Questions may also focus on the culture of your country (educational system, social customs etc) or on aspects of your lifestyle (family life, city life, hobbies etc). Remember, the purpose of the questions is to get you to talk. It is important that you try to give extended answers. The questions on familiar topics will give you a chance to convey a lot of information about yourself and your life, but will also allow you to relax and ‘warm-up’. When you go into the interview room, the interviewer will greet you, exchange introductions, check your identification and then start the interview. Part 1: In the first stage of the interview the examiner will ask you some general questions about yourself and the subjects you know about, for example about your educational background, work experience and leisure interests. To practise for the speaking test, find a friend or study partner and take it in turns to ask one another questions and speak about the following: The important thing is that you should speak and listen, that you should engage in an extended interview with the examiner and that you should enjoy using your English to communicate with an English speaker. Of course you should try to get your English right, but do not worry too much about getting everything absolutely correct. The only way to improve your fluency is by getting a lot of practice in speaking. So the first and most important skill is talking fluently. Second, though it may seem difficult at first, it will actually make the test easier for you if you relax and talk naturally rather than trying to remember a ready-made answer. First, the examiner will notice if you are repeating something you have learned and will stop you. It is important to keep to this for two reasons. The aim of this practice section is to help you to prepare for the type of questions you will get and practise dealing with them without preparing specific answers. You need to be spontaneous, to speak as naturally and fluently as possible. You will not know exactly what the examiner is going to ask or exactly how he or she will ask it. Practice: To get maximum benefit all the practice should be done without preparing your answers. This is to make sure the interviewers and band scores are consistent in all IELTS centres. Throughout the speaking test, the examiners will ask the questions and control the timing and the move from one part to another. If the examiner thinks you are giving a prepared answer he or she will quickly change the question. Your fluency is being assessed so it is important to say as much as you can as well as to speak spontaneously and not to learn what you are going to say. with clear pronunciation) and accurately using appropriate grammar and vocabulary. You are assessed on your ability to communicate fluently, clearly (i.e. the final part is an extension of the part 2 topic to a more abstract discussion of related issues. At the end of your one to two minutes the examiner may ask you one or two questions before moving on to the third part of the test. You are given a card which states what you should talk about and you are given one minute to prepare. this is followed by a part where you are asked to talk on a particular topic for one to two minutes. The interview lasts for eleven to fourteen minutes and is in three main sections: the first part is on familiar topics such as your work or study experience, your family or home culture and your interests or hobbies. It is a test of general speaking skills and is broadly the same for all candidates. The speaking test is an interview which assesses how well you can communicate in spoken English.
