Hello everyone, I sat for the IELTS speaking on last Friday and here are my questions : The first part: questions about hometown and furniture and recycling: - what is good about your hometown, how does it look like etc,.. and -what is your favourite furniture at home and what furniture would you like to have, did you friend sent you furniture or not? - the recycling part was: do you recycle? Did you recycle as a child? What do you recycle? Why do you think it is important to recycle? The second part was about ambitions: talk about an ambition you had, when why, what did you do to reach it etc and then the PART3 was related to part 2, why should people have ambitions? Why do we need ambitious people in a team? Why so many people want to have a better position at work etc,.. I hope this will help you to review more for the Speaking test! Good luck everyone :))
Hi Asiya. I used your techniques to study and I got a band 8 with 9 in both listening and writing, 7.5 in speaking and 7 in writing. Thanks for all you do. 😘
Im so happy for you. You just made my day.😊 I REALLY WILL BE APPRICIATED if you feedback me about my writing . Here is my essay:: . Recently, the phenomenon of learning more than one language has sparked an ongoing controversy, which inevitably leads to a moot question “would it be important in the future?”. Whereas it is a widely held view that the ability to communicate in more than one language is vital, I will discuss controversial aspects of that throughout this essay. From the communicative standpoint, the effective communication is bound up inextricably with the people’s command of language, which indicates they lead to both power of expression and sharing opinions. As a well-known example, a longitudinal study conducted by eminent scientists in 2014 demonstrates the relationship between social networking and broadening horizon as well as an exponential increase in multinational interactions. Their academic criticism was impressive. Researchers, nevertheless, paid heed to more job opportunities, business links, and future prosperity alike. Consequently, my empirical evidence presented thus far supports the contention that the likelihood of better global understanding is correlated positively with not only the international co-operation but also command of a dominant language. Within the realm of society and education, without the slightest doubt, mastering a common language attribute to language barrier elimination, in that it would come down to the less cultural shock, social customs, and cultural diversity. A salient example of such attribution is the bilingual education, which is a cause for concern since it was mistaken to take the language acquisition for granted. Had there been a paradigm shift earlier, scholars might have had the opportunity to pinpoint the studying abroad problems. Likewise, hardly had they confined their attention to the social conversation, global training, and even being up- to-date. Besides, this criterion is an indispensable part of modern lifestyle. Hence, it is reasonable to infer the pivotal role of sociocultural aspects of being multilingual. To conclude, as for myself, as the saying goes “all’s well that ends well,” after analyzing what elaborated above, I firmly believe that in the future being bilingual or multilingual will be more important than it is now. However, with the benefit of hindsight, we conceive the more we research, the further we discover. However, with the benefit of hindsight, we conceive the more we research, the further we discover.
Hey Asiya! I've passed my exam recently... and just wanted to thank you for all the information and tips. I didn't have a preparation class, and I received more than you could imagine of energy and support from your videos. Thank you. ♥
Today, I have done with my speaking test in Hyderabad. Part-1 : Where do you live? House/ Apartment --related questions and some questions related to the park nearby. Part-2 : Discuss about any famous personality in the news. who is he? How do you know about him? Do you want to meet him? I spoke about Sonu Soodh and his activities during this pandemic situation. Part-3: Questions related to the news and media. Discussed some pros and cons about present media.
Hello! I received my results and my overall score was 8.0 and the same for the speaking part. They asked me about the music I like to listen to, topics that men and women usually talk about and the importance of public speaking. Thanks Asyia for all the helpful advice! It was crucial for my results.
Nahid Forootan thank you! On task 1 they gave me a bar chart of the overweight men and women in Australia. On task 2 they asked me if I thought classes like math and philosophy should be optional at school since a lot pf kids find them difficult! Good luck on your exam!
In my speaking test, the examiner asked me “have you ever visited a lake which has fish in it” I was taken aback I didn’t know what to say. I just said: “well, as I mentioned earlier, fishing is not a popular activity in my home country, so no I haven’t visited any lakes” 😅 I scored 7 though 😊
Well done😉 I have the exam in few days and still not up too much for speaking .could you give me some advice? Also is there a break between Reading and Writing time?can we bring something to eat like chocolate?
@Pavel Paul Davila Garfias I think they want to know how we will react and answer such arbitrary questions, instead of actually giving a logical/short answer. Well done 👏🏼
@Nahid Forootan No there’s no break between writing and reading. They’re done at the same time along with listening test. Total time would be around 3 hours. For speaking try to practice it with someone, learn few advanced vocabulary, learn some idioms, try to be confident and calm. If you make a mistake, correct it, if you couldn’t, just move on. Good luck 👍🏼
I needed some guidance and thank God that a professor like you is there for students like us ....I am going to give my IELTS exam next week and I have gone through your videos and tbh I have learnt alot ....thank you so much
Thanks for all the helpful videos, Asiya! Just received my IELTS score... I needed 7 overall and at least 6,5 in each of the four parts, and I ended with an average of 7,5 and LRSW with 8,5/8/6,5/6,5. It was close to the lower limit... but just enough xD P.S. - I only had one week to prepare myself, and I did not require any teacher. I was anxious, and so I wasn't that good at speaking. I did writing with a great text structure, covering all the main points and with an overall/conclusion in task 1/2). However, I believe I had some spelling and grammar errors. Concerning Listening and Reading, I expected half a point more in both. Part of my hesitation was due to the trillions of website that say that you cannot pass IELTS without expensive training, including teachers, books, lots of tries, etc. Following these instructions, we could easily use more than 2 000 pounds or euros. Nonetheless, if you have proper English, you won't stand a problem scoring even a better score than I did, by seeing these remarkable videos from Asiya (and perhaps also some from English Speaking Success) and practising with official exams. Good luck everyone!
