Introduction

IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It tests all four language skills:

listening, reading, writing and speaking. It is intended for people who want to study or

work in an English-speaking country.

There are two versions of the test, the Academic and the General Training module.

The Academic module is for those who want to study or train in an English-speaking

university. University admission to undergraduate and postgraduate courses is based on

the results of the Academic test.

The General Training module is mainly for those who are going to English-speaking

countries to do secondary education or get a job and focuses on basic survival skills in

social and workplace environments.

The Speaking test is the same for both the Academic and the General Training

modules, so this book is appropriate for candidates preparing for either of the two

versions of the IELTS exam.

The Speaking test consists of a discussion with an examiner and lasts I I - 14 minutes with

three parts. In Part I, candidates have to answer personal questions about themselves and

their families. In Part 2, they have to speak about a topic and in Part 3, they have a longer

discussion on the same topic.
