I have just signed in and am trying to figure out how everything works on this site :-) I must say that I should have signed in sooner but I had been busy reading the book "Insight into IELTS". I am on the "reading module" of the book. It is very helpful and has lots of tips and exercises on how to go about this part of the exam.
There is something that I am not clear about with one of the excersises. When asked to complete a note or a sentence using No More Than Three Words, do we have to use the words from the text? And are numbers considered as words when completing such sentences?
I am going to do my search of the labours of Hercules now and will post my answer soon.
Regards,
Maryam

Welcome, welcome, welcome Maryam! I'm glad to see that you have been studying the "Insight" book and it has given you some help.
Three word answers are usually from the text, unless the instructions say "in your own words". A number is a word in my book. Again read the question carefully and be sure what you are looking for.
Leave the labours* of Hercules, how about the Ancient Seven Wonders of the World? This is because on 7 July 2007 (7 0 07) they are going to announce the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Hmm what are the nominations? Taj Mahal and Stonehenge are two, I know.
Lovely to hear from you!

* I always use British spelling (of course!) IELTS will accept American spelling alternatives, but rejects spelling MISTAKES as such. Accuracy is essential!
