Hi Clemwell, Quality of answers, mainly. Her responses are excellent, but perhaps some more complex phrasings could have given her a 9.0. These are not points to worry about, however, unless you are aiming for 9.0. Instead, focus on the strategies and skills you need to master to get your goal score (for most students, this is 6.5-7.5).
Thank you very much for responding. I never anticipated such fast yet informative response. Yes, I aim for a 9 because I plan to be an IELTS instructor here in the Philippines. Having watched the video twice, I agree that her sentences were quite basic, however smooth and flawless they were. So I'll definitely take note of the complexity of syntax. Thanks again!!! =)
Highest band score is not only for native speakers. I took the academic IELTS in June, and scored 8.5 with speaking. I am a non-native speaker, and living the whole my life in non-english speaking places in Africa & Asia. Non-native speaker, you can manage scoring the highest band as long as you are careful, structured, and know what you are speaking druing an interview.
Hello , Just wanted to share my experience and would like to say that watching your videos proved to be extremely helpful for my General IELTS exam . I have got an overall score of "7.5" at first attempt (Listening - 6.0, Reading - 7.0, Writing - 7.5 and Speaking 8.5) . I could have done better but was not well in the morning and missed some listening questions ;-) However, I would like to thanks for your great tips which are very helpful!!!
@@meharaligarments6835 For sure. The best person to practice that with is you if you can’t manage to get someone else. Otherwise, a suitable work environment or a group of students will be good.
bhawna kapoor Hi Bhawna, That's great, I am very happy to hear that and CONGRATULATIONS! The best of luck in your future endeavors from the team at www.aehelp.com
they wanna be a nurse or a doctor. Doctors must achieve an overall score of 7.5 (out of 9), with a minimum 7.0 in the four papers. Nurses must achieve and overall score of 7.0 with a minimum 7.0 in the four papers. There is no room for error on the test day. Scoring 7.0 at IELTS is no different to achieving an A at A Level or scoring highly in an undergraduate exam.
I hate the cue card system. It's hard to make up stories in just one minute. I just thought, if i were in her place i wouldn't be able to say a word about Art piece . Cause i've never seen one in my life. and i don't have any interest in it. I know there's no solution for my problem. so i have a question, if i make up name of artist and and describe an art that doesn't exist , would it be okay?
Yes, absolutely it is okay to make up an answer. *However, this is usually more difficult than to think of a real example. I strongly recommend searching your memory bank first for information before trying to improvise a story. Great question, and the best of luck.
I think that if you are able to make up an answer it means that your English is really good. Even in our native language is too hard to lie sometimes and make up a story is even harder
Practice Jean, practice, practice, practice. In a sense, many of the questions on the IELTS tests not only your English ability but also your aptitude for creativity! I'm sure if you give it some practice at home, you will get the hang of it. Good studies from the team at www.aehelp.com
Dear AE Help Team, I just want to thank you so much for helping so many people who want to improve each day. I did the IELTS test three weeks ago. Today I received my score: Listenning 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.0 and Speaking 6.5 getting an overall band score of 6.5. I feel very happy about my score, but once again, thank you very much for all your videos because their were the only method I used to prepare myself to the exam... Thanks!

How do people in your country prefer to travel? Why?
One of our IELTS student asked us today why a native speaker in one of our IELTS Speaking section training videos did not receive a 9.0 score (she received an 8.5 instead). Here was our response: The main reason this student did not score 9.0 was the quality of her answers. Her responses are excellent, but perhaps some more complex phrasings could have given her a 9.0. A big point to note here, however, is that these reasons do not matter! These are not points to worry about unless you are aiming for 9.0. If you are at a 5.5 level and attempt to implement the complex phrasings that would have given this student a 9.0, you will not be successful! Why? Because you need to build up to this skill level. Prematurely attempting to do "too much" in the speaking section will result in a lower score. Instead, focus on the strategies and skills you need to master to get your goal score (for most students, this is 6.5-7.5). Here is the video in question: ruclips.net/video/xajnJJ76S94/видео.html For more IELTS help, visit www.aehelp.com
+AcademicEnglishHelp I had 9 for Speaking a couple of years ago, but I now need to re-take the test. Obviously, it would be a shame to get anything lower than 9. The fact that a native speaker managed to somehow get a 8.5 is hugely discouraging, though I can quite see that her answers were a little simplistic.

