ALL ABOUT SPEAKING
Speculating and talking about the future.
In Parts 2 and 3 of the IELTS Speaking test, the examiner might ask you to talk about the future and express possibilities. Speculating (talking about something you're not certain about), is a technique that you can also use when you have no experience or no views on a topic. Let's look at some of the phrases you can use to speculate and talk about the future: • l'd say.. •I guess. • Perhaps / Maybe. • It's possible.. • I would imagine that..
Agreeing and disagreeing
In Part 3 of the Speaking test, you'll be encouraged to discuss the topic from Part 2 more fully. This is where you might be asked to agree or disagree on a statement. Take this opportunity to demonstrate the variety and control of language within a two-way discussion. For this, you can use phrases such as the following:
Agreeing • Yes, absolutely... • You're absolutely right... • No doubt about it... • You have a point there...
Disagreeing • I'm afraid I disagree... • That's not always the case... • I don't think so...
