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.

Writing Test Task 2
*** WRITING TEST TASK 2 ***
There are a number of standard “phrases” required when writing a “Task Two” essay for the IELTS Writing Test, and candidates often use these incorrectly.
For example, when introducing an opinion people often write, “In my opinion”, which is, of course, correct. But this introductory phase often gets written as “In my idea” or even “In my thinking”, which are far from correct.
Aside from this, candidates often get mixed up and use incorrect word forms (for example, a noun rather than a verb, etc.) in their sentences.

Common Mistakes in Writing Task 2
Common Mistakes in Writing Task 2
Below are some extremely common mistakes made by candidates in their Writing Task 2 essays. Can you correct them?
1. In the present time
2. Due to globalization, we have western products in my country.
3. There are many problems in the social
4. The traffic is very jam
5. There are many drug addicted
Answers:
1. Should be ‘at present’.
2. ‘Due to’ cannot go at the beginning of a sentence – it should be: ‘We have western products in my country, due to globalisation’.
3. ‘Social’ is an adjective – should be: ‘society’ (n).
4. ‘Jam’ or ‘traffic jam’ are nouns – here you need an adjective to describe the traffic, so it should be: ‘The traffic is very jammed’… although nobody ever says that – just try ‘the traffic is bad’ or something similar.
5. ‘Addicted’ is an adjective – should be: ‘drug-addicts’ (n)
