 Meaningful result

 The IELTS scoring system is recognised globally, giving you a truly international result. Test takers receive a score of 0–9, with 0 being for those who did not attempt the test, and 9 being for the most proficient users. Most universities accept scores between 6–7 as being suitable for undergraduate study in English.

 Reliable, secure test

 The IELTS 9-band score system grades scores consistently. It is secure, benchmarked and understood worldwide. Test materials are designed carefully so that every version of the test is of a comparable level of difficulty.

 ·     Listening

 What’s in the IELTS Listening paper?

 The paper has four sections, with ten questions in each section. The questions are in the same order as the information in the recording: that is, the answer to the first question will be before the answer to the second question, and so on. 

 Summary

 Sections 1 and 2 deal with everyday, social situations. There is a conversation between two speakers in Section 1 (for example, a conversation about travel arrangements). Only one person speaks in Section 2 (for example, a speech about local facilities).

 Sections 3 and 4 deal with educational and training situations. In Section 3 there is a conversation between two main speakers (for example, two university students in discussion, perhaps guided by a tutor). In Section 4 only one person speaks on an academic subject.

 You will hear the recordings once only. Different accents, including British, Australian, New Zealand and North American, are used.

 You will need to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. You will have 10 minutes at the end of the test to do this. You should be careful when writing your answers on the answer sheet because you will lose marks for incorrect spelling and grammar.

DOs and DON’Ts

 DOs 

  1. Listen carefully to the introduction to each section. This will give you useful information about the situation and the speakers.
  2. Use the time at the beginning of each section (and in the middle of Sections 1–3) to look through the questions and think about the topic.
  3. Read the instructions for each task carefully. Remember to check the maximum number of words allowed.
  4. Write all your answers as you listen – remember, you won’t hear the recording a second time.
  5. Check that what you write makes sense in the context.
  6. Answer all the questions even if you don’t feel sure about an answer – you may have understood more than you think.
  7. Wait until the end of the test to transfer your answers. You have ten minutes for this, which is plenty of time.
  8. Write clearly when you transfer your answers. If an answer isn’t clear on your answer sheet, you will lose the mark.
  9. Check your spelling (and grammar, where necessary). 

DON’Ts 

  1. Don’t worry if you have to cross out or change an answer.
  2. Don’t panic if you miss one question. Look ahead and concentrate on the next one.
  3. Don’t try to rephrase what you hear. Write down the words you hear which fit the question.
  4. Don’t write more than the maximum number of words or letters allowed for each answer.
  5. Don’t copy any words that were printed before or after the gaps on the question paper when you transfer your answers to the answer sheet. 

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 

Is the Listening paper different for Academic and General Training?  

No. All candidates take the same paper.  

What information will I get before each section?  

At the beginning of each section you will hear a short description of the situation you are about to listen to. This may give information about who the speakers are, where they are and what the general topic is. This description is not written on the question paper, so it is important to listen carefully.  

Are all the sections equally difficult?  

No. IELTS Listening tests a wide range of abilities, so the sections generally get more difficult from Section 1 to Section 4. 

Will I have time to look at the questions before I listen?  

Yes, there is time to look at the questions before each section. The voice on the recording will tell you which questions to look at.  

Will there be an example at the beginning?  

Yes, there is an example at the beginning of Section 1. The recording relating to the example is played twice.  

How many times do I hear the recording?  

You will hear each recording ONCE only.  

Are the questions in the same order as the information in the recording?  

Yes. This is true for all task types in IELTS Listening.  

Will there be a pause during the recording?  

There is a pause between each of the sections. Also, there is one break during each of Sections 1, 2 and 3 to allow you time to look at the following questions. However, there is NOT a break in Section 4.  

Will I have time to check my answers at the end of each section?  

Yes.  

What accents do the speakers have on the recordings?  

You will hear a range of English native speaker accents on the recordings, e.g. Australian, British and North American speakers.  

When the instructions say that I should answer in, for example, NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS, will I lose marks if I write an answer with more than three words?  

