Preparing Speaking Topics

IELTS do not release their list of questions for IELTS Speaking. This is to ensure that you don’t memorise answers and the test fairly checks your natural level of English. But you can prepare predicted and common topics. By preparing as many topics as possible, you will hopefully be better prepared. The list below is predicted list of topics for this period that are due to be recycled. Also prepare other common topics, click here: Speaking Section.

Do not memorise whole answers. Prepare ideas and useful vocabulary that you can use naturally in your test. Remember to be natural and chatty – not rehearsed or repeating from memory.

  5. Aboubakr says

    Hi Liz ,
    Today I had the speaking test and I answered all the questions but I am worried about part 2 because the question was about working in another COUNTRY for short time but I answered this as ” working in another CITY for short time”.
    My question is : will this affect negatively on the task achievement and the final speaking band?
    Thank you for your interest.

    • No it won’t impact your score. It was an honest mistake and the examiner will know this. Your part 2 talk will still be normally marked for the level of your English.

  6. Hello Liz,

    My speaking test was today in Algeria (academic ukvi),
    I don’t remember all the questions but here are some of them:

    Part 1:
    Hometown, do you like living in your current town? Is it a good place for families and children? …
    Clothes, what kind of clothes you like wearing? Do you wear the same clothes during weekend and week days? Do you prefer buying brand clothes? …
    Concentration, could you concentrate when you were a child or something similar? What do you do to help you concentrate? Is concentration important in your work? Does noise annoy you or like make concentration harder?…

    Part 2: a situation where you received a prize (medal or money). Describe it, what was the situation, where it happened, what did you feel.

    Part 3 about prizes
    Do children receive prizes when they do good in schools in your country (don’t remember if she specified from school or not)? What kind of prizes? Why is it good to give prizes to children?
    Do you think it’s better to give prizes to children who are good student or good at sports?
    Why do you think companies organize competitions for their customers?
    Why do you think people.like joining competitions? (I said something about competitive people and those who care more about enjoying the game, and she asked if I thought people who prefer enjoying the competition are less competitive I said yes) is the prize received important? Why do companies offer prizes? What do you think some people prefer not joining competitions?

    Those are the questions I remember
    I think I did good in the first part. But from part 2, it went quite down hill. I don’t think I’ve even spoken for 1:30. After I said that’s all, the examiner asked me two more questions which felt like she was trying to give me another chance to complete the part 2 recommended two minutes.
    Is it common?
    She asked me those two questions before taking back the cue card, paper and pencil, and before saying: now I’ll ask you more questions about prizes.
    Then in part 3, I got nervous and I repeated the words: to encourage and feeling rewarded too many times. In almost all questions.

    The examiner was really nice, she was smiling all the time and it felt almost like a regular discussion. At one point I said you know and she like continued my idea xD

    The thing I’m worried about is that I didn’t talk at length. She never stopped me talking. At one point in part 1, she gestured for me to continue talking. And in part three, she kept saying why why which is okay I guess.

    This website helped me greatly. I thank you so very much.
    Unfortunately,I didn’t have much time for preparation, and speaking is not my strength at all, never was even in my native language. Nevertheless, it was a little disappointing.

    I hope I’ll do better in the rest of the tests, which will be 3 days. And hopefully I’ll get at least 6 in speaking !

    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Wiss

    • Saumiya says

  8. Hi Liz
    Words aren’t enough to thank you. I got 7 in speaking. My cue card was a new skill, which I have learned recently. I spoke for more than 2 minutes until the examiner stopped me.
    I followed all the tips given by you
    Thanks a lot πŸ’œπŸ’œβ€οΈβ€οΈ

  9. Hi, I’m wondering are they changing their question based on our answers, for example, they choose hometown topic like what is the biggest problem in your hometown and I talk about transportation after that can they ask me another question about transportation in the first section?

    • They stick with three main topics for part 1. Hometown questions are set and are not dependant on your answers. It is only in part 3 that the flexibility to alter the direction of the questions and challenge answers appears.

  10. Jaydee says

    Hi Liz!
    Thank you for the useful lessons and tips.

  11. Hllo liz

    • Today 14-07-2020 my speaking

      Part 1
      Cakes and sweets
      Apartment

      Part 2
      Describe a goal which u set and achieved

      Part 3
      Questions related to goals
      Such as personal goals from childhood to middle age.

      Actually my examiner was so rude but i haven’t stopped in between. Is this will affect my score. Little grammer mistakes but used alots of vocab .