Hi all! Just wanted to share my experience with you because I feel like a lot of us are really nervous when it comes to taking the speaking test. It is quite nerve wrecking but you can do it! I got a 9 in speaking and 8.5 overall. Test was taken in Canada. I've spent quite some time here so I speak like a native speaker, but like what the comment says not all native speakers can get a 9 as you have to show a certain level of expertise on your topic. You need to be articulate and show no difficulty in conversing on something scientific/factual. What really separates an 8.5 from a 9 is precision and clarity of thought. If you just talk in every day speech it won't get you anywhere; you gotta be precise and make sure what you say really hits the nail on the head. Think before you speak! Good luck!
Hi Lee, cool u must be great in English study. Can you share more expeirience how to get 8.5 or above? I will have one in Januray 17 and only have around two weeks to practice, can u give some strategies or recommedations? For example, do I need to revise a lot or what parts I need to focus on during these days? Thanks¬! - Lesley
luvfaye lee I think you should focus on being articulate, as in you need to be coherent and precise and try not to say a bunch of words when only one of them accurately conveys the meaning for you. I had exams when I took the test but I thought I at least needed to familiarize myself with the format---which I did, but I also made sure whatever I said I wouldn't have said it any other way, as in it mirrored my thoughts perfectly as if I was thinking out loud. Precision is key!
I'm really sorry but I'm a uni student and I don't have time to do that given school and everything. You can start by watching more TV shows and understanding without any subtitles. I hope this helps.
@@letswatch1480 use VR chat buddy. i was an avid gamer in my pre-teens. now i'm 18 and have an almost American accent. i mean people can't even make it out that i'm indian. Edit: I've also lived in a boarding school since I was 11. And the school consisted of kids from various parts of the world so we collectively chose to speak in English. Also I was privileged enough to get into the best Business school in the country last year.... So yeah props to that...
I played this to one student who's pretending to apply for this test and we both found it pretty useful and straight to the point. Very interesting and educational. Congrats!
Good evening sir Am just here to say Thankyou because I feel like have show gratitude. I had to write the exams as soon as possible and only had one week to practice. I received my test results yesterday and the following is what I scored : Read 5.5, listening 6.0, writing 7.0 and speaking 7.5 overall band 6.5. I was not expecting to do this well; During my test all I had in my head was your guidelines and advice. Thank you and keep up the good work
Hello, I just received my IELTS Indicative test results and my scores were as such. L=8.5, R=9, W=7.5, S=7. Overall = 8. I am a bit disappointed with my Speaking score are I have been speaking in english all my life. :( However, thank you very much for the videos. I only used to watch your videos to prepare and I hardly prepared for a week. I also referred the booklet I received from IELTS for preparation. Thank you again for helping me get a general idea of what the format of the test is and how to answer each section. The tips were great too! Thank you again! I am very happy with my overall score!
Hi ! Congratulations on ur really high scores!, I wish i could get that too. How could u get such L & R high scores? How was S ?, was it that difficult for u? Bye! :)
I've been an English speaker all my life so I'm actually a bit disappointed with my speaking scores. It wasn't difficult but the topic I was given was something I didn't have much knowledge about. So I wasn't prepared and did end up saying something silly. Maybe that's why the low score. But I expected more. Reading is actually tough. That's what I said after my test. The passages are quite difficult so I spent a lot of time cross checking my answers so it helped. For listening, being alert is the key. Normally I read a lot of novels so that helped, maybe u should do that too. And for listening, listen to news particularly British speakers coz if u aren't familiar with the accent it might be extremely difficult. Good luck.
Maybe u just can invent stories about thinks being asked (no matter u don´t know the topic) for next time!, examiners may don´t care about wheter is true or false at all but ur skills, that´s it ; (remember what Einstain said: imagination is more important than knowledge!) what other tips u know to get good results at reading band?, Btw: i usually get so nervous at exams, just like if i were beeing sat close to a sexy lady, ja ..!
My topic was actually which famous indian personality inspires u. I needed to state facts I believe. My tips for reading won't be of much help since I'm an avid reader and as a kid I read books which were beyond my vocabulary of that age. I usually read classic novels. The most I could suggest is to improve your vocabulary n learn new words because you will come across many unfamiliar words in the examination. As you move from one passage to the other it gets tougher. I first read the questions and then read the passage so I knew which sentences to look out for. And I took special care when I found the answer. Cross checking helped me immensely. And the last thing would be not to stress your mind too much. Else u might screw up. If u feel Ur getting stressed do some deep breathing. :)
ja, if i were asked that question i´ll say: Aishwarya Rai...prettiest indian girl i have seen up to now (although i haven`t been there) lol... What is cross checking exactly ? Thanks a lot 4 ur help dear !
Well, I have learnt here one important lesson look at 6:26 , she rephrases his question words ( I guess if I had a time to my self for an hour...) to think the answer for a while. this is good strategy when asked a question which u really little confuse, u just need to rephrase it, it is better than saying ''hmmmmm'' or just keep'' quiet'' for seconds, which could really eats your grade .
Thank you for the amazing guidance, sir...I went through these videos prior to my speaking tests and it really created wonderful results for me...I got 7.5 in speaking and an overall band of 8...Thanks a lot.
Congratulations on the great result! I'm glad to have been an aid in your success. On the website, you may have noticed the "testimonials" block near the bottom.

Because of your awesome score and feedback, we'd love to be able to use your first name/picture. If you could send us a picture of yourself (face, like the ones on the website), we would be greatly appreciative. Also, please include your nationality. If you are willing, please send this to admin@aehelp.com. This allows us to encourage other students to use our products and reach their goals and dreams. I look forward to getting your picture, nationality, and I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

