IELTS Speaking Part 2 : Technique to answer Cue Card

One of the major problem students face is answering Cue Card of IELTS Speaking Part 2. The problems they face are

• Lack of ideas

• Not enough content

• Not able to speak for minimum 1 minute

• No fluency and Coherence

I suggest the following technique to my students to handle cue card.

• For the first 3 questions of cue card, speak at least 2-3 sentences for each question

• By speaking in this way, you will automatically cover 40-45 seconds

• Speak at least 6-7 sentences for the last question

• You can cover 40-45 seconds for the last question by this

If you practice cue card using this technique, it is easy to cover more than 1 minute of speaking and you will have ideas too. This will also help to maintain coherence along with having enough content for speaking. Utilize the 1 minute cue card planning time, which is given before you start speaking, to write keywords for each question so that you remember what to speak.
