Today you will hear a mock Speaking Part 1 with student Darshna, and get feedback for a Speaking 8.
Darshna has taken the IELTS Exam twice.
In 2015 she got overall 7, and the previous one in June was also 7 overall.
Darshna was able to increase her Speaking score from a 6 to a 7 by subscribing to our YouTube channel, and using the other resources from IELTS Energy.
However, she needs to raise her scores for Australian immigration.
Darshna has finished the Speaking Module from 3 Keys IELTS, and shares these tips:

IELTS Speaking Part 1 questions:
- Did you grow up in a house or an apartment?
- What could you see from the window of your bedroom?
- What kind of house or apartment do you want in the future?
- How often do you exercise?
- Did you do a lot of physical exercise as a child?
- Is there any type of exercise you would like to try in the future?
Feedback on her Speaking answers:
- Forget that it’s a test! Don’t be a student. Try to talk like you do in real life.
- When she spoke about exercise, her expressiveness was much better than when talking about her house. Laughing is great!
- Use informal fillers at the beginning of answers.
- Darshna has some great vocabulary, like ‘soothing to the eyes‘, ‘lush greenery‘, ‘post-pregnancy‘
- Give more details for every answer
- Practice more IELTS Speaking questions with friends
- Read out loud every day for 5 to 10 minutes
- Try mimicking to improve stress and intonation.
Darshna needs to go from a 7 to an 8, and the key is being more natural. For instance, using more idioms and slang is necessary.
