negative media stories, and or anything else you may wish to discuss.</span></span><br />

</span></span><br /><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 8.5pt;">
IELTS (the International English Language Testing System) is the world’s most
trusted test of English language skills for study and migration. Developed over
20 years ago, it has proven credentials for consistently assessing proficiency
in listening, reading, writing and speaking.</span></span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">IELTS is relied upon
for professional purposes in Turkey and around the world</span></strong><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
IELTS test scores are a reliable indicator of a person’s ability to communicate
in English. As the level of English needed to study, work or train effectively
varies from one situation to another, each individual organisation is able to
set their own minimum IELTS score, depending on their own specific
requirements.<br />
<br />
In Turkey, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) remains a
secure and reliable test that is widely recognised. It provides a fair,
accurate and relevant assessment of language skills based on well-established
standards and covers the full range of ability, from beginner through to a very
high level of proficiency.<br />
<br />
Validity and security have always been top priorities for the IELTS partners,
who directly administer all IELTS tests in Turkey. Multi-layered mechanisms and
controls are embedded within IELTS test operations to mitigate risk of security
breaches and to ensure that genuine test results are secure and that fake or
falsified results are systematically identified.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="color: #e31837; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">An IELTS Partner
Spokesperson said: </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<em>“IELTS remains valid and is
still recognised for all non YDS purposes including entry to undergraduate
courses and for workplace opportunities. We are working towards IELTS inclusion
in future revisions of the YDS equivalency table to ensure even more people
have the opportunity to take IELTS in Turkey.</em><i><br />
<br />
<em>Fair and consistent delivery
of the test is ensured by secure technology and the continual monitoring of
examiners and test results as well as test centre management and facilities.”</em></i><br />
<br />
In addition to being recognised by more governments around the world than any
other high-stakes English language test, IELTS is relied upon by more than 9000
organisations for professional, employment and educational purposes.
Recognising organisations can use the IELTS Results Verification service as a
quick and secure way to verify candidate results online. <a href="http://ielts.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d0fe9bcdc8ba233b66e1e0b95&id=5b2b627a45&e=0a6975295d" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #00aaad;">www.ielts.org/verify</span></b></a><br />
<br />
In the last year, two million tests were taken around the world. This growth in
test numbers reflects the strong growth in the number of organizations turning
to IELTS to meet their needs for language proficiency assessment.<br />

Uluslararası İngilizce Seviye Belirleme Sınav Sistemi IELTS, Türkiye’de pek çok
kurum ve kuruluş tarafından yaygın biçimde kabul görmeye devam etmekte ve
güvenilirliğini sürdürmektedir. IELTS, adayların dil becerilerini, köklü
standartlara ve başlangıçtan ileri yeterlilik düzeyine kadar tüm seviyeleri
kapsayan adil, hatasız ve amaca uygun sınavlara dayanarak ölçmektedir.<br />
<br />
Konuyla ilgili olarak, IELTS Ortakları’nın Sözcüsü tarafından aşağıdaki
açıklama yapılmıştır:<br />
“IELTS Türkiye’de YDS haricinde diğer tüm alanlarda hala geçerlidir; lisans
düzeyinde pek çok üniversitede ve iş dünyasındaki sayısız kurumda kabul görmeye
devam etmektedir. Türkiye’de daha çok kişinin, bu sınavın tanıdığı olanaklardan
faydalanması amacıyla IELTS’in YDS eşdeğerlik tablosunda yeniden yer almasına
yönelik çalışmalarımız da ayrıca sürmektedir.<br />
<br />
Türkiye’deki tüm IELTS sınavlarını doğrudan uygulayan IELTS ortakları için
güvenilirlik ve geçerlilik, her zaman en öncelikli başlıklar olagelmiştir.
Sınavların adil ve istikrarlı şekilde yapılmasını temin etmek amacıyla güncel
güvenlik teknolojileri kullanılmakta, sınav uygulayıcıları ve sınav
sonuçlarının yanısıra sınav merkezlerindeki hizmetler ve bu merkezlerin
yönetimleri aralıksız olarak denetlenmektedir.”<br />
<br />
Dünya çapında 9.000’den fazla kuruluş, IELTS sınavının sonuçlarına güvenmekte
ve adayların sonuçlarını <a href="http://www.ielts.org/verify">www.ielts.org/verify</a>

It is commonly believed that the<b> BIRTH RATES</b> in Europe and Japan are decreasing whilst in other parts of the world the birth rates are increasing. This also reflects on the culture and how the family structure is constructed.</div>
<div>
The way children are <b>BROUGHT UP </b> varies from culture to culture with many cultures believe that living with the <b>EXTENDED FAMILY</b> will give the parents the support to those who need it. In contrast, families in the US and UK tend to be more of the <b>NUCLEAR FAMILY</b>. Personally, I believe the extended family network is great but at the same time I think children from extended families are <b>OVERPROTECTED</b>.</div>
