IELTS Speaking 8.5 Master Plan. Master Speaking Strategies & Speaking Vocabulary for the Real Test, Including 100+ IELTS Speaking Activities: IELTS Speaking Book 1

I believe in keeping things simple whenever possible, so I’m going to keep this introduction short, so you can focus on the important things. This master plan is simple. Follow it, and you will increase your speaking band score. In this book, you have the tools you need to increase your speaking score to 8.5 by improving your vocabulary, grammar and coherence. I have not included pronunciation guides in the book, as I know that pronunciation comes from hearing English, absorbing the sounds and then practising them. No book can provide this for you unfortunately, and any books that promise to do this are not telling you the truth. The IELTS speaking test is exactly the same for both IELTS Academic and for IELTS general. It lasts for 11 to 14 minutes and consists of three parts.Part one of the IELTS speaking test is basically an introduction for you as the candidate and for the examiner. It gives you both an opportunity to get comfortable and gives the examiner an initial general idea of your level of English. There’s no need to feel nervous here. I know that it’s very difficult not to feel a little bit nervous but try to think of this as a friendly informal chat with a friend or an acquaintance. The examiner wants you to succeed in the IELTS test, and if you can show your personality and feel relaxed enough to show the examiner your level of English you will succeed.
