The topic of Shoes can appear in IELTS Speaking Part 1. While many of you know the topic of Clothes, not many people realise that the topic could be a specific part of clothing such as shoes, accessories (bags) or even jewellery.

Below you will find vocabulary exercises with pronunciation audios to learn words for this topic and a link to questions and model answers for this topic.

Hi liz
Could you please tell us predicted topics of general task 1 and task 2 ? Yes your work is appreciated
Thanks in advance
Sorry, my crystal ball broke.
Dear Ma’am ,
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the lessons I got from you.
I was very disappointed thinking about where to join for classes while I was busy with my family. After remembering God, when I scrolled through all the website, I found your website attracting me to it and then I went through all your video lessons. It gave me hope and courage to move ahead and to attend the IELTS exam held on 11th and 12th Jan. I got the following scores: L-8, R-8, S-7, W-7. long back I have attempted the exam but used to get less score in writing. your classes were really wonderful and helpful. Thank you very much. May God bless you. SOPHIA.
Sorry I didn’t see your comment before. Well done 🙂 You’ve got great results 🙂 I’m so glad my site helped you 🙂
Thank you very much
Thank you, it is very useful. I am going to take IELTS in February without taking any course, you are very helping. I love it so much.
hi Lestari,
can we have speaking practice for some time (15-20 minutes) daily on skype, as I’m also going to take the test in Feb, 2017.
How much band you have
Hi Liz madam,
I have a question.
In the speaking test
If i keep speaking about my cue card related topic but don’t get time for conclusion as i will not know about the time & if the examiner stops me what should i do?
There is no conclusion in speaking part 2. It is not formal talk or a lecture. It is just an informal talk with the examiner for 2 mins max. You don’t need to conclude or summarise.
Love you
Thank you Liz!!!
Lovely lesson . I learnt new vocabulary .
Thank you so much, Liz. You are Great !!
You are all very welcome 🙂
With all the respect for you.
Thank you so much my number one ielts teacher…

Hi Liz,
Thanks! This is good information.
Only one thing, I think I heard something like walking sandals as the last word in the first recording, instead of walking boots or hiking boots.;)
Very well spotted. I’ve recorded it again – hopefully correctly 🙂
Thank you so much. It is useful.
Dear Liz,
