Is your spoken English about to be assessed for IELTS?
The thought of facing an English speaking exam can be quite frightening: having your speaking skills assessed by experts is not something that happens often and many students worry that they won’t perform at their best on the big day.
At some point during your preparation you’ve probably wondered ‘What if I speak too much?’ ‘What if I can’t answer the question?’ ‘What if I find myself making a mistake?’ And worst of all, ‘What if my mind goes completely blank and I can’t think of anything to say?'
Now imagine a different situation
- You sit down opposite the examiner knowing exactly what to expect during the Speaking test.
- You get the exam off to a great start by answering the introductory questions in style.
- You make use of strategies that guarantee you carry out the Part 2 question fully AND showcase your English.
- And you answer the more challenging Part 3 questions with absolute confidence.
