IELTS Test Knowledge - Basic Info

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System. It is an English language proficiency exam which measures the ability of test-takers to communicate in the four basic language skills: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

The IELTS is managed by three main institutions: the British Council, IDP: IELTS Australia and the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations (Cambridge ESOL). This is important to understand in order to prepare for what is essentially an examination of British and not American English.

Many students who have prepared for or appeared for the TOEFL iBT are surprised when they face difficulties understanding accents and expressions used by British speakers in the IELTS. This is why thorough preparation, at a language school or through self-study, is so essential for success in this exam.

There are two versions of the IELTS exam: general and academic. Test-takers must know in advance which one is needed for their purposes as the scores are not interchangeable. Each test lasts two hours and forty-five minutes.

    Speaking Skills for Speaking Part One

    Question : Do you have any brothers or sisters?


    Answer : Yes ( this is a grammatically correct answer, but you are practising only one word! )


    Answer : Yes, I do or Yes, I have (short answers are correct, but do not give maximum practice)


    Native speakers use short form answers a lot as they already know the full form answer and so they cut it to a short form answer to save time.


    However, for second language learners, like you guys, it is much better to get more speaking practice by speaking the full form answer. This helps you speak more words, improves your fluency and gives you more confidence. It also helps you learn grammar structures by speaking them in a full form answer!


    Do you have any brothers or sisters?

    Yes Yes, I do

    *Both these answers are 'short form answers' and are correct answers. However, they do not give you maximum practice of English because you are not speaking a lot of words and so don't get the maximum speaking practice!*


    Do you have any brothers or sisters?
