David Larbalestier：Hello everyone. I have arrived in Guangzhou and am ready to answer any questions you may have relating to IELTS.

I am the Director of Studies at Insearch, UTS.UTS is the largest IELTS test centre in the Southern Hemisphere, and used to be the largest in thge world, until IELTS became popular in China. Now of course Beijing and Shanghai have become the largest test centres.
Insearch has a range of IELTS Preparation Course - 10 hours, 20, 40 and 100 hour courses. We also have some focused courses, such as "Writing for IELTS", "Speaking and Pronunciation" and "Grammar".

主持人：Mr. David Larbalestier，从去年以来，雅思考试进行了一系列的改革，作为资深考官，您是如何看待雅思考试的变革呢？

David Larbalestier：The only changes in IELTS in the last year have been in the question format fo Writing. The question has become more focused and simpler.It is now important in IELTS Wring (Academic Module) to take a "position" - to write more from personal experience and give examples from personal experience.

In General Training Writing, Task 1, the candidate must answer all bullet points in the question and also must state a position at the beginning of the letter - explain clearly at the beginning of the letter exactly why you are writing - for example "I am mwriting to complain", "I am writing to enquire about ..." and so on.

The last major or significant changes in the test was a couple of years agoi and that wasa when the Speaking Test changed, and included Pronunciation.
