Score Description Understanding what scores mean helps you maximize your probability of success by trying to fit the description of your desired score. IELTS examiners are given a table which contains a detailed description of requirements for every score in the four areas mentioned earlier.
However, these descriptions are incomprehensible to the layman because of the use of jargon. The table on the following page is the simplified version of the table used by IELTS examiners to mark your speaking. e ope Introduction Fluency and "=: Ae anid wal to prodocs Able to produce lang Able to produce long long responses to most responses easily responses that are directly Coherence questions Produces a wide range of relevant to the topic easily « Produces a range of linking words/phrases.

Every section has an introduction of its own, giving useful information about the test and how each part of the book could help you prepare yourself for the exam. The three sections of the book consist of a number of units that include a number of frequently asked questions and model answers to them. The target words and expressions of every unit are boldfaced and their definitions have been provided at the end of each unil. If they are repeated in other parts of the book, they are again printed in bold; however, their meaning is provided in a “Review” part, which can be found at the end of most units.
Moreover, all words and phrases that are not among the target words and expressions but might be unfamiliar to an average IELTS leamer have been defined. At the end of the book, useful linking words/phrases, fillers, vague expressions, etc. could be found. Instead of attempting to memorize the model answers, try to learn the words, expressions, idioms, collocations, etc.
Make sure to personalize the answers and make them longer by adding more information, examples, and so on. The ideas in this book do not necessarily reflect the personal views of the authors. veg Introduction PA9006050909996000%0090900990900%99909909999090909959990009%999900 0966065 esesons, vese recesses Introduction ee nea ccsnecconeceee Part One: Primary Topics = Unit 1: Job and Studies = Unit 2: Where You Live = Unit 3: Your Taste = Unit 4: Family and Friends = Unit 5: Sports = Unit 6: Miscellaneous Part Two: Secondary Topics eee naa ¬—_ÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÓ REMSPSRENINCUITMIMATNG SECTION 1 Introduction The number of questions asked in section one of the speaking test varies for each candidate, but generally you are asked between 6 and 15 questions on 3 familiar topics. This means the minimum number of questions for each topic is 2 and the maximum 5.
Those who give longer responses are asked fewer questions. Initially, the examiner introduces himself/herself and asks your name. In this part, you do not have to provide a long answer since the test has not begun yet. All you need to do is say your first, (middle), and last name and give the examiner your passport or national ID card to confirm your identity.
The test begins when you hear this sentence: “tn this first part, | would like to ask you some questions about yourself.” As a general rule, IELTS examiners start the test with either your jab/studies or where you live. The first topic is followed by two more topics, which the examiner chooses. The list of the possible topics in section one is quite tong and every year, more topics are added. However, a number of them are frequently recycled.
This section falls into two parts: A) Primary topics: possible questions and model answers for the topics that are used frequently B) Secondary topics: possible questions for many topics that are not used as regularly as the ones in the first part In the first part, some possible answers have been supplied for the vast majority of questions so that candidates can choose the ones which suit them best. Clearly, if the possible answers offered by the book are not contradictory, some (not all) of them can be combined to generate longer and more complex answers. In the second part, the questions have not been responded as you need to be able to answer questions you have not heard before. It is highly recommended that before you attempt to answer the questions supplied in this part, sections two and three of the book be studied because reading those two sections will surely promote your competence and performance.
