Keeping most of the IELTS speaking tips in mind helped me a lot. As
a result, I kept an eye contact with the examiner and didn’t look at
the walls, curtains or other objects in the room. I listened to her
questions very carefully and gave relevant answers. If she asked
about my profession, I told her what my profession was.
When she asked me questions, I gave concrete answers to her
quickly and then provided details of my answer. Next, I used the
linking words such as ‘Firstly, Secondly, Finally’, conversation fillers
like “Mmmm… alright, let me think…’, Well, to be honest …” and so
on. There was one moment when I wondered away and missed the
beginning of her question.
So I asked her to repeat the question by saying “Excuse, could you
please repeat your question one more time?
I missed the
beginning”. And she did and I was safe.
