    Students appearing in IELTS find speaking
    module very difficult as they have to appear in a face to face interview with
    the examiner. This causes an uncomfortable feeling among them. When students
    are anxious and uncomfortable, it is very difficult for them to maintain their
    fluency and coherence. As a result, they are unable to answer the question
    properly. Even after taking coaching they face certain problems such as lack of
    vocabulary and ideas, lots of repetition and pauses that limit them to a band score
    of 5-6.



    Here are some of the tips for the preparation of
    the speaking module and to be fluent in speaking to score above 7.



    Tips for IELTS speaking



    ·        
    The
    Speaking test format is designed to foster a good conversation between the
    examiner and student, so be natural and answer the questions spontaneously to
    have a good conversation. To learn to speak naturally, students should start
    thinking in English and should notrely on translating the question in their mother
    tongue to answer. It might seem difficult in the beginning but as you practice
    you would start feeling comfortable speaking in English.



     



    ·        
    Listen
    tothe questions carefully and try to answer them naturally. Stay calm and
    relaxed while answering because it would give enough time to your mind to think
    of the ideas and vocabulary. If you try to answer in haste you may not have
    enough words or ideas to answer it properly and you may lose coherence.



     



     



    ·        
    Fluency
    does not mean to speak fast but to answer the question smoothly in a
    well-organized manner with proper expression. If you rush to finish the answers
    the examiner may think that you are nervous.



     



     



    ·        
    Confidence
    is the key to achieve high band score. The best way to develop confidence is to
    speak in English with people. Practising in front of mirror also boosts the
    confidence of a person and at the same time allows him to observe his facial
    expression while speaking.



     



    ·        
    Think or search some
    commonly asked questions and prepare the answers with your real life
    information. Do not try to speak the learned words as examiners are expert in
    identifying that and may give a lower score.



     



    ·        
    Speaking
    at a length of time needs lots of practice. Use voice recorder to measure your
    speaking time. Recording facilitates you to you know your weak areas and to
    keep a track of your performance to see the improvement.



     



    ·        
    The
    first part of speaking includes some common questions such as home, hometown,
    computers, mobile, indoor and outdoor activities, your liking and disliking
    etc. Try to think of  questions about
    such topics and prepare the answers by using some good vocabulary words. This
    preparation method helps to think some of the common ideas which can be used in
    different speaking questions.



     



    ·        
    The
    second part of speaking is cue-card topic which is speaking about a topic for
    around 1-2 minutes. Students often make more mistakes in this part as they
    sometimes do not have enough ideas, and to keep going on they deviate from the
    topic or do repetition of sentences. The best way for the preparation of this
    part is to utilize the given one minute properly to generate ideas and arrange
    them logically as per the hints given below the cue-card.



     



     



    ·        
    The last
    part of speaking is follow-up questions which are related to the cue-card. The
    questions asked in this part are of bit abstract nature which involve in-depth
    thinking and answering logically. The students should give longer answers in
    this part than part 1 and try to explain the ideas with the help of the
    examples. To gain a high band score students
    should use varied tenses, structures and phrases
    to answer this part.



     



    ·        
    Listen
    and watch some IELTS speaking interview videos with band score 8 and 9 to understand
    the test format and logical answers to questions, and most importantly practice
    to speak daily by choosing some common IELTs questions in speaking.
