Category: Part 1 Practice Questions

On this page you’ll find a collection of possible IELTS speaking questions for part 1 of the IELTS speaking test. Some of these questions have appeared in actual IELTS exam while others are similar and might appear in the real exam.

All of the questions require you to use the language skills necessary to achieve a high band score in the IELTS speaking test. When you practice, you should try to be fluent. Therefore, the length of your answer will depend on how fluent you are.

For instance, if you struggle to speak, then you will score higher by providing short, concise, and accurate answers that are just one sentence long than long answers filled with mistakes and hesitations. On the other hand, if you have strong fluency, then you can provide answers that are 4-5 sentences long.

You should also try to use idiomatic language and vocabulary that are specific to the topic, paraphrasing words from the question where possible.
