14 Best Tips for Speaking Module
1. English Grammar
This is the most important thing in the speaking section of the
IELTS exam. Many people think that they just have to speak and they can ignore
the grammar rules, but this is a wrong idea. You can never get more than 4.5
band if you speak the wrong sentences. You should know when to use which tense.
IELTS examiner does not directly test the tenses because they expect you to
know them as all these tenses are taught in class 2 and 3. If you are thinking
of taking the IELTS exam without knowing your tenses then you should prepare
yourself for the Band 4.5 or lower.
2. Stress and Unstressed

You have to apply the stress rule while speaking English. Your
English might be better than your classmate, but the IELTS examiner is not
going to compare your English with the person sitting beside. In fact they are
going to compare your English to a native speaker of English language.
3. Speak clearly
Do not adopt a fake accent and do not mumble. The examiner will
understand when you are trying to adopt a fake accent. There are some people
who start speaking English as if they are in a race. All these people say the
wrong things and they are not able to connect their ideas in a correct manner.
Please refrain from this kind of activity. You will not even be able to speak
you native language in a proper way if you speaking so quickly.
4. be
confident
Show the examiner that you are confident. Do not be shy. Shy
people often speak less and they end up getting a low score. You will have to
be talkative and you will have to engage the examiner into a good conversation.
5. Never say NO
You cannot say no that means that if the examiner asks you to talk
about magazines you cannot tell the examiner that you have never read a
magazine. Even if you have never read a magazine you will have to make it up.
You will have to think about any magazine you can even make up an imaginary
magazine and tell about it to the examiner.
6. Speak English
You should try to speak English with your friends and family. If
you do not have a friend or family member who can speak English, find a person
who can speak English. You can find many people on yahoo groups. You should
also think in English. We all talk to ourselves so when you are making some
plans try to talk to yourself in English.
7. Keep smiling
Everyone likes the people who smile. I am not saying that they
would be biased and they would give you extra marks for smiling. It is just
better to be smiling rather than being sad or angry. I know that it would be
really difficult for you to smile in these kinds of situations, but you should
try to do it.
8. Describe things
You should have the ability to describe things. If the examiner
asks you about your favorite car you should simple day “Toyotta Corolla” You
should say “My favorite car is Toyotta Corolla. I love the Black color,
actually my father was going to buy a car last month and I advised him to buy
Corolla, it is really nice.
9. Similar words
The most common problem amongst people is that people forget the
words while they are speaking English. In order to overcome this problem the
speaker should have at least 3 similar words for teach word he speaks. By
learning the similar words the candidate will never stop while speaking
English. FET SYSTEM and PACANS has provided an excellent exercise for the
practice of similar words in which the students are required to write a similar
word for a word in 4 seconds and a 90-word list has to be completed in 6 months
giving each word 4 seconds.
10. Stop being nervous
The only thing which will decrease your band is your nervousness.
The more nervous you will get the lower band you will get. You should not be so
much nervous because the examiner is not going to beat you say the wrong thing.
As a matter of fact the person who would be asking you the questions would be
very polite.
11. Say complete sentences
One-word answers will not help you get a good score. You will have
to speak complete sentences and you should also have the ability to join two
sentences by the use of conjunctions. It would be a good idea to buy an
English Grammar book.
12. Do not say the truth
What will you do it the IELTS examiner asks you to speak on museum
when you have not even been to one?
You will have to make a story. You might have not visited a museum,
but I am sure that you must have heard of a museum from a friend or you must
have watched a movie in which a museum was shown. You will have to add all your
experiences in the answer which you want to give.
13. Answer all the questions
You should not ask the examiner to skip the question. You may ask
the examiner to repeat the question which he or she said, but you are not
allowed to skip the question.
14. Watch English movies
You should watch a lot of English movies. You should try to watch
1 movie every day. The movie will help you learn new words and you will also be
familiarized with the way Americans or Canadians speak. If you do not
understand the words they are saying you also have an option of putting on the
subtitles in English language.
