IELTS Speaking Simulation: Module 3

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.