Yes. Answers which are longer than the word limit will be marked as incorrect.  

Do answers in IELTS Listening have to be correctly spelled?  

Yes. You will lose marks for incorrect spelling and grammar. However, words which you have to write will usually be common words. Both UK and US spellings are accepted. When you hear the name of a person, place, company, etc., in the recording, this may be spelled out.  

·         Reading

 

What’s in the IELTS Academic Reading paper? 

There are three reading texts with a variety of question types. 

Texts come from books, journals, magazines and newspapers and have been written for a non-specialist audience. All the topics are of general interest to students at undergraduate or postgraduate level. The texts may be written in different styles, for example, narrative, descriptive or discursive/argumentative. At least one text contains detailed logical argument. Texts may also contain diagrams, graphs or illustrations. If texts use technical vocabulary, then a simple dictionary definition is provided. 

You will need to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. You must transfer your answers during the hour you are given for the Reading test. Unlike the Listening test, no extra transfer time is given. You should be careful when writing your answers on the answer sheet because you will lose marks for incorrect spelling and grammar. 

Summary 

Time allowed:

60 minutes (including transfer time)

 

 

Number of sections:

3; the total text length is 2,150–2,750 words

 

Number of questions:

40

 

Marking:

Each correct answer receives 1 mark.
Your final score is given as a band score from 1–9 in or
whole or half-bands, e.g. 4, 6.5.

 

  

DOs and DON’Ts 

DOs 

  1. Keep an eye on the time: it will probably seem to pass very quickly, so take care not to spend too much time on any one text or question. Remember that you only have 60 minutes to answer the questions and to transfer your answers on to your answer sheet.
  2. Start at the beginning of the test and work through it. If you cannot do a particular question, leave it and go on to the next. You can then return to that question later, if you have time. Put a mark next to this question on the question paper so that you can find it again quickly.
  3. Answer as many questions as you can.
  4. Look carefully at the title of the text and any subtitles and illustrations it may have. You can get a quick idea of what the text is about from these.
  5. Read the instructions for each set of questions very carefully: it is important to do exactly what you are asked to do.
  6. Where appropriate, remember to skim the questions before reading the text so that you have a purpose for reading.
  7. Make sure you give the text a quick read through so that you are familiar with the topic and how it is developed in the text. An understanding of the text structure can be very helpful when answering the questions.
  8. Use the glossary, if there is one provided, to help you understand unfamiliar words.
  9. Pay attention to any examples that are provided.
  10. Make sure that your answers keep to the word limit asked for: if you are asked for ‘NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS’, for example, then do not write more.
  11. Make sure that you copy words accurately from the text: spelling mistakes will mean that you will lose the mark for that question.
  12. Make sure that where you have to write an answer yourself, your answer is grammatically correct, e.g. Short-answer questions, Sentence completion, Summary completion. 

DON’Ts 

  1. Don’t waste time reading the whole text each time for each set of questions. Remember that many task types ask you to locate or check details in the text. In cases like this you need to skim quickly through the text rather than read it all carefully.
  2. Don’t go back to the beginning of the text for each question when you know from the task type that the answers will come in the order of the information in the text.
  3. Don’t forget that questions can come before the reading text as well as after.
  4. Don’t become anxious if there are questions you cannot answer. Leave them and move onto the next questions. You can always come back to the ones you couldn’t answer at the end of the test, if you have time.
  5. Don’t worry if you don’t understand every word. It may not be necessary to understand all the words in order to answer the questions correctly.
  6. Don’t forget that you must write your answers on your answer sheet. You will not be given extra time to do this at the end of the test.
  7.  Don’t write more than one answer when only one is required. Even if one of your answers is correct, you will not receive a mark. 

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 

How do I record my answers? 

You must put all of your answers on an answer sheet during the 60 minutes allowed. You may write your answers on the question paper first if you like, but the examiner will not read these. No extra time is allowed to copy answers to the answer sheet. 

