Question about IELTS

KingKongStudy — Wed, 22 Jun 2016 22:36:19 +0800

Hi guys, I'm planning to apply for LLM next year so I thought I should sit for IELTS first. I tried googling and found British Council website with regard to IELTS examination, however, the speaking tests are usually on weekdays, which I will have a problem with since I'm currently working (pupilage). Once I'm done pupilage I'm going to start a postgraduate diploma so I'm gonna be preoccupied on Saturday.

I found another website; IDP, which also offers IELTS examination, and the dates are all on Saturday. I'm not sure how it's done, but I assume the speaking test will be on the same day as the others.

My question is, is there a difference between the IELTS offered in British Council and in IDP?

The Fighter by David O. Russell

Christian Bale and director David O. Russell are poised to get into the ring with Mark Wahlberg on "The Fighter."

Relativity Media has stepped up to fully finance the film. Paramount Pictures, which initiated the project, will now be limited to distributing domestically.

The picture is expected to begin production in July, though Relativity stressed that the principals’ deals are still being negotiated.

Pic tells the story of Boston fighter "Irish" Mickey Ward and how he was helped to the world lightweight championship by half-brother Dicky Eklund. Eklund once decked Sugar Ray Leonard and went the distance against the boxing legend before forfeiting his career to drugs and crime. He redeemed himself by training Ward through his Rocky-like run to the title.

Project reteams Bale with Relativity and its fledgling one-off picture division, which produced the Bale starrer "3:10 to Yuma." Over the past few years, "The Fighter" has drawn some of Hollywood’s biggest talents but was KO’d on two previous occasions. The project first came together with Boston natives Wahlberg and Matt Damon toplining for director Darren Aronofsky. Damon dropped out and Brad Pitt was poised to replace him, but the picture still stalled. Then Aronofsky moved on.

Meanwhile, Wahlberg has continued to train for the pic and is in fighting shape.

David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing through their Mandeville banner. Most recent script drafts were by Scott Silver and Lewis Colick (who rewrote the upcoming Zac Efron starrer "The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud").

Wahlberg will play Ward, a fighter who was losing bouts and was ready to hang up the gloves when his brother came back into his life. Bale will play Eklund, whose drugs and robbery spree drew him a 10- to 15-year sentence in state prison. There, he kicked drugs, became a model prisoner and emerged as a changed man who helped his brother reach the glory that eluded him.

Russell previously worked with Wahlberg on "Three Kings" and "I Heart Huckabees." The director gets in the ring for the first time with Bale, who’ll next star in the McG-directed "Terminator Salvation" and the Michael Mann-helmed "Public Enemies." The director, who is repped by CAAhas signed on for three projects in recent weeks including "The Fighter": "Aaron and Sarah" at Fox 2000 and "The Silver Linings Playbook" for the Weinstein Co.

Wahlberg and Bale are repped by Endeavor.

Amy Adams is in negotiations to star alongside Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg in Relativity Media's "The Fighter."

Paramount Pictures will distribute the David O. Russell-helmed drama domestically. Adams would play a gritty bartender from Massachusetts who ends up dating Wahlberg's character, "Irish" Mickey Ward.

Pic, which is scheduled to start lensing this summer, tells the story of Ward's early days on the rough streets of Lowell, Mass., and how he was helped to the world lightweight championship by his half-brother, portrayed by Bale. Melissa Leo's also been cast.

David Hoberman, Ryan Kavanaugh, Wahlberg, Paul Tamasy and Dorothy Aufiero are producing. Todd Lieberman and Tucker Tooley exec produce.

Adams will next be seen in Sony's "Julie and Julia" alongside Meryl Streep. She recently wrapped romantic comedy "Leap Year" for Spyglass and Benderspink.

Christian Bale seems to be one of those actors who is pretty good at adding and dropping weight to fill out or slim down for roles. The most drastic and memorable change in the actor's appearance came between The Machinist, where you could count the vertebrae in the man's spine to Batman Begins, where Bale was massively in shape and made a single-arm curl to lift Liam Neeson's dead weight to safety look believable. Bale lost 63 pounds off his natural frame for The Machinist and was in impeccable shape for Begins.

The Fighter, David O. Russell's film about the life of boxer Micky Ward (played in the film by Mark Wahlberg) and his brother Dickie Ecklund, also a fighter who lost to Sugar Ray Leonard on points. In the film, Bale's Ecklund bounces back to boxing to train his brother in the ring after falling into drug addiction.

From the looks of this photo off the Los Angeles set, Bale's thinning hair and gaunt figure would suggest we have entered the drug accict portion of our film.
