Could any of you tell me what Ash and Rob said at 0:08 to 0:12? I'll appreciate you all.

Hi May Thida Su,

Ashlie says: It took him ages to find a present for Mum.

Rob says: Yeah, it looked, er, sort of interesting. 

I hope that helps :)

Hello musashow17,

The first place to go is our site for IELTS candidates. You'll find a lot of information about the exam, preparation materials, practice exams with sample answers and more. You can find it here:

http://takeielts.britishcouncil.org

 

You can also take a free online IELTS preparation course:

I hope those links are helpful.

 

Good luck!

Hello ames5,
