IELTS Speaking Test Tips

Part 2, known as the “long-turn” in the IELTS speaking test is not easy, because you have to speak on your own about the topic which is presented to you for 1-2 minutes with very little time to prepare.

The short video below gives you some useful tips on how to organise your answer.

It’s really important to use your 1-min preparation time to note down as many key words related to the topic as you can, because you can use them as prompts to help you to keep talking for up to 2 minutes

You might also want to use the preparation time to ask yourself additional questions that are not on the task card. That way, you won’t run out of things to say.

Remember that your mini speech should be personal, interesting, relevant and above all natural, just as if you were telling an anecdote to a friend grin

​I was stuck at a band 6.5 in IELTS writing until I found iPass. Because you do not get any feedback from the IELTS test, it is very informative and useful to get that from someone who knows what examiners are looking for and expecting from you. The iPass tutors showed how the test is evaluated and corrected my texts accordingly. They also pointed out the good parts and made suggestions for improving my writing. Besides, the feedback came quickly, usually in two days. After doing the IELTS Writing Plus course I achieved my goal!
