Pulling off a high band Score in IELTS exam is crucial for

basically designed to check your fluency in spoken English. So, there are
numerous things that you need to take care about.

While pronunciation and grammatical
accuracy can be achieved by practice and thereby increase your fluency,
vocabulary is something you will have to learn over time. Note down all the new
words you come across making sure to use them in your everyday speaking.

Never use stereotype phrases: “I love listening to music” – “I
love travelling.”  These phrases are
used mostly by everyone, so in place of that use new words for describing:

-I am fond of
listening to music

-I am a keen traveler

-Writing down new vocabs started
growing on me quite recently

-I get a lot of
pleasure working in the garden

-Instead of saying “Can
you please repeat the question,” especially on the day of your   speaking
test if cannot not understand the question, you could tell your examiner:

·    –Would you mind rephrasing the statement/question?

·    – I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that

-In a sentence while talking you intend
to express or suggest something,

-You can say it as “What I mean is…..”
or “what I am implying is….” Or “what I am trying to say is”…..

• Use fillers accordingly instead of long pauses or umm….

·           – That’s an interesting question, let me think for a moment…

·           –That’s a difficult question, let me think for a second….