What's the objective of this exam ? Is it to evaluate the candidate's ability to speak or lie? What if Jade wasn't interested in art at all ..Would a general answer be accepted by the evaluator? This question is based on a personal interest of an individual. How can anyone lie about something that they have no interest in...? A point to ponder on ..isn't it??
The objective of the exam is to evaluate the candidate’s level of choherence, complexity and natural language - it is not about the truth. This is why, ironically, you may have to lie to show your true ability of English. A great question. To get the best marks on IELTS join us, www.aehelp.com/full-course
I went to Victoria BC in 2013 and I had the best experience of my life. my picture here I was There. I'm from Brazil and congratulations for this vídeo!!! thanks a Lot.
I scored on Speaking Test 8.1. It helps me a lot watching your channel for my preparations during my exam. First, I watch it twice or 3 times each scenario and writing your questions. I used it during our practice together with my husband.
Examiner: even tho u r native ur speaking isn't good enough Examiner himself: I would um like to uuhm show you uhhm how to ummm get the band mm 9 iT'S nATuRaL
You don't need to be better than someone to score them based on a (mostly) objective set of rules. Also, this is literally an exam that lasts for a few minutes where you are supposed to give your very best shot at speaking as coherently and as clearly as you can. Almost no one will speak like that in most situations, simply because those situations don't require it.
I thought her answers were quite short though? Or is that the normal length for part one? I assumed that you should speak for about 1-2 minutes in part one... or am i mistaken?
You are mistaken. I think you are referring to Part 2 (the long answer) - In part one you want to answer the 'what' and 'why' to each of the examiner's questions. Learn more here, www.aehelp.com/full-course/
I personally think that (at least in my humble and objective opinion) she doesn't deserve band 9 in the speaking section because of non-using complex language and advanced vocabulary such as unfamiliar linkings, some unused or rarely-known words, phrases. But anyway, she talks very well and her voice sounds very clear and understandable by a native examiner. Thanks for sharing this video. Best regards.
I'm glad the videos are helping your confidence. You really must control your stress during the exam as this has a negative effect on performance. Keep up the good studies. www.aehelp.com
I like this video as I often use it to teach my students preparing for IELTS here in Hong Kong. Though Jade Lake would not have scored so high if it were a Geography test. Looking at a map of Canada, the Westernmost Province is Yukon, not British Columbia!
I don't really get the IELTS Test. Why is it so important to use complex words? I mean, is there a difference between the General Training and the Acedemic speaking test? If no, why do you need complex words for the everyday life? Isn't it just important, that you can understand each other? If you live in a english speaking country after the test, you will automatically improve your english.
In this case you need to make it up - think about a movie or a famous art piece and pretend that you are a fan and have experience. DO NOT say that you do not have interest in the topic and do not know anything about it - you will lose a lot of marks. Good studies, www.aehelp.com
Wow cool! In my country even 7 of IELTS score is enough to enter to any university! However I'm preparing for something more. I won't need it for entering University, but I would love to read books in english and speak well while traveling if God wills
Thank you for this lesson video it means a lot to me. This time i'm still learning on speaking english and improve my pronounciation. It really hard for me. This lesson video can help me to prepare myself for IELTS
"I think, at the end of the day, apparently, in a nutshell, long story short,.." have already become hackneyed and overly used fillers. Do they add up the seasoning for deterring the better band score?
+Speakada Lingo i think hes asking why someone from a english speaking country give ielts to go to anothet English speaking country... e.g why does someone going to Canada from usa have to give ielts
Good question. She may get a 9. However scores of 9 are very rare because an examine must not only have great mastery of English, but also great mastery of each topic. In this case, master of some question topics is arguable, therefore this can cost that .5 grade.
You are half right. The recording is sent to two independent and trained graders, but likely not the UK, unless of course that is where you are taking the test.
This is a very common situation. First, remember that the person who is doing the interview does not mark you, so don't be scared. They are just there to ask you the questions. The people marking will listen to the recording, so be loud and confident otherwise they can't hear you! Think of the examiner as a grandpa or grandma who you have to speak to clearly, loudly and respectfully. Great question. I hope this helps. Lots more strategies at: www.aehelp.com
Hi Antares, I am not sure what you are trying to state? Can you paraphrase your idea and give more details, so I can respond more effectively. I look forward to it. Good studies.
AcademicEnglishHelp "Live and learn". The sageness of this proverb has never been so appealing to me, as it is now when i have to pass IELTS exam. Well, I`d like to get grade 7, but there are several things i`m lacking, to get that result. Generally speaking, my speaking abilities aren`t "native" enough, much less to say about my pronunciation, and my writing skills are rough to the degree that i`d hardly ever be capable of writing a well organized and grammatically precise essay, to convince the examiner that i deserve a mark higher than 6. Nevertheless i have convinced myself that i`m capable of improving my English and getting as higher a result as it is possible for any human being. To conclude, i`ve been watching the tutorials on this channel for quite a time, and i`d say, it has definitely helped me a lot. Now i know my weak sides which i need to improve and thanks to the channel i know which direction to tread.
Why do all of the English learners always say if asked them what do you like to do or what do you think about art or music etc. all of them start to say; I love art and especially modern arts, galleries etc. I had seen a famous musician who played on the street as a street guitarist on youtube but everyone didn't look at him. I know lots of them who are love music especially classical music when you ask them. Well, why do people prefer to say like this? Because, I think we learn the English like this way. So when the English learners start speaking English we have become art, music and social life lovers. Finally, I watched lots of exam videos nearly all of them make imitation. These are in my opinion. I'm so sorry if I say unpolite speech. note: I am sorry for my bad English. I'm only B1
This is true for the writing section, not the speaking section. You do need to make sure that the slang you use is commonly understood and not overly restricted to a smaller circle of people.
Native speakers sometimes need to take the IELTS exam as well, as it is a proficiency exam, most native speakers would score a band 8, so preparing with the right materials is key, you can do that here: www.aehelp.com/full-course/
All of the major English proficiency exams seem to have their own idiosyncrasies when it comes to how they judge performance on the speaking test. IELTS grading can be somewhat confusing and contradictory I think, for example when they promote things like using slang and informal speech which could receive negative points in any other test. The issue I believe is that these tests are designed to weed out certain targeted errors and stratify the applicants instead of just looking at things more holistically and assigning pass grades based on basic English competency in a simulated English-speaking environment.
for instance, if i start describing the appearance of the instructor in the part where it says describe a memorable piece of art would he start laughing or would it be the end of my academic career plans?
Hello Mss, I'm looking for someone to improve my speaking skills, I'm gonna present my Ielts task in 4 days. If you want to add me, this is my Skype ID: lyann.striker Regards !
I think the IELTS system should change the part 3 of speaking as the general conversation so that the tester would know the real level of english speaking of candidates.
We also have videos with non-native speakers, just check out our channel a bit more, go to the speaking section video list. These videos can also be found on our website at: www.aehelp.com
rfx3000 he said that when they exam you they're looking at how similari u are to a native speaker so this video i guess shows you realisticly how good you have to be to score 8.5
Not true! In fact many native speakers are not able to score 9. This is because the mark isn't simply based on pronunciation, but much more on accuracy of language and information. These two elements do not depend much on being a native speaker, but rather on being an efficient communicator. This is why it is critical to develop strong communication skills to get high scores on IELTS speaking. Study hard, and you will get there. Good luck from the team at www.aehelp.com
I’m not a native speaker but I understood every word about the conversation even though I feel so stressed about my English certification test, it’s gonna be on 2 months and I think it’ll be too hard so I’m afraid to fail😪😪
hello, I have just watched your videos about the speaking test especially strategies she answered according to the question is brilliant. On the other hand, I have an IELTS speaking test on 17th of August, I don't panic but could you teach me some effective method that I can answer the question in a reasonable way. I have left only two days, hope you will understand me.
+Pabindu lakshitha Hi Pabindu, no you cannot. If you get a question like this, just for three minutes, pretend that you love art and are very interested in it. Make up a story.
AcademicEnglishHelp I apologize but that is the most ludicrous thing i ever heard. So you are given 1 minute to think of a topic you do not like or know and you have to lie and make yourself believe that you actually like it to talk about it for 1-2 minutes? Wow
It's not BS guys. It's great practice in real life. There are plenty of situations where you'll have to lie or pretend you like something that you in fact have no interest in. For example, at a dinner with the boss when he's talking about his yacht. If you roll your eyes and say you don't like boats or the ocean, you won't have a job for long. (And yes, many executives are exactly that vapid in real life, they don't care how "skilled" you are). People like people who share similar interests. That's why being able to pretend to share those interests can help your career. It's a useful skill to be able to fake enthusiasm and talk effectively about a topic you do not like or know about. With enough practice, you'll be able to "wing it" on just about any topic and give people the impression of being a Renaissance Man. And that will do wonders for your future job prospects (as long as you aren't totally incompetent at work).
Cool .. I have to take the test in 3 weeks .. my skype id is : alireza-bitarafan and this is my email if you can't find me : alirezabitarafan73@yahoo.com we can help each other :))
fucking hell! what if I have nerver seen piece of art? or even if I have, not really memorable and can't remember the footage and what I saw?? I still have to make up bullshit in 1 min? haha! And what if someone is locked in for studying and haven't had a chance to see a fucking piece of art?
Although the colloquial language you are using in these comments is good tongue and cheek, just make sure you can use a more sophisticated intelligent form of communication when you take the test. Remember, not only are you what you eat, but you are what you speak.
these are very ideal interviewes. I hope IELTS will change to reflect real circumstances. Too ideal questions force candidates to lie. Faking with confidence is the way to go for high scores in present format.
Unfortunately, it's not possible for the test to reflect the real world in more detail because the interviews would have to be custom created for each person and at least half an hour. Just imagine how much it would cost to do that !?
@@bassemkaabeche3151 Thanks bud!!!Its quite easy to score 8 in speaking.....I went ahead with BRITISH COUNCIL.... It took me like 2 weeks for the preparation.... If you'd ask me some tips,I'd say that its all about high level vocab n phrases.....and yes fluency is a must have.... i used some word like.... voluptuous paradoxical flauccinauccinihiliphilipicate benign benevolent picturesque etc...
I have studied English throughout my Schooling and University, however getting a good score in IELTS is all about understanding the exam technique which can be done only through the practice and comprehension. If you are a native English speaker or already good at English, is definitely going to be helpful but do not be overconfident that it will get you a higher band unless you practice ;-)
Is the full video still online on their website ? Or does anyone know if I can find it elsewhere in case it's has been removed?! The video looks so great, I'd love to keep it watching until the end :)
Just so people know, this would definitely be a nine rather than an 8.5, She is a native speaker. Candadians speak english, even the french regions all speak english. I can only assume that the people who made the video gave it a slightly lower score to scare people into thinking they are not good enough to convince them to subscribe.
hello, this video is really good to understand and help me learn about english, yeah my first language is indonesia, and so hard to me to learn another languages thank u
I have been "diving" into several websites in order to practice intensively, as I need to get a 7 band in each part of the exam which is assessed, and, trust me, I have practiced A LOT. I even made some penpals, and, everyday, as soon as I get home I turn on my TV in English spoken channels, and my PC to chat with native speakers. Notwithstanding all I just mentioned, I still cannot reach the score I need. I think that the main problem is that no website offers any feedback to students who need it, like me. I am tired of watching sample videos and tips, I think I know ALL of them by now... but I need someone to coach me, specifically. It would be great if any of all the websites which claim they help us starts doing this... (you could even be the first to do so... just wondering...) Cheers!