It really fullfilled me,ur comment.oh my goshhh ,I'm so happy for you.I knew We could get a good score without teachers,you just made my belief stronger.

@@ladygaliza8919 Hi, first of all congratulations! What did you do to improve your speaking skill? I have no opportunity to talk with someone in English, basically I am on my own :'( If you can give me suggestions I would be really happy. Thank you!
I just go speechless during my speaking test.. .in general I talk quite well and with good fluency😭 and I am stuck in 6 just because of it twice in my ielts😭
Asiya u r the best not cuz u give right way to score but cuz u r full of positive thoughts most of the other teacher's in RU-vid is full of negativity saying 'u won't score'..thank u Asiya
THANK U SO MUCH I HAVE 1 YEAR OF TIME TO PREPARE IELTS I KNOW I M STARTING EARLY BUT THAT IS GOOD CAUSE I WANT TO ACHIEVE A BAND SCORE- 9 OVERALL AND U R HELPING ME A LOT thanks once again
Hi Asiya, thanks for these tips, as they are really helpful. Formerly, I thought using Kind of and sort of in IELTS was wrong. My question is, in case I forgot the name of something , can I also say “what do you call it” and describe the thing
It took me 2 attempts to score 7.5 band (scored 6.5 in the first attempt) in writing but I did it by following your advice! I love this channel and it has helped more than any book, friend or colleague! I was aiming for the golden score of 8777 for Canadian EE program and I got it in the second go! Thank you so much for your videos, god bless you!
When I read comments like yours,It fullfill me.I'm so happy for you. I have the exam in few days and still not up toomuch for speaking .could you give me some advice? Also is there a break between Reading and Writing time?can we bring something to eat like chocolate?
Nahid Forootan Hey Nahid! I'm glad it motivated you. Luckily I never had much trouble in the speaking section but that's maybe because I communicate in English at work. Only advice to you for speaking is that listen to the question very carefully. Do not use complex vocabulary if you're not sure about it. It's better to keep a steady flow than to use heavy words with long pauses. And practice as many questions as you can. Most of the times, questions are very similar to the ones that have been asked before. Practice not to memorize but so that you gain some ideas about the topic. Nevertheless, the examiner is also a human being, it'd be much easier if you talk like you are talking to a friend, that way not just you'll be less hesitant but also your body language and expressions will come up as a native speaker. All the best for your exam 😊 And to answer your second question: There's a break between every section but just for like 5 minutes. But you're not allowed to bring anything except your passport! I took the computerized test, so I wasn't even allowed to bring a pencil or pen. They do give access to lockers so that you can keep your stuff there (big enough to fit a medium sized bag). They'll provide water to you during the exam but that's it. Nothing to eat!
@@nahidforootan1154 No problem :) Just have some wholesome food before entering the exam hall. I always had breakfast before the exam and kept peanuts in my bag. But anyway, I think when you'll be writing the exam, you will get so much involved in it that you won't even realise that 3 hours have passed! PS. it's better if you don't have to go to the washroom in the middle of the exam as it would waste your time, it's worse if it happens during writing section where the time limit is already quite stringent! Anyway, good luck :) Hope it goes will for you!
I took my speaking test today. Everything went until I was in the middle of part 2, where I completely blanked out. Wish I had seen this earlier. Thanks for the great tips tho :)
Omg, I'm looking for IELTS. I'm still student, I'm in 10th grade. And I started learning English only 2 years ago. I'm in love with learning any language but I'm afraid of IELTS. I understand what's saying teachers or maybe foreigns, but the big problem is my accent and I'm so shy to speak english with other people. Like I'm afraid that I can't handle it in the future and I'll give up.(And sorry for my english.)
Thanks for the videos mam Just now, I got my IELTS results and scored overall 7 points Listening 8.5, reading 6.5, speaking 6 and writing 6. I just watched your videos and practiced few tests. Thanks a lot mam.
Hi mam! I attended my speaking test on 5 September. My fluency was good.Vocab was intermediate grammar also.i spoke 1.40 seconds in cue card with perfect fluency.there were 12 to 14 intro questions as well as follow ups . Please can you predict my score..
Paradventure I didn't get a question, which one is better, sorry I didn't get the question or Sorry, I couldn't articulate the question The grammar articulate might fetch me more mark though, just my thought. Which one is better
hello, what if we donno the meaning of a word which the examiner asks in speaking test. how can we tackle that situation? can someone here help me out please :)
Plans next month or June to seat for the IELTS exam. Watching from Macau hope that I can have someone to talk to coz I'm only learning by watching RU-vid videos.. tnx
WHat to do if you got a question in card where you need to answer at least for 1-2 minutes in Speaking test, but the question about the topic which you dont know? Telling them you don't know about it and explaning why, I think wouldnt be enough, especially for 1-2 minutes. It probably could be considered as off topic answer? For example I had small quetions first about sport (I am not a sport fan), but somehow I answered them, when finally they gave me 1 minute to think hard (for me) topic - which football club I like and why....I never watched a football....
Hello Asiya.. Can I use these tips in Part 2 of speaking? What if I get a topic in which I have no idea about or in which I have no interest? I really cannot go on and speak for 2 minutes when I have no clue what to talk about! Please help me out with this.
Maam I want to know. What happened if i say any word in my language like bangla instead of English and correct it instantly in ielts speaking exam??? Is it effect my score?? Plz say
