How IELTS Speaking works
Speaking is the oral part of the IELTS exam (it is the same for Academic and General Training). It lasts 11–14 minutes and is a one-to-one conversation with an examiner, which is recorded. You are assessed on fluency and coherence, lexical resource, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation.
- Part 1 — Introduction and interview (4–5 minutes): the examiner introduces themselves and asks questions on familiar topics: work or studies, home, family and hobbies.
- Part 2 — Long turn (3–4 minutes): you get a cue card with a topic and three points, prepare for one minute (you can make notes) and speak for up to two minutes. The examiner may then ask one or two short questions.
- Part 3 — Discussion (4–5 minutes): the examiner asks wider, more abstract questions linked to the Part 2 topic, and you give opinions, compare and speculate.
How to use the question generator
Press “Next question” and answer out loud. In the settings you can keep only the part you need (for example Part 2), choose a topic, switch on the timer and turn off repeats. In Part 2 the timer first counts down one minute of preparation and then two minutes of speaking, as in the exam.
How to prepare for Speaking
- In Part 1, answer in two or three sentences: an answer, a reason and an example. Do not memorise speeches; examiners notice.
- In Part 2, use the points on the card as a plan and be sure to answer the final “and explain…”. Try to speak for the full two minutes.
- In Part 3, give opinions with reasons, look at both sides and add examples.
- If you do not know a word, paraphrase: “a thing that you use to…”, “something like…”.
- Record yourself and listen back: you will notice pauses, filler words and pronunciation mistakes.
- Do not be afraid to correct yourself: self-correction is a normal part of natural speech.
Useful phrases for IELTS Speaking
- Giving time to think: “That’s an interesting question…”; “Let me think for a moment…”.
- Giving examples (Parts 1–2): “For instance…”; “A good example of this is when I…”.
