Today you’ll find out why the Speaking Examiner may think you’re inappropriate.
We’ve been reporting lately on my conversations with current IELTS Examiners from around the world.
Today, we’ll find out what annoys one very experienced examiner about candidates speaking answers.
Memorized answers
Some students are memorizing entire answers.
This may sound OK in Speaking Part 1, at first, where the questions are pretty easy.
However, this won’t be enough for a fluent 2 minutes in Part 2, and these candidates fall apart if they’re asked ‘Why‘ in Part 1.
Finally, as the conversation develops in Part 3, this student utterly falls apart.
Bad filler phrases in Part 1
Don’t say, ‘That’s an interesting question‘, or ‘Let me think about that‘ in IELTS Speaking Part 1. Use these informal fillers instead.
