1
What questions will I get in the IELTS test?
Tôi sẽ nhận được những câu hỏi nào trong bài thi IELTS?
2
This is one of the most common things that students ask me.
3
The problem is that there are hundreds of possible topics, so trying to prepare an answer for every question is almost impossible.
4
But here's the good news.
5
Although the topics change, the question types repeat again and again.
6
Once you learn how to recognize these common question types, answering becomes much easier.
7
In this lesson, I'm going to show you the eight question types you should prepare before your IELTS speaking test.
8
For each one, I'll teach you vocabulary
9
that you can use across a range of different topics and give you a natural model answer.
10
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.
11
My name is Eli and I was an IELTS examiner for many years.
12
I now put all of my best tips and advice in my IELTS courses.
13
My IELTS courses have already helped thousands of students achieve their desired IELTS score
14
and you can start them all for free at englishprotips .com.
15
Let's get started.
16
Do you like?
17
What's your favorite?
18
Do you prefer?
19
One of the most common question types in IELTS speaking is about your preferences.
20
The examiner might ask, do you like cooking?
21
What's your favorite season?
22
Do you prefer tea or coffee?
23
The good news is that all of these questions require very similar language.
24
So instead of preparing answers for hundreds of different topics, learn a few useful expressions that you can use almost anywhere.
25
For example, instead of simply saying I like, try saying I'd have to say.
26
For example, I'd have to say Italian food is probably my favorite
27
because it's delicious and there are so many different dishes to choose from.
28
This expression works brilliantly whenever you're talking about your favorite things.
29
You can also replace I like with I'm quite keen on.
30
For example I'm quite keen on hiking because it's a great way to unwind and get some fresh air.
31
This sounds much more natural than simply repeating I like again and again.
32
When the examiner asks you to choose between two things like coffee or tea, don't just say coffee.
33
Instead say, I personally prefer.
34
For example, I personally prefer coffee because it helps me to wake up in the morning.
35
Finally, a great way to explain your preference is what I like most about it is.
36
For example, what I like most about hiking is that I can spend time with my friends while I'm doing it.
37
Again, this expression works with almost any topic.
38
Let's put it all together.
39
Do you like cooking?
40
I'm quite keen on cooking to be honest.
41
What I like most about it is that it's a great way to switch off after work.
42
I know a lot of people like eating out
43
but I personally prefer home cooking because it's much healthier and much cheaper as well.
44
Notice that I never said I like, I like, I like.
45
Instead I use several different expressions that you can also reuse in dozens of different IELTS topics.
46
If you really want to improve your IELTS answers what i suggest is
47
that after this video you go to the lesson in the description do the quizzes
48
and then write your own answer for this question try to
49
use at least two of today's expressions in your answer you'll get feedback on your answer
50
and a corrected version to help you study remember guys practice makes perfect you can get all this
51
and more at englishprotips .com Another very common question type in IELTS speaking is about your habits and routines.
52
The examiner might ask, how often do you cook?
53
Do you usually exercise?
54
Or do you often go to the cinema?
55
Once again, instead of preparing answers for hundreds of different topics, learn a few useful expressions that you can use almost anywhere.
56
Instead of saying every week or sometimes, try saying on a regular basis.
57
For example, I go to the gym on a regular basis because it helps me to stay healthy.
58
This expression works for almost any hobby or routine.
59
Another useful expression is whenever I get the chance.
60
For example, whenever I get the chance, I like to go hiking with my friends.
61
This shows that you enjoy doing something even if you don't have the opportunity very often.
62
If you don't do something very often, instead of saying not much or not often, try saying every once in a while.
63
For example, I eat out every once in a while, but I usually prefer cooking at home.
64
Finally, if you want to say that you do something very rarely, try using hardly ever.
65
For example, I hardly ever watch television these days because I usually prefer reading or listening to podcasts.
66
let's put it all together.
67
How often do you go to the cinema?
68
To be honest, I only get to go every once in a while because I'm usually quite busy with work.
69
Having said that, whenever I get the chance, I really enjoy going with my girlfriend because I love discussing the movie afterwards with her.
70
However, we hardly ever have the same opinion on films because our tastes are so different.
71
Notice how many phrases I showed the examiner for describing frequency.
72
Every once in a while, whenever I get the chance, and hardly ever.
73
This shows the examiner that I have a wide range of vocabulary, which helps me to get a high score for lexical results.
74
In the IELTS test, examiners love to ask about your past experiences.
75
Did you enjoy reading as a child?
76
Have you ever been to a live concert?
77
Or when was the last time you travelled by taxi?
78
Let's learn some useful phrases that you can use for talking about the past.
79
One of the most useful expressions is I used to.
