What questions will I get in the IELTS test?

This is one of the most common things that students ask me.

The problem is that there are hundreds of possible topics, so trying to prepare an answer for every question is almost impossible.

But here's the good news.

Although the topics change, the question types repeat again and again.

Once you learn how to recognize these common question types, answering becomes much easier.

In this lesson, I'm going to show you the eight question types you should prepare before your IELTS speaking test.

For each one, I'll teach you vocabulary

that you can use across a range of different topics and give you a natural model answer.

This isn't about memorising scripts, it's about building a set of reliable tools that will help you answer unfamiliar questions confidently and naturally.

My name is Eli and I was an IELTS examiner for many years.

I now put all of my best tips and advice in my IELTS courses.

My IELTS courses have already helped thousands of students achieve their desired IELTS score

and you can start them all for free at englishprotips .com.

Let's get started.

Do you like?

What's your favorite?

Do you prefer?

One of the most common question types in IELTS speaking is about your preferences.

The examiner might ask, do you like cooking?

What's your favorite season?

Do you prefer tea or coffee?

The good news is that all of these questions require very similar language.

So instead of preparing answers for hundreds of different topics, learn a few useful expressions that you can use almost anywhere.

For example, instead of simply saying I like, try saying I'd have to say.

For example, I'd have to say Italian food is probably my favorite

because it's delicious and there are so many different dishes to choose from.

This expression works brilliantly whenever you're talking about your favorite things.

You can also replace I like with I'm quite keen on.

For example I'm quite keen on hiking because it's a great way to unwind and get some fresh air.

This sounds much more natural than simply repeating I like again and again.

When the examiner asks you to choose between two things like coffee or tea, don't just say coffee.

Instead say, I personally prefer.

For example, I personally prefer coffee because it helps me to wake up in the morning.

Finally, a great way to explain your preference is what I like most about it is.

For example, what I like most about hiking is that I can spend time with my friends while I'm doing it.

Again, this expression works with almost any topic.

Let's put it all together.

Do you like cooking?

I'm quite keen on cooking to be honest.

What I like most about it is that it's a great way to switch off after work.

I know a lot of people like eating out

but I personally prefer home cooking because it's much healthier and much cheaper as well.

Notice that I never said I like, I like, I like.

Instead I use several different expressions that you can also reuse in dozens of different IELTS topics.

If you really want to improve your IELTS answers what i suggest is

that after this video you go to the lesson in the description do the quizzes

and then write your own answer for this question try to

use at least two of today's expressions in your answer you'll get feedback on your answer

and a corrected version to help you study remember guys practice makes perfect you can get all this

and more at englishprotips .com Another very common question type in IELTS speaking is about your habits and routines.

The examiner might ask, how often do you cook?

Do you usually exercise?

Or do you often go to the cinema?

Once again, instead of preparing answers for hundreds of different topics, learn a few useful expressions that you can use almost anywhere.

Instead of saying every week or sometimes, try saying on a regular basis.

For example, I go to the gym on a regular basis because it helps me to stay healthy.

This expression works for almost any hobby or routine.

Another useful expression is whenever I get the chance.

For example, whenever I get the chance, I like to go hiking with my friends.

This shows that you enjoy doing something even if you don't have the opportunity very often.

If you don't do something very often, instead of saying not much or not often, try saying every once in a while.

For example, I eat out every once in a while, but I usually prefer cooking at home.

Finally, if you want to say that you do something very rarely, try using hardly ever.

For example, I hardly ever watch television these days because I usually prefer reading or listening to podcasts.

let's put it all together.

How often do you go to the cinema?

To be honest, I only get to go every once in a while because I'm usually quite busy with work.

Having said that, whenever I get the chance, I really enjoy going with my girlfriend because I love discussing the movie afterwards with her.

However, we hardly ever have the same opinion on films because our tastes are so different.

Notice how many phrases I showed the examiner for describing frequency.

Every once in a while, whenever I get the chance, and hardly ever.

This shows the examiner that I have a wide range of vocabulary, which helps me to get a high score for lexical results.

In the IELTS test, examiners love to ask about your past experiences.

Did you enjoy reading as a child?

Have you ever been to a live concert?

Or when was the last time you travelled by taxi?

Let's learn some useful phrases that you can use for talking about the past.

One of the most useful expressions is I used to.

For example, I used to play football every weekend but I don't really have time these days.

This is a great way to talk about habits that have changed over time.

Another useful expression is the last time I.

For example, the last time I went to the cinema was a few weeks ago

when some friends invited me to watch the latest Mission Impossible film.

