В далёком 2007 году я сдавал IELTS, и до заветной 6 мне не хватило 0,5 бала. Дальше в письме. Результат в подписи.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the service I received at the British Council in Kyiv, Ukraine, while trying to lodge an appeal on the Speaking part of the IELTS test.
I took the test on the xxth of Xxxxxxxx 2007 and received the letter with the result on Xxxxxxx XXth of Xxxxxxxxx. My results were Listening – 6.5, Reading – 6.5, Writing –6,5 and Speaking – 5,5. The number of my IELTS Test Report Form is XXXXXXXXXXXXX. Immediately after opening the envelope I contacted the British Council in Kyiv to enquire about further steps to lodge an appeal, however, there was nobody able to answer my questions at the time, even though it was about 3pm and working day in the office is from 9am to 17pm. Moreover, after having arranged the appeal form to be delivered to me and back to the office, as I live in a different city, 10 hours travel by train, and paying Ј60, I was informed by phone that they had damaged the recording of my speaking and for this reason are unable to forward the appeal.
The officer, who contacted me, offered me the possibility to retake the test at any day on my discretion, however, I do not feel satisfied with this proposition as there is no guaranty that the situation will not repeat the second time. Furthermore, I suspect the center of deliberately lowering my mark on the Speaking part and deliberately damaging the cassette with recording in order to force me to retake the test at their center, as there is only one center in Ukraine where the IELTS test can be taken and it is very unlikely for people to travel to other country in order to retake it. On top of that, there is no mentioning on the Ukrainian British Council web site about the candidates’ right to appeal the results, which only further proves the unwillingness of the center to help people in this matter.
Taking all the points mentioned above into consideration I feel entitled to have my mark on the Speaking part raised to the same level as the three other parts of the test and have the new Test Report Form, with higher mark on the Speaking part, provided to me.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter and looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx
Speaking пришлось переcдавать (результат апеляции пришёл через 1,5 месяца - 6.5).
