How can I get an IELTS certificate?
Maria Ortega
You need to register for the IELTS test either from the British council or IDP and then take the test. The IELTS authority will issue you an IELTS certificate after evaluating your test performance and after scoring them. This is the only valid way to get an IELTS Certificate. If anyone says anything other than that, you are surely going to be duped. Be aware of false promises about certificates. they are useless and will cost you dearly!

The provided chart illustrates how Canadians from 15 to 24 years old use the Internet. As can be seen, email communication is the most popular activity while social networks and online shopping are sequentially the second and third preferred.

According to the illustration, 41% of male Canadians mainly use the Intenet for email correspondings, and this figure is 7 percent less than the opposite gender. At the same time, just approximately a quarter of women put social networks as the top priority, while men represent a slightly higher proportion, 28%.

Regarding online shopping and other activities not mentioned, the differences between the two genders are quite similar to those of the previously mentioned purposes. While the percentage of female online shoppers is just under one-fifth, the figure for remaining activities stood at only 9%. The latter is exactly half of the men's proportion and below one-fifth when compared with the popularity of email among Canadian women.
