IELTS Speaking Part 3: Hobbies (Band 6)

[@MarcaF7]

He is good, deserved at least 6,5 band

[@hoangviet7513]

Agree with you

[@maryamirfan7450]

yes i m agree

[@zhueric4635]

agree

[@rinat7221]

Compared to others, its more probably 7 than 6. at least 6.5...

[@mikhaildemianenko8886]

That's because he doesn't possess wide vocabulary

[@Inukioor]

he makes no eye constant that's why he got a 6.

[@mojganarabani5640]

I believed,his band is about 7 because he answer very single question correctly!

[@antonantochi8498]

Wow, he is from Russia. I didn`t understand it at once. Is one of the most common russians hobbies collecting books !? Oh, what year was this video recorded? Maybe it`s true for USSR times..

[@КонстантинКомшуков]

Collecting books is not so popular hobbie in modern Russia. But he had to speak about something in order to pass the exam. Anyway, 6 points is a good mark. Well done.:-)

[@antonantochi8498]

Yeah, most likely....whatever

[@Ayreonaut01]

I'm band 6 as well and it is difficult to speak for 2 minutes about hobbies or any other topic even in your own language.

[@smokeyization]

I dont mean anything, but i speak like a native because i learned English from my childhood, and I keep getting a 6.0. The only problem I knew I did was that i couldn't speak for 2 min i kinda said everything fast and stopped then the examiner gave me this look like ''come on man speak till i stop you'' but i didn't want to say stupid stuff just to fill the time so I just stopped. Do you know if this is a problem with the IELTS center im going to or is it my mistake.

[@12345aswal]

I personally feel that whatever topic they provide...rather then providing a general overview about the topic, focus on your own personal experience about that topic...that totally gives u enough material to speak continuously for around 3-4 mins...

[@enrytime]

Just 6? I'm fucked up! P.s. Take a look to the other videos and you see how the examiner's personal opinion influence the final band. Probably No Scotsman could pass this text...

[@axalix]

No eye contact. That's a mistake too.

[@gherdaiulian]

He started well but throughout the interview he got "tired" of speaking English. I consider to be a thin line between speaking to impress the examiner and talk to him, make a conversation, a dialogue. If you're able to cross that line and have a simple man-to-man conversation, everything will be much easier, words will come rapidly and of course your score will be higher.

[@robertto1ify]

He deserves 7!

[@AtheistInTheCloset]

Hi. I got a question regarding the IELTS speaking part. I have a mild stammer. Normally my speech is perfectly fluent, many people don't even know that I stutter, but when I am nervous it tends to get worse. So if I stuttered while taking the speaking test would that have any effect on my results because it interrupts the fluency of my speech?

[@tolmachevatatiana]

Look what I've found here www.your-ielts-guide.com/August-2006.shtml Occasionally, an interviewer will be asked to assess a candidate with a speech impediment. The impediment might be, for example, a stutter or stammer, or pronunciation difficulties resulting from a cleft palate. Candidates suffering from a speech impediment may wonder if this is taken into consideration during the interview. The short answer is no. All candidates are assessed using the marking criteria defined by IELTS. It pains us to say this but, to be frank, a candidate with a speech impediment is likely to receive a lower mark in the Speaking test than an equally able candidate who does not. A speech impediment can affect two of the marking criteria: 1). Fluency and Coherence 2). Pronunciation. Is it fair that candidates' speech impediments are not take into consideration? On the one hand, IELTS should be fair and unbiased. The result of the test should accurately reflect the ability of the candidate to converse in English and, unfortunate though it is, a speech impediment will make communication more difficult. On the other hand, one could argue that a candidate with any sort of disability should not be discriminated against. In the UK, and in many other countries, there are laws to prevent discrimination of this kind. Indeed, if a university in the UK were to reject a candidate because of a speech impediment we are sure they would receive a lot of bad press and legal action might be taken against them. If you are a prospective candidate with a speech impediment, what should you do? We would first recommend that, when you apply for your test, you inform the Test Centre of your speech impediment. This won't make a difference to your result but it might be useful to you if, at a later date, your Receiving Organisation wishes to confirm you really do have a speech impediment. When you have your IELTS Speaking interview, try to be relaxed. Candidates who have a speech impediment are often very conscious of it and this often makes it worse. The same advice we give to all candidates applies: try to relax and speak normally. Just answer the questions to the best of your ability. When you get your results you might be pleasantly surprised. However, if your Speaking mark is low compared with the other modules and your overall band score is not sufficient for your needs, we suggestion you contact your Receiving Organisation and explain. As an example, if you need an overall 6.5 to study at a University and receive, say, 6, 6.5, 7, 5 (for Speaking) i.e. 6 overall, it would be reasonable for you to contact them and explain that you didn't get the required score because of your speech impediment. It would be clear from the other scores that your understanding of English is higher than is reflected in your Speaking score and we would expect, in many cases, that the Receiving Organisation would make an exception. They might, however, require proof of your speech impediment and that is why it might be helpful if the Test Centre has made a record of it. If you have a speech impediment, don't let it influence your taking the IELTS if it is a step towards your goal.

