    SUCCESS STARTS WITH IELTS!

    This refers to your ability to speak at length, including


    organizing ideas logically and appropriately signposting.

    This also refers to your ability to express and justify


    opinions, to analyze, discuss and speculate about issues
    without long pauses or repetition of the same words.

    I have been a
    high school
    What do I am a mathematics teacher
    in New York for over
    you do? teacher. 5 years.

    As you are speaking about a topic, expand &


    build on what you say by adding a few details.

    For part 2 of the test, use the bullet points on the task card
    to help you structure your long turn and make notes in the
    1 minute that’s given using key words.

    In part 3, it is important to develop your answers and to speak at length. You can do this by talking about ...

    I think there
    are a variety
    of reasons for
    this, such as ...

    ... but be sure you are sign posting what you say.

    Here are some examples for Part 3:

    Saying you don’t know about a subject, but sharing what you do know:
    “I’m sorry, I don’t know much about that, but I would probably say . . .”
    “I’m not sure how to answer that but perhaps …”

    sign Creating a pause when you can’t remember a word:


    posting
    “What’s the word I’m looking for?” “It’s the
    thing that . . .” “It’s the person who . . .”

    COMPARE / CONTRAST
    • "in my view, there are two main differences . . ."
    SPECULATING ON THE FUTURE
    • "I think we'll probably see a lot of . . . " RESPONDING TO A POINT
    • "Maybe there'll be more . . . " • "yes, I agree because . . . "
    • "It's unlikely that we will have . . . " • "I'm not sure I agree with that, you see . . . "

    Connecting your ideas effectively is key, but try to practice this using a variety of linking words, rather than the
    same ones again and again. Try to add more words to this list to help improve your range of linking words:

    Not only that... Whereas... Provided that... As a result... This is due to...
    On top of that... In contrast... Because of this...
    Likewise... Consequently...

    It is the key to improving fluency,


    there are no short-cuts.
