It fully reflects the testing theory of the IELTS exam, truly helping candidates overcome exam challenges while improving their English proficiency. 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 has 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 views 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 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—if so, your score will be significantly reduced. It is certain that you will disagree with many of the opinions in the reference answers. Great! We are happy to see that you have different opinions, as this will force you to clarify your own views 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 least confident about and focus on learning related content in this book, allowing the reference answers to serve as prompts. Most questions are in Sections 1, 2, and 3, so pay attention to the different ways questions are asked. Pay special attention to Section 3, as the questions are not only relatively easier but also more relevant to your real-life situation. Section 4 questions often involve personal opinions and perspectives.
