  • In this video, you're going to learn three great ways to get an excellent mark in your IELTS speaking exam.

  • First tip, make sure your speech always has a really great structure.

  • That means make sure you have a beginning, middle, and end.

  • Second tip, make your speech exciting and engaging, and interesting for the examiner.

  • What does that mean?

  • You need to describe what you hear, what you see, what you smell, and what you can taste, and you guessed it, what you can touch.

  • Use all the five senses in your speeches to make them come to life, to make your English lively and exciting, and interesting, so you can get a really top mark.

  • Last tip.

  • What you need is to be slow.

  • Slow down! Don't say, "um, and."

  • Say useful phrases like, "to tell you the truth," "well... in my opinion" and so on.

  • It will really help you.
