Preparation course for IELTS

Since I moved from home, I am trying to start life anew here in Brasilia. Today I went to look for a gym, because I need to exercise again. I really enjoyed the gym, but I think it's too expensive. So, I decided to look for 'smart fit', (a very popular gym in Brazil). I thought it was far from my house, but it is 15 minutes away, on foot, the same amount of time from the expensive one (gym). I haven't decided yet, but I think I will choose the cheaper one. Afterwards, I took the subway, and a bus to get to UNB, (a public university in Brasilia). I had booked an English placement test so I could study at UNB idiomas, where the course is much more affordable. They have beginner, intermediate and advanced. I think it takes 12 terms to finish the whole course there (unless you take summer classes or winter classes). I really want to take the IETLS, hence I needed to be placed after advanced 3. Firstly, I wrote a test that consisted of 60 questions. It was about filling in the blank spaces or choose the correct option. It wasn't so difficult. It also had an essay. People who want to take the IETLS course should write about the main issue in their field. I wrote about public relations. I thought my essay was terrible, and I would get a bad grade. After that, it was time for an oral test. The teacher was really nice to me. She asked about my professional and personal life while she was marking my written test. She also asked why I wanted to study English, and I told her I was very excited about doing the IELTS and I needed to do the preparation course there. I also said: "I don't know if my English is good enough for this". She told me that my English is okay and I would be able to join that class. When she wrote on the paper "TOEFL/IELTS" I became extremely satisfied. I actually don't know if I deserved that grade (it was 8.5, I don't really remember the exact score). The next step will be to do my enrollment tomorrow (I hope there are still vacancies for this class). The class will start in April, and it continues until August. I reckon after that I can take the IELTS and get a good overall score.
I will target the score 7 or higher!
