Come back to our blog and have a conversation with us! http://allearsenglish.com/ielts-writing-time-strategy/ Also get our IELTS Cheat Sheet to find out what the Examiner wants on the Speaking test: http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation   Are you getting ready for your IELTS exam? One big challenge on the IELTS is timing on the Writing test. Today we’ll help you with a great time-management strategy. You have a total of 60 minutes to do the whole Writing test. Task 2 is 250 words and Task 1 is 150 words so you need to spend more time on Writing Task 2. We recommend 20 minutes for Task 1 and 40 minutes for Task 2. However, don’t start with Writing Task 2. Do Task 1 first. You also need to allow time for planning. It really depends on you and how you prefer to write but we recommend that you practice and see what’s right for you in terms of planning time. As a general guideline, you could spend 4 minutes planning and then spend a few minutes after to check your work. When you practice brainstorming and coming up with ideas in the planning step, don’t forget to write down everything you think of. In Task 2, spend 5 minutes planning, 30 minutes writing, 5 minutes to check. You need to practice the timing for all of these steps and adjust it based on what you need.   Practice is the key with time management. The biggest mistakes that people make with time management on IELTS Writing is when they skip both planning and checking at the end. When you check, look for spelling, grammar, vocabulary, etc. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to check your own IELTS Writing test.   What other questions do you have about IELTS Writing?

Did you know that being imaginative and creative can get you a 7 on the IELTS exam? This is especially true when it comes to the IELTS Speaking test. Your ideas don’t need to be 100% realistic. What’ more important is the way you deliver your ideas. You can make stuff up and have fun with it! Today we’ll show you how! What should you do when you get a Speaking question about the future and you don’t know how to answer the question? You need to open your mind and be willing to make up your own ideas quickly. In Part 3 of the Speaking test, they often ask you to guess or predict the future. For example, they might ask, “How might the way people travel change in the future?” With this question you need to make up a creative answer. A good response is this: “I predict that by 2025 we will all be riding in flying cars.” This is also useful because when you make up a funny idea, it makes you laugh, which makes you relax and makes you speak more like a real person. This will also help your vocabulary because you will end up using less common vocabulary when you make up ideas about the future. If you aren’t used to coming up with your own ideas or if you haven’t learned this in school you can train your mind to be creative. You already have the ability but you just need to practice it. Creativity is a muscle. Flex your imagination! Try this: Look at the news and look at the topics in the newspaper. Come up with a prediction for each article headline that you read. Predict what will happen with that specific topic in the future. Try to entertain the Examiner. The Examiner is going to give you your score right after Part 3 of the Speaking so it’s good to leave them on a funny and positive note because this could influence your overall Speaking score. If you are already a naturally funny person then you should amplify that in the Speaking test. Don’t be afraid of your own ideas and your own personality. If you are enjoying yourself during the test then your Examiner is probably having fun too. Do you have other questions about the Speaking test? Let us know in the comments below.