Now if the examiner asks have you ever a great expression is I've only once.

For example I've only been scuba diving once but I definitely love to do it again.

Finally if something has never happened instead of just saying no try saying I've never really.

For example I've never really enjoyed running

because I've always preferred team sports let's put it all together did you play any team sports

when you were younger yeah i used to play for my

school football team however the last time i played was probably

around five years ago at a friend's birthday to be honest

since then i've only really been into individual sports like climbing

because i can fit them around my schedule notice

that i didn't just answer yes i did instead i talked about the past using used to

and then i compared it to the present and how nowadays I do more climbing.

Comparing the past and present is a great way to extend your answers when you get asked questions about the past.

If you want to practice this then go to the lesson below where you can download the PDF, do quizzes and even get AI feedback on your writing.

What I'd recommend is to first watch the video until the end, then do the quizzes one by one and then write your own answers

100

and get ai feedback finally the next day review the pdf

101

and write your answers to these questions again this spaced repetition

102

is what really helps you to learn remember you can start

103

all of my ielts courses for free at englishprotips .com another

104

very common question type in ielts speaking is about the future the examiner might ask would you like to learn another language.

105

Do you think you'll move house one day?

106

Are you planning to travel anywhere soon?

107

Instead of always saying I want to, try saying I'd love to.

108

For example, I'd love to visit Japan one day because I've always been fascinated by the culture.

109

This sounds much more natural and enthusiastic.

110

Another useful expression is I'm hoping to.

111

For example, I'm hoping to learn Spanish over the next couple of years because I travel there quite a lot.

112

This is a great way to talk about something you'd like to achieve in the future.

113

If you're already thinking seriously about doing something, try saying I'm planning to.

114

For example, I'm planning to buy my first house in the next few years.

115

Also, if you want to say that you don't expect something to change anytime soon, you can use the expression for the foreseeable future.

116

For example, for the foreseeable future, I think I'll continue working from home.

117

Finally, if you're thinking about something that isn't a definite plan, you can say at some point.

118

For example, at some point, I'd like to start my own business.

119

This sounds much more natural than simply saying one day.

120

Let's put it all together.

121

Would you like to learn another language?

122

Yeah, I'd love to actually.

123

I'm hoping to learn Spanish because I travel there quite a lot.

124

I'm planning to take some online lessons after this year for the foreseeable future though, I think I'll probably keep learning online because it fits around my work.

125

At some point, I'd also like to spend a few months living in Spain so I can become more fluent.

126

Notice how my answer moves through different levels of certainty.

127

I'd love to expresses a wish.

128

I'm hoping to expresses an intention.

129

I'm planning to describes a concrete plan for this foreseeable future explains why to happen over the next few months or years.

130

Finally, at some point introduces my long -term goal.

131

Learning to express these different levels of certainty will help you give much more natural answers in your IELTS test.

132

When you're writing your own answer to this question, see if you can follow the structures of my answer.

133

Practice using I'd love to, I'm hoping to, I'm planning to, foreseeable future and at some point.

134

Remember, the more time that you spend practicing these phrases now in your preparation time,

135

the more natural you'll be able to use these phrases in your real IELTS test.

136

Within the IELTS test, you are guaranteed to get a question asking you to describe something.

137

The examiner might ask, what's your hometown like?

138

Can you describe the area where you live how would you

139

describe your favorite teacher instead of relying on simple adjectives like nice good

140

or interesting try learning a few expressions

141

that help you give fuller more natural descriptions a really really useful pattern is it's the kind of for example

142

if you're describing a place you can say it's the kind of place where everybody knows each other

143

if you're describing a person you can say she's the kind of person who always puts other people first.

144

If you're describing a hobby you can say it's the kind of hobby that helps you switch off after a busy day.

145

Rather than memorizing a different phrase for every topic simply change the noun place,

146

person, hobby, school, film or tradition and then choose where, who or that depending on what you're describing.

147

Another useful expression is what I like most about it is.

148

For example, what I like most about it is how peaceful it is.

149

This helps you explain the best feature of something rather than simply listing adjectives.

150

You can also use one thing that stands out is.

151

For example, one thing that stands out is the incredible architecture.

152

This is a natural way to highlight the most memorable aspects of a place or a person.

153

Finally, if you want to add a little balance to your answer, try saying having said that.

154

For example, having said that it can get quite crowded during the summertime.

155

This shows that you're able to describe both the positive and negative aspects of something.

156

Let's put it all together.

157

Tell me about your best friend.

158

Well actually I've got lots of very close friends rather than one specific best friend

159

but I consider my friend Kat to be one of my best friends.

