Below are some predicted IELTS Speaking Part 1 topics that could appear this year. Please do not just jump to the list of topics. Please read all the information given below before you read the list of topics. The best way to learn is to be attentive to detail.
Preparation
As you see, I have not written questions, only topics. This is because it is important that you answer naturally in your IELTS Speaking Test without using memorised answers or memorised sentences. Instead, just prepare the following:
- key vocabulary
- comparisons
- your childhood memories
- your recent past memories
- your current situation or opinions
- popular activities or opinions in your country
- things you can do / don’t do / do often / would like to do
- your future hopes
You can prepare for your Speaking Test on your own at home. See this video: How to Develop Your IELTS Speaking at Home for Free

Hey Liz, you did a splendid job with only few videos and youths are eagerly waiting you to resume the session in YT.
This generation need your guidance with cute smiles and words of mouth like pearls…
Hope, you will surely come back stronger… Wishing a speedy recovery.
Thanks for your comment. I’m really keen to get back on Youtube. It’s been too long since I made a video. Unfortunately, 2022 was actually a terrible year for my health. I thought I was improving and then suddenly get worse. However, 2023 is a new year and anything is possible. As soon as I feel a bit stronger and more stable, I’ll make a new video. Wishing you all the best for 2023!!
We are enthusiastically waiting for you, Dear Liz and we hope you feel better.
2023 is our year to breaking leg.! 🙂
Thanks
God give you best reward ❣️
Why you don’t have new video in youtube?

I bought your course in 2020 from your website selz.com but now I cannot access the link on selz.com. I don’t find any way to contact your through your website. Please help me. I have the order email in the record.
Please email me all your details: store@ieltsliz.com

Greetings Liz,
Thanks for all your great labours! We love you and appreciate it.
If I purchase one of your advanced tutorials on your store, will you receive the money?
Thanks and hope you get well soon!
Thanks for your kind comment. I love doing what I do. Yes, I’d receive money from you buying something from my store – but you don’t have to. Unless you enjoy learning more of course 🙂
Liz how are you feeling now.May God grant you good health always .l love you and enjoy your lesson.
Thanks. My illness in long term which means it takes years to get better. When I feel strong enough to make a new video for Youtube, you’ll know that I’m feeling stronger – but it won’t mean I’m better. Thanks for your concern and kindness 🙂
Hello Liz. How are you and how is ur health.
I wish you a quick recovery.. in your darkest times always remember that there is a God that brings light at the end of every tunnel, He will surely bring light your way. Amen
Thank you
Thank you so much Liz for all you do. I have looked up several coaching materials online but saw non that is as comprehensive and detailed as yours. They are quite straightforward and easy to learn.
I had my speaking test yesterday, 2nd June. I hope for the best.
Fingers crossed for your results!! 🙂
Hi, How are you Miss Liz?
I want to ask you a question if you don’t mind, why you are not uploading your more beneficial and informative videos in your YouTube channel as you uploaded before?
Kindly respond me as soon as possible.
Thank You for everything…
See this page: https://ieltsliz.com/determination-my-story/
Hello dear, we are all praying for you 🙏❤♥
Thanks
Your material has helped a lot.
I Have my exam on 31st May 2022.
But I just don’t feel confident enough in speaking.
I am trying to tell myself not to worry, but I end up having bad thoughts.
Remember that part 1 is all about your own life and your country. This is the same as part 2. The questions and topics relate to everyday life. You don’t need to think of ideas, just answer the questions and chat. The aim is to show you enjoy speaking in English. Imagine you are meeting the examiner in a cafe and the two of you start chatting. Be open, friendly and chatty. The examiner will move on the next question when he or she wants – so just let the examiner guide you and interrupt you when they want to. Part 3 is more like writing task 2 essay topics – so if you’ve prepared for writing task 2, you’ll have loads of ideas about broader world issues. Remember part 3 is about the world in general, not about yourself. Relax, enjoy and be chatty!! Good luck!
hello Liz, I have gone through the above topics, My test is on the 28th of May. Let’s see how it goes. I am scared.
Try to relax. It isn’t possible to predict all topics for the speaking test, but just remember that they are all everyday topics. You are not being tested on your knowledge. Each question is a chance to speak and show your English. So, be natural, chatty and enjoy the test!! Good luck!
Thanks Liz..My test is tomorrow 27 May and I found your information very helpful
Good luck!
Thanks Liz you are doing great job Iam gonna test , day after tomorrow and ill update result later
Good luck!

Very good notes and videos done by Liz.
Well done Liz.
Glad they’ve all been helpful 🙂
I am amazed at how well informed and accurate you are!!!
My Topic was “Mirrors”, **Whoa**
I attempted the test on 1st of May.
Awesome!! Not an easy topic. But at the same time, it’s a topic that is part of our daily lives. IELTS Speaking Part 1 is all about your daily life and people’s daily lives in general. Their topics are universal and go beyond culture. So, anything you do in a day could be a topic: looking at a mirror, looking at the sky, rain, laughter, shoes, boredom, time, numbers, names etc. The more you think about your life, the better. Good luck with your results 🙂
Thank you for your blessing
Good luck to you
Thank you, it was indeed a difficult topic to discuss because the ideas around this topic are so subjective, still, thankfully I managed to get my desired score of 7.5 🙂
That’s a great score! Well done 🙂
thank you , I will try my best
