Phase 3 : IELTS Speaking Test
Phase 3 is where the final score is given to a candidate. This is the part of the test where you must excel. Do the best that you can here without trying too hard or getting yourself into problems. Although a number of sources suggest that scores are averaged between the three phases of the speaking test, this stage is where the ‘ceiling’ is established – you can’t get a higher score than your performance in phase 3.
Phase 3 is much more like a conversation between you and the assessor. Here he/she doesn’t have a script and can ask you anything he/she wants. If you go off topic, the assessor will make attempts to make sure you stay on topic – there’s no point in rehearsing a speech!
Amongst other things, in Phase 3 you will be asked to speculate about the future, give an opinion, suggest a solution to a problem, or describe a process or procedure. Try to come up with a complete answer. If you are asked how you would solve traffic problems worldwide, don’t just talk about buying more buses; consider where the money for the buses would come from, explain how you would raise the money for the buses and persuade people who to use them. This will certainly impress the assessor.
Make eye contact with the assessor. Although theoretically, you could speak great English with your head down, the fact is you may not come across as confident. Although there is no mark for confidence, you need to present yourself in a positive way as possible.

Phase 2 Tips : Speaking Test
In Phase 2 of the speaking test. You are asked to make a presentation on a topic. It will always be something person, like talking about a holiday you went on. After the test, many candidates suggest they didn’t know about the topic which is why they couldn’t answer the question. Clearly, this can’t be the case. What they mean is they couldn’t answer the question because they couldn’t think of what to say. If this is the case for you, during the one minute you have to prepare, brainstorm your answer. For example, the assessor my ask you to talk about a holiday you really enjoyed. On you piece of paper, write down questions words:
Where?
When?
Why?
What?
Who with?
How?
Etc.
When you have asked the questions, answer them:
Where? Dehradun
When? last year
Why? celebrate end exams
What? climbed hills / water rafting
Who with? uni friends
How? bus from Delhi to Dehradun Etc.

Improve your Speaking IELTS score
Everyone knows that the person’s first language affects the way they sound when they speak English. For example a person whose first language is Arabic will sound different speaking English from a person whose first language is Polish. But do you know why?
The answer is simple: mouth position. Mouth position means whether your mouth is open or closed most of the time when you speak (whether your jaws, upper and lower teeth, are close together or wide apart).
Many people automatically use the mouth position typical to their first language when speaking English and it makes their speech harder to understand. The reason we’re bringing this up is that once you know what affects your pronunciation, you can work on it, and thus improve your Speaking IELTS score.
Georgie Taylor, a Speech Pathologist and accent specialist with over 9 years of experience, says that to speak English more like a native speaker (and therefore more clearly) you need to open and close your mouth quite a lot – compared to languages such as Japanese, Cantonese or Russian

Speaking Test Tips
SPEAKING TEST TIPS:
Tips:
1. Don’t try to memorise answers to topics because the examiner will know this is what you are doing when you speak. It is much better to just try to communicate as best as you can with the examiner.
2. You are marked on how naturally you speak English, not how quickly or how long. Try to communicate with the examiner as you would with other people and don’t just try to “fill” the time with words.
