IELTS SPEAKING INTRODUCTION
The IELTS speaking test lasts about 11 to 14 minutes. It has 3 parts, and it’s worth 25%ofyourIELTSscore .
However, the speaking test is very unique because it’s much shorter than the other sections. Specifically, writing test (1 hour), listening test (45 minutes), reading (1 hour), and speaking test (11-14 minutes).
The IELTS speaking test is shorter but it gives you more opportunities to practice more basic skills.
Let’s talk about the three parts of the speaking test.
PART 1 SPEAKING TOPICS
The skills in part 1 speaking are exactly the skills that we need for part 2 and part 3 speaking. So what we need to do in part 1 speaking is we need to focus on building basic skills.
There are two purposes to part 1 speaking. The first purpose is tocalmyoudown . They know that you are nervous, so they’re going to ask you simple questions that get you settle down and prepare for part 2 & part 3 speaking (the more difficult parts). The second purpose of part 1 speaking is of course for you toshowtheexamineryourabilitytospeakEnglish . They want you to calm down and they want you to show the most you can do with your English.
In part 1 speaking, the questions are aboutyou,yourhome,yourlife,yourfamily,oryourcountry , which are things that you have the answer to. They are not asking you questions like “whowantstobeabillionaire?”,“whowas the15thpresidentoftheUnitedStates?”. Normally, in part 1 speaking, they will be giving you 3 topics:
The1sttopic: The first topic will always be “doyouworkordoyoustudy?”or
“whereyouareliving?” If you answer that youareworking , then they will ask you about yourwork . If you answer that youarestudying , then they will ask you about yourstudy .
Thenext2ndand3rdtopics: The next 2nd and 3rd topics can be about anything , but it is not going to be a sensitive topic; they are not going to ask you about politics. Instead, they will ask you something about generaltopicsthatyouhaveideastoanswer . These things might be about rain, for example, howoftendoesitraininyourcountry?Or howdoyoufeelwhenitrains?. They also might ask you questions about movies, colors, hobbies, etc . These are simple questions, they are not challenging questions, but we cannot easily predict what the examiner will be asking you about.
Here is the thing. The examiner doesn’t care about your answer. If they ask you “doyouliketoread?”they don’t care if you say “yes,Ilovereading”or “no,Ihateit”. They don’t care, they want to hear howyoucommunicate.
WHAT WILL GIVE YOU A HIGH SCORE IN THE SPEAKING PART 1?
Rule Number 1: Answer the question . Make sure you answer the question. Forexample:doyouliketoreadbooks? Well, books are really enjoyable. People like to read books because they find itveryrelaxing,andtheycangetalotofinformationfrombooks.Myfatherreallyenjoys reading; and every Friday night, he sits at home with a book and drinkssometea…. Am I answering the question? No,Iamnot. Definitely, the examiner does know that I didnotanswer the question because I chose not to. I didn’t answer the question.
RuleNumber2: you need to show the examiner something or some things about your English ability , and that can be something about your grammar, something about your vocabulary, something about the organization of your answer, and maybe something about your pronunciation.
We must know that IELTS is a game, and a test is a method with rules that allows you to gain points and lose points. Therefore, in order to be successful with any game and IELTS in particular, we need to knowwhattherulesare , and we need to knowhowtogainpoints,notlosepoints .
Example:“Doyouenjoyreading?” Answer1:Yes,Ilovetoread Answer2:Tobehonest,Ihatereading.Ithinkit’sastupidhobby.Ithinkpeoplethatreadareactuallyveryboringandtheyannoymetremendously.
