How to ace your IELTS speaking Examination?
The International English Language Test System popularly
known as IELTS is a passage that leads to the dreams of an immigrant aspirant.
There is no movement of application until and unless the aspirant clears the
IELTS examination. So, for those who aspire to opt for foreign education or
want to settle in Canada in the professional quota or even those who are moving
with their spouses or families requires to clear the IELTS. It is compulsory to
move your application.
If you are wondering why it is compulsory then the answer is
it will help the aspirant to communicate effectively. If a person is not aware
about the foreign language in a foreign land, how will they communicate their
thoughts and requirements to the other people. So, it is an important requirement
to survive in a new or foreign country. If you are not able to communicate then
you may not be able to share your feelings, thoughts and knowledge. So, the
motto behind the IELTS is that those who are going to the foreign land can
easily communicate and explain themselves.
Well, the examination is divided into four important parts
including reading, writing, listening and speaking. If an aspirant is able to
ace all these sections of the examination with good bands then they have
successfully attempted the paper and cleared it.
All the sections of the examinations are prepared according
to a particular format. There is no change in the format during the paper. As
in the reading section there are three paragraphs which the student needs to
read and answer the given questions. The similar pattern goes for the listening
section. There are three conversations that one needs to hear and then answer
the given questions in stipulated times. For the writing section, the student
is required to write two articles of 150 words and another of 250 words. Topics
are shared by the examiner and the aspirant is required to complete the writing
section in a given time frame.
The last but very important speaking section is conducted by
an individual examiner on a separate day after the other parts of the
examination. Again the IELTS speaking format is shared by the aspirants and the
examination is conducted on the lines of the same pattern. But the important
part is the examiner is right in front of the student as according to the IELTS
speaking format and the aspirant may get confused or lose their cool while
attempting their speaking test.
So, the point is how to ace the IELTS speaking test. How to
maintain the cool and calm as the examiner is right in front. Well, we have
some effective tips that will help the aspirants to understand the concept and
also will relax them in front of the examiner.
Stay Calm- No matter what you are going through inside. Take
a deep breath and stay calm. Do not get nervous or confused. Just take it easy
as a conversation.
Do not learn your answers- We urge you not to
learn your answers. Memorised language does not give the examiner an accurate
measure of your English-language skills. The examiner will be able to tell if
you have memorised your answers and this may influence your final band score.
Rather, be easy, smile a little and pursue it as a conversation between two
acquaintances.
Do not use big or complicated words- You may want to use big words to
impress the examiner. But to be safe, avoid using words you are not familiar
with. Only use those words which you know and you can pronounce better. If you
pick uncomfortable words then you have a higher chance of making mistakes by
either mispronouncing words or using them in the wrong context. Such mistakes
can affect your final band score. Though you may use a range of vocabulary and
it may look good when used in the right context.
Do not worry
about your accent- In a face-to-face Speaking test, the IELTS examiner
understands a wide range of accents so will be able to understand what you say.
If you can communicate well, then there is nothing to worry about. But you have
to be aware of sounds that you have difficulty with and make sure to use stress
and intonation. Practice with friends and they will tell you if they can't
understand what you are saying. Do not give a fake accent just to impress the
examiner, just be yourself and have a normal accent.
