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

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.