[@darshraval7194]

does this gentlemen really deserve 6?? if yes than it will be easy to get 8 if i give IELTS from his country !!

[@Azeke777]

Good, but I agree with opinion that he was becoming tired.

[@jeongminhan3534]

너무 조용히 얘기해서 잘 뻔...

[@henriquebarbosa6398]

omg... he got 6??? his speaking skills are probably better than mine, and I need to get at least 6.5!

[@akaal2621]

Oh tell me about it, I have an ielts test in a days and I need 6 band overall, I'm so scared because I feel like my level of language doesn't exceed 5 or 5.5 maximum, especially in the speaking section, i'm not really talkative person, I can't think of high level words very fast and I can't talk for 2 mins even:/ lool hope everything goes fine with me:(

[@abdulrhmanalhashimi874]

Ooh my gosh my IELTS coming soon I have 3 exam in one month

[@mustafakan6079]

Today i had the ielts test and i made a great mistake. the second question was ,,have you ever had a problem with technical equipment" and i was so nervous that my answer was,,yes i had problems. One of my problems was that i did't had a television when i grew up" i know it is probably the worst answer i ever could give but actually it happend. In my opinion i answered the other two parts really well by using a lot of academical vocabularies. No i am scared that the answer i gave in the second part ( i also explained it, that was not the problem at all) which isn't the answer of the question will have a bad effect on my final grade. can someone tell me how much this impact is?

[@mustafakan6079]

*now

[@TheJackdaw77]

I don't think that would make much a difference, but I am not an expert, so am not sure - have you got a result?

[@mustafakan6079]

The results will be published tomorrow. Therefor i will let you know tomorrow. I hope the best, though.

[@kaleem4636]

Mustafa Kan Hi, what score you received in speaking section?

[@mustafakan6079]

It was 6,5

[@दिपकउप्रेती]

is this real ielts test or just for example ???

[@marino360]

examiner is not good enough, I have been talking to native speakers for a while now, the examiner is neither clear nor does he asks questions the way it should be asked

[@sasiparvathi]

I thought he was a native speaker 🤔

[@ath216]

it's your mistake ,, however, i have a speaking test after tomorrow ,, so , i hope i will do will :)

[@kemal7994]

examiner's band score is 4.0

[@jasminejung371]

Some grammatical mistakes in his speaking, I think it’s the root cause why he just got 6.0 bands( I think 6,0 is a perfect mark )

[@lewisranieri3146]

[@lewisranieri3146]

Immigrate

[@MetalDetectingRussia]

Hoang Thong Hey. What's up? I can give you some advice. If you want to improve your vocabulary you should read books. There various types of books for those who learn English, for example: penguin reader books. In order to improve your listening skills you need to listen to various conversations and ielts speaking practices (like this video). I can give you more advice if you have a facebook account or google+.If you want I can send you some online books and ielts preparation books. Where are you from by the way?

[@minhanghuu623]

What do you mean?

[@henriquebarbosa6398]

omg... he got 6??? his speaking skills are probably better than mine, and I need to get at least 6.5!

[@12345aswal]

Those ahs and ahms in every sentence is giving the impression that he is still not confident in speaking in English .. although his vocabulary is quite good.
