Many students think to get a band 7 in IELTS speaking, they need more advanced vocabulary or more complex grammar.

But that is not always the problem.

You may know enough English, but you can't use it effectively.

So in this video, I'm going to show you five practical tips to help you answer IELTS questions more effectively

so you can move from a band 5 or 6 towards a band 7.

Let's do it.

Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy, here to help you become a more confident speaker of English.

So in this video, I'm going to give you five practical tips to help you give more effective answers in IELTS speaking

and move from a band five to a band seven.

Oh, and stay until the end, because I have a bonus tip for you that most teachers don't talk about.

And of course, there is a free PDF you can download here with a summary of these tips,

but also lots of extra model answers based on recent IELTS topics.

There's a link in the description below to get that.

Let's begin with tip number one.

So number one, answer the question directly.

Don't spend the first five seconds thinking about your answer or giving lots of background information.

No, start with the answer, especially in IELTS Speaking Part 1.

Okay, this is important because it helps you begin, but it also makes the answer easier to follow for the examiner.

So give the answer in the first sentence and then add a reason or some detail.

Actually, that's a nice framework.

Answer directly plus reason or detail.

For example, do you enjoy cooking?

Well, cooking is something many people do every day and there are many different kinds of cooking in my country.

Okay, I'm speaking, but it's not a good answer.

I've not answered the question.

Much better would be, yes, I do, especially at the weekends.

I normally make something simple like pasta or curry.

I actually find cooking quite relaxing. Can you see?

Answer directly.

I didn't begin with the history of cooking.

I began with, yes, I do, and then a detail.

So remember, answer the question directly.

Let's move on.

Number two, develop one clear idea.

A developed answer is not just a long answer.

It's an answer where each sentence adds something useful.

Okay.

This is especially true in part three, where you're expected to give an opinion and develop an idea.

discuss more abstract ideas in detail.

Don't just ramble.

This is important, right?

Because you need to show the examiner you can speak at length, you can organize ideas with coherence,

and you can explore an idea in more detail.

So my suggestion is give an opinion, say the reason why, and then also explain the results or give an explanation,

but just one idea, okay?

It's kind of thinking, what do I think?

Why do I think that?

And what does that mean?

Let me show you an example.

Let's take a part three question.

Why do some people prefer working from home?

Well, I think they prefer it because it's more convenient.

Okay, that's an opinion, but not really developing an idea.

A better answer would be, I think the main reason is convenience.

People don't have to spend time traveling to work, so they can better organize their day.

And this means they can have maybe more time to spend with their family

or following a hobby or doing some personal matters.

Much better.

Notice the second answer doesn't use very difficult English,

but it takes one idea and develops the idea logically.

That's what you need.

Develop one clear idea.

Here comes tip number three.

Okay, number three, think, but don't overthink.

So take a second to think of what you're going to say, but then don't wait too long.

Start speaking.

Many students just wait too long.

They start trying to get a really good idea.

They start trying to structure the idea, almost like a writing essay before speaking.

And this really doesn't work, especially in IELTS part three, right?

It can have a really negative effect.

What can happen is your hesitation is too long.

You lose your fluency.

It also makes you more nervous.

So you're more likely to go blank.

And also when you start speaking, your English may sound less natural.

Okay.

So my advice here is use the one thing opener.

And that is to focus on just one thing

and start speaking about the one thing and then develop your answer as you're speaking.

This is what you do in real life.

When chatting with friends, you don't listen to a question and go,

you start speaking and then you get more ideas as you speak.

You develop the idea as you speak.

So use the one thing opener.

You can say something like, the one thing about this is, the one thing I would say here is,

I suppose one explanation might be,

I think the main thing about this issue is,

and then develop that one idea.

For example, an IELTS Speaking Part 3 question.

Should governments do more to encourage people to exercise?

I'm thinking of government policies and statistics in my country.

No, don't.

Try something like this.

Yes, probably.

I think one simple thing governments can do is offer free sports facilities.

That might be an outdoor gym in the park or a swimming pool or free classes.

And I think if people had access to these facilities near their home,

they might be more willing to take up sport or do exercise on a regular basis.

100

Here you see a much better answer.

101

Started speaking, develop my answer as I went along, but I had that one thing to help me get started.

102

So think, but don't overthink.

103

Most importantly, start speaking.

104

Focus on the one thing.

105

And right now, let's move on to the next thing.

106

Tip number four.

107

It's coffee time.

