Under IELTS Speaking, the examiner tests your communication skills and how well you pronounce words related to everyday topics. This is done by answering various questions and speaking words in a limited amount of time. When speaking words make sure you maintain that fluency and do not lag too much. For example – if any word is coming after 3-4 seconds and you take pauses while speaking, your fluency is interrupted. Make sure your vocabulary is passive and not active.
