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.

ohabby1984:Attention,a quick way to get hign score!
a teacher of training centre(he used to be the examiner of IELTS) told us that we can get high score(over 6`5) easily through using SLANGS and IDIOMS.
Don't try to use very long and difficuls words in order to impress the examiner.It won't work at all. Long and difficult words make this guy bookish.
John, is that right?Do u agree with what the teacher said? Keep practising ur english in 1-2 months.Non-stop.6`5 is not far from us.
John :I agree with the following sentence: " Don't try to use very long and difficult words in order to impress the examiner."
I think it's misleading, however, to say that using "idioms" and "slang" will help you get a high score on the exam. In fact, sometimes students try to use to many idioms and end up looking foolish. It's important to understand the proper colloquial usage of words, but it's more important that you use English that YOU are comfortable with to express your ideas. That's how you get a high score.
(By the way: If your friend was a former examiner, he or she would know that it's impossible to get a 6.5 on the IELTS Speaking Test. )
上善若水:Hi John,I've taken the 29 Feb interview, and I thought it was OK except one thing: since it was the first time I took the interview and the assistant teacher didn't guide m of the procedure, I took my bag to the interviewer. She felt surprise at my behavior! and told m put the bag downstairs-of course, that resulted in a minute or two time waste. I apologized for that and all interview was pretty good, and when we said goodbye, she *iled to remind m of not forgetting my bag. But tell m John, do u think that's possible she would take some points off coz of that? Look forward to ur reply and thank u very much!
John:Don't worry so much! The interviewer will not take off points in this situation. In fact, I bet the interviewer was glad to have an extra minute or two of rest between interviews!
心残游记0:John,here is the writting test,task 2
topic:along with social development,a variety fo languages and cultures are losing seriously.plz discuss the reasons and give your suggestions.
i took this topic to my australian teacher,he said it didn't make sense.it shoud change"losing seriously"into"being lost".and he gave me only one reason--progress.for intance,internet,economics,jobs,foreign companies come and so on.and then i told him it is just one reason,i can't write only one reason in the writting test.i wanna more reasons.and then,he told me it was the main reason,and he didn't know other reasons.so as a foreigner,i would like to know how do u think about this topic and what are ur reasons.oh,i also told him maybe touri* is one of the reasons.but he said no.coz toursits wanna see something traditional,not modern.maybe he is right,but i still think touri* is a reason,just like every coin has two sides.i can talk something about how touri* change our languages and cultures.am i right??although that's not a oral test question,i want to know ur opinion.i hope i don't bother u.thanks a lot!!
