Features: This new edition of the book has the following characteristics: It comprehensively includes all topics covered in the current IELTS speaking test, along with related questions and sample answers, enabling candidates to perform more confidently during the exam. Many candidates have had questions while using this book, and answers are provided here:
1. Are the examiner's cards the same as those mentioned in the book?
Answer: Yes. Candidates can prepare by following the card questions in the book and thus handle the 2-minute presentation questions in the IELTS speaking test with ease.
2. Are the examiner's questions the same as those in the book?
Answer: Yes. Because the IELTS exam follows the principles of fairness and equality, examiners must ensure the stability of the question content. For example: If candidate A is asked about travel precautions, and candidate B is also asked about travel precautions, the questions are relatively fixed, meaning there are a certain number of questions for each card. Therefore, candidates are advised to prepare thoroughly around the questions.
This book is written for candidates preparing for the IELTS speaking test. Its purpose is to provide candidates with information about speaking test questions, speaking skills, and sample answers. Many candidates have reported during their preparation for the IELTS speaking test that they know what questions the examiner will ask and how to express them in Chinese, but they are unsure how to express them in English. To address this, the authors of this book have provided possible questions and sample answers for the IELTS speaking test, aiming to give candidates a general understanding of the exam.
The book is divided into five parts: Introduction, Work Section, Student Section, Vocabulary Section, and Postscript with Speaking Learning Methods. There are a total of 25 lessons, and each lesson consists of three parts:
PART 1: The examiner will ask questions about the candidate's name, work, studies, and hobbies. This section provides sample answers to these questions.
PART 2: The examiner will give the candidate a paper with a card diagram, which includes topics for the candidate to describe. This section provides sample statements for these topics.
PART 3: During the interview, the examiner will ask follow-up questions based on the candidate's description. This section provides sample answers to these questions.
The greatest feature of this book is the variety of ways to discuss topics, avoiding excessive repetition. Additionally, candidates can organize ideal answers by referring to the book's examples and combining them with their own (actual situations). Furthermore, the book includes relevant vocabulary for discussing each topic.