160

We've known each other for years and we got on very well.

161

She's the type of person who always puts other people first

162

and what I've always liked most about her is how she looks out for those around her.

163

One thing that stands out is how many of our mutual friends go to her when they're having a difficult time.

164

Having said that she can be a little bit stubborn at times but I think that's just part of her personality.

165

Notice how my answer becomes more detailed one idea at a time.

166

I started by naturally qualifying in the question instead of pretending

167

i only have one best friend then i used she's the

168

type of person who to give a general description a pattern

169

you can easily adapt for other ielts topics by changing the

170

noun next what i like about her is highlights my favorite quality

171

while one thing that stands out draws attention to her most distinctive characteristic finally having said that adds a contrasting idea,

172

making the description sound more developed and balanced.

173

IELTS examiners love you to compare things.

174

They'll often ask questions like, is your hometown the same now as it was when you were growing up?

175

Do you prefer living in the city or the countryside?

176

Are paper books better than e -books?

177

Instead of simply saying A is better than B, try learning a few expressions that help you make more balanced comparisons.

178

A really useful one is compared to.

179

For example, compared to London, Edinburgh feels much more relaxed.

180

This is a natural way to introduce a comparison.

181

Another useful expression is while.

182

For example, I enjoy going to the cinema while my brother prefers watching films at home.

183

This helps you compare two people or ideas in the same sentence.

184

You can also use on the other hand.

185

For example, living in the countryside is much quieter.

186

On the other hand, there aren't as many job opportunities.

187

This is a great way to acknowledge both sides of an argument.

188

Finally, if there isn't one clear answer, try saying it comes down to.

189

For example, I think it comes down to personal preference.

190

This shows that you're considering different perspectives rather than giving an overly simple answer.

191

Let's put it all together.

192

Do you prefer living in the city or the countryside?

193

I'd probably say the city.

194

Compared to the countryside, there's a lot more to do, especially in the evenings.

195

While the countryside is definitely quieter and more peaceful, I enjoy having restaurants, cafes and public transport right on my doorstep.

196

On the other hand, if I wanted a slower pace of life, the countryside would probably be the better choice.

197

So I think it really comes down to what stage of life you're in and what you're looking for.

198

Notice how I didn't simply say I prefer the city.

199

Instead, I compared the two options from several different angles, compared to, introduced the comparison while highlighted the main differences,

200

and on the other hand, showed that I could also recognize the advantages of the opposite position.

201

Finally, it comes down to, explains that there isn't one objectively correct answer.

202

It depends on the situation.

203

This kind of balanced comparison sounds much more thoughtful and natural than simply saying one thing is better than another.

204

In general, part one questions are usually about your experiences and part three is more about your opinions.

205

However, sometimes you still get asked part one questions that ask for your opinion.

206

The examiner might ask, do you think children should have homework?

207

Do you think your hometown is a good place for younger people?

208

Do you think it's important to learn history.

209

Instead of simply saying I think over and over again try learning a few more natural ways to express your opinion.

210

A really useful expression is I'd say.

211

For example I'd say reading is one of the best ways to relax.

212

This sounds much more conversational than simply saying I think.

213

Another useful expression is personally I think.

214

For example personally I think public transport should be cheaper.

215

This makes it clear that you're giving your own view rather than stating a fact.

216

Finally, if your opinion isn't completely certain, try saying I guess.

217

For example, I guess it depends on the individual.

218

This shows that you're willing to acknowledge some uncertainty rather than giving an overly confident answer.

219

Let's put it all together.

220

Do you think it's important to learn history?

221

I'd say it is.

222

Personally, I think learning about the past helps us to understand why the world is the way it is today.

223

History teaches us valuable lessons that can help us avoid making the same mistakes again.

224

Having said that I guess it also depends on how it's taught

225

because it can be quite boring if students are only expected to memorize dates.

226

Notice how I expressed my opinion in several different ways instead of repeatedly saying I think.

227

I'd say introduced my overall point of view personally I think made it clear I was giving my own opinion

228

and I guess softened my final point to show that my opinion wasn't absolute.

229

Varying the way you express your opinions will make your answer sound much more natural and engaging.

230

The final question type you need to prepare for is the follow -up question.

231

In part one almost any question can be followed by a simple why.

232

For example the examiner might ask do you enjoy reading?

233

You answer and then the examiner asks why.

234

Examiners often use these short follow -up questions to encourage you to develop your answer

235

and to make sure part one lasts for the correct amount of time.

236

So even if your first answer feels complete, always be prepared to explain it further.

237

A really useful expression is the main reason is that.

