The IELTS Speaking Test
Introduction
There are many common topics that come up regularly
in the IELTS Speaking test. You can’t know what you’ll get in your test but
it’s still a good idea to learn vocabulary related to popular subjects.
To save you time, I’ve created word lists to make it quick and easy for you to practice using the vocabulary, which will also help you to learn it. Each topic list contains IELTS-style practice Speaking questions with model answers.
Here is the current list of topics. I’ll add more as I create them. Just click the image to go straight to that topic page.
