Speaking tips for IELTS I

Speaking tips for IELTS I

1. Observe the question: the tense, size and the tone. Answer in the same tense.
Eg. Where did you work last? I worked at…
What are you going to do next?
My plan is to…. I want to do…. I am planning to….
2. Understand the question thoroughly before answering it.
3. Take the question as your answer, with a positive or negative attitude.
For eg. Entertainment has become an industry. Why is it so?
Well, it is a fact that entertainment is a huge industry now.
There are many reasons. Firstly, secondly, thirdly.
Does this industry do any harm to the society?
Yes, it does. It spoils the importance of traditional ones.
4. Never forget the question till you complete the answer. It is important to close the answer with a reference to the question.
5. Do not parade points to make your answer get weightage.
6. Only one point is enough to convince the examiner that you know English.
7. a point convincingly presented is better than ten points paraded with not room for application of your language.
8. It is a language testing system. Concentrate on your language.
9. Since it is a one to one meet, be pleasant and forward looking. Speak to the speaker. Do not reproduce answers. Have your say.
10. Complement, acknowledge, smile and even agree to disagree in good language.
11. If you do not know much about a question. Say that. Sorry, I do know much about this question. I don’t think I will be able to completely answer the question. I am going to tell you what I know about it.
12. please try to get an acceptable pronunciation, that is the listener has to understand you. Do not try to imitate pronunciation. You may have your won pronunciation, a consistent one.

Other tips on problems with language will follow. Good luck.