AcademicEnglishHelp Can somebody please tell why she didn;t get 9?
Hi Clemwell,
Quality of answers, mainly. Her responses are excellent, but perhaps some more complex phrasings could have given her a 9.0.
These are not points to worry about, however, unless you are aiming for 9.0.
Instead, focus on the strategies and skills you need to master to get your goal score (for most students, this is 6.5-7.5).
Thank you very much for responding. I never anticipated such fast yet informative response.
Yes, I aim for a 9 because I plan to be an IELTS instructor here in the Philippines. Having watched the video twice, I agree that her sentences were quite basic, however smooth and flawless they were. So I'll definitely take note of the complexity of syntax.
Thanks again!!! =)

It's required for immigration to some countries
Please ielts exam i thought is only meant for non English speaking countries? Why someone from Canada
@@stellanwamakaifem471 You can immigrate from one English speaking country to a different English speaking country

I just thought, if i were in her place i wouldn't be able to say a word about Art piece . Cause i've never seen one in my life. and i don't have any interest in it.
I know there's no solution for my problem. so i have a question, if i make up name of artist and and describe an art that doesn't exist , would it be okay?
Yes, absolutely it is okay to make up an answer. *However, this is usually more difficult than to think of a real example. I strongly recommend searching your memory bank first for information before trying to improvise a story. Great question, and the best of luck.
I think that if you are able to make up an answer it means that your English is really good. Even in our native language is too hard to lie sometimes and make up a story is even harder
Practice Jean, practice, practice, practice. In a sense, many of the questions on the IELTS tests not only your English ability but also your aptitude for creativity! I'm sure if you give it some practice at home, you will get the hang of it. Good studies from the team at www.aehelp.com
Hey Saviour, I already took the test. and let me tell you, they won't ask you anything you can't answer.
good luck!
You are right Worst Man, usually the topics are about general ideas that most people should be able to associate with. Good luck on your exams!
Dear AE Help Team,
I just want to thank you so much for helping so many people who want to improve each day. I did the IELTS test three weeks ago. Today I received my score: Listenning 7.0, Reading 6.5, Writing 6.0 and Speaking 6.5 getting an overall band score of 6.5. I feel very happy about my score, but once again, thank you very much for all your videos because their were the only method I used to prepare myself to the exam...
Thanks!

