Hi Clemwell, Quality of answers, mainly. Her responses are excellent, but perhaps some more complex phrasings could have given her a 9.0. These are not points to worry about, however, unless you are aiming for 9.0. Instead, focus on the strategies and skills you need to master to get your goal score (for most students, this is 6.5-7.5).
Thank you very much for responding. I never anticipated such fast yet informative response. Yes, I aim for a 9 because I plan to be an IELTS instructor here in the Philippines. Having watched the video twice, I agree that her sentences were quite basic, however smooth and flawless they were. So I'll definitely take note of the complexity of syntax. Thanks again!!! =)
Highest band score is not only for native speakers. I took the academic IELTS in June, and scored 8.5 with speaking. I am a non-native speaker, and living the whole my life in non-english speaking places in Africa & Asia. Non-native speaker, you can manage scoring the highest band as long as you are careful, structured, and know what you are speaking druing an interview.
they wanna be a nurse or a doctor. Doctors must achieve an overall score of 7.5 (out of 9), with a minimum 7.0 in the four papers. Nurses must achieve and overall score of 7.0 with a minimum 7.0 in the four papers. There is no room for error on the test day. Scoring 7.0 at IELTS is no different to achieving an A at A Level or scoring highly in an undergraduate exam.

I hate the cue card system. It's hard to make up stories in just one minute. I just thought, if i were in her place i wouldn't be able to say a word about Art piece . Cause i've never seen one in my life. and i don't have any interest in it. I know there's no solution for my problem. so i have a question, if i make up name of artist and and describe an art that doesn't exist , would it be okay?
Yes, absolutely it is okay to make up an answer. *However, this is usually more difficult than to think of a real example. I strongly recommend searching your memory bank first for information before trying to improvise a story. Great question, and the best of luck.
I think that if you are able to make up an answer it means that your English is really good. Even in our native language is too hard to lie sometimes and make up a story is even harder
Practice Jean, practice, practice, practice. In a sense, many of the questions on the IELTS tests not only your English ability but also your aptitude for creativity! I'm sure if you give it some practice at home, you will get the hang of it. Good studies from the team at www.aehelp.com

I scored on Speaking Test 8.1. It helps me a lot watching your channel for my preparations during my exam. First, I watch it twice or 3 times each scenario and writing your questions. I used it during our practice together with my husband.
I like this video as I often use it to teach my students preparing for IELTS here in Hong Kong. Though Jade Lake would not have scored so high if it were a Geography test. Looking at a map of Canada, the Westernmost Province is Yukon, not British Columbia!
Wow cool! In my country even 7 of IELTS score is enough to enter to any university! However I'm preparing for something more. I won't need it for entering University, but I would love to read books in english and speak well while traveling if God wills
I'm glad the videos are helping your confidence. You really must control your stress during the exam as this has a negative effect on performance. Keep up the good studies. www.aehelp.com
Examiner: even tho u r native ur speaking isn't good enough Examiner himself: I would um like to uuhm show you uhhm how to ummm get the band mm 9 iT'S nATuRaL
You don't need to be better than someone to score them based on a (mostly) objective set of rules. Also, this is literally an exam that lasts for a few minutes where you are supposed to give your very best shot at speaking as coherently and as clearly as you can. Almost no one will speak like that in most situations, simply because those situations don't require it.
+Speakada Lingo i think hes asking why someone from a english speaking country give ielts to go to anothet English speaking country... e.g why does someone going to Canada from usa have to give ielts
Hi all! Just wanted to share my experience with you because I feel like a lot of us are really nervous when it comes to taking the speaking test. It is quite nerve wrecking but you can do it! I got a 9 in speaking and 8.5 overall. Test was taken in Canada. I've spent quite some time here so I speak like a native speaker, but like what the comment says not all native speakers can get a 9 as you have to show a certain level of expertise on your topic. You need to be articulate and show no difficulty in conversing on something scientific/factual. What really separates an 8.5 from a 9 is precision and clarity of thought. If you just talk in every day speech it won't get you anywhere; you gotta be precise and make sure what you say really hits the nail on the head. Think before you speak! Good luck!
Hi Lee, cool u must be great in English study. Can you share more expeirience how to get 8.5 or above? I will have one in Januray 17 and only have around two weeks to practice, can u give some strategies or recommedations? For example, do I need to revise a lot or what parts I need to focus on during these days? Thanks¬! - Lesley
luvfaye lee I think you should focus on being articulate, as in you need to be coherent and precise and try not to say a bunch of words when only one of them accurately conveys the meaning for you. I had exams when I took the test but I thought I at least needed to familiarize myself with the format---which I did, but I also made sure whatever I said I wouldn't have said it any other way, as in it mirrored my thoughts perfectly as if I was thinking out loud. Precision is key!
