if there's one test that i feel the most
stressed about is
speaking part hi everyone my name is
sridhan and in today's lesson we are
going to be talking about ielts speaking
test
yes you heard it right
speaking part is one such part where
people fumble a lot people get nervous a
lot and people start to feel quite uh
quite underconfident the moment they
enter the room of the examiner in
today's lesson we're going to be talking
about first this is part one of speaking
test in this lesson we're going to be
talking about first how to how to
understand the structure and what
speaking test is all about and in the
second part we're going to be talking
about the tips and tricks of the
speaking test let's get started with
this one the first thing that i have for
you is the duration of the speaking test
the speaking test basically lasts for 11
to
14 minutes in total
from the moment you enter
into the examiner's room to the moment
you come out of the room it takes about
11 to 14 minutes but what we also need
to remember is we don't have to worry
about this time duration it will take
whatever time it has to it is just for
the examiners to note that it shouldn't
kind of um elevate from uh
15 minutes in total basically so just
for our basic understanding the total
duration of the speaking test is 11 to
14 minutes
let's come to the next part the next
part is number of parts there are a
total of three parts on the ielts exam
part one part two part three in a little
while we will understand what is part
one two and three are all about
but
the basic information is there are how
many parts
three parts in total absolutely let us
now start talking about
these three parts basically what each of
these three parts are about in detail
the first part
is called the introduction part what is
it called it's called the introduction
part i will just write it for you here
in the introduction part
you come into the room and the examiner
starts to starts to question you
about your personal life don't think
about the number of time one gets
divorced and
personal questions not those kinds of
questions basic personal questions where
you are from what do you do what are
your hobbies what are your future plans
these are the various different kinds of
questions that appear on part one uh of
the introduction uh part one which is
the introduction of the speaking test in
this the examiner basically asks
repetitive questions these questions are
about what your name is
uh i'll just write it for you here
these questions are most of the time
same they they are about your name
they are about your
family
they are about the job
or study that you do
or what you study
they are also about your hobbies
and finally these questions can also be
about
about your future aspirations so these
are most of the times repetitive
and you must prepare the answers of
these questions already before entering
the room
not scripted but at least you should
know what you're going to be talking
about if the person asks you a question
on these basic five pointers in the
introduction part one let's move on to
part two part two has a lot of names but
let me simplify it to you it is
basically called the topic card round
what is it called
topic card or cue card so there's a card
there's a card there's a piece of paper
the examiner gives that piece of paper
to you
when that examiner gives that piece of
paper it has one question on it and it
has a couple of cues as well cues made
certain points that you have to talk
about you have to keep in mind that
those topic that topic card is basically
what that entire speaking test is
speaking part two is about is about
basically in that part you have to speak
on that topic for a minimum duration of
two minutes
we need to understand something very
important here
why does the examiner or ielts
want us to speak for two minutes it has
a very important purpose imagine if you
are if if if if in your mother tongue
you want to you want to take somebody's
test do you do you think that the person
speaks better language if the person
speaks
less of that language or would you have
better judgment of person's fluency if
the person speaks more
of course you will give more marks to
the person you have you will think that
the person knows language more if the
person speaks more and that is what this
uh this part of speaking test will test
the test wants you as a candidate
candidate to speak as much as possible
to make use of as many vocabulary as you
have um as as as many words that you
have to make use of clear pronunciation
and most importantly forgetting all the
rules just being fluent because because
it is not just about grammar it is also
about fluency are you able to
communicate your ideas this is what part
two basically checks on the ielts test
please make sure that you speak for a
minimum of two minutes
before in the ielts speaking part two a
lot of people say i do not have the
watch so how do i get to know if two
minutes are over don't worry about it
continue speaking there is going to be a
stop watch if the watch is visible where
anyway it's going to be visible but if
it's not visible the examiner and if
you've spoken enough the examiner will
stop you automatically and if the
examiner stops you automatically that is
a good sign that means you have spoken
enough to the standards of the examiner
and ielts and they want to continue the
conversation the interview by asking you
a couple of more questions
one very important thing that we need to
remember is it is not a upsc or any
competitive exam it is
an exam that tests not your general
knowledge but your knowledge of english
language especially speaking it is
nothing about your content knowledge or
knowledge of a particular subject it is
about can you speak english and if you
can speak english fluently without any
fears and confidence you automatically
get a better band on the exam so make
sure that you keep in mind that rules
are not everything above rule rules come
fluency so make sure that you keep that
in mind
so part two is about topic card you get
a topic for the for this you have to
speak for for a minimum duration of two
minutes another thing very important
thing that you have to keep in mind is
you get preparation time in topic uh
card round the preparation time
prep time
is
one minute
please make sure that you utilize this
one minute basically to prepare better
for the ielts speaking part two a lot of
people write start writing a script but
look at it look at it this way can you
write a complete script in in just one
minute for something that you have to
speak on for two minutes
nobody can unless you're a chitty or a
robot from any other film so make sure
that you utilize this time and write
just the keywords that you want to speak
about talk about so make sure that you
you that you do that correctly
let's move on to part three part three
is called the discussion round what is
it called
it is called
the
discussion
round
in part three the examiner asks you one
two or three questions that are that are
related to part one for example if uh in
part one the topic was uh
traffic jam so the person the examiner
will ask you questions that are related
to part two that are related to the
topic that are related to traffic jam so
you do not have to worry about
basically what will come in that because
at least you know the context if the
context is traffic jam the person will
ask you questions related to traffic jam
only another very important thing that
we can keep in mind here is
again my content knowledge is not
checked if you do not know the answer
just say i do not know the answer uh you
although there is uh language exponents
and components that are used in that so
we'll have a lesson on that as well for
you to understand how to answer
questions like that but
important point to here is in part three
discussion round you have to speak again
as much as possible it's not content
knowledge but it's about speaking
whatever you know about it basically
having a one-to-one conversation for
example is this lesson scripted that i'm
teaching it is not scripted i'm just
talking about the basic ideas my
understanding of a particular subject
and that is what you have to do as well
you have to talk about your basic
understanding of that particular subject
whatever you know and those questions
are quite personalized as well it's not
about um it's not about
what are the traffic rules uh in
in the uk it's not about that it is
about uh uh what is your opinion of the
traffic jams uh that are that are
growing
on roads these days so these are
personalized questions all you have to
do is speak from your experience
let's recapitulate what we did in this
lesson the duration of speaking test is
14 11 to 14 minutes number of parts are
three part one is about introduction you
will be asked questions on these
pointers most of the times people are
asked questions on these pointers you
can prepare your answers accordingly
in part two it is called topic card you
will be given a topic you will have one
minute to prepare and you will have two
minutes to speak on that topic and
finally in part three it is called the
discussion round in this discussion
round you will have uh you will have a
one-to-one discussion with the examiner
you will get into a conversation and you
will ask and answer questions
this was all about ielts speaking part
