The exam questions collected in this book are the same as those in the "IELTS Speaking Breakthrough" of this series. Each question provides a reference answer, but remember that for the questions in this book and the speaking section of the actual IELTS exam, the answers can vary greatly. Contrary to popular belief, no question can have a definitive correct answer. Like IELTS writing, the examiner hopes you can provide reasons to support your ideas and clarify your viewpoints. The main reason for clarifying your viewpoints is to demonstrate your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to the examiner, as well as to give you the opportunity to use connecting words to prove that your speech is well-organized. The reference answers provide some useful vocabulary that you can and should use when answering questions. Never memorize these answers word for word, as examiners will pay close attention to whether you are reciting them, and if so, your score will be significantly reduced. It is certain that you will disagree with many of the opinions in the reference answers. That’s great! We are happy to see that you have different opinions, as this will force you to clarify your own viewpoints and think more deeply about the questions you encounter. The best way to use this book is to identify which questions in the IELTS speaking section you are less confident about, then focus on learning related content in this book, allowing the reference answers to serve as a guide. Most questions are in Sections 1, 2, and 3, so pay attention to the different ways questions are asked, especially noting that questions in Section 3 are relatively easier and more related to your real-life situation. Section 4 questions often involve personal thoughts and opinions.
