This is one of the best videos for IELTS/general speaking skills I’ve seen. And I think I’ve never said this to any Youtuber 😝 And I’ve been teaching IELTS for 16 years❤️

[mynameis]

04:28 Yess, yesss, I knew it, I knew that tips and tricks for "losers" :D IELTS is a proficiency test.
I am glad that I hear it from you 👍🏻

[humairahafsa]

Indeed, vocabulary is everything when you're learning a foreign language! My French professor also taught me the same!!!

[steveroger]

I agree with tip number 1: "Band 9 students realize IELTS is not really about tips and tricks" because it totally depends on the way the candidates use their language to explain a couple of things in the real-life as well as some professional major.

Tip no 1 :: So very true... English has always been my strength and I got a band 7 in my first attempt.. Without knowing actual exam techniques.. As I kept going I improved with self practice and amazing content from Keith... Reached a band 8...and here I am today... Listening to yet another amazing video and will push myself to get a band 9 in my next Thanks Keith you rock🤘

So the language learning curve shows that I haven't hit the glass ceiling. It's just too slow. I've been learning and forgetting English for decades, and I hope my forgetting won't be faster than my learning.

[nazila]

I totally agree with the ''Chunking'' part. It's very helpful 💜

[DrSharifulHalim]

Just got my results. 8.5 in speaking following your udemy courses (8.5 overall)! It was beyond my expectation. All credits go to you. You are by far the best online IELTS educator out there!

[ouhsaine]

I took the IELTS test two years ago and got 7 in speaking, but I believe that I could've got a better band than that. I reckon that the reason why I didn't get my desired band was that I didn't have sufficient background about law which was the main topic in the second and third part of my speaking test. So, yes I think training yourself to make up stories, being prepared to get hit with strange questions and getting familiar with all the possible topics that you might get on the day of the exam are essential skills that one should develop if they want to get 7 or more.

[gabriellazanellato]

You are not only an outstanding english teacher, you are an amazing caricature

[fathimajabeen]

Practicing making stories and recording themselves is really going to help language students, especially the ones with no coach other than themselves..like me....and i do agree with all the points you said...

[mamurolimov]

when my mind got bombarded with false information about how a band 9 score should be that given by some YouTube teachers, you've taught me the true meaning behind a band 9. Thanks for your dedication and efforts, Keith!

[aishwaryapala]

My confidence level has increased by watching your videos. Thank you

[himanshusheth]

2) I am entrepreneur by profession.I am in to textile manufacturing and trading.


Please do reply

[peteroseiatuahene]

I really agree with #4 thus chunk. Most of my friends who pass the speaking test do chunk.

[natashaorlova]

I'm really sad because I found your channel only 2 days before the IELTS test... Your videos are very helpful, I'm very impressed. I'll try to learn as much as possible from your videos. Thank you very much!

[MukeshVerma-jedj]

I agree with all the tips, but the tip i agreed with the most is that IELTS is not just about tips and tricks.It's about learning a new language and making up stories and expressing your feelings while speaking.I love the way you make study hipppy and jolly!

[curiousboyismoilov]

I think the most funniest and interesting part was about the difference between notorious and famous 🤣

[daisy-thuha]

Hi Keith, I'm Daisy. I have been following you on youtube and found your videos are very helpful. I also believe that IELTS speaking test is more about a real speaking but not a test.

[saritaale]

Worthy lesson. I've been practicing since March, I guess now I'm near to my mission.
Thank you Keith, you're amazing ❤🤘
