Saskia, you have finished your IELTS practice speaking test.

Past simple

It's like carrying a normal conversation in English, and I found it to be pretty good.

You've taken the IELTS test before, haven't you?

So, compared to the real test, which is obviously a lot more nerve-wracking, how were the questions in this one?

Well, I took my real test three years ago, so I don't fully remember it.

I feel like the questions here were a little more streamlined, whereas when I did the actual exam, it was a lot broader, and there was just a lot more space for me to talk.

My name is Chris from IELTS Daily, and we're back today for another in our super mock exam speaking videos.

Today, we have the student Saskia, and she is going to talk as though she's speaking in the real mock exam.

So, we have a practice examiner, and we have feedback throughout the video.

And I hope that this feedback is really useful for you, so you can learn some of the techniques which Saskia uses, and maybe you can take on some of the language she uses.

I'm going to tell you, she's a great speaker today.

Hello, and welcome to this practice exam conducted by IELTS Daily.

My name is Maddy, and I'm your practice examiner.

The questions in this test are designed to simulate the IELTS speaking test.

At the beginning of the IELTS test, you will be required to provide some ID, but as this is a practice test, we don't need to do that today.

So, I want to begin by talking about you.

I'm at university, and I'm in my first year.

I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts in Literature.

As you know, a really common question is, do you work or study?

I would really advise you that you should prepare for that type of question.

Are you a full-time employee or are you a part-time employee?

Maybe you're a job seeker, maybe you're looking for a job.

Whatever you are, whoever you are, make sure that you're ready.

She says, I'm not particularly a fan, no.

This is a great way to say no, but it's adding some language.

So if you're a fan of something, yeah, you could say, I'm really a fan of.

I think it is very fundamental for a lot of degrees and a lot of not just educational but occupational things that you might go into.

Math has always provided to be a basis for everything.

I think it's a personality trait that you are either more inclined towards mathematical thinking or you are not.

In this section, she talked about math or you can say maths.

You know that math is the American way to say maths or mathematics.

You can say either, it doesn't really matter.

But in this section, Saskia used some great language.

And that means that they have some tendency or trait that they have an ability to do something.

I really like this because Saskia has a great rapport or relationship with the practice examiner.

Make sure that in your test, you're not feeling too nervous.

Try to pretend that you're talking to a friend.

Just make sure that you properly address the question so that you feel confident that you've answered it.

When they're happy, when they're loving and love, just excited.

Sometimes when you're sad, you can give a sympathetic smile.

She said smiles can convey, to convey, to show or to get some meaning across.

But, you know, sometimes you've got to give that blue steel look, I think it's called.

I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes.

The only piece of feedback that I'd give to Saskia here is that at times some of her answers are a little bit short and I feel that she could elaborate a little bit more on her answers.
