IELTS Speaking : Using 1 minute preparation time

2. Try to write at least one key idea for each part of the question.

3. Don't write sentences, and don't waste time erasing "mistakes".

4. Try to use a topic you have already prepared.

5. Write down topic based vocabulary of some similar topic that you might have practiced.

6. Try to write 2-3 keywords for explaining the last question.

7. Finally, fast preparation is a skill that you can practise. Why not train yourself by making notes for a few different questions every day?
