I got a 9 for speaking. All I did just before the exam was listen to interviews with some popular British artists. So I just went into the room and pretended I was an English-speaking artist as well doing an interview. Hope it helps.
@@joeibrahim336 Coherence and cohesion almost have nothing to do with the quality of the ideas, it measures how well you structure a sentence to ease the understanding (coherence) and how well you link one sentence to another to represent one big idea you about to deliver (cohesion). Therefore, even if you comes up with poor ideas but the way you wrap and deliver the messages is well-structured then you will still likely get two thumbs up from the eximiner.
Honey Layla it seems went ok.but I’m not sure until I get my results.only thing u can do is keep practicing and don’t be stressed.if u stress u will perform bad
I gave my Ielts speaking today on 10/01/2019 by IDP. Topics - Hometown, Current city Types of paintings you like Parks Money as a gift - have you ever received it or given to someone And more talks on money and young children. Whether parents should teach them to save or not. Hope this helps. Thanks and all the best.

I got my results today, I’m surprised I got 8.5 in speaking I took the test last Saturday. The part 2 speaking topic was to talk about someone that lied to me, why they lied and how did I take it. Though I have come across this situation most part of my life I couldn’t think of one legit incident to talk about in that 1 minute of torture. So I lied about lying. My speech for the next 2 minutes sounded not-so-intelligent with poor lying qualities, honestly. I did make some “uh”s and “um”s as I myself couldn’t appreciate how lame I my answers were. My advise is, Lie in the interview if you couldn’t relate to the topic, yea yea just for the exam Exaggerate like it really happened If you do not understand you could tell them that you didn’t hear them correctly and request to repeat their question. Be natural and spontaneous, even if you are good at mugging up sophisticated words to use you might not really be able to use it (unless you’re a genius! I am not) It is just a conversation, never panic. Drink some water before you go, because I didn’t and I skipped a word or two because of dry mouth.
Hey guys. I recently wrote my exams.(2nd of march). These are the questions that they asked me. *Listening test.* Section 1: Conversation with a mom to register her son for swimming. The question was form filling. Section 2: A manager giving new employees details of the store layout and what makes the store special. Section 3: A group of students who were discussing their art portfolios. Section 4 : A speech on the language and literature in Australia. *Reading test* Passage 1: A place called 'Elche' and it's famous due to its massive date palm plantations and the role it plays in the research of date palms. Passage 2: The cultures of West Africa. Passage 3: The down sides of multitasking. *Writing test* Task 1 They gave a table. The columns represented the domestic sector, industrial sector and the agriculture sector. Then they showed us how 6 different countries use their water according to the sectors. E.g. Australia uses 65% of water for domestic, 7% for industrial and 28% for agricultural sectors. Task 2 Many directors and leaders are older people at organisations. Many people believe that it is better for a younger person to be a leader. How far do you agree or disagree. *Speaking test* Part 1 Are you currently working or studying? Where do you study? Do you like the school you study at? What would you like to improve about your school? What forms of art do you like? Why do like these forms of art? Do you own any pieces of art? Do you have any form of education in art? Part 2 Describe a part of your country that you find interesting. Q1. Where is this place located Q2. How you got to know about this place. Q3. What is special about this place. Q4. Your feelings about this place. 1 minute preparation time. 1-2 minutes speaking time. Part 3 Do you like this part of the country that you find interesting? Do you believe that there are differences between the areas in a country? Do you prefer the countryside or the urban areas? Why? Do you think that there can be competition between 2 areas of a country as to where people choose to live? Is this competition good? Do you think such competition happens between schools as well? "Then she was like let's talk about town planning" Do you think urban cities are planned carefully? Do you think they can be planned better? Do you think too much planning make a town boring to live in?
bruh I dunno you , But already LUV you son. Thank you. why are these people.. so competitive asking all the time, for the score... majority of replies around here it is ..what was your score... anyways thanks again mate.
I had my test today 27/07/2019 1 was asked about the following Part 1 1. Area where I stay? 2. Do you like that area? 3. What's the one thing that you want to change in your area? Part 2 A flash card was given with the topic "Talk about a party that you have attended" A) where wast it B) What did you do C) What did you like the most in the party Part 3 (Usually related to part 2 question) What are the popular festivals in your country Is it a good thought to introduce tourism in your country during the major festivals. How would you feel if you ever were to represent your country on an international platform Is it a good idea to host international competitions in your country Do you think it's worth spending money on hosting such international competitions (like Olympics)
