Today I’ll talk about how to get back on track in IELTS Speaking Part 3.
In IELTS Speaking Part 3, it can be easy to get lost.
Perhaps you are nervous, and just can’t seem to focus or organize your answer. Sometimes, it seems you do not know how to end your answer, and you begin to repeat yourself or wander off topic.
This can be detrimental for your Fluency and Coherence score. So, how can you refocus in front of the examiner?
First of all, stop and take a breath. If you’re repeating, or wandering, just stop talking. This only takes a second, and it is a natural communication strategy, utilized by native speakers as well when communication turns toward incoherency.
Communicate to the examiner what is happening. Narrating the thoughts or feelings clearly and explicitly is fluent and coherent!
Naming the trouble relaxes not only you, but the examiner as well.
