  SPEAKING  

IELTS Speaking Part 1

2. What are some examples of good manners in your country?
3. Who taught you about manners?

Use phrasal verbs

These are common in informal speech and so they're ideal for part 1. For example, you could use "came over" instead of "visited me".

IELTS Speaking Part 2

Describe a polite person you know.


You should say:

  • who this person is

  • how you know this person

  • and why you think this person is polite

You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.

Use synonyms

Try to avoid repeating vocabulary. Even simple phrases like "I really like" can be varied, for example, "I enjoy" or even "I get a thrill out of".

1. Do you think people are more or less polite than in the past?
2. Should parents or schools teach children good manners?
3. How can parents encourage their kids to have better manners?