I'm really sorry but I'm a uni student and I don't have time to do that given school and everything. You can start by watching more TV shows and understanding without any subtitles. I hope this helps.
Thank you for this lesson video it means a lot to me. This time i'm still learning on speaking english and improve my pronounciation. It really hard for me. This lesson video can help me to prepare myself for IELTS
All of the major English proficiency exams seem to have their own idiosyncrasies when it comes to how they judge performance on the speaking test. IELTS grading can be somewhat confusing and contradictory I think, for example when they promote things like using slang and informal speech which could receive negative points in any other test. The issue I believe is that these tests are designed to weed out certain targeted errors and stratify the applicants instead of just looking at things more holistically and assigning pass grades based on basic English competency in a simulated English-speaking environment.
In this case you need to make it up - think about a movie or a famous art piece and pretend that you are a fan and have experience. DO NOT say that you do not have interest in the topic and do not know anything about it - you will lose a lot of marks. Good studies, www.aehelp.com
"I think, at the end of the day, apparently, in a nutshell, long story short,.." have already become hackneyed and overly used fillers. Do they add up the seasoning for deterring the better band score?
Native speakers sometimes need to take the IELTS exam as well, as it is a proficiency exam, most native speakers would score a band 8, so preparing with the right materials is key, you can do that here: www.aehelp.com/full-course/
these are very ideal interviewes. I hope IELTS will change to reflect real circumstances. Too ideal questions force candidates to lie. Faking with confidence is the way to go for high scores in present format.
Unfortunately, it's not possible for the test to reflect the real world in more detail because the interviews would have to be custom created for each person and at least half an hour. Just imagine how much it would cost to do that !?
This is true for the writing section, not the speaking section. You do need to make sure that the slang you use is commonly understood and not overly restricted to a smaller circle of people.
I’m not a native speaker but I understood every word about the conversation even though I feel so stressed about my English certification test, it’s gonna be on 2 months and I think it’ll be too hard so I’m afraid to fail😪😪
I have studied English throughout my Schooling and University, however getting a good score in IELTS is all about understanding the exam technique which can be done only through the practice and comprehension. If you are a native English speaker or already good at English, is definitely going to be helpful but do not be overconfident that it will get you a higher band unless you practice ;-)
Good question. She may get a 9. However scores of 9 are very rare because an examine must not only have great mastery of English, but also great mastery of each topic. In this case, master of some question topics is arguable, therefore this can cost that .5 grade.
You are half right. The recording is sent to two independent and trained graders, but likely not the UK, unless of course that is where you are taking the test.
hello, I have just watched your videos about the speaking test especially strategies she answered according to the question is brilliant. On the other hand, I have an IELTS speaking test on 17th of August, I don't panic but could you teach me some effective method that I can answer the question in a reasonable way. I have left only two days, hope you will understand me.
Why do all of the English learners always say if asked them what do you like to do or what do you think about art or music etc. all of them start to say; I love art and especially modern arts, galleries etc. I had seen a famous musician who played on the street as a street guitarist on youtube but everyone didn't look at him. I know lots of them who are love music especially classical music when you ask them. Well, why do people prefer to say like this? Because, I think we learn the English like this way. So when the English learners start speaking English we have become art, music and social life lovers. Finally, I watched lots of exam videos nearly all of them make imitation. These are in my opinion. I'm so sorry if I say unpolite speech. note: I am sorry for my bad English. I'm only B1
This is a very common situation. First, remember that the person who is doing the interview does not mark you, so don't be scared. They are just there to ask you the questions. The people marking will listen to the recording, so be loud and confident otherwise they can't hear you! Think of the examiner as a grandpa or grandma who you have to speak to clearly, loudly and respectfully. Great question. I hope this helps. Lots more strategies at: www.aehelp.com
Hi Antares, I am not sure what you are trying to state? Can you paraphrase your idea and give more details, so I can respond more effectively. I look forward to it. Good studies.
AcademicEnglishHelp "Live and learn". The sageness of this proverb has never been so appealing to me, as it is now when i have to pass IELTS exam. Well, I`d like to get grade 7, but there are several things i`m lacking, to get that result. Generally speaking, my speaking abilities aren`t "native" enough, much less to say about my pronunciation, and my writing skills are rough to the degree that i`d hardly ever be capable of writing a well organized and grammatically precise essay, to convince the examiner that i deserve a mark higher than 6. Nevertheless i have convinced myself that i`m capable of improving my English and getting as higher a result as it is possible for any human being. To conclude, i`ve been watching the tutorials on this channel for quite a time, and i`d say, it has definitely helped me a lot. Now i know my weak sides which i need to improve and thanks to the channel i know which direction to tread.