One of our IELTS student asked us today why a native speaker in one of our IELTS Speaking section training videos did not receive a 9.0 score (she received an 8.5 instead). Here was our response:
The main reason this student did not score 9.0 was the quality of her answers. Her responses are excellent, but perhaps some more complex phrasings could have given her a 9.0.
A big point to note here, however, is that these reasons do not matter! These are not points to worry about unless you are aiming for 9.0. If you are at a 5.5 level and attempt to implement the complex phrasings that would have given this student a 9.0, you will not be successful! Why? Because you need to build up to this skill level. Prematurely attempting to do "too much" in the speaking section will result in a lower score.
Instead, focus on the strategies and skills you need to master to get your goal score (for most students, this is 6.5-7.5).

Thanks Paalrahul, good studies and good luck on your exams.
+AcademicEnglishHelp I had 9 for Speaking a couple of years ago, but I now need to re-take the test. Obviously, it would be a shame to get anything lower than 9. The fact that a native speaker managed to somehow get a 8.5 is hugely discouraging, though I can quite see that her answers were a little simplistic.
There is no shame in scoring 8.5 - it is an outstanding score!

Hi Lilo,
Congrats on the awesome scores!!! We are so happy our videos helped you achieve success!
My English Teacher back in high school taught us that "all right" were used formally, while "alright" was used informally.

Hi all! Just wanted to share my experience with you because I feel like a lot of us are really nervous when it comes to taking the speaking test. It is quite nerve wrecking but you can do it! I got a 9 in speaking and 8.5 overall. Test was taken in Canada. I've spent quite some time here so I speak like a native speaker, but like what the comment says not all native speakers can get a 9 as you have to show a certain level of expertise on your topic. You need to be articulate and show no difficulty in conversing on something scientific/factual. What really separates an 8.5 from a 9 is precision and clarity of thought. If you just talk in every day speech it won't get you anywhere; you gotta be precise and make sure what you say really hits the nail on the head. Think before you speak! Good luck!
Hi Lee,
Thanks for posting this - great advice!
Hi Lee, cool u must be great in English study. Can you share more expeirience how to get 8.5 or above? I will have one in Januray 17 and only have around two weeks to practice, can u give some strategies or recommedations? For example, do I need to revise a lot or what parts I need to focus on during these days? Thanks¬! - Lesley
luvfaye lee I think you should focus on being articulate, as in you need to be coherent and precise and try not to say a bunch of words when only one of them accurately conveys the meaning for you. I had exams when I took the test but I thought I at least needed to familiarize myself with the format---which I did, but I also made sure whatever I said I wouldn't have said it any other way, as in it mirrored my thoughts perfectly as if I was thinking out loud. Precision is key!
hi listen lee , can you please help improving my speaking skills , can you give your skype so we can have some conversations from time to another .
I'm really sorry but I'm a uni student and I don't have time to do that given school and everything. You can start by watching more TV shows and understanding without any subtitles. I hope this helps.
IELTS examiners don't say "Excellent" after candidates reply to questions, fyi.
+William Morley I was also kind of taken aback by this :)
William ARE you native English speaker? So would you help me in learning English on Skype with conversations or whatsap
@@letswatch1480 I would but what's your native language?
@@letswatch1480 use VR chat buddy. i was an avid gamer in my pre-teens. now i'm 18 and have an almost American accent. i mean people can't even make it out that i'm indian.
Edit: I've also lived in a boarding school since I was 11. And the school consisted of kids from various parts of the world so we collectively chose to speak in English. Also I was privileged enough to get into the best Business school in the country last year.... So yeah props to that...

Thank you sir for your lessons ...i got 7 bands in speaking by God's grace 😊
So it's extremely easy to get 8.5 because it was a normal conversation.
Thanks for the video
Hello, I just received my IELTS Indicative test results and my scores were as such. L=8.5, R=9, W=7.5, S=7. Overall = 8. I am a bit disappointed with my Speaking score are I have been speaking in english all my life. :( However, thank you very much for the videos. I only used to watch your videos to prepare and I hardly prepared for a week. I also referred the booklet I received from IELTS for preparation. Thank you again for helping me get a general idea of what the format of the test is and how to answer each section. The tips were great too! Thank you again! I am very happy with my overall score!
Hi !
Congratulations on ur really high scores!, I wish i could get that too.
How could u get such L & R high scores?
How was S ?, was it that difficult for u?
Bye! :)
I've been an English speaker all my life so I'm actually a bit disappointed with my speaking scores. It wasn't difficult but the topic I was given was something I didn't have much knowledge about. So I wasn't prepared and did end up saying something silly. Maybe that's why the low score. But I expected more. Reading is actually tough. That's what I said after my test. The passages are quite difficult so I spent a lot of time cross checking my answers so it helped. For listening, being alert is the key. Normally I read a lot of novels so that helped, maybe u should do that too. And for listening, listen to news particularly British speakers coz if u aren't familiar with the accent it might be extremely difficult. Good luck.
Maybe u just can invent stories about thinks being asked (no matter u don´t know the topic) for next time!, examiners may don´t care about wheter is true or false at all but ur skills, that´s it ; (remember what Einstain said: imagination is more important than knowledge!)
what other tips u know to get good results at reading band?, Btw: i usually get so nervous at exams, just like if i were beeing sat close to a sexy lady, ja ..!
My topic was actually which famous indian personality inspires u. I needed to state facts I believe. My tips for reading won't be of much help since I'm an avid reader and as a kid I read books which were beyond my vocabulary of that age. I usually read classic novels. The most I could suggest is to improve your vocabulary n learn new words because you will come across many unfamiliar words in the examination. As you move from one passage to the other it gets tougher. I first read the questions and then read the passage so I knew which sentences to look out for. And I took special care when I found the answer. Cross checking helped me immensely. And the last thing would be not to stress your mind too much. Else u might screw up. If u feel Ur getting stressed do some deep breathing. :)
ja, if i were asked that question i´ll say: Aishwarya Rai...prettiest indian girl i have seen up to now (although i haven`t been there) lol...
What is cross checking exactly ?
Thanks a lot 4 ur help dear !
Well, I have learnt here one important lesson look at 6:26 , she rephrases his question words ( I guess if I had a time to my self for an hour...) to think the answer for a while. this is good strategy when asked a question which u really little confuse, u just need to rephrase it, it is better than saying ''hmmmmm'' or just keep'' quiet'' for seconds, which could really eats your grade .
+Mohamed Ali Hi Mohammed,
This is true - although saying "hmmm" is definitely better than staying awkwardly silent!
thank youu
Thank you for the amazing guidance, sir...I went through these videos prior to my speaking tests and it really created wonderful results for me...I got 7.5 in speaking and an overall band of 8...Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your guidance. I did the Academic exam on 24th June 2017 and got,Listening 9Reading 8.5Writing 7.5Speaking 7.5Overall 8 Your videos helped me a lot
What's the objective of this exam ? Is it to evaluate the candidate's ability to speak or lie? What if Jade wasn't interested in art at all ..Would a general answer be accepted by the evaluator? This question is based on a personal interest of an individual. How can anyone lie about something that they have no interest in...? A point to ponder on ..isn't it??
The objective of the exam is to evaluate the candidate’s level of choherence, complexity and natural language - it is not about the truth. This is why, ironically, you may have to lie to show your true ability of English. A great question. To get the best marks on IELTS join us, www.aehelp.com/full-course

