If you prepare yourself well before test day, you will feel confident and look confident to your interviewer. So watch this video, follow my advice, and get a high score.

TRANSCRIPT
Hi. Welcome to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. In today's video I'm going to talk about IELTS speaking. So, as normal, I'll speak a little bit faster. For those of you taking the test, you get a little bit of listening practice as well. Even if you're not taking the test, this is also very useful for you if you want to practice your speaking skills in English. Okay?
So, we're going to talk about IELTS speaking generally. Okay? I'm not going to talk about any of the three parts in specific. I want to talk about fluency in specific. Fluency is one of the categories that you will be graded on. The interviewer is listening for your fluency skills when deciding to give you the band out of nine. Okay?
Now, first of all, what does it mean...? What does "fluency" mean? Okay? Fluency has a few things to consider within it. First, how quick you respond; a fast response. So when the question is asked to you, when the interviewer asks you a question in part one or part three, they're looking to find out... They're paying attention to how quickly you answer back. If you receive the question and you need to think about the question, try to translate the question in your mind, then you need to try to build up an answer before you start speaking - the more time you take to do this, the less fluent you are in English. Okay? The graders want to make sure you understood the question quickly, you're ready to start speaking quickly; that's part of fluency.
Another thing: Connected sentences. They want to make sure that your sentences flow from one to the next; you're not just throwing out ideas. "I like it. It's good. I did it five times." Like, all of these sentences individually are not part of fluency. That means you're just throwing out ideas, but fluency is also how... The flow. The flow of your speech. And, again, especially in parts one and three when they're asking a question, but also in parts two where you need to construct the answer completely. They're listening for your thinking sounds, so: "Um... Well, uh... Um... If I... Um... Mm... " All of these thinking sounds means you're having trouble with the language, means: Your fluency is not very high, your score is going down. Okay? Try to minimize or even completely eliminate thinking sounds from your speech; they don't help you.
Now, if you need some time to think about what to say, you could say: "Well, when I think about this situation, what I usually think about is..." and then get into your answer. You say: "Well, um... Well, usually it's like this..." Well, that doesn't work. That's not fluency. That means you're having problems with the language. Okay? So cut out the thinking sounds: "Ah, erm, er", etc.
Now, extend - this is probably the most important part of fluency. Do not give one-word answers to any question. -"Do you like swimming?" -"Yes." -"Okay. Why do you like swimming?" -"It's wet." That doesn't work. That's not an answer, even, right? They want full sentences, they want a few sentences, and they want to have a few ideas all strung together coherently and with nice flow.
Now, with all these things in mind, what do most students have the most problems with when it comes to the actual speaking test of the IELTS? The most common problem is what to talk about; they just don't have ideas. Right? So here is my major tip, my major piece of advice to you when it comes to preparing for the speaking section of the IELTS test: Create an idea bank. Okay? This is what I call this exercise. In... Essentially, what this means is: Do your thinking before the test. Don't be in the test room, don't be sitting in front of the interviewer and trying to think about all these ideas that they're asking you about, because sometimes they're going to ask you about things that you have... You just don't think about; you don't really care about. […]
I owe it to this very video for my speaking test, especially with fluency by responding very fast

Once I start earning, I will definitely donate some money to all of you. You are doing a great help for people around the globe. Keep doing it :)
Btw what questions did they ask you ?

Congratulations. Wonderful thought.
How to speak english fluently 👇
1 - use shadowing technique
2- talk to yourself , record yourself
3- read aloud
4- speak 1 on 1
5- sing a song out loud
Do these 7 days regularly and consistently.
Is it
pls elaborate shadowing tech
@@Jp-yp5mj Shadowing technique or speech shadowing means talking at the same time or just after you hear a native speaker talk. Basically, what you do is take an audio file of an English speaker and try to say the same things as her/him.
Absolutely agree with all, except singing a song
Great! Amanzing tips🙂
That 'lasagna method' reminds me of an old russian joke about a student that studied only one topic for his English exam, London. And when he got a topic 'my family' he went "My family lives in Moscow, we have never been to London. And London is the capital of Great Britain..."
That's hilarious
You do remind me of a classmate of mine when I was still on secondary school. We had to write a lot of narrative compositions back then. Every time he wrote a composition, he simply used the same topic of, say， sports event. Every human being was capable of reading the beginning to know it must be his writing.
I can’t imagine why reason someone gives dislike to such a good video like this 🤷🏻♂️
There are people who just do that for no reason
Just to irritate. It doesn't change anything. He's great.
youtube alogirithm. they dont allow a 100% liked video. it not as high as you think.
They arr holding the phone upside down
Exactly
Examiner: What is your...
You: Lasagne!
Examiner: but...

Thank a lot, these are very useful tips. Usually when you are preparing you become so focussed that forgot to look at these things objectively but when you approach it like this, it really helps to break it down and then tackle small bits.
Love the way you speak Adam, you're simply the best !!!!

