hi I'm Jessica Beck from all ears English and the podcast IELTS energy and
today I'm going to share with you three ways you can impress the examiner and
raise your speaking scores in IELTS speaking part one alright so first of
all the first thing to do when the examiner asks you a question is to smile
and answer immediately alright if the examiner asks you a
question and you come back with silence or you've come back with your fluency
incoherent scores drop immediately so instead you can use the phrases
well actually or well hmm those those are much better than saying uh-uh
alright so when the examiner asks you a question you you have to start talking
right away alright so use native speaker ways to do
that and that brings me to my second point do not use the filler phrases that
are taught to you by a lot of teachers so um a lot of teachers and I've seen
this online I've seen it in the classroom they teach you to say well
that's a tough question or hmm that's an interesting question you can
say these in speaking part 3 for sure speaking part 3 you can use those
phrases but speaking part 1 no no they don't make sense I promise you that the
questions in speaking part 1 are not interesting nor are they tough so those
filler phrases are not appropriate they don't make sense and if you use them
you're speaking score goes down it does it goes down because your fluency and
coherence score is impacted if you're not using
appropriate words right so for example in speaking part 1 the examiner might
ask you did you enjoy the last book that you read if you say hmm that's a tough
question no it's not like either either you liked it or you didn't like it it's
not a tough question if the examiner says is there public transport available
in your city if you say that's an interesting question
no it's not it's not an interesting question so be careful with those
phrases make sure they're appropriate and they're not appropriate and speaking
part one they will lower your score all right so the third strategy is to start
answering immediately of course like we said in the first point with the native
speaker type phrases like hmm well actually all right that's that's the
filler phrase that you can use but after that you have to give personal very
specific details right away okay and that is the best strategy that you can
go to in all of the speaking test okay so if the examiner says what Pat what
public transport is available in your city then you need to start addressing
that directly right away and specifically so for example you could
say hmm yeah well actually um I live in Portland Oregon and we have the max it's
it's the public train that everyone takes it's like the tube but it's not
underground its above-ground and I don't actually live next to a Mack stop but I
can ride my bike to a next stop a Mack stop it within like two minutes so it's
very convenient and available not only to me but to everyone throughout the
whole city all right see right away I started giving very specific details
about the Train and how it relates to my life okay so that's the best strategy
that you can do because it raises your fluency and coherence scores and it
so raises your vocabulary scores and your pronunciation scores okay talking
about things that are that are present in your mind that are personal and that
you know well all of these all of these reasons are why it increases your IELTS
scores because it impacts your speech and helps you to speak more fluently and
naturally because you're talking about something you know alright so those are
the best strategies for raising your score and impressing the examiner in
speaking part one for more tips and tricks on how to increase your score on
