I got a score of 8.5 9 6 7.5 in listening, reading, writing and speaking and got a grade of C1. My strength isn’t in writing. I have been learning Russian for 5 months, but not any exams taken. Yesterday I decided to take a self-test from ESL (institute which offers IELTS tests). It says that now I have an approximately B1 level of Russian (I don't believe it yet), but that obviously makes me happy. Четыре года назад я сдавал тест IELTS, чтобы подготовиться к обучению в Соединенных Штатах. Я набрал 8,5 9 6 7,5 баллов по аудированию, чтению, письму и говорению и получил оценку C1. Моя сила не в писательстве. Я учу русский язык уже 5 месяцев, но никаких экзаменов не сдавал. Вчера я решил пройти самотестирование от ESL (институт, который предлагает тесты IELTS). Там написано, что сейчас у меня примерно уровень B1 по русскому языку (я пока в это не верю), но это, очевидно, меня радует. ## Images 1.
