#Speaking part2
@ieltslearner

Part 2 (Long Turn)

Part 2 of the IELTS Speaking test lasts between 3 and 4 minutes (including 1 minute preparation time). The examiner gives you a task card and you have to speak about the subject without interruption for between 1 and 2 minutes.

Example Task

Example 1) Describe a place you have visited that you have fond memories of.

You should say:

where this was
why you went there
what you did there
and what it was about the place that makes it so memorable.

Example 2) Describe your favourite personal possession.

You should say:

what this possession is
when you first got it
when you use it
and why it's so important to you.

Tips!

1. Use your 1 minute preparation time wisely and make notes of the points you'd like to make.

2. The question will help you with the structure of your talk. The introduction can include the item itself and maybe a brief description. The main body of your talk could describe the situation when you acquired the object and go on to explain when you use it. You can then end with an explanation of why the object is so important.

3. Try to avoid giving a very dry, unimaginative introduction such as 'The object I'm going to describe is ....'. Get your talk off to a memorable start with something on the lines of: 'If I was about to lose everything and could only save one thing it would be my ...', or 'I've got several things that mean a lot to me but the one that really stands out is my ...'

4. If you're concerned about not having enough to talk about for 1 to 2 minutes or running out of time before you've finished, the answer is to practise as often as possible. Time yourself and ask a friend for feedback

Part 3: (Two-Way Discussion)

In Part 3 of the test, which lasts between 3 to 4 minutes, the examiner will ask you questions linked to the topic in Part 2.

Example Questions (Based on example topics in Part 2 above)

Q: It is sometimes argued that local cultures are being destroyed by tourism. Why do think people might feel this?
Q: What benefits do people get from travelling to other countries?
Q: Do you think people are becoming too materialistic?
Q: To what extent are people's buying habits affected by advertising?

Tips!

1. If you need time to collect your thoughts use expressions (sparingly) like: 'That's a good question.', 'Well, let me think ...'.

2. Don't forget to avoid short, 'yes', 'no' answers. Try to offer examples to back up a statement.

3. Help make your contributions memorable. Try explaining a point using a short, personal anecdote.

4. If the examiner asks a question that you don't understand, take control of the situation with questions such as those that appear below. Responding like this will show evidence of your communication skills.

A) If the examiner uses a word or phrase that you don't understand, say something like:
"Sorry but could you explain what you mean by ........" or
"I haven't come across that word/expression before. Could you explain what you mean?"

B) If you simply didn't hear something that was asked, respond with:
"Excuse me, I didn't quite catch that. Could you say that again?"
"I'm sorry, but would you mind repeating that?"

C) If you want to make sure you've understood what the examiner has asked you could say:
"Do you mean ........"
"When you say ........, do you mean/are you asking ........?

#Common Idioms used in the IElTS speaking

Below are some common idioms that I have heard students use correctly in the IELTS speaking test. If you have never heard any of them before, try to find more examples of how they are used and then practice using them when you are practicing speaking. Also, understanding where they originate from can help you remember them.

If you can, have a native speaker or English teacher listen to you and tell you if you are using them correctly.

Most of these are ways to describe something, someone or how you feel. These tend to be easier to use because you can substitute the description you would normally use for the idiom.
@ieltslearner

1)Over the moon– to be extremely pleased or happy.

I was over the moon when I passed my speaking test.

2)Once in a blue moon– happens very rarely.

A student will get a 9 in the IELTS writing test once in a blue moon.

3)A piece of cake– very easy.

Getting a band 6 in the speaking test will be a piece of cake.

4)A drop in the ocean– a very small part of something much bigger.

Just learning idioms is a drop in the ocean when it comes to preparing for the speaking test.

5)Actions speak louder than words– it is better to actually do something than just talk about it.

Lots of people have great business ideas but do nothing about them. Actions speak louder than words, just do it.

6)Back to the drawing board– when you attempted to do something but failed and have to try again.

I got 4.5 in reading! Oh well, back to the drawing board.

7)Put all your eggs in one basket- put all your money or effort into one thing.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. You should apply to lots of different universities.

8)The in thing– something fashionable.

The new iPhone is really the in thing at the moment.

9)The real McCoy– genuine or not fake.

I don’t think her new handbag is the real McCoy.

10)Off the top of my head– saying something without thinking first.

Off the top of my head, I’d say about 2 or 3.

11)Run of the mill– average, ordinary

Apple phones are very run of the mill these days.

12)Soul mate– someone you trust very deeply.

My husband is not just my lover, he’s my soul mate.

@ieltslearner
13)Down in the dumps– sad.

I was really down in the dumps after my dog died.

14)Found my feet– to become comfortable doing something.

Moving to a new city was difficult as first, but I soon found my feet.

15)Set in their ways– not wanting to change.

My parents are quite traditional and set in their ways.

16)Go the extra mile– do much more than is required.

I decided to go the extra mile and move to England to really perfect my English.

17)A hot potato– a controversial topic.

Abortion and capital punishment are hot potatoes in my country at the moment.

18)Miss the boat– miss an opportunity.

I sent my application in late and I think I missed the boat.

19)Costs an arm and a leg– really expensive.

Those shoes must have cost an arm and a leg.

20)Sit on the fence– to be undecided.

I haven’t made my mind up about that issue, I’ll have to sit on the fence.

Difference between skimming and scanning


Skimming and scanning are two different reading skills. Skimming means looking at a text or chapter quickly in order to have a general idea of the contents. Scanning means looking at a text to find some particular information.Aug 14, 2013


2) Skimming is useful when you want to survey a text to get a general idea of what it is about. In skimming you ignore the details and look for the main ideas. Main ideas are usually found in the first sentences of each paragraph and in the first and last paragraphs.
