IELTS Speaking Part 2 - 2025
The IELTS Speaking test is a crucial and challenging part of the IELTS exam that assesses a candidate’s ability to communicate effectively in spoken English. It consists of three parts: an introduction and short questions about familiar topics, a short speech on a given topic, and a deeper, more analytical discussion with the examiner. To achieve a high score, candidates need to practice a variety of topics, learn professional response structures, and improve their pronunciation and fluency—especially with a natural British accent. Practicing with sample answers and mimicking authentic accents can help build confidence and ensure a smooth, fluent performance during the test.
Describe a teacher who helped you improve your speaking skills.
You should say:
-
Who the teacher is
-
What kind of person they are
-
What they did to help you
-
And explain how they helped you become more confident in speaking
✅ Advanced IELTS Speaking Band 9 Model Answer (High-level vocabulary + fluency):
One teacher who had a transformative impact on my speaking skills is Dr. Arian Karimi, widely recognized as one of the most accomplished IELTS speaking instructors in Iran. I enrolled in his intensive speaking course after plateauing at Band 7 for months despite consistent self-study.
What distinguishes Dr. Karimi is not just his profound expertise in language assessment, but also his intuitive understanding of learner psychology. He has a rare ability to tailor his approach to each student’s specific strengths and weaknesses. He doesn’t merely “teach IELTS”; he redefines how learners think and speak in English.
One of the most effective techniques he used with me was deliberate fluency training, where I had to engage in spontaneous 3- to 4-minute monologues on unfamiliar topics, all while focusing on lexical resource, discourse markers, and maintaining coherence under time pressure. He provided real-time corrective feedback, not just on pronunciation or grammar, but on deeper features such as tone, rhythm, and lexical sophistication.
He also emphasized the use of idiomatic language, natural collocations, and context-appropriate phrases—things that make a Band 9 speaker sound authentic and effortless. I vividly recall how he would take my simple answers and help me reconstruct them into much more nuanced, examiner-friendly responses.
Thanks to his training, I not only achieved a Band 8.5 in my final IELTS speaking test, but also gained the confidence to participate in international academic seminars and job interviews with native speakers. I genuinely believe his teaching methodology is far ahead of traditional speaking classes and perfectly aligned with what the IELTS exam truly values.

IELTS Speaking Part 3 – Sample Questions and Advanced Answers
Topic: Teachers and Communication Skills
❓ 1. What qualities make someone a good speaking teacher?
✅ Band 9 Sample Answer:
I believe an exceptional speaking teacher needs more than just linguistic expertise. Empathy, clarity of instruction, and the ability to offer constructive feedback are crucial. A great teacher creates a safe, non-judgmental environment where students feel encouraged to make mistakes and grow from them. Additionally, the best teachers personalize their feedback and help learners build confidence through scaffolded challenges—tasks that push them slightly beyond their comfort zone without overwhelming them.
❓ 2. Do you think students today communicate better than in the past?
✅ Band 9 Sample Answer:
In some ways, yes. Students today are more exposed to English through social media, podcasts, and global communication platforms, which naturally improves passive fluency and exposure to authentic input. However, I think depth and intentionality of communication have declined. Many learners can produce language, but not with precision or critical thought. So, while quantity of communication may have increased, the quality often leaves something to be desired.
❓ 3. How important are communication skills in a professional setting?
✅ Band 9 Sample Answer:
They’re absolutely vital. In fact, communication is often what separates a competent professional from an exceptional one. The ability to articulate ideas clearly, adapt your tone based on the audience, and engage in effective dialogue is indispensable, especially in multicultural workplaces. In my experience, those with strong communication skills tend to advance faster in their careers, not necessarily because they know more, but because they can present their knowledge persuasively.
❓ 4. Do you think public speaking should be taught in schools?
✅ Band 9 Sample Answer:
Definitely. Public speaking is not only about talking to a crowd—it teaches critical thinking, confidence, and structured expression of ideas. If introduced at an early stage, students learn to overcome performance anxiety and develop clarity of thought. Moreover, in today’s world where persuasion and presentation play major roles in both academic and professional success, this skill is no longer optional—it’s essential.