238

For example, the main reason is

239

that reading helps me switch off after work this gives a clear

240

and direct explanation and another useful phrase is i think it's mainly

241

because for example i think it's mainly

242

because reading forces you to focus on the story this sounds natural

243

and less formal you can also say it's probably down to for example it probably comes down to the fact

244

that i've always had a vivid imagination.

245

This is useful when there isn't one simple reason.

246

Let's watch.

247

Do you enjoy reading?

248

Yeah, I do.

249

I tend to read most evenings before I go to bed.

250

Why?

251

I think it's mainly because reading helps me switch off and forget about work for a while.

252

It probably also comes down to habit because I've been reading before bed for many years.

253

Notice

254

that the follow -up question was only one word why however

255

it gave me an opportunity to extend my answer naturally i think it's mainly

256

because introduced my main explanation

257

while it probably also comes down to allowed me to add

258

a second reason you don't need to prepare a separate answer

259

for every possible why question instead practice giving a clear reason and when possible adding a second explanation or a brief example.

260

Most importantly, don't panic when the examiner asks another question.

261

It doesn't mean your first answer was wrong.

262

They may simply want you to say a little more

263

or need to keep part one running for the required amount of time.

264

At this stage, what I would recommend is to go to the lesson, do all the quizzes and write your own answer for these questions.

265

Then download the PDF and review the vocabulary again tomorrow.

266

If you have time, it's a good idea to write your answers again.

267

Remember, you can return to this lesson again and again.

268

Spaced repetition is the best way to learn new vocabulary.

269

The more time you take to practice this language now, the more naturally it will come to you in your exam.

270

Thank you so much for being in this lesson with me.

271

Best of luck with all of your studies and I'll see you in the next lesson.

272

Bye then.

IELTS 스피킹 연습에 이 비디오가 필요한 이유

IELTS 스피킹 시험은 수백 가지 주제가 나올 수 있어 준비하기 어렵지만, 질문 유형은 반복된다는 점이 핵심입니다. 이 비디오는 8가지 핵심 질문 유형을 분석하고, 각 유형에 맞는 자연스러운 표현과 어휘를 제공해줍니다. 외운 답변을 쓰는 것이 아니라 믿을 수 있는 도구를 만들어 모르는 주제도 자신있게 대답할 수 있게 돕습니다. 특히 shadow speak나 영어 회화 연습에 좋은 자료로, 실제 시험 환경에서 사용할 수 있는 표현을 직접 들으면서 연습할 수 있습니다. 빠르게 실력을 향상시키고 싶다면 이 비디오로 기본기를 다지는 것이 가장 효과적입니다!

문맥 속 문법과 표현

이 비디오에서 사용된 핵심 표현 3가지를 알아보세요:

"I'd have to say": 좋아하는 것에 대해 말할 때 "나는~라고 말해야 할 것 같아"로, 더 자연스럽고 공식적인 느낌을 줍니다. 예: "I'd have to say Italian food is my favorite."
"I'm quite keen on": "나는~에 관심이 많아"로, "I like"보다 다양한 표현을 사용할 수 있습니다. 예: "I'm quite keen on hiking."
"What I like most about it is": "그것에서 가장 좋아하는 점은~"으로, 선호하는 이유를 구체적으로 설명할 때 유용합니다. 예: "What I like most about hiking is spending time with friends."

이 표현들은 shadowing site에서 연습하면 빠르게 익힐 수 있습니다. 여러 주제에 적용할 수 있어 시험에서 당황하지 않게 해줍니다!

발음의 함정 주의하기

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음이 몇 가지 있습니다. "prefer"는 [프리퍼]가 아니라 [프리퍼(r)]로 끝 부분에 약간의 "r" 소리를 넣어야 합니다. "unwind"는 [언와인드]가 아니라 [언와인드]로, "w"를 강조하지 않고 부드럽게 발음합니다. 또한 "switch off"는 [스위치 오프]가 아니라 [스위치 오프]로, 연결해서 발음하면 더 자연스러워 보입니다. shadowspeak나 shadow speech 연습을 할 때 이런 부분을 집중적으로 들으면서 따라하면 발음 실수가 줄어듭니다. 작은 차이가 점수에 큰 영향을 미치니 꼭 주의하세요!

이 영상의 문법

화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.

문형	영상 속 표현
“used to” used to + 동사 — 지금은 아닌 과거의 습관이나 상태	used to play
현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때	have already helped · Have you ever been · have changed
수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점	been fascinated · are guaranteed · is compared
관계절 who / which + 절 — 사람이나 사물에 대한 추가 정보	person who always · person who to

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
