IELTS SPEAKING

🗣️ IELTS Speaking Test

The IELTS Speaking Test evaluates your ability to communicate verbally in English. It is a face-to-face interview conducted by a certified examiner and is the same for both the Academic and General Training versions of the exam.

🕒 Duration: 11–14 minutes
The test is divided into three parts, each designed to assess different aspects of spoken English..

Part 1: Introduction & Interview (4–5 minutes)

In Part 1, the examiner will ask the candidate some general questions about themselves, their work, studies, interests, hobbies, and so on. This part is designed to put the candidate at ease and help them warm up to the conversation. The questions are usually simple and straightforward and the candidate is expected to give short, direct answers.

Part 2:Long Turn (3–4 minutes total)

In Part 2, the candidate will be given a topic card with a task to speak about for 2 minutes. The candidate will have 1 minute to prepare their talk and can make notes if they wish. The task on the card can be a personal experience, an opinion on a general issue, a description of a person, place, object or event, or any other related topic. The candidate should try to speak fluently, coherently, and confidently, and include details and examples to support their ideas.
