[1/29, 17:45] Tash: *IELTS Listening Test Information*

There is only one listening test for all IELTS candidates. That means Academic and GT candidates will
take the same listening test with the same scoring.

1. The IELTS listening test lasted for a total of 40 mins.

2. The IELTS listening recording will last for 30 mins.

3. There are four parts to the IELTS Listening test: *1. Conversation between

*2 people: social context 2. A speech or talk with just one person: social context

*3. Conversation between up to four people: educational or training context

*4. A talk by one person on an academic subject

*5. Please note again that all IELTS candidates take the same listening test. The GT candidates take the
same listening test.

4. For the paper based listening test, you must listen and write your answers on the questions paper at
the same time. After the recording ends, you will be given an extra 10 mins to transfer your answers
from the question paper to the answer sheet.
5. For the computer delivered IELTS listening test, put your answers directly into the computer. You are
NOT given 10 mins to transfer answers because the answers are already in the computer. Instead you
have 2 mins to review your answers and change anything you need to. This is the only difference
between the paper and computer listening test.

6. For each set of questions there will be a word count limit – you need to pay close attention to the
limit and how it changes for the next set of questions.

*1. For example: write no more than two words and/or a number – you can write one word, two words
OR a combination of one or two words with a number OR just a number on its own. Always notice if it
allows “a number” or “numbers”.

7.You will have time to read the questions before the recording starts.

8. If the word is spelled wrong, it will be marked wrong.

[1/9, 07:38] Mandaza IELTS Coach: *10 Tips to Ace the Cue Card Section of the IELTS Speaking Test*

Are you preparing for the IELTS Speaking exam?

Maybe you find Part 2 or the “Cue Card” section very challenging because it requires you to speak
continuously for two minutes on a given topic.

Stop Worrying! In this step-by-step guide, I will provide you with tips and strategies to excel in this
section and boost your overall speaking score.
What is IELTS Speaking Part 2?

The second component of the IELTS speaking test, IELTS Speaking Part 2, accounts for 25% of the total
speaking score. You will be handed a cue card with a topic written on it in this section, and you will have
one minute to prepare your response. Then, for two minutes, you must speak continually on that issue.
Your fluency, coherence, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and ability to convey ideas and opinions
will all be evaluated by the examiner.

*Step 1: Understand the Cue Card*

When the examiner offers you the cue card, read it carefully to ensure you understand the topic. Pay
attention to the prompts or questions supplied, since these will guide what you say. Highlight the
keywords and think about related ideas or examples. Do not panic if you are unfamiliar with the subject.
To come up with a coherent response, rely on your general knowledge, personal experiences, or
imagination.

*Step 2: Plan Your Response*

You have one minute to compose your response, so make the most of it. Make a quick outline of your
main ideas or key points on the paper provided. This will help you in structuring your response and
ensuring that you cover all of the relevant information during your two-minute speaking time. Keep it
simple and well-organized, and avoid writing entire sentences because you may end up reading from
your notes during the speaking test, which will lower your score.

*Step 3: Start Speaking*

When your one minute of preparation is over, the examiner will instruct you to begin speaking. Begin
your response by briefly presenting the issue. Use a concise and clear statement to provide the
examiner with an overview of what you will be discussing. If the cue card says to talk about someone
famous, for example, you can begin by saying, "I'd like to talk about someone famous who has had a
major influence on society."

*Step 4: Provide Details and Examples*

After you've presented the topic, begin expanding on your main ideas or important points. To make your
response more interesting and engaging, include particular details, examples, and anecdotes to support
your viewpoint. Try to speak naturally and clearly, without rushing or pausing for too long. Use a variety
of sentence structures and words to display your language skills and ability to convey your thoughts
effectively.

*Step 5: Use Linking Words and Phrases*

Use linking words and phrases to connect your ideas and create a smooth flow to improve the
coherence and cohesiveness of the communication. "First and foremost," "in addition," "however," "on
the other hand," "for example," "as a result," and "in conclusion" are examples of linking words and
phrases. These words and phrases will assist you in moving from one thought to the next, making your
speech more cohesive and easy to follow.

