IELTS Speaking Part 3: Hobbies (Band 8)

Examiner Comments on Candidate
Band 8
This candidate speaks very fluently and is able to give long, complex and very detailed responses without any loss of coherence, repetition or language searches. She uses a wide range of discourse markers naturally and precisely. Her range of vocabulary allows a high degree of precision and flexibility with plenty of examples of stylistically appropriate language. Only occasional inaccuracies or slight inappropriacies (Competition is quite big) restrict her rating. She uses a wide range of complex structures with the majority of sentences being error-free. However, there are examples of inappropriate choice of tense and other occasional, non-systematic errors. Candidate J is easy to understand throughout the test, in spite of her accent. Although there are occasional mispronunciations of individual phonemes, these have minimal effect on communication. She is able to use a wide range of features, such as intonation and contrastive stress, to convey meaning.
This candidate's high overall fluency and wide range of features with only occasional examples of inappropriate usage make her a strong example of a Band 8 candidate.

Notice the examiner asking more probing questions and using idiomatic expression. This is to push and challenge the candidate more.

    She is a very natural speaker, it is important to give the impression that you're relaxed by smiling or laughing at times when it's appropriate and also make the examiner feel at home that way :p Take control of the situation and don't let it control you.

    Thanks for your reminding all the time when i need to understand the clues to obtain a higher for the speaking test. Of course, to achieve my goal isn’t very easily to practise but to find a right solutions to ensure that i have to reduce some unnecessary conversations to the inteviewer. Unfortunately, my limited range of my brain status always think about my current English where i used to be learnt from my country. Frankly speaking. I am really afraid it is impossible to achieve a higher grade when examiner find out my personal problems of speaking English more ashamely.

    IELTS Speaking band descriptors say that to get 9 a candidate must: • use a full range of pronunciation features with precision and subtlety • sustain flexible use of features throughout • be effortless to understand in short, a candidate has to sound as a native-speaker As for Band 8, a candidate snould be easy to understand throughout; L1 accent is allowed but it has minimal effect on intelligibility. All this is true for the lady.

    She was brilliant! No matter how hard I work on my improving I will never be able to speak that fast, using complex and intelligent expressions in such overpressuring (and I don't even know if this word exists lol) situation. There's no way I'm able to get a band score 8 if that's the fluency required to reach it. My accent is much better than hers. But she takes me down in all the other abilities. Besides, I'm afraid that my anxiety will screw up my chances! What happens if the subject picked by the examiner is not familiar to me? I've watched many samples where the examiner asks things like politician or sports for example and I simply know nothing about it! I hate sports and politician would be tough for me to talk about even if I was being argued in my own language. Under this situation, what will I be supposed to do??? Anyone to answer it?

    I'm from Moscow and I got Band 9 on my first IELTS attempt. I can record a video if you're interested. I found Writing to be the only unfair part of the test. The requirements are simply too narrow and don't fit the definition of what passes for good writing in the academia. I got 7.5 for it, which brought my overall mark down to 8.5. I imagine it's because I was unaware of some ridiculous standards that I could only know if I attended a preparatory course. I feel slighted.

    IELTS speaking is designed for imagining of chatting with some people who you may meet. It's definitely not following up of what textbook you have learnt in school. The reason of why she obtained band 8 as she have more naturally communication skills. Do you know what communication skills is? You clearly don't know what IELTS actually designed for instead of judging someone by your own ideas. Part 1, 2 and 3 are topics, indeed, yup. But IELTS examination is definitely for students, workers and technician immigrants moving to other countries and may have used wide range of English speaking abilities in English speaking countries. IELTS speaking this task, it actually can use your own natural communication while answering questions. Speaking as much as you can and describe things and life as much as you can. It's definitely unlike everything you have learnt in school and always following their traditional teaching manner in your country.

    In order for your essay to get Band 9 in IELTS, it needs a 9 in every single criterion. Band 9 in Task Achievement means that you've fully addressed all parts of the task and your position expressed in your answer is completely developed and includes relevant ideas which you wrote at length about. Band 9 in Coherence and Cohesion means you have structured your essay correctly in terms of using paragraphs and you've achieved cohesion effortlessly, without drawing attention to it. To get Band 9 for Lexical Resource you need a variety of higher-level vocabulary, but the way you use it has to be natural; your errors, if any, must be rare and hardly noticeable. Band 9 for Grammatical Range and Accuracy comes from using a wide range of sentence structures correctly, accurately, and flexibly. You can visit: If you like the content.

    She doesn't pronounce words with a very good English accent, she has the advantage of speaking fast enough but sometimes it seems that she's in a hurry. But I think that the biggest disadvantage is pronunciation of words (notice that she speaks with her mouth almost closed, it's true that she has a small mouth but still.....).