Hi please add me thru messenger nadia german umpad i want your help idea regarding exam of ielts.not add fb messenger on because my fb was diactivate thanks alot
You guys are really helping me a lot to get through ielts speaking and writing, two parts of the exam i'm worried about. Your lectures and answers are simple and to the point. Thank you
I feel nervous even though i haven't taken the exam yet but the more i listen to the practice tests i find i feel more relaxed and actually excited about it. Thank you, they are a great help.
I have the vocabulary and all since I have been speaking English since I was a toddler but I have a slight speech disorder (stutter) and the funny thing is people around me tell me they hardly notice it. I just hope I can do well and the Ielts examiner wont notice too.
They doing q & a each other seem so not natural things. First, Their's react speed so fast than nomal stdudents Second and lastly, i can feel they couldn't had do imitate nomal student that's what they r native
What can I say? Thank you for this video... I'll have my Ielts test in 3 more days.... I'm not nervous, I'm anxious to take the test jajaja, greetings from Chile
Your videos are too perfect. It's extremely difficult for not a native-speaker to be always relevant and not off the topic, especially if you get strange questions on the exam. If I ask you to tell me about new changes in anti-money laundering legislation, you would probably not be able to open your mouth and say a word even if you're a native speaker. I believe this test should be more honest for those money that British council rips people off! I mean, if this is the exam, then give topics to prepare. In real test you actually can't control yourself how many linking words you use and care less of pronunciation because you're preoccupied about the sentence structure and thinking of what to answer! Those videos are discouraging since they make an impression that English is everything and you have to give all your things up in order only to pass this test. I'm afraid, mastering one's English to the native level may take years if you don't live in England, of course. Otherwise, you'll never be able to pass through the paws of any IELTS examiner with a high score! That is what I think. Again, they ask for a lot of money and make it diffiuclt to people to pass it. In one of the videos they said 'bring the highlighter on a reading test and take your clock with you', while on the exam I had to take those thngs away to the examiners.
100% agree, that wasn't a speaking test, it was a scripted pronunciation exercise, In fact, it looks like he is reading or at least just remembering the script. It would be helpful if they explained some key words to use, etc. Hearing a script is not very useful because they will ask you other things.
Absolutely true. IELTS is being more on testing mental abilities ( concentration , speed , memory..etc) than testing the language ability itself.. it's being a test for the elites only..not just in language, but in mental abilities (in order to have top score) And they certainly are happy with the enormous amount of money they collect from candidates. The whole test should be redesigned.
I agree. I think IELTS is hardly a language test these days, it's now more of an Intelligence test. You should be able to test people's proficiency of English with regular questions. The reading and listening are mostly mental drills.
I’m Chinese from mainland of China. I would say if we are all aware of topics that we would have on our speaking test of IELTS in advance. Then every single Chinese can easily be well-prepared and hit a good score. They can recite pretty well. But if you put them in a class of any university in an English speaking country. They wouldn’t be able to understand the speech of what a professor in front of them makes. Their English is just not there yet which is definitely the opposite of their performance on IELTS. They are very good exam takers and cheaters who hit high score on IELTS. In here we have a lot of profit-making training centers provide intensive courses that only teach students how to deceive examiners to hit a minimum score of 6.5 on IELTS to get themselves qualified studying in a University for bachelor course in an English speaking country.
This video is great. The tips are helpful. Although it's quite difficult to use phrases and vocabulary like native speakers do, I'll try my best to use those in the real exam which is tomorrow. Had scored band 7 in my previous but would like to raise that score. Wish me luck!
All the videos from Oxford online English are so useful and fascinating, although my English is not so good, but i really like to follow, to listen to and i can understand what you said from a little bit to more day by day. I love the way you use English, it's fluent, clear and coherent. Hope that I could learn more from listening OOE to improve my English, especially speaking skill. Thanks so much.