We also have videos with non-native speakers, just check out our channel a bit more, go to the speaking section video list. These videos can also be found on our website at: www.aehelp.com
rfx3000 he said that when they exam you they're looking at how similari u are to a native speaker so this video i guess shows you realisticly how good you have to be to score 8.5
Not true! In fact many native speakers are not able to score 9. This is because the mark isn't simply based on pronunciation, but much more on accuracy of language and information. These two elements do not depend much on being a native speaker, but rather on being an efficient communicator. This is why it is critical to develop strong communication skills to get high scores on IELTS speaking. Study hard, and you will get there. Good luck from the team at www.aehelp.com
for instance, if i start describing the appearance of the instructor in the part where it says describe a memorable piece of art would he start laughing or would it be the end of my academic career plans?
Hello Mss, I'm looking for someone to improve my speaking skills, I'm gonna present my Ielts task in 4 days. If you want to add me, this is my Skype ID: lyann.striker Regards !
fucking hell! what if I have nerver seen piece of art? or even if I have, not really memorable and can't remember the footage and what I saw?? I still have to make up bullshit in 1 min? haha! And what if someone is locked in for studying and haven't had a chance to see a fucking piece of art?
Although the colloquial language you are using in these comments is good tongue and cheek, just make sure you can use a more sophisticated intelligent form of communication when you take the test. Remember, not only are you what you eat, but you are what you speak.
Cool .. I have to take the test in 3 weeks .. my skype id is : alireza-bitarafan and this is my email if you can't find me : alirezabitarafan73@yahoo.com we can help each other :))
+Pabindu lakshitha Hi Pabindu, no you cannot. If you get a question like this, just for three minutes, pretend that you love art and are very interested in it. Make up a story.
AcademicEnglishHelp I apologize but that is the most ludicrous thing i ever heard. So you are given 1 minute to think of a topic you do not like or know and you have to lie and make yourself believe that you actually like it to talk about it for 1-2 minutes? Wow
It's not BS guys. It's great practice in real life. There are plenty of situations where you'll have to lie or pretend you like something that you in fact have no interest in. For example, at a dinner with the boss when he's talking about his yacht. If you roll your eyes and say you don't like boats or the ocean, you won't have a job for long. (And yes, many executives are exactly that vapid in real life, they don't care how "skilled" you are). People like people who share similar interests. That's why being able to pretend to share those interests can help your career. It's a useful skill to be able to fake enthusiasm and talk effectively about a topic you do not like or know about. With enough practice, you'll be able to "wing it" on just about any topic and give people the impression of being a Renaissance Man. And that will do wonders for your future job prospects (as long as you aren't totally incompetent at work).
In speaking test the aim is to measure the oral communication ability. I've seen some sample videos of IELTS tests which the students dont have a good pronunciation and I really can't understand what they are saying. However, just because they try to use some fancy words they get a high score which in my idea its not fair.
hello, this video is really good to understand and help me learn about english, yeah my first language is indonesia, and so hard to me to learn another languages thank u
Okay..got my general training results today....(25th March was the test date). Speaking 9 Listening 8.5 Writing 8.5 Reading 8 I had taken the academic version in January. Speaking 9 Listening 8.5 Writing 9 Reading 8.5 I wanted to know if good scores really make any kind of difference when applying for Canadian immigration, and which province to choose to ensure the best results for immigration applicants.

If there is a topic that I am not familiar with,then I have to fabricate,but even if I have little knowledge or experience in that topic's field,then I may get a low band unless I've made enough preparation.........I guess the speaking test is best suit for a skillful talkative fraudster who knows enough general knowledge in many many areas
I have been "diving" into several websites in order to practice intensively, as I need to get a 7 band in each part of the exam which is assessed, and, trust me, I have practiced A LOT. I even made some penpals, and, everyday, as soon as I get home I turn on my TV in English spoken channels, and my PC to chat with native speakers. Notwithstanding all I just mentioned, I still cannot reach the score I need. I think that the main problem is that no website offers any feedback to students who need it, like me. I am tired of watching sample videos and tips, I think I know ALL of them by now... but I need someone to coach me, specifically. It would be great if any of all the websites which claim they help us starts doing this... (you could even be the first to do so... just wondering...) Cheers!
Ok, but if this is a training video, who gave her 8.5? I thought native speakers by definition were given 9, provided it was clear to the examiner that it wasn't just a bunch of phrases memorised for the exam. Was the 8.5 graded by an experienced ielts examiner? thanks for your channel, great video.
Hi Dem, No the Band 9 definition is not synonymous with native speaker. By definition a score of 9 shows expert grasp of language with detailed knowledge shown in all answers. The user is proficient in well articulated, complex and compound sentence responses. You do not need to be a native speaker for this. Yes, the student is graded by an experienced examiner. Keep up the good studies. www.aehelp.com/full-course
Just so people know, this would definitely be a nine rather than an 8.5, She is a native speaker. Candadians speak english, even the french regions all speak english. I can only assume that the people who made the video gave it a slightly lower score to scare people into thinking they are not good enough to convince them to subscribe.
