Now the IELTS of course the speaking section of the IELTS test is about 11 or 14 minutes long has three different sections and so on And the IELTS is an exam which is a Its an English proficiency exam Its used for immigration purposes for example to Canada and Australia Its used for admission to universities where English is the medium of instruction and its also used for professional certification purposes So lots and lots of people millions of people do the IELTS exam And if youre one of them these speaking tips will really help you Theyre general tips theyre not about the specific sections They apply to all sections of the speaking test Okay Lets get started

So the first point is during your speaking test be formal By that I mean treat it like a job interview And just as in a job interview youll be on your best behaviour and so on behave that way Dont take it very casually Okay Take it seriously and be formal

Next give a full answer whenever possible Now remember and just think about it you have about 11 to 15 minutes to use the best English that you know and that youve studied all your life Okay So obviously you want to try to show off during your English test So when I say give a full answer I mean in the first section when they ask you some questions about you about your family about your background if they say for example Where are you from Dont just say Tokyo because thats just a one word answer Try as much as possible to give sentences Give full sentences All right Full answer So that you can show when you use the full sentence that you know grammar you know vocabulary and all these other things So instead of just saying Tokyo Say Im from Tokyo the capital of Japan Or Im from the capital of Japan Tokyo Now youve given a lot more information So obviously you get much more marks if you kept doing that throughout Right Give full answers using sentences not just words

Next be polite What we mean by that for example if the examiner asks you something and you didnt understand its okay Just ask for the explanation in a polite way Dont just say What Or Sorry Say Excuse me Could you please repeat that Because thats also using English and thats what they want to know can you use English And by being polite youre not just showing that you know the language but also that you know the culture of the language which is being polite Okay So remember to do that

Next maintain good posture Why do I put that Nobodys filming you Right So why do you have to maintain good posture Because your posture actually affects your The way you speak It affects your confidence the confidence with which you speak it affects the way your voice is projected So you want to make sure that you dont for example lean on your hand when youre speaking or anything like that Okay Make sure that you sit straight and dont put your hand anywhere near your face even if youre nervous because that will affect the quality of your voice and the way its projected Okay

Next Number five speak clearly Now what I mean by this is dont worry too much about your accent Everyone has an accent and as long as you do your best to enunciate the words clearly thats all you can do If you need to improve your pronunciation work on that before your exam If there are some very specific pronunciation errors that you tend to make or that people from your country tend to make then obviously work on those beforehand For example if you are a Spanish speaker and you say Jess instead of Yes then thats a big mistake that you want to correct well before you come to the exam So work on those pronunciation issues before and then afterwards dont worry about your accent just speak as clearly as you can Okay