I did the IELTS speaking test one year ago and i scored band 6 on speaking,I think the most important thing is to practice the exam as if you are actually on the exam,because you will feel nervous during the exam so you have to practice.Also you have the to collect ideas about as many topics as you can .In part2 i spoke a little bite and then i did not know what to say
I got 7 in speaking without any preparation. I should have slowed down a bit to allow more time for using better sentence patterns. For migration purpose, I aim at an 8. Will take the exam later.
it's actually really frustrating when you come out of the speaking exam room (which in term is another frustrating thing because its so tiny like an interrogative room between a police and a thief) and then things come to your head automatically that you think you could have added when you were in the room. Please tell me this is relatable (just so that my mind becomes ease for no reason). :) :( AND ALSO THE VIDEO WAS AMAZING :P
I think this is true in many situations, even for native speakers! It's difficult to say everything you want to say in the perfect way, in any spoken situation. The best thing you can do is just know you did your best at that time!
Hi Maria, thanks for watching our lesson and sharing your comment! It's important to remember that each teacher is filming their part of your lesson from different parts of the world! They are not even in the same room! Therefore, when editing the video, it can be difficult to put each person's line of sight directly lined up to the other. Glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Recently one of my friend did speaking test her questions were Part 1 : U are student or working? Why your job is interesting? What makes u stress in your job? What u do to decrease your stress? People can handle more than 2 works at one time? Part 2 Describe a day that is memorable for you? Which day? What happened? Why it is memorable? Part 3 Why people have childhood memories? Which one is good to keep photos or videos as memory? How many languages u can speak? Which language u r interested to learn if get chance? What can people do to increase memory? All people have same learning skills? Please pray for her result
Going directly to band 9 might be too much to do in one step! Break your studies into smaller chunks and set clear goals at each stage. This video might help you: ua-cam.com/video/R09soFP3Qgk/v-deo.html
Hey Saif, focus on getting from 0 to 10 then 10 to 20..etc, Don't focus on getting from 0 to 100 in a single moment, this is how you can speak like them, or maybe accomplish anything u want in your life, good luck
I think the best tip to get a high band score is to be conscious about your speaking. And you don't become speaking-conscious with a few weeks of studying an Ielts course. Rather, you develop it through years of practices. I don't have intention to discourage anyone but take my words: You need more than just the knowledge of English to get band 9 score.
I did not have anyone to speak to so I used an Alexa skill to practice IELTS speaking test. I did not have the device, I downloaded the app. Got 7.5 bands😎
I just did the test. they first greeted me asking about my home town . then asking me about howmuch I like the place I live at and why. what changes you woukd like to see in the area? what you like and dislije the most about it?Then in 2 minutes style question he was asking about my Grand Parent's job (2min talk). Then asking me if I talk about it to other people and why...if I agree or liked what he was doing. then asking me if robots going to replace human in the future? is it inevitable? how? do you think challenges are important for life and why you think that way? if I like my photos to be taken. what I like to taje a photo from and why? do I prefer cellphone or camera?
I'm from @SOMALIA🇸🇴 thank you firstly for your making extremely useful lessons for us as learners, and secondly I'm on my way to get this exam soon and i hope that i will come up with high score because of your efforts n encouragement and reaching us very useful lessons thank you again our online teachers.
@@tahashokouhi3229 Hello Taha, getting 8.5 is a great deal. I really respect your hard work in achieving such a great feat. Appreciate if you could share some hacks for aspirants like us. It would be of great help. In case if you have taken any notes, please would you be able to share it? I can share my email. Awaiting your response.
Thank you Oxford Online English for publishing this video. It's extremely helpful. I'm going to take IELTS exam soon. This really help me. Thanks again... (from Thailand).
Excellent. Thanks Stephanie and Oli for your wonderful support. I'm planning to do the IELTS at the end of this year and believe that this video will help me a lot. i need overall 8-8.5 to do the CELTA at a centre in the UK.
These IELTS examiners don't even say "good" or "right" or nod heads. They just sit still and don't even appreciate what I just said as an answer but jump to next question as soon as I finish without a feedback. Makes me real anxious
For me, even if the question was made on my mother language, I would struggle... "What is the most difficult thing you learned in your life?" What kind of question is that??
I feel like this sample was really informal... I always thought that the more formal was your speech the better was for your score. But apparently if you can use words like "stuff" or "weird" you can still score above 8. Great! I was really worried about it.