Hi @AcademicEnglishHelp I really like your TH-cam videos series. I am so curious to know about how much time and efforts did you put to make this kind of videos? What kind of tools do you use to record these videos? Do you record and edit this video by ownself or do you hire some company to do that? What kind of benefits do you get because of these videos? Do you do this full time or do you do it when you have time on weekends? How much time do you give daily to make these videos? do you make it at home or you went to some professional studio? How much money did you spend on this and how much money do you generate from TH-cam monetisation? Is it good idea to make video and give it for FREE rather then writing a book?
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful for me. :) I have a question. It seems it's easier for me to speak American accent. Will there be any restrictions for the accents during the IELTS test? Should i get used to British accent before taking the test?
+Talgatbek Kainarov Hi Talgatbek, Thanks for your question. You need to be familiar with the British accent for the Listening Section. However, for speaking it is absolutely okay to reflect the American accent.
Hi Christy, since IELTS interviews are forced situations (they do not naturally occur on a street or in a cafeteria), it is common for the examiner and candidate to both be on fleek. Do not focus on this too much, instead concentrate on answering questions well to get a good score. www.aehelp.com/full-course
aha you got me! don't worry, i did get a lot out of this vid. but i just couldn't help noticing his eyebrows :P thanks for making these vids, it really helps a lot!
In Australiaq, this performance will be marked down to 8 for speaking.I did perform much bettyer than her but ending up as 8 ONLY. I used to get 8.5 for speaking, but it is no longer the case. It is quite impossible to get that high
How come she didn't get band 9 ? she speaks very naturally and clearly she speaks fluently without any stops at all I'm too scared now not to get any score lol
I thought the examiners would discount for talking colloquially... Are you 100% sure that they won't? I tend to say things like " wanna ", " 'cause " or " 'til " a lot and they're very difficult to get rid of

bhawna kapoor Hi Bhawna, That's great, I am very happy to hear that and CONGRATULATIONS! The best of luck in your future endeavors from the team at www.aehelp.com
Would you like to help me to improve my English Can we do speaking practice plzz
congratulations i wish u more than this
Hi bhavna.. Need some suggestions
How do you improve your speaking skil?
I scored on Speaking Test 8.1. It helps me a lot watching your channel for my preparations during my exam. First, I watch it twice or 3 times each scenario and writing your questions. I used it during our practice together with my husband.
+Emillia Hilal My Skype name is refat.english
Thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful! I've got 7 in speaking which is what I always need.
Awesome Gavin, thanks for the feedback, www.aehelp.com/
The Examiner didn't give any reaction when that lady smiled to him.
He was supposed to not giving any reaction to her , right?
Thank you for this lesson, I got an 8.0 on my IELTS ☺️☺️
Elmahdi B.Lahkim wow i’m so glad of you
Good luck 😉
I like this video as I often use it to teach my students preparing for IELTS here in Hong Kong. Though Jade Lake would not have scored so high if it were a Geography test. Looking at a map of Canada, the Westernmost Province is Yukon, not British Columbia!
This is a definite 9. A lot of candidate not in engligh-speaking countries could get 9, let alone the native speakers
Could you tell us at the end about mistakes that speaker makes during the conversation please.
There is no mistake grading system is bullshit
Wow cool!
In my country even 7 of IELTS score is enough to enter to any university! However I'm preparing for something more.
I won't need it for entering University, but I would love to read books in english and speak well while traveling if God wills
Круто

thank you so much sir, I'm planning to attend an IELTS exam next month and kind of nervous now about the speaking test. your videos are so helpful.
I'm glad the videos are helping your confidence. You really must control your stress during the exam as this has a negative effect on performance. Keep up the good studies. www.aehelp.com
AcademicEnglishHelp
thank u so much sir.
Definitely a band 8.5, examiners hate to give 9 as they have to justify why and for me this native speaker is worth a 9.
Perhaps : ) In a different video, she gets a 9.
This vid is truly helpful to IELTS takers. Thank you.
Sounds good! I Will have my speaking exam the next thursday ! Fighting!🤗 We can do it!
Good luck on your exam Timotea! Make sure to check us out at www.aehelp.com
Thank you sir too much with the aid of your videos i got 6.5 band today i am very happy thank you sir
You are most welcome Sandeep. I wish you the best in your next steps
Examiner: even tho u r native ur speaking isn't good enough
Examiner himself: I would um like to uuhm show you uhhm how to ummm get the band mm 9
iT'S nATuRaL
true🤣🤣
It's hard to percieve, but it's true...how can native speaker get 8.5? She was perfect.