When the instructions say that I should answer in, for example, NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS, will I lose marks if I write an answer with more than three words?  

Yes. Answers which are longer than the word limit will be marked as incorrect. 

Will I lose marks for spelling and grammar mistakes in my answers?  

All the words you will need in order to answer the questions will be given in the text. Remember to transfer your answers to the answer sheet with care. You will lose marks for poor spelling and grammar. 

How long should I spend on each text? 

You have 60 minutes to read three texts and answer 40 questions. You should spend about 20 minutes on each text. Make sure that you do not waste time worrying about questions you can’t answer – use your time sensibly to read what you can and answer as many questions as possible. 

 What’s in the IELTS General Training Reading paper? 

There are three sections of increasing difficulty. Section 1 may contain two or three short texts or several shorter texts. Section 2 contains two texts. In Section 3 there is one long text. 

The texts in Section 1 deal with everyday topics, and they are the sort of texts that a person would need to be able to understand when living in an English-speaking country. You will need to pick out important information, e.g. from notices, advertisements and timetables. The texts in Section 2 focus on work topics, for example job descriptions, contracts and staff development and training materials. The text in Section 3 deals with a more general topic. The style of writing in Section 3 is generally descriptive (containing detailed information) and instructive (telling you how to do something). This Section 3 text is longer and more complex than the texts in Sections 1 and 2. Section 3 texts are taken from newspapers, magazines, and fictional and non-fictional book extracts. 

You will need to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. You must transfer your answers during the hour you are given for the Reading test. Unlike the Listening test, no extra transfer time is given. You should be careful when writing your answers on the answer sheet because you will lose marks for incorrect spelling and grammar.

·     Writing 

What’s in the IELTS Academic Writing paper? 

There are two Writing tasks and BOTH must be completed.  

In Task 1 you have to describe some visual information in your own words (a graph, table, chart or diagram). You need to write at least 150 words in about 20 minutes. 

In Task 2 you are given a point of view, argument or problem which you need to discuss. You need to write at least 250 words in about 40 minutes. 

You must write your answer using full sentences. You must not write your answer as notes or bullet points. You must write your answer on the answer sheet. You are allowed to write notes on the question paper, but this will not be seen by the examiner. 

Marking 

Certificated IELTS examiners assess your performance on each Writing task. There are four assessment criteria (things which the examiner thinks about when deciding what score to give you):  

  1. Task achievement/response
  2. Coherence and cohesion
  3. Lexical resource
  4. Grammatical range and accuracy. 

Task achievement (in Task 1) and Task response (in Task 2) includes how accurately, appropriately and relevantly your response covers the task requirements, using the minimum of 150 words for Task 1 and 250 words for Task 2. 

In Task 1, all the information you require is given in the diagram. 

In Task 2, Task Response includes how well you develop your argument in response to the task, giving evidence and examples which may be from your own experience. 

Coherence and cohesion includes how clear and fluent your writing is, and how you organise ideas and information. It includes giving your ideas in a logical order, and using a range of cohesive devices (including linking words and phrases such as ‘therefore’, ‘also’, ‘on the other hand’, etc., and pronouns such as ‘that’, ‘these’, ‘they’, etc.) appropriately. 

Lexical resource includes the range of vocabulary you have used, and how accurately and appropriately you use it. 

Grammatical range and accuracy includes the range of grammar you have used and how accurately and appropriately you have used it.

In Task 1, you need to describe the visual information and present this information in an organised, coherent way. Therefore, you need to write an introduction, although this can be very short. Also, a short summary of the main trends or features is a good way to finish. Remember that you do not need to guess about the reasons for things in Task 1. (For example, do not write ‘I think this is probably because …’).

·     Speaking 

What’s in the IELTS Speaking paper?  

The Speaking test is a face-to-face interview between the candidate and an examiner. The Speaking test is recorded.  

There are three parts to the test and each part follows a specific pattern of tasks in order to test your speaking ability in different ways.  