80
For example, I used to play football every weekend but I don't really have time these days.
81
This is a great way to talk about habits that have changed over time.
82
Another useful expression is the last time I.
83
For example, the last time I went to the cinema was a few weeks ago
84
when some friends invited me to watch the latest Mission Impossible film.
85
Now if the examiner asks have you ever a great expression is I've only once.
86
For example I've only been scuba diving once but I definitely love to do it again.
87
Finally if something has never happened instead of just saying no try saying I've never really.
88
For example I've never really enjoyed running
89
because I've always preferred team sports let's put it all together did you play any team sports
90
when you were younger yeah i used to play for my
91
school football team however the last time i played was probably
92
around five years ago at a friend's birthday to be honest
93
since then i've only really been into individual sports like climbing
94
because i can fit them around my schedule notice
95
that i didn't just answer yes i did instead i talked about the past using used to
96
and then i compared it to the present and how nowadays I do more climbing.
97
Comparing the past and present is a great way to extend your answers when you get asked questions about the past.
98
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.
99
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.

Ai Là Người Thích Hợp Với Video Này?
Video này dành cho những học viên chuẩn bị thi IELTS và muốn cải thiện khả năng nói của mình. Nếu bạn là người mới bắt đầu hoặc đã có một nền tảng tiếng Anh nhất định nhưng cần nâng cao kỹ năng giao tiếp, video này sẽ cung cấp cho bạn những mẹo hữu ích. Bạn sẽ được hướng dẫn cách nhận diện các loại câu hỏi thường gặp trong phần thi nói của IELTS, từ đó giúp bạn tự tin hơn khi trả lời. Hãy cùng khám phá những bí quyết này để đạt được điểm số mong muốn trong kỳ thi IELTS nhé!
Các Từ Và Thành Ngữ Đáng Giá Để Học Hỏi
Khi nói về sở thích, có một số cụm từ mà bạn nên ghi nhớ để làm cho câu trả lời của mình phong phú hơn. Dưới đây là một số biểu thức nổi bật:
- I'd have to say: Thay vì chỉ nói "Tôi thích," bạn có thể sử dụng cụm này để thể hiện ý kiến cá nhân, ví dụ: "I'd have to say Italian food is probably my favorite."
- I'm quite keen on: Cụm này giúp bạn diễn đạt sở thích của mình một cách tự nhiên hơn, ví dụ: "I'm quite keen on hiking because it's a great way to unwind."
- I personally prefer: Khi phải chọn giữa hai thứ, bạn có thể dùng nó, ví dụ: "I personally prefer coffee because it helps me to wake up."
- What I like most about it is: Dùng cụm này để giải thích lý do bạn thích một hoạt động nào đó, ví dụ: "What I like most about hiking is that I can spend time with my friends."
Sử dụng những cụm từ này sẽ không chỉ giúp bạn trở nên linh hoạt hơn trong giao tiếp mà còn tạo ấn tượng với giám khảo.
Cách Để Có Phát Âm Chuẩn
Khi nói tiếng Anh, phát âm là một yếu tố quan trọng không kém gì nội dung. Để cải thiện phát âm tiếng anh chuẩn, hãy chú ý đến ngữ điệu và cách nhấn âm. Một mẹo hay là bạn nên luyện phát âm qua các video hoặc audio có sẵn, áp dụng phương pháp shadowing để bắt chước cách diễn đạt và âm điệu. Thực hành shadow speech sẽ giúp bạn nghe và nói tiếng Anh tự nhiên hơn. Hãy thử lặp lại các câu mẫu từ video, đồng thời ghi âm lại giọng nói của mình để tự đánh giá. Nếu bạn kiên trì luyện tập, bạn sẽ thấy sự cải thiện rõ rệt trong khả năng giao tiếp của mình.
Đừng quên rằng việc luyện nói tiếng anh mỗi ngày sẽ giúp bạn thành thạo hơn, vì vậy hãy bắt đầu ngay hôm nay và biến những cụm từ đã học thành của riêng bạn!
Ngữ pháp trong video
Những cấu trúc người nói dùng nhiều nhất, kèm đúng cụm từ trong video:
| Cấu trúc | Trong video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + động từ — thói quen hoặc tình trạng trong quá khứ nay không còn | used to play |
| Thì hiện tại hoàn thành have/has + quá khứ phân từ — việc đã xảy ra nhưng còn liên quan đến hiện tại | have already helped · Have you ever been · have changed |
| Câu bị động be + quá khứ phân từ — nhấn vào việc xảy ra, không phải người làm | been fascinated · are guaranteed · is compared |
| Mệnh đề quan hệ who / which + mệnh đề — thêm thông tin về người hoặc vật | person who always · person who to |
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
