This full IELTS speaking test from September is based on real questions currently on the IELTS speaking exam.

Check out some of my speaking sample answers for free on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@howtodoielts

One big difference you will see between my sample answers for speaking and other ones is that mine are more natural – like real speaking.

Writing is different from speaking. In English, we don’t speak in formal sentences like an essay.

For example, many sample answers might write and answer like: “Yes, I really love to eat ice. Ice cream is one of my favorite foods and when I have the time to go get ice cream, I will go with my friends.”

But that is unnatural – it is too much like writing.

A more natural way of saying the same answer would be:

“Sure, sure, I’ve been known to grab the occasional ice cream – with friends most of the time – when we’re already out – maybe after getting coffee or grabbing a bite to eat. Why not?”

Enjoy and you can get the full EBook here with natural answers for these questions and many more (including the IELTS writing exam) on Patreon: Patreon.com/howtodoielts

Is it difficult for you to stay focused on something?

It can be, sure, no different from anyone else. I suppose it’s especially hard depending on the mood I’m in – if I haven’t had enough sleep, or I’ve got stuff going on in my life, or I haven’t been eating healthy and getting in some exercise – but also it comes down to what I’m doing. Of course, work is never a priority so I tend to be most distracted at the office.
