IELTS SPEAKING SECTION

Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

Hello there ..

How’s life today? I hope you are in a best condition as always

In this beautiful occasion, I’d like to share to you all about one of subject that you have to concern in IELTS, what is IELTS? The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the world’s most popular English language proficiency test for higher education and global migration, with over 3 million tests taken in the last year. IELTS has been developed by some of the world’s leading language assessment experts and will test the full range of English skills needed for success in your new job or study placement abroad. You’ll be assessed on some subjects they are: listening, reading, writing and speaking.

But in this chance, the writer wants to discuss about speaking, besides others subject that we have to master it as well (listening, reading and writing). In the speaking section, there are 3 sections.

Ø In Part 1, The examiner will introduce her/his self and ask you to introduce yourself and she/he will ask you about your personal identity.  The examiner will ask you three general questions which is familiar topics. It only needs 4-5 minutes.

The example of questions and how to response about holiday.

Part 1

What kind of holiday do you like?

I try to avoid tourist traps … I like to get away from it all and prefer going somewhere off the beaten track … last year I had the holiday of a lifetime … a two week wildlife safari in Kenya.

What do you like to do when you’re on holiday?

I enjoy visiting the local places of interest … I like to go sightseeing and always sign up for guided tours as it’s a chance to be shown around and take photographs … one of my hobbies.

Do you have many tourists in your country?

Yes … we have a lot of holiday resorts along the coast that are popular with tourists … most people come on package holidays and stay in one of the many hotels and self-catering apartments.

Ø In Part 2, The Examiner will give you a card which will consist of four questions about a topic. Then The Examiner will give you one minute to prepare your idea or to construct your idea. In addition, you will be asked to talk until two minutes.

Part 2

Describe a beautiful place you once visited. You should say:

·     when you went to this place

·     where it was

·     who you went with

and say why you liked it so much.

A few years ago I went on a long weekend to the Lake District in the UK … it’s a very popular holiday destination in the north of England … I went on my own and had a wonderful time … I stayed in a youth hostel and met some really nice people … but the most memorable thing about the holiday were the breathtaking views … and lovely picturesque villages … it can get very busy with hordes of tourists so I decided to go out of season in the autumn  … the weather was fantastic and the shops were full of local crafts … a really great holiday … it’s certainly not the kind of short break for someone looking for a busy nightlife but if you want to relax in the middle of stunning landscape I would certainly recommend a holiday to the Lake District.

Ø In Part 3, The questions in Part 3 will be connected in part 2. They allow you to discuss more abstract issues and ideas. Part 3 is a discussion between you and the examiner. I suggest you to keep talking, make it length because it will increase your score.

Part 3

What do you think has led to the growth in the tourism industry?

It’s much easier and affordable to travel now … nowadays you can get cheap charter-flights or all-in packages … to somewhere near or to a far-off destination.

How do people tend to choose a destination?

The Internet is a great source of information and high street travel agents are still very popular … that’s where I like to go to get holiday brochures for the place I’m interested in.

People sometimes say flying is the most glamorous form of travel. Do you agree?

I’m not so sure really … flying can be quite boring  … queuing up at the check-in desk … going through passport control … sitting for ages in the departure lounge … then the flight itself can be quite uncomfortable … no … I’m not sure I agree.

That’s all I think about what should we concern about speaking subject on IELTS that we have to know. Thanks for visiting my blog here, I hope you’ll be success person in the future and see you on Europe.

Wassalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
