyone, my passport was checked five times (twice during the test (though we didn't even leave the testroom!!)) and fingerprints were taken four times. :D But all in all, if you prepare for the test itself beforehand, it shouldn't be so difficult to figure out. Also, since I'm not a native English speaker (obviously) I'm sorry about my mistakes as always, lol. ------------------------------------ ▶ Here're some good videos I found to prepare for the writing and speaking test: WRITING: Task 1: https://youtu.be/wF_7ha05kxY Task 1: https://youtu.be/QC8vN3GVQhI Task 1: https://youtu.be/KNXvnbxU61w Task 2: https://youtu.be/7Y8cm8k2vzU Task 2: https://youtu.be/0IFDuhdB2Hk Task 2: https://youtu.be/GgkRoYPLhts Task 2: https://youtu.be/IsDR3XEv50E Task 2: https://youtu.be/lNeHfQBSebY SPEAKING: Task 1: https://youtu.be/sRFEKvsw-vs Task 2: https://youtu.be/XyDrz6YAwvw Task 3: https://youtu.be/TyYHs1-6Vls Overall: https://youtu.be/2yvazv2nUpw These will give you good guidelines of what they want you to do in the test and I'd probably have been completely lost without these. :D Also be sure to check old tests beforehand, you can find them from google. The test feels way easier when you've already done it few times before and then you don't have to be so nervous about it. THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO: Song: XIBE - Loop Me !

Hello everybody! My name is Anna and I'm a 23 yo student from Finland. I was an exchange student in Japan for one year and now I'm travelling back and forward between Finland and Japan where my boyfriend lives. I'm very interested in Japanese culture and on this channel I'm trying my best to share real Japanese life with you. I have a small (big) obsession with beauty and makeup stuff as well which is another big part of this channel. I really hope you'll find at least some of my videos interesting and thanks for being here in the first place! ^^
