Question types
- IELTS Speaking Part 1: how to answer, with model answers Twelve questions in four minutes, and the answers should be two or three sentences each. Here is the structure that extends an answer without rambling, plus why memorised answers score nothing.
- IELTS Speaking Part 2: cue card structure and a model answer One minute to prepare, two minutes to talk. The bullet points are not compulsory, writing sentences in the prep minute will cost you fluency, and being cut off at two minutes is a good sign.
- IELTS Speaking Part 3: how to answer abstract questions Part 3 asks about society, not about you. Answers run 30 to 60 seconds, examples should be general rather than personal, and the examiner is allowed to argue back.
- IELTS Speaking topics: prepare five stories, not fifty answers Every cue card you will ever meet fits about five categories. Prepare one story for each, learn to pivot out loud, and stop memorising answers that score nothing.
Scoring
- How IELTS Speaking is scored: the four criteria explained IELTS Speaking is marked on fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation — each worth a quarter. What examiners reward, and what candidates get wrong.
- IELTS Speaking vocabulary: idiomatic means phrasal verbs, not proverbs Band 7 asks for less common and idiomatic vocabulary. That means precise everyday words and natural phrasal verbs — not rare nouns, and not raining cats and dogs.
