- I have also added another book to the page,
Booklist.htm.
That book is, "Cambridge Practice Tests For
IELTS", which most of you already know about. I did not have it on the
book list before because the book is not so useful when preparing for the
Speaking test, although it is very useful for preparing
for the Reading, Listening and Writing tests.

- Updates 17 has been sent to subscribers.

subscribed to the Updates Service. If you have subscribed but did not
receive Updates 15, let me know.
- See my note for June 5, 2015
(below) for information on how to subscribe to this service. New updates
will be sent to subscribers at least after every test in China, and probably
even more frequently than that.
July 12, 2015
- I am now ready to send updated information on the current
Speaking test questions. However, I have not yet finished updating all the
Part 2/3 pages. I have updated those pages for the topics that were
introduced into the test in January and those topics comprise
about half of the Part 2/3
topics in use now. The pages for the other half, those topics that were
introduced into the test in May, will be finished on
July 15 or 16 and sent to
subscribers at that time.
- If you subscribe to my updating service, I will send what
I have finished as soon as I receive your $20 payment and I will send the
remaining pages on July 15 or 16. The two-month period for those who
subscribe before July 16 will begin on July 16.
- See my note for June 5, 2015
(below) for information on how to pay the $20 and other information.
- What I am ready to send right now is called "Updates 14".
Except for those pages that I have not yet finished writing, the information
I will send you is equivalent to a continuation of the information that
is on the website now, which I stopped showing on the website for free in
September, 2014.

Hello, Mr. Green!
My name is XXXX, I'm from
XXXXXX.
I have registered for IELTS
test on July 4, 2016.
I would like to know if it's
possible to get the Speaking topics which are valid for that date in my country.
I'm ready to pay you 20 AUS
dollars to get that topics using PayPal, if it is.
Regards,
XXXX

My Reply
Right now, I'm still working on
updating the information from the January - April questions and I have only just
started looking at the May - August information. So, sorry, it's not much use
sending any money to me at the moment.
The topics and questions in use
in your country
should be about the same as in China, although there might be slight
differences.
You can find "pretty good"
versions of the current information (although there are a few minor English
errors in this information) at these web pages -
Part 1
http://page.renren.com/600009371/album/1114176569??ref=minifeed&sfet=2013&fin=22&fid=27480086648&ff_id=600009371&platform=0&expose_time=1435096681
Part 2
http://page.renren.com/600009371/album/1114177002??ref=minifeed&sfet=2038&fin=6&fid=27543667271&ff_id=600009371&platform=0&expose_time=1435096577
When I have finished my
preparation, my information will be better than on those web pages, although the
main topic titles will probably be mostly the same, and sometimes my information
will be almost exactly the same as on those web pages.
--------------------------------------------
June 23, 2015
The progress in updating my information on the Speaking test
questions has been a bit slower than I expected it would be. So I won't have the
information available until early next month, July.
June 5, 2015
- Sometime around the last week of
June, 2015, I will resume what I was doing last year until November
11, 2014.
- That is, I will restart sending updated information to
everyone who subscribes to my pay service. This information will not be
posted on this website for free, like it was until September 10, 2014.
- I need 2 to 3 weeks to update my data, so I will not be
ready to send information until near the end of June.
- This service will cost $20 (Australian) and, for that
payment I will send you updated information for 3 months after
you pay. In addition, I will send you all the updated information for the
IELTS Speaking test questions from September 10, 2014 until the present.
This will enable you to have a complete record (as far as I know) of all the
IELTS Speaking test questions from 2006 until the present. The notes that I
sometimes write will also be included in those updates. (A$20 is about 96
RMB.) Send the $20 to gelin3@yahoo.com. There is no need to
include my name because PayPal knows I am at gelin3@yahoo.com.
- The only way to pay for this service will be through
PayPal. Unlike previously,
PayPal is now easily available for people in China. If you have a bank card
that has the words, "Union Pay" on it, then you should be able to easily get
a PayPal account. If you think you will want to subscribe to
this pay service, you should apply for a PayPal account now.
- Sorry, I probably won't have time to do any tutoring for
the Writing test, nor will I have time to do Speaking test tutoring via
Skype – I will only be doing updates for the Speaking test topics and
questions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January 12, 2015
- In my note written on January 4, I forgot to mention
something important. That is, the topics that were introduced into the test
in May, 2014, will be used in some of the tests in January, along with the
new topics. Then, at the end of January, those topics
from May 2014 will be fully retired. So if you are going to do the test in
January, you should not ignore the topics from May.
January 4, 2015
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 -
- All (or almost all) of the topics that were introduced
into the test in May 2014 were retired at the end of December, 2014.
- Almost certainly, the topics that were introduced in
September, 2014 will continue to be used until the end of April. These
topics/questions will comprise almost half of the topics that will be used
in the Speaking test. You can get a copy of them in my "Updates 13" by
sending me $10, as explained elsewhere on this website.
- To get information about the other half of the topics,
the topics that will be introduced in January, you can try the following
three Chinese websites after the first test in China in January -
http://page.renren.com/600009371/index (a website that used to copy some
of its materials from me),
http://www.51ielts.com and
http://ielts.xdf.cn. If you are not Chinese, you will need to use
translation software such as Google translate although a lot of information
is written in English.
