Sample test for speaking
The speaking test consists of three parts. Part 1 takes 4 to 5 minutes. Part 2 takes 3 to 4 minutes and part 3 takes 4 to 5 minutes. We will now look in on a speaking test interview.
Interviewer: Good morning. May I have a look at your passport?
Asana: Yeah.
Int.: And your name is?
Asana: My first name is Asana which means wild field or something like that. The reason my parents called me that is because my father just liked the sound of it. My family name is Tamaki. It's not a very common name in Japan, but I think it's easy to pronounce for English people.
Int.: All right Asana. In this first part I am going to ask you some questions about yourself. Where do you come from?
Asana: I'm from Japan, Yokohama which is (a) very very big city, close to Tokyo. I think the population is more than three million. But actually I was born in China, Beijing which is (a) huge city too. And my family moved to Yokohama when I was three years old. And I've recently applied for the citizenship in Australia because I don't like the huge population and pollution in Yokohama.
Int.: So, tell me what you like about Yokohama.
Asana: Well, it's exciting. For example, there are many shops, restaurants, and markets and people everywhere.
Inter.: All right Asana. Now tell me: What are you doing at present?
Asana: Well, I am looking for work. Fortunately there are lots of vacancies for my profession. I am really looking forward to working so that I can be independent financially. My parents have spent a lot of money on me.
Int.: And what kind of work do you do?
Asana: In Japan I was working for the government as a nurse, but it was a very hard job. And I did that for three years. Then I went to New Zealand to study English. And I moved to Australia about a year ago to study for my PhD. And as I told you before I am looking for employment right now.
Int.: Ok Asana. Now we move on to Part 2 of the speaking test. Have a look at this. Read it carefully. You have about 1 minute to think about your answer. Then approximately 1 to 2 minutes to talk to me about what's on the slip. You can use a pen and paper to make some notes.
At this point you need to brain storm for ideas. This is an example of how you could
make your notes.
Int.: All right. Are you ready?
Asana: Yes. I like classical music, and also folk music. Classical music is very relaxing. And folk music is interesting because it tells us (about) people's culture or history. And..... but I don't really listen to music much because I am very busy. I have to work because I've got a part time job and I have to shop and cook. And I like to read in my spare time. I usually listen to music in my car because I've got a really good sound system in my car. When my mother was young, Japanese people were just beginning to listen to western music in Japan. But now western style music is actually very popular in Japan. And in fact a lot of the music that young people in Japan listen to today is in English.
Inter.: All right Asana. We move on to Part 3 of the test now. What influence do you think music has on life?
Asana: Well, the effects of music can be good. It helps us to relax. And also to enjoy ourselves when we get together. But on the other hand, it can incite feelings of nationalism and some modern music encourages drug use or violence.
Int.: What part does music play in your culture?
Asana: Well, in the past Japanese music was quite nationalistic. It was used to encourage love for Japan or something like that. But today people listen to all types of music as they do in countries like America or the UK. And in future I hope music in Japan will improve because I don't think it's very good right now.
Int.: Ok. How would you define music?
Asana: Could you please repeat that question again?
Int.: How would you define music?
Asana: Well, it's something (that) sounds beautiful and helps us to relax. And it's a part of all cultures. All ages listen to it. And it can be used for both good and bad.
Int.: Thank you Asana. Your speaking test is over now. You can enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Asana: Thank you. I hope you have a good weekend too.

How to prepare ourselves to take an exam?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
One or two weeks before exam date start to create a situation as if you are under exam condition!
How?!
I'll tell you!
For reading and listening skills prepare Sample sheets like those on the picture above and time yourself just like exam condition.
For writing time yourself again and write on specific papers.
(please note that you should write every other line with a legible handwriting and raise your hand when you run out paper!why?because like exam condition you undoubtedly will run out paper and ask supervisors to bring you extra paper. Don't worry they do that otherwise they will be punished by ielts.org!)
Last but not least, for speaking test choose a topic and start to tell about that by a loud voice.
Good luck…

4 Steps Test for your listening skill:
Ready to test your listening!
Here is a good tactic to improve your listening skill:
1.Choose a good and useful transcript and play your machine. Follow the lines when the narrator or speakers pronounce the words. Don't whisper or move your head. Just follow the words by a penile or your finger and move your eyes. Be careful of not missing any sentence.
2.Rewind the tape and start again. Pause your machine after each sentence or 3-4 words and read them out loudly. It help you to pronounce them correctly and also your mind reread them after a while!(believe me in this method)
3.Rewind the tape again. Leave your transcript somewhere and start to write the text as a whole. Pause your machine after every three or four words and write them down.
It helps you to correct your spelling mistakes and memorize the sentences.
4.Finally,check your writing which is done in section 3 for spelling mistakes, capital letters, punctuation marks or so...
Enjoy it step by step!
I'm sure it will work for you…try it and enjoy…

Some tips for buying the Listening books:
Here are some tips which help you to buy more informative & useful listening books for IELTS or practicing English:
- Please note that the book you want to buy has got Transcript. (some of books such as Tune in or so has not got any transcript.)It's important when you want to practice 4 Steps Test
- It's better that your book has got Answer key. Other wise if you're amateur or are not familiar with these types of book, maybe you would be misled.
- I wholeheartedly recommend you to buy Tactics For Listening which has got every day conversational dialogues in American English accent but because of publishing in Oxford University Press is very useful for IELTS candidates.
- Pay attention to book's CD and when you buy it check it for finding any damage or problem(maybe it has got some problems & it is not readable by your machine).Then if it is corrupted you must pay back to the vendor.
