My Spaceship Took-Off Successfully

At the start of my space-journey to the "IELTS" planet, other 15 spacecrafts had merged with the "British Council" space station to charge their 4-section fuel tanks. I remember that day -2nd, April, 2007. We had received a formal 'welcome' from the 'Captain' of the space station. He questioned us regarding, the fuel level everyone needs to charge his ship? Most of the astronauts answered; they need level Seven. Among them, I only needed level six. later on, I asked myself " all these astronauts speak English, so what is the factor that determines my English competency among them?" The answer was to raise my spaceship fuel level and challenge these astronauts to be the first one who takes-0ff from the "IELTS". We had all listened to the 'captain's instructions' regarding how to lift the tank's four-parts fuel level, in order to go back safely to 'Earth', and tried to implement them when we landed on the "IELTS" planet on 12th, May, 2007. Finally the results came on:

1- Listening: 6.5
2- Reading: 6.0
3- Writing: 8.0
4- Speaking: 8.0
Overall Bands: 7.00

The 'IELTS' will definitely measure your competency and highlights your weakness points as well as your power.
The 'captain' said it once" the truth hurts". I was expecting more grades for the 'Reading'. Now I know that I have to implement more efforts on the 'Reading and Listening' sections, but hey! I made it! I succeeded! I have flown back safely to Earth!
Thank you " Captain Tony" and many thanks to all my spacecrafts mates for making this journey pleasant and successful.