*Step 6: Time Management*

Effective time management is essential in IELTS Speaking Part 2. Make sure to pace yourself so that you
can speak for the full two minutes. Avoid remaining silent if you finish speaking before the timer runs
out. Instead, utilise the remaining time to expand on your points or provide more examples. If you are
short on time, try to finish your speech by summarising your key points and providing a clear conclusion.

*Step 7: Practice, Practice, Practice*

As with any language skill, practise is essential for boosting your performance in IELTS Speaking Part 2.
Using the cue card method and practise speaking on a range of topics. Time yourself to ensure you can
finish your response in the allotted two minutes. Use a range of vocabulary and sentence structures to
practise speaking naturally. You can also practise with a study partner or record yourself to analyse your
performance and identify areas for improvement.

*Step 8: Pronunciation and Intonation*

Pronunciation and intonation are critical for clearly communicating your views. Pay attention to your
word pronunciation, syllable stress, and intonation patterns to make your speech sound natural and
fluent. Practice speaking at a slow but steady pace, with appropriate pauses and emphasis on crucial
words. Remember to change your tone and pitch to add emotion to your speech.

*Step 9: Stay Calm and Confident*

It is normal to feel nervous during the speaking test, but it is critical to remain calm and confident.
Before you begin speaking, take a deep breath and attempt to maintain a comfortable and natural
speaking style. Don't be anxious if you don't know a word or phrase. Use paraphrase or synonyms to
explain your ideas. Long pauses and filler words such as "um" and "uh" can lower your fluency score.
Remember that the examiner is not testing your ideas, but rather your ability to effectively
communicate them.

*Step 10: Be Yourself*

Finally, during the speaking test, be yourself. Don't try to imitate native speakers or memorise answers.
Examiners are interested in your ability to communicate in English, so concentrate on presenting your
own ideas and opinions. Make your communication more authentic and interesting by using your own
distinctive voice and personality. Be engaged and enthusiastic about your topic, and show a genuine
interest in discussing it.

In conclusion, IELTS Speaking Part 2 may seem challenging, but with proper preparation and practice,
you can excel in this section. Remember to understand the cue card, plan your response, provide details
and examples, use linking words and phrases, manage your time, practice, work on pronunciation and
intonation, stay calm and confident, and be yourself. Follow this step-by-step guide, and you will be well
on your way to achieving a high score in IELTS Speaking Part 2.

To summarize, IELTS Speaking Part 2 may appear difficult, but with good preparation and practice, you
can excel in this section. Remember to read the cue card carefully, plan your response, provide
information and examples, use linking words and phrases, manage your time, practise, work on
pronunciation and intonation, remain calm and confident, and be yourself. If you follow this step-by-
step strategy, you will be well on your way to a good IELTS Speaking Part 2 score.

[1/29, 17:45] Tash: *6 Tips to Boost your IELTS Listening*

1. Know the test!

What are the question types? (Each question type requires a separate strategy.)

What is the format?

What is expected from me for each part of the test?

What skills do I need?

2. Practice, practice, practice

Improve your listening skills by becoming an active listener. Films and TV series may be fun to watch, but
going further will make a big difference. Listen to a variety of English language resources, such as
podcasts, news reports and Ted talks, which will expose you to new vocabulary and different accents.

3. It’s all about the keywords

During the test, the recording will be played just once, and you will be given time to read the
instructions and questions before the recording starts. Again, as you read the questions, underline the
keywords, and try to predict the context of the recordings – who will be speaking, what the speech will
be about.

4. Beware of distractors

What you hear first may not be the right answer, so watch out for distractors. For example, the speaker
may say one thing, but then reverse their answer. You may also find that the speaker mentions all the
options with slight differences in meaning. Pay attention to the details.
5. Don’t wait too long to hear the answer

If you feel like you’ve waited too long to hear the answer, the chances are you’ve already missed it. A big
advantage of the IELTS listening test is that you don’t need to go back and forth to answer the questions;
they are all in order, so just relax!

6. Transfer your answers carefully

At the end of the paper-based test, you get an extra ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer
sheet. Take care with spelling and capitalisation. If you’re unsure about the correct capitalisation, you
can write your answers in all capitals. Take one last look at your answers to ensure they are
grammatically accurate and you’ve followed all instructions.