Ha ha
This comment is uhm brilliant
You don't need to be better than someone to score them based on a (mostly) objective set of rules. Also, this is literally an exam that lasts for a few minutes where you are supposed to give your very best shot at speaking as coherently and as clearly as you can. Almost no one will speak like that in most situations, simply because those situations don't require it.
Why native speakers take IELTS test ??
mostly its for migration purpose
do you mean 'why don't native speakers take IELTS test?'
+Speakada Lingo i think hes asking why someone from a english speaking country give ielts to go to anothet English speaking country... e.g why does someone going to Canada from usa have to give ielts
It's a requirement I think from immigration. Even I have to prove my language competence in English if I go to Canada.
Hafiz Umar u are right
Hi all! Just wanted to share my experience with you because I feel like a lot of us are really nervous when it comes to taking the speaking test. It is quite nerve wrecking but you can do it! I got a 9 in speaking and 8.5 overall. Test was taken in Canada. I've spent quite some time here so I speak like a native speaker, but like what the comment says not all native speakers can get a 9 as you have to show a certain level of expertise on your topic. You need to be articulate and show no difficulty in conversing on something scientific/factual. What really separates an 8.5 from a 9 is precision and clarity of thought. If you just talk in every day speech it won't get you anywhere; you gotta be precise and make sure what you say really hits the nail on the head. Think before you speak! Good luck!
Hi Lee,
Thanks for posting this - great advice!
Hi Lee, cool u must be great in English study. Can you share more expeirience how to get 8.5 or above? I will have one in Januray 17 and only have around two weeks to practice, can u give some strategies or recommedations? For example, do I need to revise a lot or what parts I need to focus on during these days? Thanks¬! - Lesley
luvfaye lee I think you should focus on being articulate, as in you need to be coherent and precise and try not to say a bunch of words when only one of them accurately conveys the meaning for you. I had exams when I took the test but I thought I at least needed to familiarize myself with the format---which I did, but I also made sure whatever I said I wouldn't have said it any other way, as in it mirrored my thoughts perfectly as if I was thinking out loud. Precision is key!
hi listen lee , can you please help improving my speaking skills , can you give your skype so we can have some conversations from time to another .
I'm really sorry but I'm a uni student and I don't have time to do that given school and everything. You can start by watching more TV shows and understanding without any subtitles. I hope this helps.
Great video :) It's really clear!
Thank you for this lesson video it means a lot to me. This time i'm still learning on speaking english and improve my pronounciation. It really hard for me. This lesson video can help me to prepare myself for IELTS
All of the major English proficiency exams seem to have their own idiosyncrasies when it comes to how they judge performance on the speaking test. IELTS grading can be somewhat confusing and contradictory I think, for example when they promote things like using slang and informal speech which could receive negative points in any other test. The issue I believe is that these tests are designed to weed out certain targeted errors and stratify the applicants instead of just looking at things more holistically and assigning pass grades based on basic English competency in a simulated English-speaking environment.
Man if they ask me to describe a piece of art when i do my speaking test im screwed XP
what if I have not come across any memorable art or perhaps I'm not a big fan of art, then?
In this case you need to make it up - think about a movie or a famous art piece and pretend that you are a fan and have experience. DO NOT say that you do not have interest in the topic and do not know anything about it - you will lose a lot of marks. Good studies, www.aehelp.com
Thanks a lot
yes, you have no choice but to make up one..yey!!!
yumna arif make up something that English native speakers normally don't know...
yumna arif me too
"I think, at the end of the day, apparently, in a nutshell, long story short,.." have already become hackneyed and overly used fillers. Do they add up the seasoning for deterring the better band score?
Very comforting to see that even native speaking teachers are making mistakes themselves ;-)
Native speakers sometimes need to take the IELTS exam as well, as it is a proficiency exam, most native speakers would score a band 8, so preparing with the right materials is key, you can do that here: www.aehelp.com/full-course/
@@Aehelp well thanks, I will take it into consideration
these are very ideal interviewes. I hope IELTS will change to reflect real circumstances. Too ideal questions force candidates to lie. Faking with confidence is the way to go for high scores in present format.
Unfortunately, it's not possible for the test to reflect the real world in more detail because the interviews would have to be custom created for each person and at least half an hour. Just imagine how much it would cost to do that !?
Hello Sir
Could you please shortly explain why this candidate lost 0.5 point
Perhaps her pronunciation on certain words. Occasionally she said words in a very lazy manner, "wanna" instead of "want to" for example.
Annaesthesia1 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My teacher said me that don't use slang word because it will be informal...
This is true for the writing section, not the speaking section. You do need to make sure that the slang you use is commonly understood and not overly restricted to a smaller circle of people.
said to, you're welcome
I’m not a native speaker but I understood every word about the conversation even though I feel so stressed about my English certification test, it’s gonna be on 2 months and I think it’ll be too hard so I’m afraid to fail😪😪
So I am.