Speaking has mostly been my struggle but as they say, as cliché as it comes, practice makes perfect. Calming yourself down before the test really is one of my more successful strategies because you can think better and brainstorm your ideas easier when you're calm and collected. I sit my test last month and it was better than my previous one.
Speaking: 8
Writing: 8
Listening: 8.5
Reading 8:5
Overall: 8.5
For months I have been looking for an English teacher that teaches pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and also gives some test's advice. Now I find him, you are the best!
Adam, thanks so much for your support. I need to practice the fluenly to get a high score. Have a good time there!
I've really loved it! I'll try to do that to improve my conversations in English !!
I just scared your sentence: "You killed two birds with one stone" It was sad kkkkk. I'm kidding, I'll use that as a well. tks !!
This lesson is very practical . I have a funny story about title of this lesson: I hadn't understood THE LASAGNA METHOD ,even after I finished watching the lesson .I mistakenly thought that LASAGNA was an acronym. so I used google to find out that LASAGNA - is (of course) an Italian dish. the Italian spelling of the word has confused me !
Hi Adam, well, as usual you are my hero. Thanks for being there. Charles from Argentina.
You are so amazing, Adam! Thank you 🙏 for this important ideas! Keep going!

I did remember of the "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" kkkkk.... Adam is a great teacher!!!!
-What's your favourite song?
-Bitch Lasagna.
Thanks, Adam, you’re awesome and straight to the point!
I think you're right when you said 'do not be afraid to say i don't know' because sometimes i don't really know anything about a topic even in my native language .
I think what i have to do before going to the interview is educating myself generally not just in English but even in my native language and of course focusing on significant topics.
This is such an important lesson i really appreciate it.
Hello sir 🙏
I must say ,very nice clip and interesting too.... Thank you so much
Shreya Dubey hello
If thinking sounds are a sign that you're not fluent, I'm not even fluent in my native language. 😅🤷🏼♀️
That's where he is wrong.
Yeah, I do hear native speakers utter alot of ahmm, ahh, so on.
Minimize it maybe.
Joyce can you talk to me in English. If you don't mind. I'm from India..
@@johnzab2924 He even ahh's a lot in the video
Thank you a lot. I've seen this video before 1 year ago and I was looking for it now, finally I found it!
Mr. Adam you are a super teacher, wish I had known about you bfore, nonetheless, salute to your knowledge and to your teaching skills, and the way you conduct youtube classes so earnestly and without any thought of any direct monetary gains, you are truly noble. Respect and admirations.
Just passed my IELTS exam recently, solid 8. Thank you very much Adam, your lessons helped a lot!

I like lasagna since i've been eating it eversince i remember starting to eat. My dad brought me books about lasagna and i even watch movies where the characters like eating it. Backstreet boys was my favorite band until i found out linkin park share the same passion for lasagna as me. I reinvented the lemon tree song with the lasagna dish. And u wont beliebe that My czn who happens to be my best frnd also craves lasagna. My hobby is to read about lasagna and its different varieties that can b prepared which is my favorite activity too. We used to play a game "throw the lasagna at the face" instead of a cake. And when i go on vacation, i search for lasagna resturants and if i cant find one, i would just prepare it. I wish there was a lasagna island where i could spend my vacation.
Yeehaww
HHH
I feel like a traitor because I’m currently training for my cambridge exam. Not the ielts one😂
How are your results with that?)
Oh wow lucky me. Am doing IELTS speaking tomorrow. This definitely helps as it is very different from ALL the other IELTS tutorials. Thank you Adam.
thanks a lot...all the advice , topic, all this issues make me strong and every step I take, all my performance I owe to all o you, Mr, Adams ,Rebeca, Alex....
I had my IELTS Speaking last week. The examiner was really nice. His questions were: Do you live in a flat or an apartment, etc, Part 2 Talk about a speacial attire you wore in an occassion. Part 3 was sharing opinions and ideas about clothing.
In my opinion, those topics were boring. Mine is next week!!
Morgan Bev what's the difference between flat and apartment
Morgan Bev hi plz can u tell me how much time u took to preapre for ilets exam?? Im about to start prep now and thinking to appear on june..can u plz suggest me how did u start ur preparation??

Teacher you are really remarkable and a gem here in youtube! I learn alot from your lessons. My take on this is "Just embrace English, accept it and don't push-back" Acknowledge that we need it and we will also benefit from all these hard work. To sum up, English is such a beautiful & fun language to learn. So enjoy 😉
Hi adam. Just got my IELTS results last week. Listening 9.0, Reading 8.5, Speaking 8.0, Writing 6.5.. I need 7 overall band score and 7 in all categories. I definitely need to work on my writing 😢

Try "mezcal" instead of the glass of marmalade.
Fluency is the key, the more fluent you are in Expressing your thoughts the more better you will score, fluency in expressing thoughts helped me achieve band 9 in ielts speaking examination
Thank you Adam! It is so powerful method, I think it will help me a lot.
Hi Adam, i have question for which i could not find a good answer.
Question: where do you see yourself in next 10 years?
Can you help me on this question
Yes
OK, try this.... I haven't made any long-term plans yet so it's difficult to say with any certainty, but I aspire to be working in a large multinational company, one which is prepared to reward on merit and promote accordingly. However as I said, this is not set in stone and I am open-minded about how my life may go.
But it's a bullshit question anyway, I would be tempted to tell the examiner to get lost if they asked me that pathetic cliche.
Need a serious study partner for june attempt.!!!
