84 How many words are needed for a model answer? You should ideally speak for 2 minutes. A native speaker speaks at about 145-160 words per minute and then there are pauses between ideas. A non-native high-level speaker may speak a bit slower perhaps 110 words per minute. A lower level speaker may speak at fewer than 100 words. You might want to work out your speaking speed, to get an idea of how many words you will need to speak. If you plan your model answer to be 250 words, that will be more than enough. Tell a Story Stories are useful to extend a talk in Part Two of the speaking exam. They often come out very fluently, are interesting, and result in the expression of a wide range of vocabulary and grammatical structures. The following explains these benefits in more detail: 1. It is often easy to speak fluently as ideas can often come out more quickly. This is because stories are often clear in our mind and we have told people certain stories many times and so they come out fluently in the exam. 2. Stories can also be helpful to speak for 2 minutes because there are often different parts to them such as a beginning, middle, and end; or a cause, effect, and solution. 3. Stories can be really interesting and can help the examiner to be interested in what you are saying. 85 4. Stories can also allow you to make things up which can help you to extend your talk and also use higher-level language. For instance, in the real story there might have been a white dress… but in the IELTS story you might change it to a magenta dress with a dark blue ribbon. 5. The story may not take up the whole of your response. You may start by focusing more on the topic card and then later move onto the story. Because of this aspect stories can be particularly useful with topics that you find difficult to talk about. Essentially, start by talking about the topic and then shift to a story that is somewhat related to the topic. Imagine you have been asked to talk about "your favorite wild animal". Maybe, after half a minute, you have said all you know about pandas! Now you can tell a story about going to the zoo and seeing a panda! Download 2.09 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
