What is the best way to use the 60 seconds before IELTS Speaking part 2?
I just answered the above question on Quora. Please take a look at my answer and the answers from other teachers.
Do: Choose your preferred strategy or experiment with two or three. Then practice it with at least twenty part 2 questions.
Do: Time yourself. Give yourself the full 60 seconds. Answer the question fully as you would in the real test.
Don’t: Wait to practice with your teacher in class. You can do effective planning practice with a mirror, a friend, or the recorder on your phone.
So you only have one week till the test; no problem you still got enough time to practise this twenty times.
Good luck with your test!