I scored on Speaking Test 8.1. It helps me a lot watching your channel for my preparations during my exam. First, I watch it twice or 3 times each scenario and writing your questions. I used it during our practice together with my husband.
+Emillia Hilal My Skype name is refat.english
The Examiner didn't give any reaction when that lady smiled to him.
He was supposed to not giving any reaction to her , right?
Examiner: even tho u r native ur speaking isn't good enough
Examiner himself: I would um like to uuhm show you uhhm how to ummm get the band mm 9
iT'S nATuRaL
true🤣🤣
It's hard to percieve, but it's true...how can native speaker get 8.5? She was perfect.
Ha ha
This comment is uhm brilliant
You don't need to be better than someone to score them based on a (mostly) objective set of rules. Also, this is literally an exam that lasts for a few minutes where you are supposed to give your very best shot at speaking as coherently and as clearly as you can. Almost no one will speak like that in most situations, simply because those situations don't require it.
I thought her answers were quite short though? Or is that the normal length for part one? I assumed that you should speak for about 1-2 minutes in part one... or am i mistaken?
You are mistaken. I think you are referring to Part 2 (the long answer) - In part one you want to answer the 'what' and 'why' to each of the examiner's questions. Learn more here, www.aehelp.com/full-course/
I personally think that (at least in my humble and objective opinion) she doesn't deserve band 9 in the speaking section because of non-using complex language and advanced vocabulary such as unfamiliar linkings, some unused or rarely-known words, phrases. But anyway, she talks very well and her voice sounds very clear and understandable by a native examiner. Thanks for sharing this video. Best regards.
thank you so much sir, I'm planning to attend an IELTS exam next month and kind of nervous now about the speaking test. your videos are so helpful.
I'm glad the videos are helping your confidence. You really must control your stress during the exam as this has a negative effect on performance. Keep up the good studies. www.aehelp.com

