Hi
After listening to some more of the recordings on the website that I recommended in the post ‘Listening to British, American and other accents‘, I realised that some of them are also examples of IELTS-type speaking.
There’s one recording, for example, where the speakers are making comparisons; this is something that you’ll probably be asked to do in your IELTS speaking test.
To give you some practice, here’s a selection of speaking questions from past IELTS tests that have been published.
The first two questions are asking you to compare different parts of your country; the last two questions are asking you to compare your country in the past with how it is now.
- Which parts of your country do most people live in? Why?
- Are some parts of your country colder than others?
- Has the place that you grew up changed much since you were a child?
- Has your country changed much since you were a child?
Check out the recording at elllo, notice how the two speakers compare the cost of living in various cities, and then think about how you would answer the IELTS speaking questions above.
