IELTS Speaking Practice Test

 


This post presents a complete IELTS Speaking Test simulation, including all four parts: introduction, interview questions, role play, passage reading, and discussion.


Part 1: Introduction and Personal Questions

The examiner begins with a few basic questions.

Q: Can you please spell your surname?
A: Sure, it’s T-R-O-N-C-E-A.

Q: Where are you from?
A: I am from Romania.


Study Skills

Q: Tell me where you go when you want to concentrate on your studies.
A: I usually go to the school library because it’s silent and has a tidy atmosphere, which helps me concentrate.


Daily Life

Q: Is it good to follow the same routine every day?
A: Yes, I think it is. Having a routine helps me finish my work on time and do things at my own pace.


Phones

Q: Tell me about the type of apps you use regularly.
A: I use a smartphone and a laptop. On my smartphone, I stay in touch with friends, entertain myself, and sometimes study. On my laptop, I mostly write emails, browse the internet, and search for study materials.


Towns and Cities

Q: Tell me why you like the city where you live.
A: I currently live in Berlin. I like it because it’s a big city with many things to do, and it has people from all over the world.


Part 2: Role Play Situations

Situation 1: Changing the Topic of a Project

The student asked the tutor about changing the topic of a project because the original topic was difficult. After discussion, the tutor allowed the change as long as the student could complete it before the deadline.

Situation 2: Internet Problems in Student Residence

The student reported internet problems in the residence. The technician confirmed that several residents had the same issue and arranged to visit the room during the weekend to fix the connection.


Part 3: Reading Passage and Discussion

The student was asked to read a short passage about plastic pollution:

“In the 19th century, the invention of man-made plastic was held as a breakthrough… today, however, attitudes have changed as plastic has become a major source of pollution.”

Follow-up Question:
Do you think there are advantages to producing plastic today?

  • Yes, because plastic is cheap, unbreakable, and widely used. Although it harms the environment, recycling allows us to reuse it.

Part 4: Undergraduate Attitudes to Jobs

The student discussed a chart showing how first-year, second year, and final-year undergraduates view job priorities differently:

  • Salary & Benefits: Final-year students value these the most.
  • Flexible Hours & Career Opportunities: Also, more important for final-year students.
  • Company Size & Values: First-year students focus more on these aspects compared to final-year students.

Follow-up Question:
Do students’ ideas change during their three years of study?

  • Yes. First-year students care more about company size and culture, while final-year students prioritize salary and benefits, reflecting real-world expectations.

Final Thoughts

This IELTS Speaking simulation covered a wide range of topics, from personal habits to environmental issues and job expectations. Practicing with such full-length mock tests can help candidates build fluency, confidence, and structured answers for the real exam.
