Do you know how to come up with this necessary information? These are ideas the examiner must hear to give you a high score.

First of all, you should know the overall organization for Speaking Part 3 answers. The goal of this strategy is to stay on topic, not repeat yourself, and communicate clearly. All three of those characteristics factor into your score.

In order to secure that 7 or higher (hopefully higher!), one of the main skills the examiner listens for is that you provide strong, specific support.

You can follow these steps in your Part 3 preparation:

  1. Look at example IELTS Speaking Part 3 questions.
  2. Write down your opinion in one sentence.
  3. Take notes on all the details and examples you can provide to support, or prove, your opinion.

When you brainstorm, try to answer questions beginning with: who, what, where, when, why and how.

For example:

Opinion:

In this modern age, with the proliferation of technology and it’s increasing validity in the role of a reliable information resource, I think that students can indeed rely solely on computers, or, rather, the internet. 

Support brainstorm:

academics and experts all write online these days, don’t need to find them in textbooks, like Neil Degrasse Tyson

science classes from biology to astronomy free on sites, MIT open courses

info. for every level, interest, 24-7 online, from bedroom or Starbucks
