IELTS examiners have a lot of topics and the above are only a sample posted by candidates. You MUST prepare a range of topics which include the above and also common topics. See below for the useful link.
Tips Relating to Above Topics
- These topics are not predictions. They are topics that students have posted after their test.
- This list is not complete. There is always a chance you might get a topic not listed below.
- I will continue to up-date this list when candidates report new topics.
- You should prepare ideas for all topics listed on this page.
- Also prepare: Common Part 2 Topics
- Do not memorise your talk. IELTS do not accept memorised answers. Instead you should prepare ideas and useful words. Then your talk will be natural during your test.
- You cannot change the topic, but you can adapt it. For example, if you get the topic of a poisonous plant, you can say “I don’t know about any poisonous plants, but one plant I often see in the local park is…”. It is fine to do this. You are still following the main topic which is plants.
- You cannot ask for the topics to be changed. You must talk about what you are given.
- You do not need to follow or use all prompts. But I recommend using them because they provide good structure for your talk.
