Continuing what I previously shared in the past two weeks -this time I selected a couple of IELTS test questions from Shanghai and Changsha. What you really need to focus on is learning how to apply these formulas (find out more at EQEnglish[dot]com and keep practicing). Ok, here we go.
大家好!今天再次持续上两次的雅思口语考题精析，这一次挑了上海与长沙吧。虽然有几个问题是去年有提问过的，但这不意味说大家靠‘背’就可以。烤鸭们主要还是掌握好公式，加上练习，就可以好好去考了。好了不罗嗦，开始吧!