I have studied English throughout my Schooling and University, however getting a good score in IELTS is all about understanding the exam technique which can be done only through the practice and comprehension. If you are a native English speaker or already good at English, is definitely going to be helpful but do not be overconfident that it will get you a higher band unless you practice ;-)
Can somebody tell me: why she got only 8.5?
Good question. She may get a 9. However scores of 9 are very rare because an examine must not only have great mastery of English, but also great mastery of each topic. In this case, master of some question topics is arguable, therefore this can cost that .5 grade.
AcademicEnglishHelp Oh, thank you for the answer!
AcademicEnglishHelp I got 9 on Speaking, but it's probably because the examiner spoke with an accent that was much heavier than mine.
Humanophage The examiner does not evaluate you. The recorded audio file is sent to Britain if I am not mistaken.
You are half right. The recording is sent to two independent and trained graders, but likely not the UK, unless of course that is where you are taking the test.
Going to have a IELTS speaking test tomorrow morning. Wish me good luck...
+Abby Qin Good luck Abby! from the team at www.aehelp.com
hello, I have just watched your videos about the speaking test especially strategies she answered according to the question is brilliant. On the other hand, I have an IELTS speaking test on 17th of August, I don't panic but could you teach me some effective method that I can answer the question in a reasonable way. I have left only two days, hope you will understand me.
Why do all of the English learners always say if asked them what do you like to do or what do you think about art or music etc. all of them start to say; I love art and especially modern arts, galleries etc. I had seen a famous musician who played on the street as a street guitarist on youtube but everyone didn't look at him. I know lots of them who are love music especially classical music when you ask them.
Well, why do people prefer to say like this? Because, I think we learn the English like this way. So when the English learners start speaking English we have become art, music and social life lovers. Finally, I watched lots of exam videos nearly all of them make imitation. These are in my opinion. I'm so sorry if I say unpolite speech. note: I am sorry for my bad English. I'm only B1
I am very good at vocabulary and granmer and I speak fluently but when I am exam I am shy and I confuse
This is a very common situation. First, remember that the person who is doing the interview does not mark you, so don't be scared. They are just there to ask you the questions. The people marking will listen to the recording, so be loud and confident otherwise they can't hear you! Think of the examiner as a grandpa or grandma who you have to speak to clearly, loudly and respectfully. Great question. I hope this helps. Lots more strategies at: www.aehelp.com
Same here :(
Seriously? Me to possessing good English grammar and speaking too good to be true, but being very retarded to pass any exam.
Hi Antares, I am not sure what you are trying to state? Can you paraphrase your idea and give more details, so I can respond more effectively. I look forward to it. Good studies.
AcademicEnglishHelp
"Live and learn". The sageness of this proverb has never been so appealing to me, as it is now when i have to pass IELTS exam.
Well, I`d like to get grade 7, but there are several things i`m lacking, to get that result. Generally speaking, my speaking abilities aren`t "native" enough, much less to say about my pronunciation, and my writing skills are rough to the degree that i`d hardly ever be capable of writing a well organized and grammatically precise essay, to convince the examiner that i deserve a mark higher than 6. Nevertheless i have convinced myself that i`m capable of improving my English and getting as higher a result as it is possible for any human being.
To conclude, i`ve been watching the tutorials on this channel for quite a time, and i`d say, it has definitely helped me a lot.
Now i know my weak sides which i need to improve and thanks to the channel i know which direction to tread.
Thank you for your reply..sir but I am going to do my speaking exam on coming Tuesday...
A Canadian people does learned to speak this language.
Yes! To work as a teacher, or for immigration purposes.
Wouldn't it be more help if the speaker were a NON-NATIVE speaker?
We also have videos with non-native speakers, just check out our channel a bit more, go to the speaking section video list. These videos can also be found on our website at: www.aehelp.com
AcademicEnglishHelp
To what purpose a Native english speaker would do IELTS? I thought this exam was only for non native speakers
rfx3000 he said that when they exam you they're looking at how similari u are to a native speaker so this video i guess shows you realisticly how good you have to be to score 8.5
TheFreaking4
A native speaker Must score 10!
Not true! In fact many native speakers are not able to score 9. This is because the mark isn't simply based on pronunciation, but much more on accuracy of language and information. These two elements do not depend much on being a native speaker, but rather on being an efficient communicator. This is why it is critical to develop strong communication skills to get high scores on IELTS speaking. Study hard, and you will get there. Good luck from the team at www.aehelp.com

AcademicEnglishHelp : Thank you very much and every i often hear and practise by these videos to improve my English ^^
question: does making jokes during the speaking section make my score lower?
for instance, if i start describing the appearance of the instructor in the part where it says describe a memorable piece of art would he start laughing or would it be the end of my academic career plans?
