Is there any chance that examiner would change the questions after if we say no to what he asked
For instance examiner: Do you often use dictionary
speaker : NO
No, the examiner won’t change the topic. Just because you don’t use dictionaries often doesn’t mean your English language will fail and stop. You can still talk about what you do know, how you learn new words, when you use a dictionary, what you used them for in schools (or why you didn’t use them) etc etc. This is not testing your knowledge. Part 1 topics are about everyday life which you can talk about whether you like the topic or not.
Hello Liz. Thanks so much for all the time. I am writing my speaking test on 7th this month. Please, can I get some recommendations and things to practice prior the time?
There is no set list. It depends on how much you know and how much you have already prepared. Use the RED MENU BAR to open the speaking section of this site and review all tips and lessons. Good luck 🙂
Alright. Thank you.
thanks 😊

Hello Liz!
About this subject, there are also technical dictionaries. Those dictionaries explain technical words related to an activity or profession which sometimes can`t be found in the regular ones, or the meaning for the specific subject often differs from the general use.
Your webpage is awesome! It helps me a lot.
Cheers!
Thank you! Absolutely! My Grandfather actually wrote dictionaries and one of them as a dictionary of medical language for foreigners. I’m shamed that I forgot it!!
Could I know the name of your Grandfather’s dictionary? Thanks in advance!
My Grandfather wrote a number of books for English Language Learners. One was the Oxford University Press Dictionary of Idioms and the Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs. However, these were older editions – not the new editions. My Grandfather has been dead for a few decades now. He also wrote a medical dictionary for Spanish speakers and some other books that I don’t remember.
You are unique madam..
I will love to meet you in future
Wonderful Liz. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing, indeed sharing is caring . God bless you.
It is very useful for my preparation of Ielts.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Liz.
I AM FROM ALGERIA
AND I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WONDERFUL
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Hi Liz,
Is it expected to hamper my band scope if I use a word or a phrase that is strictly not english. E.g., Ad nauseum or QED?
You have to explain it if you use it. Some expressions are actually used in English, for example “dejavu” which is a French word now used in the English language. But it is a foreign word, not used in English, make sure you explain it.
Thanks Liz for the free resources on this website. My speaking test is scheduled for January 17th, 2018. How I wish I had come across your website much earlier but I have learned a lot from your website.
Thanks.
Review all my main speaking tips: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-speaking-free-lessons-essential-tips/. Then review last minute tips for each part of the test: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-exam-tips-on-the-day/. Good luck!
Mine is on 17th too. Hope I’d be able to use all your tricks and get the desired results. Thanks a lot.
Hlo Liz
Today my speaking test
So give me information about recent cue cards
http://www.ieltsliz.com/recent-ielts-questions-and-topics
hello mam my speaking is not well so give any tips for me which for me more helpful
See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-speaking-free-lessons-essential-tips/
Hello Liz.
I’m supposed to sit for my speaking exams on the 15th of January but I’m still finding the second section to be quite tricky any ideas on how I can hundle this section.
Do you think the examiner will mark your ideas? Do you think the examiner will mark if you go off topic? If you think those things, you are wrong. Your aim is to plan what extra information you will give:
1) past memories of your own
2) comparisons
3) descriptions of people and places
4) future hopes and desires
It is your task to add more of your own feels, experiences, descriptions etc. Follow the prompts but also add your own prompts.
dear Liz,
Please provide some topics for part 1 IELTS speaking that are held these days.
Thank you so much
You need to review recent topics: http://www.ieltsliz.com/recent-ielts-questions-and-topics and also common topics which can also appear: https://ieltsliz.com/ielts-speaking-part-1-topics/
Thanks for the advice.
I’m working to get a band score 7 and above which I’m sure I’m going to manage.

Hi liz, your page has helped me a lot but my problem is that how will I improve my vocabulary , fluency , grammar and also how to elaborate my answers. Some of the questions got me thinking, how will I answer any question without thinking that long. Please Liz, I need you help urgently. Betty from Nigeria.

Hi liz . in the topic of study I want to know what is the different between “My Subject” and “My Major” .. like i’m study architecture .. is it subject or major ?
and thank you so much ^^
The word “major” is mainly used in degrees whilst the word subject can be used for degrees, school etc.
Hello Everyone,
I have found all this material very useful, however, I just presented the IELTS few weeks ago and I had this question about an historic event in my country. I have seen and there is no examples given for this answer, so I recommend you to keep it in mind.
Thanks for sharing 🙂 An historic event could be anything – a war, a declaration, a new law, the day something opened or closed etc. Almost anything you can think of.
Hi,
My name is Aamir. I have appeared in IELTS twice before and always get 7.5 band as an average score. Since my IELTS has expired I shall appear again on the 4th of coming march but I do not find any time to prepare for it.
Do you think I could maintain my score with a daily practice of 1 hour?
Aamir Saeed
Try doing one hour a day and then do a practice test to see what your score is: https://ieltsliz.com/useful-websites-and-resources-for-ielts/. If your score is low, you will need to do more studying.
thanks Liz madam… i appreciate your effort

Hi liz, I’m very happy to have known this site may God continue to bless u everyday as u help people like me. I have a question though, can one access a speaking ielts band 9 example either written or spoken without youtube? Cos my phone can hardly access that site. Lots of love from Nigeria
All model answers on this website are band 9 and do not require youtube. See each of the main pages on the red nav bar.

hello dear Liz
I appreciate your effort
hi liz , your website is really helpful , I have recomanded it to my other fellows , i wanted to ask you one Question , there is a word ” hitherto ” tell me can i use this word in my speaking test ? like can i say something like this ” hitherto i am not doing studies nor job but yes i have so splendid plans for my studies??? please answer
IELTS speaking is an informal test so it would be unnatural to use such a word in speaking.
All the best
Liz
