Speaking Cue Cards

Speaking module in IELTS is a module about which the student does not have confidence. The main reason behind it is that many students afraid about which kind of question the examiner can ask from them. This is why they find it difficult to do this because they need to think about the answer for a while and in the middle of the answer they do not have time to think. Also, a big pause in your answer can be the reason for your score deduction. So, it’s better to think about your answer first that you can finish in 2 minutes. For this, you need to practice well.

IELTS Speaking Sample 1

IELTS Speaking Mock Test #1

[This part of the test begins with the examiner introducing himself or herself and checking the candidate’s identification. It then continues as an interview. In the interview, the examiner asks the candidate about his/her home, work or studies and other familiar topics. ]

Topic: Place where you live

Q. Good afternoon. My name is Kristina Pollock. Could I have your name, please?
A. Good afternoon Madam. My name is Joseph Mark and my nickname is Mark. So you can call me «Mark».

Q. And your candidate number is.
A. My candidate number is BR547.

The place where I live is really charming and I love to live there as this is one of the best neighbourhoods in our town.

Q. What are some of the nicest things about where you live?
A. The town where I live in is a calm place and is very neat and clean. You will find it naturally beautiful and the majestic lakes, gardens, fountain, river, hill and the songs of birds will take your heart away. Whenever my friends from other cities come to visit my area, they become awestricken! Our area is indeed a stunning place to live in.

On top of that, people are very nice and friendly and you would be very gratified with their charming behaviours if you ever visit there. The area is free of pollution as it is not an industrial area and the fresh air would give a soothing feeling. The traffic on the road is good most of the time and you won’t have to worry about public transportation as they are available around the clock. This area is famous for many historical sites and monuments like (. say some names here. ) and many tourists come to visit here every year.

Finally, there are many fabulous restaurants there and you can pick one of your delicious menus from there and I am sure you will never forget the taste! The crime rate is pretty low and as a small town, we know each other very well. I am sure if you visit our area, you will simply love it.

Q. What would be the best way for me to get there?
A. If you have a private car with you, you can drive along the roads for about an hour and reach my town. Alternatively, you can take a public bus or hire a car and reach there. The rent for public transportation is fixed and you do not need to pay any extra charge.

Q. Should I go there at any special time of year?
A. Most of the tourists visit our town during the summer season and I would recommend you to do so as well. There are lots of activities you can do during this time and I’m sure you will find the area most beautiful then.

[Examiner: I see, this has all been very interesting.]

Topic:

Describe a problem that affects the environment in the area where you live.

and explain what you think could be done to solve it.

[You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]

[Examiner: All right? Remember you have one to two minutes for this, so don’t worry if I stop you. I’ll tell you when the time is up. Can you start speaking now, please?]

Topic: National problems

Q. Tell me, what do you think are the greatest problems your country is facing at present?
A. Slow economic development, political instability, unemployment and healthcare are the major issues most of the people in my country are really tired of. In my opinion, these are the most burning issues and the greatest problems we have in our country.

Q. Do you think things are likely to get better or worse in the future?
A. We hope that the problem we have in our country would be resolved within the next few years. The government and other organisations are working hard to address these issues and we are noticing some signs of progress. So we can definitely be positive and wait for the glorious days when we won’t have any of those issues. This was an optimistic idea and I have positive impressions about my country. But the greatest obstacle is the hunger for power and our political leaders often create haphazard situations for the sake of power and money. This is the single worst reason that can degrade the situation in the future if the mentality does not change.

Q. And what has been done so far to solve these problems?
A. The government has taken many initiatives for the economic growth of our country. According to the statistics, we are indeed progressing. But I am not convinced by the statistics only. I want to see the result, and I want to feel it around me. The political instability seems like consuming most of our goodwills and energy. While major political parties should have worked together to help improve our economic conditions, sometimes their actions give me a real doubt whether they are the type of leaders we need for our country!

On the positive sides, the government has emphasized on the ICT sector, made the export process easier for businesses, established many training institutes to enhance the skill of the rural people and those are all hopeful signs. Someday definitely we will see the real progresses that we want. Education, skill development, foreign investment, job security etc. are also important areas where the government has invested a lot of money. The aim of this investment is to create a skilled and educated generation who would lead the economy and the country. ‘Healthcare and treatment’ is still an expensive area for the mass people and the government’s initiatives for the establishment of new hospitals, enrolling more doctors and nurses are in reality very little compared to the actual need.

Topics: Solving problems

Q. How successful would you say these measures have been?
A. These measures are successful to some extent but if I present those in figures and numbers, it would be only a few percentages of the actual progress we expect. For instance, more than three thousand new hospitals are required right now throughout the country whereas only 45 hospitals have been established in the last three years.

[Thank you very much. It’s been pleasant talking to you. I wish you success in your study program. Goodbye.]

Проект Speaking Cards. Реализовать свою идею, дать ей увидеть свет и создать проект в одиночку

Все мы когда-то с чего-то начинали, неопытные, с кучей энтузиазма, потенциалом, энергией (желаю эту энергию никогда не терять) и искрами в глазах, с мыслями о покорении мира, сталкивались с мнением несогласных критиков. Так и я решила попробовать, ведь лучше сделать что-то, чем оставить свою идею лежать и хламиться на полке «Нереализованных проектов», каждая идея должна увидеть свой свет, если Вы видите в ней изюминку.

Начинать всегда сложно, и можно не ждать легкого пути и прямой полосы навстречу к успеху, однако, если ты нашел, что тебе нравится, ты смог ухватиться за концепцию желанного продукта, все может быть гораздо проще.

Привет! Меня зовут Надя, на протяжении 12 лет я активно изучала и повышала свой уровень языка, сдала международный экзамен TOEFL и уже 2 года преподаю английский. Нет-нет, не как все: со скучной теорией и бесконечными правилами. Я учу говорить. Мой путь изучения был довольно долгим и не всегда успешным, однако к высокому уровню меня двигало желание наконец-то свободно заговорить, ведь смысл языка именно в этом – уметь выразить все то, о чем думаешь.

После 2 лет преподавания по нескучным методикам, я решила создать набор карточек с заданиями, которые развивают речь и говорение. Так я разнообразила свои занятия. Учащимся гораздо интереснее работать в формате «обучение через игру» (edutainment), да и запоминается информации гораздо лучше.

Мне хотелось реализовать эту идею в виде проекта, отражающего мои наблюдения, деятельность и опыт. На момент создания у меня не было ничего, кроме работоспособности и любви к тому, что я делаю. Как правило, когда начинаешь, у тебя нет супер-команды, никакого капитала, но есть идея и желание.

Предназначение проекта в обучении всех желающих английскому языку через игру. Проект я решила создать сразу, однако гнаться на быстрыми результатами априори провальная идея. При создании я учитывала множество моментов: подготовка заданий и сайта, разработка дизайна, выбор типографии, отправление наборов. Шаг за шагом к созданию финального результата и постоянное обновление, перепроверка, множество косяков (брак при печати, некачественная краска) и работа в минус – все это типичные организационные моменты, с которыми просто нельзя не столкнуться.

Берите за хвост любую возможность, оборачивайте сложившуюся ситуацию в свою сторону и не теряйте времени в ожидании.

Именно так я решила создать проект Speaking Cards. Если интересно – Вы можете посетить страницу в Инстаграме.