  12. Hi Liz,
    You said IELTS does not use religious topics, but is it ok to talk about the bible as my favorite book?

    • What I mean is that IELTS tests don’t including religious topics or questions. However, if you want to talk about it, it’s fine. However, preparing the bible as the book you want to talk about isn’t a flexible choice. It would be better to choose a book that has been converted into a film so that it covers both – films, TV, books – all in one preparation. Your aim is to get a high score, not to enjoy talking about your feelings or opinions. Be strategic whenever you can.

      • Hi Liz, I took the speaking test today and I think I messed up some questions in Part 3. I was not able to answer one question, the examiner repeated it then looked in the clock and stopped even before I answer. Do I get a bad score for that??? :(((

        • You won’t get marked down because you didn’t have ideas for a question. But it would negatively affect your score is your English started failing you. Having no ideas and having no language ability are two different things. Anyway, it’s one question – I wouldn’t worry too much if the rest of your test was strong.

  13. Meghana says

    Hello Liz,
    I hope you are doing good. Iam going to take my ielts on 20th august. So, can i depend on these topics for preparation?
    Thanks in advance.

    • No one can predict topics accurately. Use the list above, use previous lists and also common topics. Basically, the more topics you prepare, the better.

  14. Akhil says

    hiii lizz

    I attend my speaking test at august 3 and my LRW at aug 6.

    In part 1: About hometown and further studies?
    In part 2: About leisure time?
    In part 3:who can provide leisure time for employees.
    i forgot some questions in part 1&3

  15. Dhaen says

    Dear Liz, first I want to thank you for your wonderful website. It helped me alot, I purchased your grammar ebook as I am really going blank when it comes to writing.I was able to get a band 7 in writing and speaking. unfortunately I did not met the band score I need which should be 7. I only got overall band of 6.5, L6.5, R6.0, W7,S7 . I did paper base, I am planning to take the exam again and this time it ‘s computer delivered, however , I need to improve my listening and reading. Again, thank you I am not expecting to get a band 7 in writing.

  16. Do we able to predict writing essay and letter part and any chance to repeat listenings and reading part (LIZ)

  17. Vinay says

    Hi everyone,
    This is not exactly an exam question but has anyone been able to successfully appear for the exam in Mumbai post Covid outbreak? My exam got cancelled twice; I guess no one can predict the situation.
    But any insights from fellow friends would be helpful!

  18. Kishān Chāli says

    Dear Liz,
    Can you please let me know if we have to cover all parts of the cue card within the two minutes or does the examiner stops us halfway? What happens if we can’t cover all parts within two minutes?

  19. First I’d like to say thanks for all your advise and content! Today I heard someone say a possible cue card was about a useful app and technology. Is it ok if I talk about an app for IELTS? Will it affect my score?

    • Sure. You are not marked on the information you give. Any app or even any thing on a device that helps you would be fine. Good luck with your results πŸ™‚

  20. Hello.
    Actually, I have a question.
    In 8/29 test, for example, can I think that there is a high likelihood that one of these questions will be given ?
    Thank you. You’ve been a great help.

    • Many of these topics will probably be used in August, as explained on the page above. IELTS do not release their topics so these are predictions based on the patterns of topics I have seen over the years and the topics I know appear regularly. However, the examiner has many topics, The more topics you prepare, the more likely you will get something you are familiar with. For example, a topic in part 2, might appear in part 1. So, if you prepare as many topics as possible, it is the best preparation you can do.

  21. DAMON says

    Just thank you Liz for helping us!!

  22. Divine says

    hi Liz
    I have ur Ebook on ideas but the issue is that I don’t know how to use it. I have tried using it but then I can’t could you please show me the best way to utilize this book because my exam is fast approaching in August.
    thanks in anticipation as I await your reply.

    • Please watch the Introduction Video that comes with the e-book to learn how to use it. Remember, it is a self-study book and you take from it what you want – the aim is to learn ideas and learn vocabulary for essay topics. Each topic is a common essay in IELTS Writing Task 2. You can also review essay questions which are listed on this page: https://ieltsliz.com/100-ielts-essay-questions/. If you want to learn techniques to get a high score (ie how to write a high band score essay), you need to the Advanced Lessons on my store: https://elizabethferguson.podia.com/. Good luck!

  23. Dear Liz,
    I am your tutorial follower.I have leant many things from your videos in youtube as well.
    I have a question about my speaking module(Part1,Part2,Part3).
    What will do if we didn’t understand the meaning of a word in a question?Can we ask it as follows?
    —————–
    Examiner : Are you a tidy person?
    Candidate : Sorry I didn’t understand the word β€œtidy ” Could you please explain what it means?

  24. Good luck!

  25. Hi Liz,

    During part 1 in the speaking section, what should I answer on the question of the full name.If I have an only first name(no last name)
    Could you suggest.
    Thanks

    • That question only comes in the ID check before the test starts. This means you give the name that is on your ID card. Please make sure you are familiar with the difference between the ID check/greeting and the actual test.

