Part 3 of the IELTS test is more like a discussion.

The examiner asks you questions to find out your opinions and then they ask you follow-up questions based on what you've said.

I want to give you five methods you can use to give smarter, clearer and higher scoring answers

and at the end I'll be teaching you the two most useful English words for the IELTS test.

Method 1.

The REE method.

The REE method stands for respond, elaborate, example.

Here's what you do.

First you respond.

You directly respond to the question with your opinion.

This can be short, even just one or two words like yes, no, I agree, sometimes.

Then you elaborate.

Elaborate by explaining your thinking in more detail.

And finally, support your answer with an example.

Doing this helps you to give a coherent, logical answer which will boost your score for fluency and coherence.

Let's see it in action.

Do you think technology has improved communication between people?

Yes, I do actually.

It allows people to stay connected instantly no matter where in the world they are, which wasn't possible in the past.

For instance, family members living abroad can use apps like WhatsApp and Zoom to keep in touch with each other.

Do you think people today have enough leisure time?

Honestly, no. I feel that due to advances in technology and globalization, there is less job security than there used to be,

And this is causing people to work harder and do more for their employers than ever before.

For example, I have a friend who works in marketing and she told me she regularly responds to work messages

at 10 or 11 at night, even at weekends.

She feels that if she doesn't get back to her manager, she'll just be fired or replaced by AI.

Why do you think some people prefer to live in cities rather than in the countryside?

I think it comes down to opportunities.

Cities offer so much more in terms of career options, education, healthcare, entertainment, social connection, and for a lot of people,

especially young people, these things are actually incredibly important.

For example, if you're a young person living in the countryside, chances are it's going to be more difficult to find like-minded people to be friends with

or a range of different jobs that you can try.

A little note on examples.

In part three, you want to avoid talking about yourself too much.

So when it comes to giving reasons or examples, try to talk about other people.

Maybe people in your country, friends, acquaintances, even family members.

rather than talking about yourself too much.

Method two, hedging.

Hedging is something that high-level students tend to do naturally.

Hedging means softening your language so that you don't sound too absolute or overconfident.

Instead of saying, this is true, you say, this tends to be true.

Instead of everyone thinks that, you say many people think that.

Why does this matter?

Well, because in part three, questions are usually about complex social issues.

There are rarely simple answers.

When you hedge, you sound more academic, more thoughtful, and more fluent,

and that pushes you towards band 7 and above.

The four main ways to hedge your language are number one using a hedging verb like tend to, seem to, appear to.

Number two using a modal verb like may, might or could.

Number three, using certain introductory phrases like I believe many people think.

Number four, using certain quantifiers and adverbs like many and often rather than all and always.

So for example, instead of saying elderly people enjoy going for walks in their free time,

we could say elderly people tend to enjoy going for walks in their free time,

or elderly people may enjoy going for walks in their free time,

or many people believe that elderly people prefer going for walks in their free time,

or even many elderly people often enjoy going for walks in their free time,

you can learn more about hedging in the pdf below this lesson.

Let's see it in action.

Is it better to work alone or in a team?

I'd say it really depends on the situation, but people often tend to benefit more from working in a team.

It seems that teamwork allows individuals to share ideas and solve problems more effectively,

although some people might find it difficult if there are disagreements.

Personally, I think working alone can be more productive for tasks that require deep concentration,

but in general teams are likely to achieve better results overall.

Do you think social media has had a negative impact on society?

Well, I'd say it's had a mixed impact, to be honest.

But while it can be useful for staying in contact with friends and family, Many people also mention how they can feel addicted to social media

and waste hours away doing something that doesn't usually feel productive.

Probably the most important thing is how you tend to use social media.

Do you have control over social media or does it have control over you?

Do you think governments should control what people eat?

Hmm I'd say that's a rather controversial area.

On the one hand, it might be reasonable to suggest that governments have some responsibility for public health,

and that could potentially justify things like sugar taxes or restrictions on advertising unhealthy food to children.

On the other hand, many people would argue that personal freedom should be prioritized

and that it's not really the government's place to dictate lifestyle choices.

So I tend to think that there's a middle ground, like regulation rather than outright control.

Method three, the multiple perspectives method.

This method is fantastic for questions that ask why do people or how do different groups feel about.

The idea is simple.

You consider the topic from two or three different viewpoints before giving your own conclusion.

This shows the examiner that you can think critically.

It's very much a band 7 plus skill and it's also great

if you ask to give your opinion on something you've generally not considered or thought about before.

Do you think working from home is a good idea?

I think it depends on the person and their situation.

From an employee's perspective, working from home can be very convenient

because it saves time on commuting and allows for a better work-life balance.

However, from an employer's point of view, it might be more difficult to manage staff and ensure productivity.

Also, if we consider younger workers,

they may prefer going into the office as it gives them more opportunities to socialize and learn from colleagues.

What is more important, job satisfaction or salary?

I think this really depends on the person's background and circumstances.

From one perspective, for someone who grew up in financial hardship, earning money isn't just a preference, it's a survival priority.

For them, job satisfaction might feel like a luxury they just can't afford.

However, there are also other people who feel that job satisfaction is more important.

For these people they might be willing to accept lower pay in order to do something that fulfills them.

For me personally, I've had moments in my life where salary feels more important

and and other moments where satisfaction feels more important.