108

Oh, if you want to review these tips and see more model answers, download the free PDF.

109

Right now, let's carry on.

110

Tip number four, focus on communication, not forced complexity.

111

What I mean by forced complexity is students trying to use complicated English when it's not necessary.

112

Okay.

113

Yes, for a band seven, you need a range of vocabulary and grammar,

114

but used naturally to express the idea you want to give.

115

The problem is a lot of students try and force the complicated grammar

116

or vocabulary when it doesn't fit and it doesn't sound natural and it doesn't show flexibility.

117

Often we see this when students try to use a memorized idiom

118

and it doesn't work or they're using very formal vocabulary

119

that doesn't fit or they're using extremely long sentences

120

that they have written out and doesn't sound natural and all of this backfires.

121

It will just blow up, doesn't work.

122

What you should do is use simple language when it can express your idea, the idea you want.

123

Use complex language when it helps convey your idea.

124

Paraphrase, if necessary, if you can't get the right word.

125

It's about flexibility.

126

It really is.

127

Let me give you an example.

128

Do you like the area where you live?

129

Yes, I'm over the moon to reside in this breathtaking metropolitan vicinity because it provides a plethora of indispensable amenities.

130

Great answer.

131

No, not a good answer.

132

It will make the examiner laugh for sure, but it's not a good answer.

133

You need to be much more natural.

134

Something like this.

135

Yes, I do.

136

It's a fairly quiet area, but everything I need is within walking distance.

137

What I like most is

138

that I can get into the city centre without having to actually live in the centre of town.

139

Now, that is a much better answer.

140

Simple English and some complex English flexible, expressing the idea I want to convey.

141

So that's it.

142

Remember, communicate clearly, focus on communication, not forced complexity.

143

Let's move on.

144

Number five, give specific examples.

145

This is particularly true in IELTS part three.

146

examples can take a very abstract idea and make it very concrete and easy to follow.

147

They're particularly useful because they can clarify what you're trying to say.

148

They can give you opportunities to use a lot more interesting language.

149

And really, they just help you extend the answer.

150

You need to develop your answers in part three.

151

right?

152

Examples can include, even in part three, a personal example, an example from your country,

153

a hypothetical example, maybe a comparison, a typical person, a typical place.

154

And just note, you can say, for example, but there are different ways you can do this as well.

155

Well, you can introduce an example saying, a good example of this is,

156

take, for example, you can see this when,

157

imagine someone who, or imagine a situation where,

158

all of these are different ways of introducing examples.

159

Let me give you an example all.

160

Why is it difficult for some people to maintain a healthy lifestyle?

161

Well, I think because they're very busy and they don't have enough time.

162

Short answer, not great.

163

Much better would be.

164

Well, one reason is that people are very busy.

165

You know, maybe they've got a hectic schedule.

166

For example, someone who works long hours and has an hour commute to work and home every day,

167

when they get home, they're not going to have the time or energy to cook a healthy meal.

168

They're more likely to pop into a convenience store, buy something cheap and unhealthy and cook that in the microwave.

169

Can you see how it develops the answer?

170

It makes my idea much more concrete and specific,

171

and the opportunity or the language that comes out is much richer,

172

and that's gonna help you get a higher score in your IELTS speaking test.

173

So remember, give examples.

174

Okay, finally, my bonus tip for you is be yourself.

175

Now, sometimes students go into the IELTS speaking test and they try to be a different person.

176

They're trying to impress the examiner, pretend they've got a higher level than they have, trying to be intelligent and sound really, really good.

177

But they're not a real human.

178

They become a robot and they enter robot mode in the test.

179

Now, it's true the examiner evaluates English.

180

Not personality, but they evaluate natural conversational English.

181

And if you have a memorised answer, you sound robotic, it doesn't help.

182

But it does help if you adjust yourself, right?

183

If you can, give your genuine opinions.

184

Talk about your real life experiences.

185

If you don't know about a topic, say, I don't know much about this, but, and they say, then say something.

186

If you like smiling, smile.

187

If you want to show some emotion, give your answers some emotion.

188

Be yourself and you're going to do much better than trying to be someone else.

189

Really, trust me.

190

That's it.

191

That's my bonus tip.

192

So as a quick summary, answer directly.

193

Develop one idea.

194

Start talking.

195

Communicate clearly.

196

Give examples. Be yourself.

197

All of that.

198

Remember, there's a PDF you can download to review these tips,

199

but also get more model answers that can help you learn and practice these tips when you're giving your answers.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
