Conquer IELTS - How To Prepare For Speaking

PART 1 : Introduction and interview (4 to 5 minutes)

You are invited to sit down. The examiner checks your ID. The examiner tries to get you to settle down (feel relaxed), asking basic questions about your life, your background, family and so on.

PART 2 : (3 to 4 minutes)

The examiner gives you a card with a topic written on it. You have one minute to think about this topic and prepare what you are going to say. Then you must speak about the topic for one to two minutes. After you finish talking, the examiner could ask some follow-up questions.

PART 3 : (4 to 5 minutes)

The examiner engages you in a discussion about topic that has the same general theme as of Part 2

In Part 2, you have only 1 minute to think about the topic before you start speaking. Then you can speak continuously for between 1 and 2 minutes. You can then spend more time thinking about and preparing how to answer that topic better. After several iteration, your score will go up very quickly.
