BBC Learning English - BBC Learning English - Homepage Daily Grammar - Improve your writing with our free grammar lessons Ten don'ts for the IELTS speaking test Should you use big words in the IELTS speaking test? Chris Pell, winner of the British Council’s Teaching English blog award for his post helping IELTS students with pronunciation, gives us his advice in the second part of his list of dos and don'ts for the IELTS speaking test. Read part one for the dos. Don’t memorise answers Lots of people think that the best way to do well in the speaking test is to remember scripted answers and simply use these in the test. This is a bad idea because memorised answers are very obvious and examiners are trained to spot them. Don't worry about the examiner’s opinion I was surprised when some students told me that you can only do well on the speaking test if the examiner agrees with your opinion. Don't insert lots of ‘big’ words A common misconception is that you must have very long, ‘complicated’ words in every sentence to get a high score on the test. Don't show off your grammar This point is connected to the previous one. Don't say nothing Don't be late

Ten dos for the IELTS speaking test Is it OK to correct yourself in the IELTS speaking test?

Do practise at home Speaking is a skill and just like any other skill it requires many hours of practice. For a more detailed guide on how to prepare for the IELTS test at home, see these 25 online tools for learning a language at home.

Do extend your answers It is not a good idea to give very short answers in the IELTS test and you should try to extend your answers. Do master functional language Do use natural spoken English

Many test-takers assume grammar in speaking is only about accuracy and not making any mistakes. This is only half the story. Making errors is natural, and IELTS understands this: even IELTS Speaking Band 7 expects that ‘some grammatical mistakes persist’. To avoid mistakes, it helps to think about the tenses you use, and ensure these tenses relate to the questions being asked. So, if the question asked is What did you do at work today? However, grammar is also about showing a range of grammatical structures. How can you demonstrate a wider range of grammar in your speaking? Let’s look at an example Part 2 prompt: Describe your favourite film. You might have thought of some of these tenses: Practice task Practise this process with other Speaking Part 2 prompts. Useful grammar practice resources As ever, practice is the key.