Marking 

Certificated IELTS examiners assess your speaking performance throughout the test. There are four assessment criteria (things which the examiner thinks about when deciding what score to give you): 

  1. Fluency and coherence
  2. Lexical resource
  3. Grammatical range and accuracy
  4. Pronunciation. 

Fluency and coherence includes how well you can speak at a normal speed without too much hesitation. It also includes putting your sentences and ideas in a logical order and using cohesive devices (including linking words and phrases such as ‘so’, ‘although’, ‘having said that’, etc. and pronouns such as ‘she’, ‘that’, ‘those’, etc.) appropriately so that what you say is not difficult to follow. 

Lexical resource includes the range of vocabulary you use and how accurately and appropriately you use vocabulary to express meaning. It also includes the ability to express yourself using alternative vocabulary when you don’t know a particular word. 

Grammatical range and accuracy includes the range of grammar you use and how accurately and appropriately you use it. 

Pronunciation includes your ability to speak in a way which can be understood without too much effort. 

Summary

11–14 minutes

 

 

Number of parts:

3

 

 DOs and DON’Ts 

DOs 

  1. Talk to the examiner – you will feel more involved in the conversation.
  2. Listen carefully to the questions you are asked so that your answers are relevant.
  3. Answer the questions you are asked with some detail so that your answers are long enough.
  4. Practise speaking for 2 minutes for the long turn in Part 2.
  5. Use the preparation time in Part 2 to think about what is written on the card.
  6. Use the instructions and prompts on the card in Part 2 to help you to organise your long turn.
  7. Practise ways of delaying answers to give yourself time to think in Part 3.
  8. Explain your opinions and give examples to support them. 

DON’Ts 

  1. Don’t learn answers by heart.
  2. Don’t give very short answers, except when the examiner interrupts you at the end of the 2 minutes in Part 2. At this point, the examiner needs to move on to Part 3 of the test and only expects a short answer to their questions.
  3. Don’t talk about something different from what is on the card in Part 2.
  4. Don’t worry if the examiner stops you in Part 2. It means you have spoken enough, and they have to keep to the timing of the test.
  5. Don’t write on the task card.
  6. Don’t worry if you realise you have made a mistake. It is OK to correct yourself. If you can’t correct yourself, forget it and carry on.
  7. Don’t ask the examiner if what you say is correct. 

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) 

What can I take into the test room?  

You can only take your identity document. The examiner will give you everything you need in the test.  

Why is the IELTS Speaking test recorded?  

The recording is needed in case your performance needs to be re-marked.  

Is it a good idea to learn short speeches about my town or job by heart?  

No, you should listen carefully to the examiner and just respond to the questions. If you say something you have memorised, you probably won’t answer the examiner’s question exactly.  

What if I don’t know anything about the topic in Part 2?  

The topics are carefully chosen to reflect common experiences, so you don’t need special knowledge to talk about them. It is extremely unlikely that you would be unable to talk about the topic given.  

Can I start speaking before the 1-minute preparation time is over in Part 2?  

Yes. If you don’t need the whole minute, you can begin speaking when you are ready. However, it is a good idea to use all of the preparation time.  

Do I have to write notes in Part 2?  

No, making notes is just an option. Some candidates prefer just to think about what to say whereas others find that making notes helps them to organise their ideas and to keep talking.  

How long should I talk for in Part 2?  

You will have the opportunity to talk for 2 minutes. You should try to talk for the full 2 minutes to give the examiner a good sample of your English.  

What should I do if I don’t understand a question or the Part 2 task?  

You should tell the examiner that you don’t understand. In Parts 1 and 3, the examiner will be able to repeat the question. In Part 2 you should look carefully at the task card because you may be able to guess the meaning of a word you have not understood. In Part 3, the examiner will be able to ask the question in a different way, or may be able to help you to understand the question. 

Will the examiner tell me if I have done well or not?  

No, the examiner is not allowed to give feedback, and you should not ask them to do so. 

