Как связаны Part 1, 2 и 3
Speaking длится 11–14 минут, лицом к лицу с экзаменатором. Part 1: короткие вопросы о вас и знакомых темах. Part 2: карточка, минута на подготовку и до двух минут монолога. Part 3: обсуждение, которое выводит тему карточки на более широкий и абстрактный уровень.
Поэтому карточка и Part 3 идут вместе. Если в карточке учитель, который на вас повлиял, ждите в Part 3 вопросов об образовании и о том, каким должен быть хороший учитель.
Как тренироваться с таймером
За минуту выберите, о чём говорить, и запишите два-три слова на каждый пункт. После сигнала говорите до второго сигнала, даже если идеи кончились: объясните почему, приведите пример, сравните «тогда» и «сейчас».
Запишите себя и послушайте, где длинные паузы, повторы и момент, когда стало нечего сказать. Ответьте на вопросы Part 3 и только потом читайте ответ на band 8.
Каждая часть по шагам разобрана в наших гайдах:
Частые вопросы
Какие темы бывают на IELTS Speaking?
В Part 1 спрашивают о привычном: работа или учёба, дом, распорядок дня, еда, свободное время, технологии. Карточки Part 2 просят описать человека, место, предмет, событие, случай из жизни или план. Part 3 обсуждает тему карточки шире.
Темы меняются в течение года, но эти группы остаются, поэтому несколько карточек из каждой группы готовят почти к любой карточке на экзамене.
Какие 42 темы бывают в IELTS Speaking Part 1?
Официального списка из 42 тем нет. Такие списки собирают темы, о которых часто сообщают кандидаты. Экзаменатор всегда начинает с работы или учёбы либо с дома, затем спрашивает о двух-трёх бытовых темах. Темы Part 1 собраны выше по алфавиту.
IELTS Speaking в 2026 году стал сложнее?
Нет. Формат, тайминг и критерии оценки те же: беглость и связность, словарный запас, грамматика и произношение, каждый критерий даёт четверть балла. Меняются только темы, их обновляют в январе, мае и сентябре.
Это настоящие вопросы с экзамена IELTS?
Нет. Настоящие вопросы конфиденциальны. Это темы, о которых часто сообщают кандидаты, написанные нашими словами в формате экзамена.
Сколько говорить в IELTS Speaking Part 2?
До двух минут. Экзаменатор остановит вас на двух минутах, так что старайтесь всё ещё говорить к этому моменту. Меньше полутора минут обычно стоит баллов за беглость: это выглядит так, будто вы не смогли развить тему.
Можно ли пользоваться заметками в Part 2?
Да. На минуту подготовки дают бумагу и карандаш, и во время ответа можно смотреть в заметки. Пишите только ключевые слова: на целые предложения не хватит времени.
