#1: Informal fillers
Begin your answer with an informal filler, just like a native.
For instance, you can begin by saying:
“Yeah, for sure, totally. There are tons of stunning places near my apartment.”
For a Band 7 or higher, you must be communicating more like a native English speaker, and less like a student.
Natives use fillers to introduce our ideas constantly!
#2: Be specific!
Remember to be specific in your answers, even in IELTS Speaking Part 1.
In the video, you’ll see that Jessica gives very specific examples in both answers.
Avoid general, nonspecific statements.
Share names, places, and details.
- How you felt
- Where you went
- What you saw
- Why you chose to go there
- Who you were with
Provide specific details regarding:
- Why
- How
- What
- Where
- When