thank u so much sir.
Thank you for this lesson, I got an 8.0 on my IELTS ☺️☺️
Elmahdi B.Lahkim wow i’m so glad of you
Good luck 😉
This vid is truly helpful to IELTS takers. Thank you.
Could you tell us at the end about mistakes that speaker makes during the conversation please.
There is no mistake grading system is bullshit
I like this video as I often use it to teach my students preparing for IELTS here in Hong Kong. Though Jade Lake would not have scored so high if it were a Geography test. Looking at a map of Canada, the Westernmost Province is Yukon, not British Columbia!
This is a definite 9. A lot of candidate not in engligh-speaking countries could get 9, let alone the native speakers
I don't really get the IELTS Test. Why is it so important to use complex words? I mean, is there a difference between the General Training and the Acedemic speaking test? If no, why do you need complex words for the everyday life? Isn't it just important, that you can understand each other? If you live in a english speaking country after the test, you will automatically improve your english.
+Breadknight indeed , why they make it so hard -_- !
Breadknight for earning money
Because they don't want shitty people in their country who don't have fluency in english. And this exam throws many scumbags out from the race lol
what if I have not come across any memorable art or perhaps I'm not a big fan of art, then?
In this case you need to make it up - think about a movie or a famous art piece and pretend that you are a fan and have experience. DO NOT say that you do not have interest in the topic and do not know anything about it - you will lose a lot of marks. Good studies, www.aehelp.com
Thanks a lot
yes, you have no choice but to make up one..yey!!!
yumna arif make up something that English native speakers normally don't know...
yumna arif me too
Wow cool!
In my country even 7 of IELTS score is enough to enter to any university! However I'm preparing for something more.
I won't need it for entering University, but I would love to read books in english and speak well while traveling if God wills
Круто
+DB(кино, сериалы, аниме и тд.) Что именно круто? )
Why a native speaker would need IELTS? I'm not a native speaker and I got 8.5 in speaking. I needed it for my Concordia University application.
Native speakers take it for teaching, immigration and grade 12 equivalency.
Thank you for this lesson video it means a lot to me. This time i'm still learning on speaking english and improve my pronounciation. It really hard for me. This lesson video can help me to prepare myself for IELTS
Great video :) It's really clear!
"I think, at the end of the day, apparently, in a nutshell, long story short,.." have already become hackneyed and overly used fillers. Do they add up the seasoning for deterring the better band score?
Man if they ask me to describe a piece of art when i do my speaking test im screwed XP
Sounds good! I Will have my speaking exam the next thursday ! Fighting!🤗 We can do it!
Good luck on your exam Timotea! Make sure to check us out at www.aehelp.com
Thank you sir too much with the aid of your videos i got 6.5 band today i am very happy thank you sir
You are most welcome Sandeep. I wish you the best in your next steps
Why native speakers take IELTS test ??
mostly its for migration purpose
do you mean 'why don't native speakers take IELTS test?'
+Speakada Lingo i think hes asking why someone from a english speaking country give ielts to go to anothet English speaking country... e.g why does someone going to Canada from usa have to give ielts
It's a requirement I think from immigration. Even I have to prove my language competence in English if I go to Canada.
Hafiz Umar u are right
Hello Sir
Could you please shortly explain why this candidate lost 0.5 point
Perhaps her pronunciation on certain words. Occasionally she said words in a very lazy manner, "wanna" instead of "want to" for example.
Annaesthesia1 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can somebody tell me: why she got only 8.5?
Good question. She may get a 9. However scores of 9 are very rare because an examine must not only have great mastery of English, but also great mastery of each topic. In this case, master of some question topics is arguable, therefore this can cost that .5 grade.
AcademicEnglishHelp Oh, thank you for the answer!
AcademicEnglishHelp I got 9 on Speaking, but it's probably because the examiner spoke with an accent that was much heavier than mine.
Humanophage The examiner does not evaluate you. The recorded audio file is sent to Britain if I am not mistaken.
You are half right. The recording is sent to two independent and trained graders, but likely not the UK, unless of course that is where you are taking the test.
Definitely a band 8.5, examiners hate to give 9 as they have to justify why and for me this native speaker is worth a 9.
Perhaps : ) In a different video, she gets a 9.
Incredibly useful vocabulary that I`ve pointed out for myself. Thanks a lot for your great job that helps us learners to grow up !
I am very good at vocabulary and granmer and I speak fluently but when I am exam I am shy and I confuse
This is a very common situation. First, remember that the person who is doing the interview does not mark you, so don't be scared. They are just there to ask you the questions. The people marking will listen to the recording, so be loud and confident otherwise they can't hear you! Think of the examiner as a grandpa or grandma who you have to speak to clearly, loudly and respectfully. Great question. I hope this helps. Lots more strategies at: www.aehelp.com
Same here :(
Seriously? Me to possessing good English grammar and speaking too good to be true, but being very retarded to pass any exam.
Hi Antares, I am not sure what you are trying to state? Can you paraphrase your idea and give more details, so I can respond more effectively. I look forward to it. Good studies.
AcademicEnglishHelp
"Live and learn". The sageness of this proverb has never been so appealing to me, as it is now when i have to pass IELTS exam.
Well, I`d like to get grade 7, but there are several things i`m lacking, to get that result. Generally speaking, my speaking abilities aren`t "native" enough, much less to say about my pronunciation, and my writing skills are rough to the degree that i`d hardly ever be capable of writing a well organized and grammatically precise essay, to convince the examiner that i deserve a mark higher than 6. Nevertheless i have convinced myself that i`m capable of improving my English and getting as higher a result as it is possible for any human being.
To conclude, i`ve been watching the tutorials on this channel for quite a time, and i`d say, it has definitely helped me a lot.
Now i know my weak sides which i need to improve and thanks to the channel i know which direction to tread.
Why do all of the English learners always say if asked them what do you like to do or what do you think about art or music etc. all of them start to say; I love art and especially modern arts, galleries etc. I had seen a famous musician who played on the street as a street guitarist on youtube but everyone didn't look at him. I know lots of them who are love music especially classical music when you ask them.
Well, why do people prefer to say like this? Because, I think we learn the English like this way. So when the English learners start speaking English we have become art, music and social life lovers. Finally, I watched lots of exam videos nearly all of them make imitation. These are in my opinion. I'm so sorry if I say unpolite speech. note: I am sorry for my bad English. I'm only B1
My teacher said me that don't use slang word because it will be informal...
This is true for the writing section, not the speaking section. You do need to make sure that the slang you use is commonly understood and not overly restricted to a smaller circle of people.
said to, you're welcome
Very comforting to see that even native speaking teachers are making mistakes themselves ;-)
Native speakers sometimes need to take the IELTS exam as well, as it is a proficiency exam, most native speakers would score a band 8, so preparing with the right materials is key, you can do that here: www.aehelp.com/full-course/
@@Aehelp well thanks, I will take it into consideration
All of the major English proficiency exams seem to have their own idiosyncrasies when it comes to how they judge performance on the speaking test. IELTS grading can be somewhat confusing and contradictory I think, for example when they promote things like using slang and informal speech which could receive negative points in any other test. The issue I believe is that these tests are designed to weed out certain targeted errors and stratify the applicants instead of just looking at things more holistically and assigning pass grades based on basic English competency in a simulated English-speaking environment.
Is the part 2 all must about art piece?
is it possible that native English speaker can't pass ielts exam?
+Aram Davtyan yes of course
+Common Sence thank you very much
possible but highly unlikely.
pls explain i dont get it lmao
question: does making jokes during the speaking section make my score lower?
for instance, if i start describing the appearance of the instructor in the part where it says describe a memorable piece of art would he start laughing or would it be the end of my academic career plans?
+gamzeerkarslan yup dear u will score less if u try to crack a joke p.s don't get too much friendly with them speaking with experience.
Sanil Bist that sucks i hope i can contain myself during the speaking part. thank you for the advice though, i appreciate it
Hello Mss, I'm looking for someone to improve my speaking skills, I'm gonna present my Ielts task in 4 days. If you want to add me, this is my Skype ID:

