    IELTS Speaking Band 9 Full Mark Answers - Complete Interview Kolkata India

    • Jaleel cleverly paraphrases many of the key words in the examiner's questions. When the examiner asks about what she does in her free time she responds by saying that in my spare time. This is showing the examiner that band nine level lexical resource. To get those high band scores during your speaking interview you have to paraphrase often. This not only shows lexical resource but also improves the coherence of your answers making your answers more understandable for the listener. In fact coherence is also improved by Jaleel's ability to connect among her responses. When the examiner asks her about where her parents live she makes the connection by saying as I had mentioned earlier I live in the same house as my parents. It's this type of connective information that really leads to that expert level of communication. Now many of you probably realized that Jaleel uses frequent natural fillers during her speech. Natural fillers are sound expressions like um and um and she even breaks her eye contact kind of looking away or looking down. This is called mental referencing meaning that she's looking inside of her mind to think about good ideas and information to say to the examiner. She is not stuck for vocabulary or for grammar. This is clear. So in this case the ahs and ums in Jaleel's speech do not take away from her overall performance. In fact they improve it because the quality of her answers are that much better. Another very important skill that Jaleel adapts for part one is her visual speech.