+gamzeerkarslan yup dear u will score less if u try to crack a joke p.s don't get too much friendly with them speaking with experience.
Sanil Bist that sucks i hope i can contain myself during the speaking part. thank you for the advice though, i appreciate it
Hello Mss, I'm looking for someone to improve my speaking skills, I'm gonna present my Ielts task in 4 days. If you want to add me, this is my Skype ID:

Great job there! Oh and a great day to everyone reading this! :)
fucking hell! what if I have nerver seen piece of art? or even if I have, not really memorable and can't remember the footage and what I saw?? I still have to make up bullshit in 1 min? haha! And what if someone is locked in for studying and haven't had a chance to see a fucking piece of art?
Well, then you are fucked hahahaha
Although the colloquial language you are using in these comments is good tongue and cheek, just make sure you can use a more sophisticated intelligent form of communication when you take the test. Remember, not only are you what you eat, but you are what you speak.
hello guys! I need a partner to improve my speaking,can someone helps me?
If you have skype we can practice together :)
Cool .. I have to take the test in 3 weeks .. my skype id is : alireza-bitarafan

the first time i watch it i find it very useful
Great, make sure to check us out at www.aehelp.com as well.
Regarding the question in that card,
Actually I have no interest on art. So, Can I ask for another topic then?
+Pabindu lakshitha Hi Pabindu, no you cannot. If you get a question like this, just for three minutes, pretend that you love art and are very interested in it. Make up a story.
+AcademicEnglishHelp That's why I hate IELTS. It's BS. No offense to you and your work, though :)
+WozWozWozniacki I am of the same opinion. We have to make things up >_
AcademicEnglishHelp I apologize but that is the most ludicrous thing i ever heard. So you are given 1 minute to think of a topic you do not like or know and you have to lie and make yourself believe that you actually like it to talk about it for 1-2 minutes? Wow
It's not BS guys. It's great practice in real life. There are plenty of situations where you'll have to lie or pretend you like something that you in fact have no interest in. For example, at a dinner with the boss when he's talking about his yacht. If you roll your eyes and say you don't like boats or the ocean, you won't have a job for long. (And yes, many executives are exactly that vapid in real life, they don't care how "skilled" you are).
People like people who share similar interests. That's why being able to pretend to share those interests can help your career. It's a useful skill to be able to fake enthusiasm and talk effectively about a topic you do not like or know about.
With enough practice, you'll be able to "wing it" on just about any topic and give people the impression of being a Renaissance Man. And that will do wonders for your future job prospects (as long as you aren't totally incompetent at work).
i try to learn english, every body please help me

In speaking test the aim is to measure the oral communication ability. I've seen some sample videos of IELTS tests which the students dont have a good pronunciation and I really can't understand what they are saying. However, just because they try to use some fancy words they get a high score which in my idea its not fair.
hello, this video is really good to understand and help me learn about english, yeah my first language is indonesia, and so hard to me to learn another languages
thank u
Great Lesson!!Thanks
Okay..got my general training results today....(25th March was the test date).
Speaking 9 Listening 8.5 Writing 8.5 Reading 8
I had taken the academic version in January.
Speaking 9 Listening 8.5 Writing 9 Reading 8.5
I wanted to know if good scores really make any kind of difference when applying for Canadian immigration, and which province to choose to ensure the best results for immigration applicants. If there's anyone out there who has some kind of experience in the Canadian immigration process, please reply. Thanks and good luck!
Thank you! I got 8 on speaking! 🙏🏽
Congratulations on the great result! I'm glad to have been an aid in your success. On the website, you may have noticed the "testimonials" block near the bottom. Unlike many websites out there, we fill this section with real user testimonials and real pictures of those users. Because of your awesome score and feedback, we'd love to be able to use your first name/picture. If you could send us a picture of yourself (face, like the ones on the website), we would be greatly appreciative. Also, please include your nationality. If you are willing, please send this to admin@aehelp.com. This allows us to encourage other students to use our products and reach their goals and dreams. I look forward to getting your picture, nationality, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.
very important to practice English continue indeed you will enjoying and can you get new skill ielts have a lot thing so you should benifet
It was great and very useful to have this kind of practices
this lesson is a very good and you help me english learning
Thanks for your compliment. Make sure to check us out at www.aehelp.com as well
If there is a topic that I am not familiar with,then I have to fabricate,but even if I have little knowledge or experience in that topic's field,then I may get a low band unless I've made enough preparation.........I guess the speaking test is best suit for a skillful talkative fraudster who knows enough general knowledge in many many areas
Today was my speaking !I failed🦹♂️
I have been "diving" into several websites in order to practice intensively, as I need to get a 7 band in each part of the exam which is assessed, and, trust me, I have practiced A LOT. I even made some penpals, and, everyday, as soon as I get home I turn on my TV in English spoken channels, and my PC to chat with native speakers.
