IELTSスピーキングは、個室で試験官と一対一の面接形式で行われます。パート1から3に分かれて約14分ほどで終わる短いテストです。緊張したり、試験官の反応が気になって自分の実力が出せなかったり、頭が真っ白になってしまったりといろんな理由で失敗してしまうことも多々あることでしょう。そこでスピーキング練習を重ねることで、自信につながり自分の実力を出し切るように万全の準備で臨みましょう。この記事ではパート1からパート3まで’多くの例題を取り上げいるので練習用にお使いください。パート1とパート3は質問の音声が録音されているので活用しましょう。
パート1
日常的で自己紹介な部分となるパートです。自発的に会話を広げる努力はハイスコアにはとても大事ですが、このパート1ではあまり長すぎる回答は避けましょう。3文から6文ぐらいで回答するようにしましょう。音声には質問が入っていますので練習してみましょう。質問と質問の間にはポーズが取られていますが、短い場合は一度音声を止めてチャレンジしてください。
