Speaking tips

 THE IELTS SPEAKING TEST

Part 1	4-5 minutes	Introduction and questions on familiar topic areas such as work, study, hobbies, holidays
Part 2	3-4 minutes	You are given the topic and have 1 minutes to prepare with pencil and paper. You then must talk for 2 minutes.
Part 3	4-5 minutes	Two-way discussion on issues related to the topic in part 2

 

• It is best to practice speaking with a friend. 
• Make sure you know how many minutes each part of the test takes. 
• Time yourself - especially for part 2 as you should be able to speak for 2 minutes by yourself.
