IELTS Speaking Test: How long should my answers be?

I'm often asked by my students how long their answers to the interviewer's questions in the IELTS Speaking Test should be. In this article, I'll give some advice on how long your answers should be, and then give some simple advice on how to extend your answers.

Part One

In part one of the interview, which lasts four to five minutes, the interviewer will ask you some basic questions about topics that are familiar to you, such as your family, hobbies, or eating habits. Usually, the interview will ask you questions about three topics, and ask three to five questions per topic, for a total of nine to fifteen questions. Assuming that you spend the entire four to five minutes answering questions, you have about 20 to 30 seconds per question. Remember, though, that we must take into account the time it takes the interviewer to ask the questions.

Your answers in part one do not have to be all of the same length. For some questions, if you don't have much to say, it's fine to reply with just one to two sentences. For others, if you have a lot to say, you may want to answer with five or six sentences. The most important thing is to communicate a clear, full answer to the interviewer with some elaboration. As long as you do this, the interviewer will be satisfied with your answer, regardless of its length.

Part Two

In part two or the interview, the interviewer gives you a card and asks you to talk about the topic on the card for one to two minutes. You have one minute to prepare, and the interviewer will give you a sheet of paper and a pencil to take notes if you wish.

As long as you speak for somewhere between one and two minutes, the length of your answer is irrelevant, and your answer is judged on the level of language you present. If you speak for less than one minute, your score will be penalized; if you speak for more than two minutes, the interviewer will stop you, but your score should not be affected.

A misconception among many students is that you have to give very eloquent answers to get a high score on the IELTS Speaking Test. This is not the case. All that is necessary is that you give a clear answer using proper English. In part two of the interview, you are not expected to give a "professional" speech--after all, you only have only one minute to prepare! So relax, take a deep breath, and just talk about the topic that you are given in a clear, thoughtful manner.

John谈口语：语速和口语听力资料

网友linmoonyo：SHOULD I SPEAK SLOWLY OR QUICKLY?

John：The simple answer is that you should speak using your natural speed. Speaking too quickly might make it more difficult for the interviewer to understand you, while intentionally slowing down your speed of speech might cause you to think too much and make more mistakes.

One thing to pay attention to, however, is that some students speed up their speech when they get nervous. Try to avoid this by finding ways to relax in the interview.

Let me know anything is unclear.

网友torsion：向大家推荐一个练口语听力的好东东，美国情景喜剧《Friends》非常好！！

John: Friends is great, even if you've seen it five or six times!

You can find it at most stores in Beijing that sell DVDs. I'm not sure how readily available it is outside of Beijing. In Chinese it's called either 老友记 or 六人行.

For those of you who don't know, Friends is an American sitcom (sitcom = "situation comedy").

网友snow_du：Just so so

John：Actually, you're not the only one who thinks so. As with any pop culture phenomenon, Friends has its detractors. Here's an article that calls it "The most overrated comedy ever": /2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/12/apontv.friends.ap/

My opinion--and I've watched a lot of sitcoms--is that Friends is a great show. It may be overrated, it may not be the best show ever, but it certainly is entertaining.

If you search around online (try /), you can find a lot more people who criticize the show. If you're a fan, you might want to read some of these critici*s and see what you think.

John：First of all, I think "torsion" has a good point: the real value in watching a show like Friends is in finding an enjoyable way to study English.

As far as how to use it, there are several ways. First of all, just watching it is a great way to improve your listening. Try it with the subtitles off! Another very effective way to improve your English using a television program is to imitate after the speakers. You can either just imitate as you watch, doing your best to keep up, or use your remote control to pause the show and imitate sentence by sentence. This is also most effective if done with the subtitles OFF.

New Concept is also a quality set of materials. Attempting to memorize it by heart is an admirable goal, but realize that simply memorizing things is not the best way to become a good speaker of a language. You also need to focus on improving your pronunciation through imitation. Perhaps you could memorize some of the passages and use the other passages as imitation materials (listen to the tapes!).
