As in the previous sections, Magda’s pronunciation was excellent. “life expectancy is much, much bigger”, “support system” and “the least problems”. Magda’s grammatical range was again appropriately varied and her accuracy was very good, though not without error, i.e. “consume themselves in frugal lifestyle” and “retiring people”. ![]() There were, however, some moments of awkwardness as well, i.e. Her use of the conjunction “moreover” was well used too. “psychological and physiological problems” and “impact significantly”. Magda’s lexical resource was again good and she showed she could access higher-level vocabulary, i.e. Her coherence was not really affected and she communicated her ideas without too many problems and she provided varied and intelligent answers. Magda produced a good section 3, though her fluency was affected by the more demanding questions. Magda’s accent was again non-intrusive and allowed excellent communication. Magda’s grammatical range was again good and accurate, though not without error, i.e. Although it was not wrong, it sounded a bit awkward. Her vocabulary range was again very good, though I felt that “and” was used too many times to help develop her monologue. Magda also again used humour to add to what she wanted to say. She mostly spoke quite slowly, but this is not a problem – people talk at different speeds. Magda spoke clearly, coherently and fluently in section 2. She just achieved the time required for section 1, but developing her answers more would have been more impressive. She had an almost negligible Polish accent, which did not affect communication in any way. Magda’s grammar usage was varied and accurate. ![]() There were also some examples of higher-level language, i.e. Magda had a good resource of lexis and she only occasionally used an awkward word or phrase (i.e. She also used some humour at appropriate times to express her feelings. Although she was occasionally a little hesitant (due to nervousness and to access ideas rather than language it seemed), she spoke mostly fluently and communicated what she wanted to say coherently all the way through. In section 1, Magda showed that she had a good and confident command of English. Make sure you read this before looking at the scores he gave Magda in every criterion, because this explains the reasons she got those scores. This section shows you what goes on in the examiner’s mind when he rates a Speaking test. You are expected to give longer, more elaborate answers and talk in-depth about the topics your examiner brings up. Part 3 is a longer discussion where the examiner asks you questions related to Part 2 topic. Another difference between Part 2 and the other parts is that in Part 2 you get 1 minute preparation time and you can write down some ideas to talk about. Part 2 is different, because you receive a single topic to talk about for 1 to 2 minutes, with 4 bullet points you should cover in your speech. In Part 1 you should expect personal questions on familiar topics, for instance about your job or studies, your home, your family, etc. This video shows you what happens on the test day in the real examination room. Magda is doing a full simulated IELTS Speaking test with an examiner, who is asking her typical IELTS Speaking test questions. The video you are about to watch features a Polish student, Magda, who is answering questions from Speaking Test 18 in “High Scorer’s Choice” IELTS Practice Tests book series.
