1. Don’t memorize answers; - Memorized language doesn’t give the examiner an accurate measure of your English-language skills.The examiner will be able to tell if you have memorized your answers and this may influence your final band score.
2. Don’t use big and unfamiliar words; - You may want to impress the examiner with big and complex words during your Speaking test, but be safe. Avoid usingwords you are not familiar with, as there is a higher mispronouncing words or using them in the wrong context.
3. Use a range of grammatical structures; - Try and use a range of complex and simple sentences to express what you want to say.
4. Don’t worry about your accent; - With a face-to-face IELTS speaking test, the examiner understands a wide range of accents. This means they will be able to understand what you say, unlike an AI.If you can communicate well in English, then there is nothing to worry about.
5. Pause to think; - There is no harm in taking a brief break to think about what to say. We all occasionally do it to process questions.You can use phrases to give you time to think during the Speaking test, such as “that’s an interesting question” or “that’s a good point”.
6. Avoid using fillers; - Speak confidently and avoid using filler words, such as “um” or “ahh”, etc.We generally use filler words when we don’t know what to say. This may make the examiner think that you can’t access the appropriate language or ideas.
7. Extend your answers; - Try to answer questions fully and extend your answers, don’t wait for the examiner to prompt you with a question.If your answers are short, the examiner may think you cannot discuss a topic in detail. If the examiner asks ‘Why?’ as a follow-up, they are prompting you to extend your answer.
Bonus tip: Avoid using fillers; - Smiling can help you calm your nerves, which in turn helps your pronunciation.
Make sure to enunciate clearly, opening your mouth wideenough so that sounds come out clearly.Using clear enunciation and tone will show the examiner that you can use a range of pronunciation features.