Notwithstanding all I just mentioned, I still cannot reach the score I need.
I think that the main problem is that no website offers any feedback to students who need it, like me. I am tired of watching sample videos and tips, I think I know ALL of them by now... but I need someone to coach me, specifically.
It would be great if any of all the websites which claim they help us starts doing this...
(you could even be the first to do so... just wondering...)
Cheers!
Ok, but if this is a training video, who gave her 8.5? I thought native speakers by definition were given 9, provided it was clear to the examiner that it wasn't just a bunch of phrases memorised for the exam. Was the 8.5 graded by an experienced ielts examiner? thanks for your channel, great video.
Hi Dem, No the Band 9 definition is not synonymous with native speaker. By definition a score of 9 shows expert grasp of language with detailed knowledge shown in all answers. The user is proficient in well articulated, complex and compound sentence responses. You do not need to be a native speaker for this. Yes, the student is graded by an experienced examiner. Keep up the good studies. www.aehelp.com/full-course
very good....we hopeful more test like that please
You are great teacher thanks so much
Her unstoppable nods spoil the natural communication tone. That's why I think, she left half point on the desk. :)
Just so people know, this would definitely be a nine rather than an 8.5, She is a native speaker. Candadians speak english, even the french regions all speak english. I can only assume that the people who made the video gave it a slightly lower score to scare people into thinking they are not good enough to convince them to subscribe.
of course not. but this woman displayed full vocabulary range, without any hesitations and a full cohesive response. fo' sho she is getting full marks
I think you need to make it more easy because the native speakers spend his life in the english
Upssss, there is not common area that are formed by intersect of three circle in the board. So you cant demand it !
Hi @AcademicEnglishHelp
I really like your TH-cam videos series.
I am so curious to know about how much time and efforts did you put to make this kind of videos?
What kind of tools do you use to record these videos?
Do you record and edit this video by ownself or do you hire some company to do that?
What kind of benefits do you get because of these videos?
Do you do this full time or do you do it when you have time on weekends?
How much time do you give daily to make these videos? do you make it at home or you went to some professional studio?
How much money did you spend on this and how much money do you generate from TH-cam monetisation?
Is it good idea to make video and give it for FREE rather then writing a book?
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful for me. :)
I have a question. It seems it's easier for me to speak American accent.
Will there be any restrictions for the accents during the IELTS test?
Should i get used to British accent before taking the test?
+Talgatbek Kainarov Hi Talgatbek, Thanks for your question. You need to be familiar with the British accent for the Listening Section. However, for speaking it is absolutely okay to reflect the American accent.
U r such a good teacher
Thank you.
hii i am from india my question is the exam which u take from student is real or just for practicse i am ur subscriber plzz tell
Any interview you see online is an example - real exams are never filmed as this is not allowed.
Her capability in speaking is just perfect... How comes she gets 0.5 point off?
She sounds kind of stiff
best so far
Thank you very much indeed
I would like to prepare myself for ilets exam .I need your advice.
Thanks.
his brows are on fleek!
Hi Christy, since IELTS interviews are forced situations (they do not naturally occur on a street or in a cafeteria), it is common for the examiner and candidate to both be on fleek. Do not focus on this too much, instead concentrate on answering questions well to get a good score. www.aehelp.com/full-course
aha you got me! don't worry, i did get a lot out of this vid. but i just couldn't help noticing his eyebrows :P thanks for making these vids, it really helps a lot!
You are most welcome. Keep up the good studies and keep your eyes on the prize.
In Australiaq, this performance will be marked down to 8 for speaking.I did perform much bettyer than her but ending up as 8 ONLY. I used to get 8.5 for speaking, but it is no longer the case. It is quite impossible to get that high
I think the words she used are too simple and she didnt elaborate enough.
i hope i can improve my oral English under your help, though it's really hard for me
How come she didn't get band 9 ? she speaks very naturally and clearly she speaks fluently without any stops at all I'm too scared now not to get any score lol
She needs to go into more detail on some of the questions to show more complex language.
If I can take this exam using my mother tongue, then I have confidence to get at least band 8 as well.
I thought the examiners would discount for talking colloquially... Are you 100% sure that they won't? I tend to say things like " wanna ", " 'cause " or " 'til " a lot and they're very difficult to get rid of
I got 7.5 in 2000 and got 6.5 in 2010 after 10 years at uni and work.
The woman's English ascent is practically the same as native speakers, yet she only gets 8.5. can't believe this.
The score is not just for speaking as a native English speaker, but also for the actual response given to each question.
