with Tiffany I am teacher Tiffany and
today I am going to teach you how to
pass IELTS speaking part 1 are you ready
well then let’s jump right in the
speaking portion of the IELTS exam is
broken up into three parts and in total
lasts for 11 to 14 minutes the first
speaking part is the introduction and
interview the second speaking part is
the long turn and the third speaking
part is the discussion but for today’s
lesson we are going to look at the first
speaking part the introduction and
interview to start in order to do well
on the IELTS speaking part one you must
understand three aspects about this part
these aspects are the topics the purpose
and the time first the topics you will
be asked general questions about your
home your family your work your studies
and your interests second the purpose
speaking part one is important because
it is used to determine your ability to
explain information and your opinion
about everyday topics and third the time
this section of the exam lasts for four
to five minutes so you need to give a
good amount of information in a short
amount of time now let’s look at how you
can properly answer some of the topical
questions they will give you first let’s
look at some common questions about your
home the following three questions are
questions that are very often asked
during the ILS speaking part one of the
test number one what type of place is it
number two what was it like growing up
there and number three has it changed
since you were a child so let’s use
three pieces of information as a rule of
thumb for each answer or in other words
as a standard let’s start with number
one what type of place is it you’re
three pieces of information should be
location appearance and a unique quality
next number two what was it like growing
up there you’re three pieces of
information should be people friends and
an experience and finally number three
has it changed since you were a child
you’re three pieces of information
should be the first change the second
change and the third change so instead
of memorizing an answer for each of the
questions you should simply memorize the
three pieces of information now let’s
look at how to use these pieces of
information to actually answer the
questions the answer to number one
becomes my hometown is New York City it
is located on the East Coast in America
there are lots of beautiful buildings
and nice parks in New York City so you
can see people walking around everywhere
New York City is known as the city that
never sleeps
it is also famous for shopping and
delicious Street food
the answer to number two becomes it was
pretty fun growing up in New York City
because I could see people from all over
the world many of them were tourists
looking to buy nice bags I also had a
lot of friends and since it is a big
city it was easy for us to find things
to do I remember riding bikes together
all around the city in the summer time
and the answer to number 3 becomes yes
it has changed a lot first food costs a
lot more than it did when I was younger
second there is a lot more construction
going on so you don’t see kids playing
in the streets as much as you did in the
past
and third even more people are moving
there now so it is really an
international city second let’s look at
some common questions about your family
the following three questions are also
questions that are very often asked
during the I else speaking part one of
the test number one how many people are
there in your family
number two what things do you like doing
together and number three who is your
favorite family member now let’s
determine three pieces of information
for each answer let’s start with number
one how many people are there in your
family your three pieces of information
should be number who and order next
number two what things do you like doing
together your three pieces of
information should be first thing second
thing and third thing and finally number
three who is your favorite family member
your three pieces of information should
be the name reason one and reason to
some again instead of memorizing an
answer for each of the questions
should simply memorize the three pieces
of information now let’s look at how to
use these pieces of information to
actually answer the questions the answer
to number one becomes there are five
people in my family including me my
father my mother my two brothers and me
my brothers are both a lot older than me
but since I am the only girl they treat
me really well the answer to number two
becomes my family is very active so we
love sports and outdoor activities in
the summer we enjoy going on hikes
together in the winter we enjoy going
snowboarding and skiing together and all
throughout the year we play basketball
and soccer together and the answer to
number three becomes I love everyone in
my family but my favorite family member
is my older brother Brian he is an
amazing brother because growing up he
always played with me and took me places
with him now that we are adults
I love him even more because he spends
lots of time talking with me about life
ok perfect now let’s look at one more
topic to see how to properly answer the
questions the final topic that we will
look at today is work so let’s look at
some common questions about your work
number 1 what work do you do number 2
what do you enjoy most about your work
and number 3 what are your main duties
now let’s determine three pieces of
information for each answer let’s start
with number one what work do you do your
three pieces of information should be
job title company and duty next number
two what do you enjoy most about your
work your three pieces of information
should be one thing reason 1 and reason
2 and finally number 3 what are your
main duties your three pieces of
information should be Duty one duty two
and Duty three so as always remember not
to memorize your answer instead you
should simply memorize the three pieces
of information now let’s look at how to
use these pieces of information to
actually answer the questions the answer
to number one becomes currently I am a
computer engineer I work for a private
technology firm in New York my main job
is to manage the data base for our
company I also keep up with the latest
technology and make sure that we are on
target with the technology industry the
answer to number two becomes my favorite
thing about my job is actually my boss
he is an amazing person he gives all of
us the freedom to constantly improve our
skills by paying for any
self-development class we are interested
in also he takes the time to speak with
each of us individually every day and
the answer to number three becomes my
main duty is to manage the company
database but I also am in charge of
making sure our software infrastructure
is up to date so in order to do this
properly I must also attend and write
reports on tech conferences that happen
across America and that’s how you pass
