How to improve your speaking for IELTS?

In the course of the interview you will be expected to:
- answer the examiner’s questions fully.
- speak at some length on a particular topic.
- express and justify your opinions on a range of topics.
- answer the examiner’s questions fully.
- speak at some length on a particular topic.
- express and justify your opinions on a range of topics.
Helpful tips for Part 1 IELTS Speaking Module
• The examiners want you to show the best of your speaking skills and the test is designed to give you every opportunity to speak, but examiners can only rate what they hear from you. So make sure you speak up and use the time as effectively as possible.
• If the examiner asks you a question which can be answered by ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, try to give some extra information to extend your answer. Yes/No questions in English are often an invitation to say more.
• Make sure you answer the question you are asked. Do not come to the interview with a learned talk.
Helpful tips for Part 2 IELTS Speaking Module
•In Part 2, try to make your talk as interesting as possible. You have a minute to prepare what you are going to say and you can make some notes. Write down some key words or ideas only. Do not write out everything you are going to say.
• Look carefully at the prompt card below:
A city you have visited
Describe a city you have visited which has impressed you. You should say:
- where it is situated
- why you visited it
- what you liked about it
