Hi, my name is Emma, and in today's lesson we are going to be looking at the IELTS. The

0:10

IELTS is a test that a lot of ESL students have to take when they want to go to a Canadian

0:17

university, an Australian university, an English university. So when they want to study overseas

0:24

or often times, when they want to immigrate to one of these countries. Okay? So we're

0:30

looking specifically at the speaking part of the IELTS, part two. So the IELTS speaking

0:36

task is split up into three sections. We are going to be looking at section two in this

0:43

video. Okay, so let me first explain what happens

0:47

in section two, and then we are going to look at some tips on what you should do if you

0:53

want to do well on this section, and things you shouldn't do. Okay? So let's get started.

1:00

So, in part two of the speaking component of the IELTS, you will be speaking for about

1:09

two minutes. Okay? So this part lasts for about three minutes, so you have three minutes.

1:16

The first minute you will be handed a question card. Okay?

1:20

So here is an example of a question card. It will tell you, often times, to describe

1:27

something. "Describe a museum that you have visited." It will tell you what you need to

1:33

say. You should say:

1:34

* Where it is * Why you went there

1:36

* What you particularly remember This is just an example. Okay? So it can be

1:41

on different topics, but you will get a card that looks something like this. Okay? So you

1:46

have one minute to look at the question and to make notes, and to think: "Okay, what am

1:53

I going to say?" So that takes one minute, and then after that the examiner will tell

1:59

you: "Okay, you can begin." You must talk for one to two minutes. A lot

2:07

of students actually consider this the hardest part of the speaking component because it's

2:13

not a dialogue. Okay? The examiner isn't asking you questions and you're giving responses,

2:19

and you're going back and forth. In this part of the IELTS, you just talk and you talk for

2:25

one to two minutes. So a lot of students find this difficult because talking for two minutes,

2:32

even for some native speakers, is a little difficult. Okay, so that's what's going to

2:37

happen in this part. Okay? So what are some of the topics you might be

2:46

asked about in this part of the IELTS? Well, topics often covered include: you might be

2:56

asked about a precious item, so you might have to describe a precious item that you

3:00

own. You might have to say something about where you bought it from or: how did you get

3:06

it, what does it look like, why is it so precious? You might be asked about a special day, a

3:14

sporting event that you went to or a concert, a special trip or journey or vacation, people

3:22

who have influenced you. For example: they might ask you to describe your favourite teacher.

3:29

What was she like? Why was she so great? You might be asked about a book, music, a television

3:38

program, a movie you saw or even items of clothing. Okay, so sometimes you're asked

3:46

about historical buildings, you might be asked about a neighbourhood in your city. The key

3:53

thing that you probably will be asked is this question is often about description, not always,

4:01

but usually you have to describe something. And then they usually have three questions,

4:07

they can be: who, what, when, where, why? Okay? So these are the types of questions

4:15

that they ask. All right, so now let's look at some things

4:19

you can do in order to do well on this part of the IELTS. Okay, so what are some of the

4:25

"Dos" for the IELTS, the speaking part? Okay, number one -- very, very important -- take

4:33

notes. You're given one minute where you get to look at the question, and you're given

4:39

a pencil and you can take notes, do it. Take notes. A lot of ESL students, they think,

4:45

"Ah, I don't really want to take notes, it's a waste of time. I know what I'm going to
