The IELTS Speaking test is intended to measure a variety of abilities. The questions and themes are not designed to assess your intelligence. It is not important to possess the knowledge of the topic but to possess the knowledge of the language- English.
The speaking part of the IELTS consists of 3 parts:
- The first part asks you to speak on general topics, like, self-introduction, description about your friend/ family/ town, Description of your neighbours. You will mainly have to speak about the people you know and places you know in the first part. This part lasts about 5-6 minutes. And to be a confident person is an important aspect for this. Confidence is an essential parameter for judging.
- In the second part, you will be asked to describe a certain topic decided on the spot by the examiner, followed by the third part in which you will elaborate on the topic you’ve been asked about in the former part.