6:46 "Your score depends on your ability to communicate, not your ideas and knowledge." Best tip IMO
If it's like that, so why is there 25% of the mark on cohesion and coherence

@@joeibrahim336 can you explain me what's cohesion and coherence?
@@ammarkhan6883 Connecting or relates to things that you are talking.

Exaggerate like it really happened
If you do not understand you could tell them that you didn’t hear them correctly and request to repeat their question.

Hello are you also doing ielts?
That was amazing. One of my problems during the speaking test was forgetting the words. Special words that could make my number higher
I feel nervous even though i haven't taken the exam yet but the more i listen to the practice tests i find i feel more relaxed and actually excited about it. Thank you, they are a great help.
I have the vocabulary and all since I have been speaking English since I was a toddler but I have a slight speech disorder (stutter) and the funny thing is people around me tell me they hardly notice it. I just hope I can do well and the Ielts examiner wont notice too.
These things are often bigger in our own minds than they are to others. Good luck!
sooo natural. casual conversation indeed
why are the ielts examiners are weird? they give this weird robotic smiles and head shake. how am i supposed to feel comfortable around that?
It's god for student satisfaction
Creepy people they are👅
never mind dude,,their aim is to check the students' language level
It's their job to be robotic
They doing q & a each other seem so not natural things. First, Their's react speed so fast than nomal stdudents
Second and lastly, i can feel they couldn't had do imitate nomal student that's what they r native

ankita19871 if i would get 7,8, 7,7 in my speaking, listening , reading and writing. I would be the happiest person on earth.
All the videos from Oxford online English are so useful and fascinating, although my English is not so good, but i really like to follow, to listen to and i can understand what you said from a little bit to more day by day. I love the way you use English, it's fluent, clear and coherent. Hope that I could learn more from listening OOE to improve my English, especially speaking skill. Thanks so much.
Thank you for watching, Anh! We're happy the lessons help you!
You know my big purpose to get 9.0 band from speaking test of course
Plz make more videos like this it is really helpful
Thanks, Rajinder! We have other IELTS Speaking lessons. Have you seen them yet? www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/?s=ielts+speaking

I did the IELTS speaking test one year ago and i scored band 6 on speaking,I think the most important thing is to practice the exam as if you are actually on the exam,because you will feel nervous during the exam so you have to practice.Also you have the to collect ideas about as many topics as you can .In part2 i spoke a little bite and then i did not know what to say
Thanks for sharing!
igahsoh i spoke fluently during the whole test & answered all the questions..
Still i got 6.5
It’s Me Ayana good luck next time
7:40 when I thought about the question I was gonna talk about driving a car too haha
I got 7 in speaking without any preparation. I should have slowed down a bit to allow more time for using better sentence patterns. For migration purpose, I aim at an 8. Will take the exam later.
I gave an exam and the topic was ,what do you do in your "FREE TIME"
Excellent!! I listened to the dialogue and he helped me a lot in my pronunciation of English. Thank you !!
it's actually really frustrating when you come out of the speaking exam room (which in term is another frustrating thing because its so tiny like an interrogative room between a police and a thief) and then things come to your head automatically that you think you could have added when you were in the room. Please tell me this is relatable (just so that my mind becomes ease for no reason). :) :(
AND ALSO THE VIDEO WAS AMAZING :P
I think this is true in many situations, even for native speakers! It's difficult to say everything you want to say in the perfect way, in any spoken situation. The best thing you can do is just know you did your best at that time!
My test is tomorrow. I can’t wait to come back with positive feedback
It's just distracting that you're not looking at each other during the "interview". Nevertheless, thank you for some great suggestions.
Hi Maria, thanks for watching our lesson and sharing your comment! It's important to remember that each teacher is filming their part of your lesson from different parts of the world! They are not even in the same room! Therefore, when editing the video, it can be difficult to put each person's line of sight directly lined up to the other. Glad you enjoyed the lesson!
Just had my exam. I will update you guys with the score as soon as i get it :)
Thank you very much. This video is interesting and instructive at the same time. As usual, l feel big satisfaction in watching your lessons.
Thanks for the support, Yasser!
I like the two teachers，Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Both of you are explaining well and the explanations are crystal clear.