100

How do older generations and younger generations differ in their attitude towards the environment?

101

That's a really interesting comparison.

102

Generally speaking, younger generations tend to have a much stronger sense of urgency around environmental issues,

103

partly because they've grown up hearing about climate change and partly because they'll live with the consequences for longer.

104

Older generations on the other hand sometimes view environmental concerns through a more economic lens,

105

worrying that aggressive green policies could cost jobs or raise living costs.

106

Of course this isn't universal, there are plenty of older people who are deeply passionate about conservation.

107

But broadly speaking there does seem to be a generational divide in terms of how immediate the threat feels.

108

Method four, the rule of two.

109

The rule of two is a very practical technique.

110

What I found is that

111

when answering IELTS questions it's usually pretty easy to think of two reasons

112

or two examples but it gets much more difficult to give three or more reasons or examples.

113

So what you can do is say things like there are basically two reasons why I believe that firstly,

114

secondly, or I'd say there are two ways,

115

firstly, in addition, when you do this you're showing that you can structure your answer in a logical way which

116

boosts your score for fluency and coherence.

117

Let's see it in action.

118

Why do people choose to live in cities?

119

I think there are two main reasons why people choose to live in cities.

120

Firstly, cities tend to offer more job opportunities,

121

especially in specialized fields, which makes it easier for young people to build their career.

122

Secondly, urban areas have better facilities such as public transport, health care, and entertainment options.

123

Because of these advantages many people feel that city life is more convenient and provides a higher quality of life.

124

Why do you think tourism has increased so much in recent decades?

125

Well I'd say there are two main reasons for this.

126

Firstly the cost of international travel has dropped dramatically.

127

Budget airlines have made it possible for ordinary people to fly to destinations

128

that would have been completely out of reach just 30 years ago.

129

And secondly, the rise of social media has created a kind of global inspiration engine.

130

People see photos of beautiful locations online and immediately want to visit them.

131

So it's really a combination of accessibility and aspiration that has meant that tourism has increased so much.

132

What are the advantages of working from home?

133

Well I can think of two significant downsides.

134

The first is the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life.

135

When your office is your living room it becomes very difficult

136

to mentally switch off at the end of the day which can lead to burnout.

137

The second disadvantage is the loss of spontaneous collaboration,

138

those informal conversations by the coffee machine or in the corridor where people

139

where people are often get to meet and ideas are often born.

140

Remote work can make a team feel quite disconnected and that can actually slow down creativity and innovation.

141

Method five, two amazing words.

142

Before you go to do the quizzes below this lesson I want to tell you the two most important words in IELTS.

143

I wonder if you can guess what I'm about to say.

144

The two most important words are It depends.

145

It depends is so useful because it allows you to naturally expand on your answer.

146

The key is that you mustn't say it depends and stop there.

147

You have to follow it up by explaining what it depends on and then exploring those conditions.

148

That's where the marks are.

149

Here are some powerful ways to use it depends.

150

Well, I think it really depends on the context.

151

Specifically, that's not something I can answer with a simple yes or no, because it varies enormously depending on...

152

It depends on who you're talking about.

153

For some people

154

whereas for others I'd say the answer changes quite significantly depending

155

on the country in places like it tends to be the case that but elsewhere.

156

Is it better to travel alone or with other people.

157

I think it depends on the person and the purpose of the trip.

158

If someone wants freedom and independence, traveling alone can be a better option because they can make their own decisions and follow their own schedule.

159

However, if the goal is to relax and enjoy shared experiences,

160

traveling with others might be more enjoyable as it allows people to create memories together.

161

Overall both options have their advantages depending on what the traveller is looking for.

162

Do you think it's better for children to grow up in the city or the countryside?

163

Honestly I think it depends entirely on what you prioritise for your child's development.

164

If you believe that academic opportunity,

165

access to resources and social diversity are the most important things then the city is probably the better environment,

166

but if you think that space, freedom, safety and a connection to nature are more important, then the countryside has enormous advantages.

167

Personally, I'd say the ideal is somewhere in between a smaller city or a larger town, but I don't think there's a universal right answer here.

168

It genuinely depends on the family and the child.

169

Should university education be free for everyone?

170

I think it genuinely depends on the country we're talking about.

171

In a wealthy, high-tax nation with strong public finances, somewhere like Norway or Denmark,

172

free university education is absolutely viable and I think highly desirable because it removes financial barriers and creates a more equal society.

173

But in lower income countries with more pressing spending priorities, things like healthcare, infrastructure, primary education,

174

making university completely free might not be the most responsible use of limited public funds.

175

So rather than saying yes or no outright, I'd say the right answer depends on the economic reality of the specific country

176

and what its population needs most at that particular moment in time.

177

All right, let's bring it all together.

178

Today you've learned five methods for IELTS speaking part three.

179

Number one, the REE method, respond, elaborate, example.

180

Number two, hedging, softening your language to sound more academic and thoughtful.

181

Three, the multiple perspectives method, which is looking at issues from two or three angles before giving your own conclusion.

182

Number four, the rule of two, giving two reasons or two examples or two consequences,

183

and five, the importance of it depends for giving clear, clever, considered answers.

184

Thank you so much for studying with me and good luck with the quizzes below this lesson.

Ciao!
