I am no longer updating this website and I am no longer following candidates' reports of the IELTS Speaking test. So I am no longer sending people updated information by email. But I can give you the following information about the Speaking test topics & questions for January to April, 2015 -

For the period January-April 2015, the Part 1 questions are at -       
http://page.renren.com/600009371/photo/8101372088?ref=minifeed&sfet=2038&fin=29&fid=27163111080&ff_id=600009371&platform=0&expose_time=1423265594&psource=1

and the Part 2/3 questions are at -

After April 2015, new pages will be written, with different internet addresses. When that happens, just go to http://page.renren.com/600009371/index  and look for something that looks like this for the Part 1 questions,

and something that looks like this for Part 2/3,

September 30, 2014

I have decided to continue updating the information about the current questions only until after the November 8, 2014 test in China. That is, November 9 or 10 is the date when the last set of updated information will be sent to those who subscribe to the $10 service, and that set of updates will include the new information that I find from online reports of the Nov. 8 test. After that, I will stop updating the information.

So the 2 months of updates that I wrote about here will be the two months of updated information from September 9 to November 9, not 2 months into the future from whenever you pay the $10, which was my original idea.

I have made this decision because, in the past few days, the number of new subscribers has only been about one per day. This is despite the fact that, every day, several hundred new readers plus more than 150 returning readers come to this website. It's just not worth my time and effort to continue this work but I will honour my agreement to those who have paid the $10.

To repeat: if you have paid the $10, or if you pay the $10 at any time in the future, I will send you my most recent list of current questions each time I update the list, but the updating will stop on about November 9 or 10 and will, overall, comprise two months' worth of updated information.

Information about how this website is going to change to a pay site

Dear Readers of ielts-yasi.englishlab.net,

I am sorry to tell you that from September 10, 2014 onwards, everything new that I add to this website will only be available to you if you pay Australian $10 (or the equivalent in other currencies) via PayPal for two months of updates. I anticipate that I will be making updates about 6 times a month. All the materials written before September 10, 2014 will continue to be available for free.

Each time I send you updated information it will contain a copy of everything that I have written since September 10, 2014.

To repeat –

A$10 for a copy of everything I write on and after September 10, 2014, sent to your email address each time I write updates, for 2 months.

See my Sept. 30 note here for a change to this arrangement.

 

Why Did I Make this Change?

To tell you the truth, I was planning to discontinue all work on this website after the last test in August, 2014 because I wanted to do other things and because continuing this website just didn't seem to be worth the effort. However, I now think I will give it another try, to see if I can feel that it is worth it. In other words, if I can receive a small income from it, my enthusiasm for updating this website will probably remain. I don't expect to make a lot of money from this, just enough to be worth my time and my work.

I know that some of you will share the updated information with others after only one person pays for it, or some of you will go looking on the internet for free copies of my updated information. But I would like you to understand that if I receive very little payment for updating this information, then I will definitely retire from this work and stop writing updates completely. I'm getting old and there are other things in life besides IELTS!

 

Is it Worth Paying for the Updated Information?

Some of you might think that you can go to certain other websites and find information about the current Speaking test topics and questions there, for free. Yes, that's true but I do sincerely think that the quality of the information and the quality of the English at those websites is not as good as on my website. (That is, those website that do not copy from my website!) I'm a native English speaker who previously worked as an IELTS examiner and IELTS teacher and I've been collecting and analyzing the real Speaking test questions for more than 8 years, so you could say I'm an expert at this. As I will explain next, the value of this information will increase the more we move into the future, that is, the further we move beyond September 10, 2014.

 

What Will the Updated Information Contain?

It will contain a new Part 1 current questions page (similar to Part_1_Questions_MAY_to_AUG_2014.htm) after each new testing period starts (in January, May and September), and a continuation of the current Part 2/3 topics and questions that you can see starting at this page, PARTS_2_and_3_INDEX_P7.htm. It will also contain a continuation of the records that I have been keeping at TOPIC_USAGE_2014.htm,  PAST_PART_ONE_TOPIC_INDEX.htm,  PREVIOUS_PART_1_QUESTIONS.htm,  ALL_PART_1_QUESTIONS.htm,  QUESTION_NOTES_PART_1_PAGE_4.htm, and QUESTION_NOTES_PAGE_9.htm (for Parts 2 & 3). In other words, the updated information will be exactly the same as I had been doing before September 10, 2014, except that it will be only available to you after you pay for it. If I add anything to pages such as vocabulary_lists_4.htm it will also only be available for those who pay.

I will send the updated information to your email address.

Of course, the amount of new information about the current questions and the accuracy of this information will increase the closer we come to the end of each 4-month testing period. That is, the closer we come to the end of April, the end of August and the end of December, the more complete and the more accurate the information about the current questions will be. This information is sometimes a bit "sketchy" in the first few weeks of each 4-month testing period but the information becomes clearer the more that I read people's reports on the internet after each test. I will be updating the information after each test in China, as well as gathering information from around the world as much as I can.

If my predictions are correct, some of the topics and questions that were used in May-August 2014 will continue to be used until the end of December. But after that, everything will be new.

After each update is made, I will continue to write on the front page of this website (at "Last Change ....") that updates have been made and on the page, Site_Changes_P8.htm (or Page 9 for 2015). But I will not be including the details of these updates – I will just tell you that that updates have been made.

 

How to Pay for It

At the moment, the only payment method that I am using is PayPal.

  1. Go to your PayPal account and send the A$10 to Christopher Green at gelin3@yahoo.com. You can convert your currency (e.g., RMB) to Australian currency on the PayPal site before you send it.
  1. VERY IMPORTANTLY, you will need to write your own email address in the message box where PayPal allows you to send a message when you send a payment. If you don't do that, I will not know who to send the updated information to. If you don't receive the updated information within 24 hours, it probably means you forgot to tell me your email address and you should contact me at gelin3@yahoo.com, telling me the name of the person who sent that PayPal payment (the name of your PayPal account) and the transaction ID number of the PayPal payment. Then I will know your email address.
  1. I will check my email at least once a day to see if PayPal has sent me a message that a new payment has been made. You might receive the updated information a few minutes after you send the payment, or it might be a few hours later but it will certainly be within 24 hours.