Thank you the organizers of IELTS, doing a great work to humanity.
Those who hit dislike got most likely band 4 or less in their test , great video.
Omg this is so difficult i need miracle to speak like them
Going directly to band 9 might be too much to do in one step! Break your studies into smaller chunks and set clear goals at each stage. This video might help you: ua-cam.com/video/R09soFP3Qgk/v-deo.html
Just need some dedication Saif!
@@amineelgraoui3542 , this is it!
Hey Saif, focus on getting from 0 to 10 then 10 to 20..etc, Don't focus on getting from 0 to 100 in a single moment, this is how you can speak like them, or maybe accomplish anything u want in your life, good luck
This video is great. After their speaking exercises, they explain it very well on how the things going and tips to get a higher score.
If Sandor Clegane
(The hound) was the interviewer he would have said. "You're a talker"
I think the best tip to get a high band score is to be conscious about your speaking. And you don't become speaking-conscious with a few weeks of studying an Ielts course. Rather, you develop it through years of practices. I don't have intention to discourage anyone but take my words: You need more than just the knowledge of English to get band 9 score.
Agree 100%. If you're not aware of how you speak, then you can't change or improve it.
Good lesson! How much should I speak in part 1? Oliver's answers are elaborated; whereas in other similar videos their answers are short but complete.
Thanks for watching! This lesson has a bit more detail on part one: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/ielts-speaking-exam-part-one.
I did not have anyone to speak to so I used an Alexa skill to practice IELTS speaking test. I did not have the device, I downloaded the app. Got 7.5 bands😎
Thank you for your video. It's useful for me to improve my E skills. Especially, your voice is very fluent and clear
I just did the test. they first greeted me asking about my home town . then asking me about howmuch I like the place I live at and why. what changes you woukd like to see in the area? what you like and dislije the most about it?Then in 2 minutes style question he was asking about my Grand Parent's job (2min talk). Then asking me if I talk about it to other people and why...if I agree or liked what he was doing. then asking me if robots going to replace human in the future? is it inevitable? how? do you think challenges are important for life and why you think that way? if I like my photos to be taken. what I like to taje a photo from and why? do I prefer cellphone or camera?
I really liked after watching to this glorious conversation it is really amazed for me.
Wow ....I will follow your strategic ....it's amazing 😍😍☺️☺️
Seriously it’s amazingz. I am afraid why I couldn’t find this video before. This video will really boost my band.

Excellent. Thanks Stephanie and Oli for your wonderful support. I'm planning to do the IELTS at the end of this year and believe that this video will help me a lot. i need overall 8-8.5 to do the CELTA at a centre in the UK.
Good luck on your exam!
Have my speaking test tomorrow and came across your video 😅 & it’s 11:21 pm here in Nepal 🇳🇵 🤦🏻♀️

This vedio is really helpful..to know more about distinguish language like specilised lang and idiomatic lang.
We're happy you found the lesson useful!
1:12 “You’re man of culture as well”
These IELTS examiners don't even say "good" or "right" or nod heads. They just sit still and don't even appreciate what I just said as an answer but jump to next question as soon as I finish without a feedback. Makes me real anxious
It is quite impossible to speak so fluently in the exam I think.
For me, even if the question was made on my mother language, I would struggle... "What is the most difficult thing you learned in your life?" What kind of question is that??
@@napa5235 Talk slower to buy some time to think of an answer
Thanks for your valuable sharing. It is definitely useful to me in developing my pronunciation, listening, and vocabulary.
I find that I may take a long time to practise before taking the IELTS exam. Anyway, your video is so useful, thank you so much
Nice presentation by the both of them, cheers thumbs up!
I feel like this sample was really informal... I always thought that the more formal was your speech the better was for your score. But apparently if you can use words like "stuff" or "weird" you can still score above 8. Great! I was really worried about it.
Well ! today is my speaking test, but i think everything is gonna be fine ! 💪
Hope it went well!
I love uk accent and english