If you make a joke probably they are gonna laugh but it's just because they wouldn't wanna demoralize you and they'd cut points.
Great job there! Oh and a great day to everyone reading this! :)
I think the IELTS system should change the part 3 of speaking as the general conversation so that the tester would know the real level of english speaking of candidates.
Wouldn't it be more help if the speaker were a NON-NATIVE speaker?
We also have videos with non-native speakers, just check out our channel a bit more, go to the speaking section video list. These videos can also be found on our website at: www.aehelp.com
AcademicEnglishHelp
To what purpose a Native english speaker would do IELTS? I thought this exam was only for non native speakers
rfx3000 he said that when they exam you they're looking at how similari u are to a native speaker so this video i guess shows you realisticly how good you have to be to score 8.5
TheFreaking4
A native speaker Must score 10!
Not true! In fact many native speakers are not able to score 9. This is because the mark isn't simply based on pronunciation, but much more on accuracy of language and information. These two elements do not depend much on being a native speaker, but rather on being an efficient communicator. This is why it is critical to develop strong communication skills to get high scores on IELTS speaking. Study hard, and you will get there. Good luck from the team at www.aehelp.com

I’m not a native speaker but I understood every word about the conversation even though I feel so stressed about my English certification test, it’s gonna be on 2 months and I think it’ll be too hard so I’m afraid to fail😪😪
So I am.
hello, I have just watched your videos about the speaking test especially strategies she answered according to the question is brilliant. On the other hand, I have an IELTS speaking test on 17th of August, I don't panic but could you teach me some effective method that I can answer the question in a reasonable way. I have left only two days, hope you will understand me.
Regarding the question in that card,
Actually I have no interest on art. So, Can I ask for another topic then?
+Pabindu lakshitha Hi Pabindu, no you cannot. If you get a question like this, just for three minutes, pretend that you love art and are very interested in it. Make up a story.
+AcademicEnglishHelp That's why I hate IELTS. It's BS. No offense to you and your work, though :)
+WozWozWozniacki I am of the same opinion. We have to make things up >_
AcademicEnglishHelp I apologize but that is the most ludicrous thing i ever heard. So you are given 1 minute to think of a topic you do not like or know and you have to lie and make yourself believe that you actually like it to talk about it for 1-2 minutes? Wow
It's not BS guys. It's great practice in real life. There are plenty of situations where you'll have to lie or pretend you like something that you in fact have no interest in. For example, at a dinner with the boss when he's talking about his yacht. If you roll your eyes and say you don't like boats or the ocean, you won't have a job for long. (And yes, many executives are exactly that vapid in real life, they don't care how "skilled" you are).
People like people who share similar interests. That's why being able to pretend to share those interests can help your career. It's a useful skill to be able to fake enthusiasm and talk effectively about a topic you do not like or know about.
With enough practice, you'll be able to "wing it" on just about any topic and give people the impression of being a Renaissance Man. And that will do wonders for your future job prospects (as long as you aren't totally incompetent at work).

Although the colloquial language you are using in these comments is good tongue and cheek, just make sure you can use a more sophisticated intelligent form of communication when you take the test. Remember, not only are you what you eat, but you are what you speak.
these are very ideal interviewes. I hope IELTS will change to reflect real circumstances. Too ideal questions force candidates to lie. Faking with confidence is the way to go for high scores in present format.
Unfortunately, it's not possible for the test to reflect the real world in more detail because the interviews would have to be custom created for each person and at least half an hour. Just imagine how much it would cost to do that !?
Its not answering qestions only.....its examining... ur behaviour in speaking and interactive with ur living / survivng environment. 😎😎
Yes, this is true.

*I got 8 in Speaking!!!!*
_Overall 7.5_
Confgrats mate ,how long it took you to prepare for the exam,and how did you practice for the speaking test ?
@@bassemkaabeche3151 Thanks bud!!!Its quite easy to score 8 in speaking.....I went ahead with BRITISH COUNCIL....
It took me like 2 weeks for the preparation....
If you'd ask me some tips,I'd say that its all about high level vocab n phrases.....and yes fluency is a must have....
i used some word like....
voluptuous
paradoxical
flauccinauccinihiliphilipicate
benign
benevolent
picturesque etc...
@@bassemkaabeche3151 used C1+ vocabulary....,fillers n idioms as well as phrases
I have studied English throughout my Schooling and University, however getting a good score in IELTS is all about understanding the exam technique which can be done only through the practice and comprehension. If you are a native English speaker or already good at English, is definitely going to be helpful but do not be overconfident that it will get you a higher band unless you practice ;-)
Is the full video still online on their website ? Or does anyone know if I can find it elsewhere in case it's has been removed?! The video looks so great, I'd love to keep it watching until the end :)
the first time i watch it i find it very useful
Great, make sure to check us out at www.aehelp.com as well.
I can't listen and speak English well, so I often hear videos of AcademicEnglishHelp, it's helpful for me so much ^^

her gün dinlemek gerekir uygulama güzel. everyday we should listening and application is so great ! Thansk broo loves from istanbul :)
Just so people know, this would definitely be a nine rather than an 8.5, She is a native speaker. Candadians speak english, even the french regions all speak english. I can only assume that the people who made the video gave it a slightly lower score to scare people into thinking they are not good enough to convince them to subscribe.
of course not. but this woman displayed full vocabulary range, without any hesitations and a full cohesive response. fo' sho she is getting full marks
The examiner seems to be more nervous than the candidate LOL!
Great Lesson!!Thanks
I’liked to study at one of the best university at Austrlia,, i just preapre for my English skills

+Giannis romanus Congratulations Giannis!!! All the best with your next steps.

I have been "diving" into several websites in order to practice intensively, as I need to get a 7 band in each part of the exam which is assessed, and, trust me, I have practiced A LOT. I even made some penpals, and, everyday, as soon as I get home I turn on my TV in English spoken channels, and my PC to chat with native speakers.
Notwithstanding all I just mentioned, I still cannot reach the score I need.
I think that the main problem is that no website offers any feedback to students who need it, like me. I am tired of watching sample videos and tips, I think I know ALL of them by now... but I need someone to coach me, specifically.
It would be great if any of all the websites which claim they help us starts doing this...
(you could even be the first to do so... just wondering...)
Cheers!
Her unstoppable nods spoil the natural communication tone. That's why I think, she left half point on the desk. :)
