IELTS Speaking

IELTS Speaking Simulation: Module 4

This is a mock IELTS speaking exam.
The speaking section of the exam contains three parts, as organized below.
The whole speaking exam will last approximately 11-14 minutes.

TIP: When practicing speaking alone, speak out loud. You can also have a friend work with you and ask you these questions to make it feel more like a real exam.

Part One

Part one of the IELTS test is a series of "introduction questions" and usually lasts about 4 minutes. It's best to answer the questions in roughly 3 sentences.

Avoid 1 word or one sentence answers!

Do you live in a house or an apartment?
What do you like most about it?
Would you like to change anything about the place you live?
How often do you buy clothes?
Do you prefer shopping online or in stores?
When was the last time you bought something that made you happy?
What is your favorite type of weather?
Does the weather ever affect your mood?

Part Two

Part two of the IELTS speaking test is also called the long turn or the 2 minute speech.
You will receive a question topic and will have 1 minute to prepare a 2 minute answer on that topic. You must talk for more than 2 minutes.

Describe something healthy you enjoy doing.

You should say:

What the activity is
Where and when you do it
Who you do it with

And explain why you enjoy doing it so much.

Part three of the IELTS speaking test will be 5 minute discussion on a similar topic as part two. You will not have time to prepare it will be a live discussion. Try to give longer answers with multiple ideas. Do not talk about yourself or your life, they are general questions.

Do elderly people exercise much in your country?
Do you think all illnesses can be prevented?
Do you think that illnesses will be less common in the future?
Do you think healthcare should be free?
