IELTS speaking exam... what to know before you go on the exam

Who is the Examiner?

Any native English speaker that is a professional teacher

He/She have received specific IELTS training to make sure they judge you fairly and honestly.

What the examiner listens for?

Pronunciation - Speak clearly and you will be all right.

Vocabulary - using words incorrectly will LOWER your score! Avoid using difficult words or expressions unless you are sure of how to use them.

Sentence Structure - Using better sentences is the best way to improve your speaking score in a short time.

Fluency and Coherence - Of course fluency is very important but it is useless if you are not understood (if you are not "coherent"). You do NOT have to speak quickly, but too many hesitations are bad.

Your Score

If you cannot make good sentences, if you hesitate too much, if your speaking is not clear or if you use words incorrectly, you will be Band 4 or below.

To be Band 5, you can make mistakes and have hesitations, but you must make simple sentences easily and without mistakes.

To be Band 6, you must be able to use longer sentences with fewer hesitations. You need to use a variety of language. You can make some small mistakes if your meaning is still clear. Also, you should be able paraphrase. To be Band 7, you should be able to do Part 2 with no problem. You must use a variety of sentences and connect the sentences well. You must correctly use difficult vocabulary. You can make very small mistakes if your meaning is clear. You should be able to paraphrase very well.

To be Band 8, you need a very wide vocabulary and the ability to speak fluently on any topic. You may make a few tiny errors, if those errors do not get in the way of communication.

article take and adapted from:http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article251007.ece

The Rocket Man has entered cyberspace with all guns blazing. He claims it is destroying good music, saying: “The internet has stopped people from going out and being with each other. Instead they sit at home and make their own records, which is sometimes OK but in general it kills artistic vision." Elton strongly believes it's going to change the way people listen to music and that it's killing communication. He is hoping that a new movement is going to tear down the internet. Multi-millionaire Elton, who turned 60 earlier this year, has said in the past that he is a bit behind the times. He also claimed that he doesn't own a mobile phone or an iPod or anything of that sort.

Sales of Elton’s last album The Captain & The Kid were disappointing? it barely shifted 100,000 copies. Sir Elt has embraced the web in other ways. On His 60th birthday he held a concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden that was streamed live over the internet.The singer also announced that his albums would be made available for digital download. Sir Elton complained about the quality of music which is being released. He claims that in the early 70's everything that was released was high quality, while today it's not.
