IELTS SPEAKING TASK

Speaking 2020/1/1--2020/4/30
Duration: 11–14 minutes
In the Speaking test, you have a discussion with a certified examiner. It is

interactive and as close to a real-life situation as a test can get.
There are three parts to the test and each part fulfills a specific function in
terms of interaction pattern, task input and candidate output.
In Part 1, you answer questions about yourself and your family. In Part 2, you
speak about a topic. In Part 3, you have a longer discussion on the topic.
The Speaking test is the same for both Academic and General Training tests.
Each of the three parts are designed to test a different aspect of your
communication ability.