Results 

There is no pass or fail in IELTS. Candidates are graded on their performance in the test, using scores from 1–9 for each part of the test – Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Your results from the four parts then produce an overall band score. 

This unique 9-band system measures scores in a consistent manner – wherever and whenever the test is taken. It is internationally recognised and understood, giving you a reliable international currency.

بدیهی است که به منظور کسب نمره عالی در آزمون گفتاری آیلتس باید در مورد انواع سوالات، موضوعات و نوع پاسخی که باید در بخش ۱، بخش ۲ و بخش ۳ ارائه بدهید بدانید. در این یادداشت برای آشنایی شما به بررسی چند نمونه اسپیکینگ آیلتس که در آزمون‌های قبل استفاده شده‌اند پرداخته شده است.

سوال‌های اسپیکینگ آیلتس برای ارزیابی مهارت گفتاری شما طراحی شده‌اند. این بخش از آیلتس ۱۱ تا ۱۵ دقیقه طول خواهد کشید. شما در این جلسه باید در مورد موضوعات مختلفی از جمله آب و هوا، مسائل شخصی، خاطرات، کتاب و فیلم با مصاحبه‌گر آیلتس صحبت کنید.

این بخش از آزمون در یک اتاق ساکت با حضور یک مصاحبه‌گر و به طور معمول قبل از آزمون کتبی برگزار می‌گردد. وظیفه مصاحبه‌گر درک لهجه شما و القا حس آرامش است.

اسپیکینگ آیلتس در یک نگاه

بخش گفتاری آزمون آیلتس از ۳ بخش تشکیل شده است که در ادامه پس از شرح هر بخش به بررسی نمونه‌های اسپیکینگ آیلتس مرتبط با هر بخش پرداخته خواهد شد.

  • بخش ۱: ممتحن در این بخش سوالات کلی در مورد زندگی شخصی شما و موضوعات عمومی مانند خانه، خانواده، کار، تحصیل و علایق از شما می‌پرسد. این بخش از آزمون آیلتس بین ۴ تا ۵ دقیقه طول خواهید کشید.
  • بخش ۲: به شما یک کیوکارد داده می‌شود و ممتحن از شما می‌خواهد در مورد آن صحبت بکنید. ۱ دقیقه زمان در اختیار شما گذاشته می‌شود که برای ۲ دقیقه صحبت کردن در مورد آن موضوع آماده شوید. پس از صحبت ممتحن یک یا دو سوال مرتبط با موضوع از شما می‌پرسد تا این بخش از آزمون نیز به پایان برسد.
  • بخش ۳: در این بخش از آزمون سوالات بیشتری در رابطه با موضوع بخش ۲ از شما پرسیده خواهد شد. در این بخش با توجه به سوالات ارائه شده شما باید به شرح ایده‌ها و موضوع‌ها بپردازید. این بخش از آزمون به طور معمول بین ۴ تا ۵ دقیقه طول می‌کشد.

نمونه اسپیکینگ آیلتس مرتبط با بخش ۱

بخش یک اسپیکینگ آیلتس به این شکل شروع خواهد شد که ممتحن از شما می‌خواهد که خودتان را معرفی کنید و مدرک شناسایی را نشان دهید.

در مرحله بعدی از شما سوالات کلی مانند محل زندگی یا کاری که در آن لحظه مشغول انجام آن هستید یا در صورت دانشجو بودن در مورد تحصیلات پرسیده می‌شود.

با بررسی یک نمونه اسپیکینگ آیلتس متوجه خواهید شد که پس از سوالات کلی ممتحن به سراغ طیفی وسیعی از موضوعات آشنا مانند موسیقی مورد علاقه شما، آشپزی، آب و هوا یا فیلم‌ها و سریال‌هایی که دنبال می‌کنید می‌رود. به طور کلی در این بخش از آزمون سوالاتی در مورد دو موضوع از شما پرسیده می‌شود.

