Easy methods to unlock IELTS Talking Half 3 Questions!
In our unique episode, Nick and I additionally supply strategies that you need to use that can assist you reply the difficult questions in Half 3. These included shopping for time to suppose, avoiding stereotypes, giving your reply earlier than you’re 100% positive what it’s, and focusing on the query.
Nonetheless, whereas educating final week, I realised that even when college students are utilizing these strategies, they nonetheless wrestle to give you concepts for most of the Half 3 questions. Generally it’s because they don’t have an satisfactory understanding of the subject – clearly it’s unattainable to reply questions on advertising and marketing or management or attitudes to studying when you have by no means thought of these matters earlier than.
However that isn’t the issue that I noticed. What I realised is that once I hear most of the Half 3 questions, I instantly perceive the subject or the theme that IELTS is attempting to focus on within the query, however most of my college students don’t. Take this query for instance:
Some folks consider that sooner or later most individuals will dwell in house blocks. Do you suppose that is true?
What do you suppose the IELTS query writers have been attempting to make you speak about after they set this query? The plain reply is “house blocks”, however I don’t suppose that’s the case.
I believe that they have been hoping that the scholar would speak about inhabitants development, motion to cities, and lack of house.
Do you see? None of those matters are immediately talked about within the query, however I believe that that is actually what the query is aimed toward eliciting from the scholar.
And I believe that this “hidden theme” is an actual downside. As soon as I inform the scholar the subject or theme, they can give an prolonged, well-developed response. Nonetheless, I’m not going to be there within the examination to interpret the query for my college students, so I need to look right now at how one can begin to recognise these predominant matters your self.
Now, simply to be clear, there are not any “appropriate” responses in Half 3, so in case your concepts are totally different to mine and you’ll be able to prolong and justify them, that’s nice. All I need to present you is how one can begin to consider the response that questions have been most certainly constructed to generate.
And that’s what Nick and I do for the remainder of the episode. We’ll present you the right way to think about present developments, use examples, and think about the earlier questions within the part that can assist you unlock IELTS Talking Half 3 questions.
Then, we provides you with the prospect to contemplate the next ten inquiries to put these new strategies into observe.