    Thanks for the update, please I will like to get speaking test for Nigerian, samples of writing that will help me to prepare my test,..My test is coming up in August. Thanks

    • There are hundreds of pages of free lessons, tips, model answers etc on this site. Go to the HOME page to learn how to use this site for free IELTS preparation.

  27. Hi Liz, been reviewing using your website and it is really helpful. I did my exam last week but I am short of .5 with my speaking and I am torn whether to have my speaking remarked or take the whole test again. Thank you for all your efforts in helping IELTS taker like me.

    • It’s not an easy decision. If you have the money, give it a try. The speaking test is all about the English you showed the examiner. Did you show enough fluency? Did you showcase your grammar by offering a range of tenses, conditional statements, comparisons etc? Did you use topic related vocabulary? Did you use informal language (IELTS speaking is informal)? Consider these questions and then decide. Good luck!

  28. Thanks Liz, I had my speaking test today. Questions were about when i was dressed for an occasion, formal outfits .

    • Hope your test went well πŸ™‚

      • Rinny says

        I so appreciate your lessons Liz. Many thanks.
        During my speaking exams, can i name vegetables in my native language when explaining to the examiner or I have to give my examples in English only?

        • You are being marked on your use of English in an English language test. Aim to use English. Any word you say in another language will need to be explained or paraphrased in English.

  29. Hello Liz,

    Could you please tell, are these topics are beneficial for India Speaking also. My test is in July. Can I prepare these topics?

    Thanks,
    Ekta

    • They are for all countries all over the world. They are for GT and Academic candidates because they all take the same speaking test – 100% the same.

  30. Hi Liz
    In speaking exam I had: Describe an old person you know who you respect. Is it ok if I talk about someone who is dead?

    • Sure. As long as it fits the main topic which is about an old person, it’s fine. You could say “Even though the person is no longer here, I feel like they are still with me”. I would also advise you to use the prompts so the examiner doesn’t think you’re giving a memorised talk.

  31. Hi Liz,thanks for all your updates. It was so helpful! I did my speaking today and my question was based on no 17. I think i derailed at a point but the examiner didn’t stop me. Do you think i will lose points?

    • The only thing that impacts your score is your language. If any lack of confidence or confusion affects your language, it might have an impact. But if it is a one off (one time slip), it won’t matter. The scoring is based on your overall performance in language.

  32. Part1:
    do you like to eat fish?
    your hometown accommodation?

    part2:
    A City you visited have pollution problems?

    part3:

    how to resolve the pollution issue?
    What governments cloud do about pollution issues?

  33. Silver says

    If I am asked about “fish and fishing” what do I do? I’ve never fished before and I don’t eat fish?
    Thank you Liz for your amazing website.
    Good luck to everyone who has their exam soon.

    • That’s a tough topic if you haven’t prepared everything about hobbies and food. This would probably be a part 1 topic. So, just be direct and honest. For example:
      Q: Do you eat fish?
      A: No, I don’t. I generally just eat meat like chicken or sometimes red meat such as beef.
      Q: Where do people in your town buy fish?
      A: I would guess in the local market or supermarkets. When I buy meat that’s where I usually go.

      So, just because you don’t like something or do something, you can still communicate in English. Each question is just a chance to talk.

  34. Thank you so much my dear Liz. i get 8.5score from ielts exam .I am so happy , i can’t explain my feelings

    • Fantastic!! I love to hear such good news! Very well done to you! Something to be very proud of πŸ™‚

  35. Mejo vhi says

  36. Dilshodbek says

    Hi Liz!
    Could you tell me that can we speak in a mixed pronunciation (American/British/Australian…) in IELTS speaking test? Or, do we need to choose only one of them?

    Thanks beforehand 😊

    • It is fine to have a mixed accent. Even native speakers have mixed accents if they have lived in various places.

  37. Dear Mam,
    I want to say thanks to you for posting questions in all four parts of Ielts.
    I am preparing for general exam which is in June because of my immigration purpose.
    I just have one question in my mind.
    Sometime it happens that while writing tast 1 or 2 or while speaking,
    We don’t understand some tricky words.
    Because of that ONE difficult word, we fail to understand the real meaning and cannot write well in writing tast 2 for essays.
    Can you please post some words like detrimental..!
    Just for update for Ielts.
    Thank you
    Kiran 😊

    Hi Liz, I just finished my speaking exam. Do I lose points when I spoke and he told me to be more general.

    • No, you won’t lose points. But it means you wasted time in your test by tackling the questions in the wrong way. Time matters. You have only 14 mins max to showcase your entire English language level.
