2
Well in this video I'll guide you through what to expect at the very start of your IELTS speaking test
3
and share some key vocabulary with you that will help you introduce yourself more confidently.
4
Hello and welcome my name is Emma and in this British Council IELTS preparation video
5
I'm going to explain what you can expect at the start of your IELTS Speaking Test,
6
what the purpose of the Speaking Test is,
7
and some of the most commonly asked questions in the IELTS introduction and interview,
8
with some example answers and vocabulary for you to use.
9
I'll also share some useful tips to help you get the best score in your IELTS Speaking Test.
10
Make sure you watch until the end of this video,
11
as I have some real IELTS Speaking Test questions for you to practice everything you've learned in this lesson.
12
Let's start with what to expect in your IELTS speaking test.
13
There are three parts to the test.
14
The introduction and interview, which we're going to focus on in this video,
15
takes place at the very beginning in part one.
16
Part one is also designed to help you feel more at ease and get you talking more naturally about yourself.
17
The speaking test lasts between 11 and 14 minutes in total.
18
And finally, in the test room it's normally just you and your examiner.
19
The purpose of the IELTS speaking test is to assess your fluency
20
and coherence so that's how clearly you can express yourself and connect your ideas together.
21
The examiner will mark you on your lexical resource which assesses your knowledge and use of vocabulary.
22
You will also be marked on your grammatical range and accuracy as well as your pronunciation.
23
When it comes to pronunciation you will not be marked on your accent nor do IELTS examiners prefer any particular accent.
24
What truly matters is that you communicate your ideas so your examiner can understand you without too much effort.
25
Intelligibility is what matters the most.
26
Now let's look at the most common questions you may be asked in your IELTS speaking introduction and interview.
27
When you first start your speaking test,
28
the examiner will ask you,
29
can you tell me your full name please?
30
Or what can I call you?
31
You can respond with, my name's,
32
I'm, you can call me, or just call me.
33
Next, your examiner will ask you to show your identification.
34
Remember, this must be the same ID you use to register with.
35
Most people will use their passport or national identity card.
36
When your examiner asks for your ID,
37
you can respond with, Sure, here you go.
38
Or, sure, here you are.
39
After you've given your name and ID,
40
your examiner may ask you, Where are you from?
41
You can respond with, I'm from or I'm originally from but I currently live in.
42
You don't need to go into a lot of detail at this stage.
43
Next, your examiner may ask you,
44
can you describe your hometown or can you describe the place where you live?
45
To help you think about what to say,
46
you can talk about the location,
47
the size, what your your hometown is known for or any other personal opinions and experiences.
48
Here's an example answer for you.
49
My hometown is located in the south of Spain and has a population of about 50,000 people.
50
In the past it used to be a booming fishing town with lots of bustling markets happening every weekend.
51
However, nowadays it's pretty quiet and there isn't much to do,
52
but it still managed to keep its really friendly and tight-knit community.
53
You might also be asked what's the most interesting part of your city or country?
54
Here's an example answer.
55
In my opinion, one of the most fascinating aspects of my country is the traditional festivals.
56
My favourite is the Lantern Festival,
57
which is an annual event that's held in various parts of the country.
58
People light paper lanterns and let them go so they start flying through the sky.
59
It's a stunning sight and a beautiful tradition which symbolises the end of the Lunar New Year celebrations.
60
Another topic that may come up in part one is work and studies.
61
When discussing what you do,
62
your examiner may ask you,
63
do you work or are you a student?
64
You can say, I work as a an or I'm currently a student at university, I'm studying.
65
If you say that you work,
66
your examiner may ask you what do you do for a living?
67
You can simply reply with I work as a my job involves I've been working as a for
68
or I'm currently employed as a um my main duties are
69
here's an example answer for you I've been working as a
70
maths teacher for the past 10 years at a secondary school in Cairo my job involves planning
71
and teaching lessons as well as helping to organize the after-school maths club.
72
If you mention that you're a student you may be asked what do you study?
73
You can respond by saying I study and then the topic
74
or I'm studying for my master's degree in.. you can also
75
give a little bit more information too as to why you're studying that.
76
For example, I study medicine at university as my plan is to become a doctor and work in the UK.
77
If you don't to explain why you choose to study the subject,
78
then your examiner may ask you,
79
why did you choose that subject?
80
You can answer this by saying that you aspire to have a certain career,
81
or you have an interest in that topic.
82
Let me give you an example.
83
Honestly, I always knew that I wanted to be a doctor.
84
So deciding to study medicine was a no brainer for me.
85
I come from a long line of doctors and surgeons
86
and I've always had so much admiration for healthcare professionals
87
so I wanted to follow in my parents footsteps and pursue a career in medicine too.
88
Next your examiner may ask you what you do in your free time by saying do you have any hobbies or interests.
89
You can respond with I'm a big fan of,
90
I love or in my spare time I enjoy.
91
For instance, yes my main hobby is photography,
92
especially capturing landscapes because for me it's a way to appreciate the beauty of nature.
93
I've also been told I've got a green thumb which comes in handy as I love gardening.
94
I really enjoy watching my plants grow and thrive.
95
Your examiner may also ask you how do you usually spend your weekends?
96
Here's an example answer for you.
97
Most weekends I like to unwind by spending some time outdoors
98
so I either go hiking in the local forest or I go for a stroll in the nearby park.
99
If it's raining I prefer to curl up on the sofa with a good book and a nice cup of tea.
100
Your examiner may ask you what your daily routine is and say something like what do you do every day?
101
Here's an example answer for you.
102
My day usually begins with an early morning jog around the
103
neighbourhood as I find it's quite a refreshing way to start my day.
104
After that I take a quick shower and then have breakfast,
105
then I head off to work.
106
I work as a nurse so I'm usually kept quite busy throughout the day.
107
I find that my workday changes from day to day but I mainly attend to patients on the ward.
108
In the evening I have a meal with my husband,
109
watch tv then head to bed.
110
Keep in mind that your examiner may also ask you more specific questions about your interests,
111
hobbies and free time.
112
For example they may ask you what's your favourite film or what was the last book you read?
113
Do you like to travel or what is your favourite kind of food?
114
A quick tip to make sure you're more prepared for these
115
specific questions is to create a mental list of things like books,
116
films, places, people, articles, festivals and food that you can talk about.
117
Now let's dive into some tips to help you prepare for the introduction and interview of your IELTS speaking test.
118
The first tip is to not use one word answers.
119
To impress your examiner and show off your vocabulary and grammar be sure to expand on your answers.
120
That said also make sure your answers are clear and concise.
121
Don't repeat yourself and don't stray from the topic.
122
Tip number two, on the day of your test listen to some English language podcasts
123
and watch videos on your way to the test centre.
124
This may help you get in the mood for your test.
125
You can also practice your speaking by doing some shadowing exercises.
126
This involves listening and repeating what you hear in a recording or video.
127
Finally, tip number three.

- Прослушивание: Сначала прослушайте фрагмент видео несколько раз. Обратите внимание на произношение и интонацию говорящего.
- Теневое повторение: Используя метод shadowspeak, повторяйте за спикером, стараясь подражать его произношению и интонации. Это поможет вам улучшить фонетическое восприятие языка.
- Анализ: После того, как вы несколько раз повторили за спикером, запишите свои ответы и сравните их с оригиналом. Обратите внимание на моменты, где ваше произношение отличается.
- Практика: Продолжайте повторять и записывать свои слова, добавляя новые фразы и примеры из видео. Это позволит вам не только улучшить произношение, но и расширить словарный запас.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
