IELTS Speaking Part 1 Questions & Answers

IELTS Speaking Test Part 1 usually takes 4-5 minutes. Its essence is a simple interview to obtain basic information of the test taker, for example, at home, city, study or hobby. The candidate must provide personal information in a small talk interview. The conversation is supervised by examiners who actually need to follow the script.

He/she will then ask you general/simple questions regarding your background, home, work, school, family, interests, hobbies, and so on. You will then need to talk continuously on the given topic for about 4-5 minutes, after which you will be asked a few personal questions. Then you will have to answer these questions very casually and honestly.
