I think it's a nearly universal experience that it's easier to learn to read and hear/understand a foreign language than it is to speak it. It's the speaking that's the hardest part, unfortunately, and English is a one of the trickiest languages on the planet, I've always heard. I've encountered plenty of people who have been able to complete study programs and pass exams in English (as a second/foreign language) who weren't able to speak English adequately to work successfully. I don't mean that as a criticism -- I can't
imagine ever being able to speak another language, myself, well enough to be able to study or work in it, and have tremendous admiration for the folks who are able to do so! I just mean that the fact that you didn't pass the IELTS doesn't mean you were cheated or mistreated (which I think is probably what the other poster meant as well). Best wishes for the next time!