اگر پاسخ شما از نظر ممتحن کوتاه باشد با کلماتی مانند «Why?» و «Why not?» شما را به صحبت کردن تشویق می‌کند. در این بخش بیش از هر چیزی اطلاعات روزمره شما و نحوه بیان آن ارزیابی می‌شود. در ادامه شما می‌توانید با دانلود PDF نمونه سوالات اسپیکینگ آیلتس با جواب مربوط به بخش یک با محتوای آن بیشتر آشنا شوید. لازم به ذکر است جواب در قالب یک نمونه مصاحبه اسپیکینگ آیلتس به همراه متن آن ارائه شده است.

بخش ۲ اسپیکینگ آیلتس

در انتهای بخش ۱ ممتحن یک موضوعی در اختیار شما می‌گذارد و از شما می‌خواهد برای یک تا دو دقیقه در مورد آن صحبت کنید.

موضوع به وسیله یک کیوکارد به شما تحویل داده می‌شود و همچنین یک کاغذ و مداد جهت یادداشت‌برداری و آماده شدن داده می‌شود. شما روی کاغذ باید طرح کلی از آنچه که قرار است بیان کنید و نکاتی که باید به آن توجه کنید را در یک دقیقه بنویسید.

پس از به پایان رسیدن یک دقیقه ممتحن از شما می‌خواهد که صحبت خود را شروع کنید. نکاتی که در کیوکارد وجود دارد به شما کمک می‌کند که در مورد صحبت‌های خود فکر کنید و به کمک یک طرح کلی در دو دقیقه به تمام آن موضوعات بپردازید.

در انتها پس از ۲ دقیقه ممتحن دو سوال بسیار کوتاه مرتبط با موضوع از شما می‌پرسد تا از این مساله که شما چیزی را حفظ نکرده‌اید اطمینان حاصل کند.

این بخش از آزمون جهت بررسی توانایی شما در صحبت کردن طولانی در ارتباط با یک موضوع خاص و استفاده از دستور زبان و واژگان مناسب است. برای آشنایی بیشتر با این بخش از ارزیابی مهارت گفتاری شما یک نمونه اسپیکینگ آیلتس به همراه یک نمونه مصاحبه آورده شده است که می‌توانید دانلود و بررسی بکنید.

نمونه اسپیکینگ آیلتس مرتبط با بخش ۳

همانطور که در نمونه اسپیکینگ آیلتس مشاهده خواهید کرد تمام سوالات این بخش به موضوع بخش ۲ که در مورد آن صحبت کردید مرتبط هستند. شما در مورد موضوع به صورت کلی‌تر بحث خواهید کرد. شما به مصاحبه‌گر نشان می‌دهید که چقدر قادر به بیان و توجیه نظرات و ایده‌های خود هستید. علاوه بر این قدرت تحلیل، بحث عمیق و گفت‌وگو خود را به نمایش می‌گذارید.

برای مثال اگر موضوع کیوکارد شما در مورد یک مکان زیبا برای بازدید در شهر شما بود این بخش از اسپیکینگ آیلتس ممکن است با بحث در مورد مکان‌های زیبا آغاز شود و اولین سوال ممکن است این باشد که آیا فکر می‌کنید حفظ مکان‌های زیبا در شهرها اهمیت دارد؟

در این بخش از آزمون ممتحن با شما بیشتر صحبت می‌کند و ممکن است از شما بخواهد که از نظر خود دفاع بکنید. هدف از این امر بررسی توانایی شما در برقراری ارتباط بین ایده‌ها و نظرات است. به همین دلیل باید منتظر قطع شدن صحبت خود و به چالش کشیده شدن باشید. در حقیقت شما باید با قدرت کلامی خود در این گفت‌وگو از نظرات خود دفاع بکنید.

در این بخش نیز مانند دو بخش قبل یادداشت امکان دانلود PDF نمونه سوالات اسپیکینگ آیلتس با جواب فراهم شده است. جواب این بخش نیز در قالب یک فایل صوتی به همراه رونوشت آن ارائه شده است.
