60 Topics for IELTS Speaking with Model Answers

The first part of the book gives an overview of the IELTS speaking test and its requirements in terms of the test criteria. It includes sections on vocabulary, grammar and parts of speech that students can use to help them meet the requirements for a score of band 6 or above. The second part of the book provides 60 topic areas for the three parts of the test with questions and suggestions for creating individual answers and for active practice with a partner. These topics and questions are based on actual topics and questions that appear in the IELTS Speaking Module. There is, inevitably, some overlap of topic areas. However, this reflects the situation that students are likely to meet in the real IELTS speaking test.

The suggestions provided with the topics and questions are not the only ways to answer the questions, but they provide starting points for candidates who are having difficulty finding ideas. Students should, of course, aim to supplement them with others that they have learnt during their English studies and with their own ideas based on their personal experiences.

This NEW EDITION also contains a model answer for each question, which students can use as a basis for their own answers when they are preparing for the IELTS speaking module. These model answers introduce students to vocabulary and structures that improve their spoken English.
