Now (student) I can see here that you booked an IELTS class
today right?
May I know why did you book an IELTS class with me? (Student
answers)
So if you have plans of taking the IELTS test, when do you plan
to take it?
And what is your Target score? Student answers
Ok, so don’t worry we will work together so we can achieve
that target score
Ok, we will be having a simulation of the IELTS speaking test later but
before we do that let me set your expectations first,
For the next 12 to 15 minutes I will not be your teacher but I will play
the role of an IELTS examiner. I will not help you, correct you or guide
you. I will just ask the questions and you have to remember to give
your answers and the reason behind it for parts 1 and 3, for part 2
make sure that you maximize the two minute mark. Also, once we start
the simulation I will turn off my camera so you can focus on your
answers. Once we're done, I will turn it back on and I will give you my
feedback, corrections and suggestions,
Is that clear?? (if the student says yes, or they don’t have any question)
Ok so let me turn off my camera so we can start the simulation
(Camera should be off already)
Part 1: Script
Part 2: Script
That's the end of part 1. Now, we're going to start part two. I'm going

prepare your answer and you may take notes if you wish. I'll tell you
when you’re one minute preparation is up and then you can speak for
1-2 minutes.
Here’s the card. (Send the screenshot)

BAND DESCRIPTORS
* Let me make your explanation easier, and sounding more natural
* Please read this first, you may add some if you feel like it
* NO NEED to copy-paste the definition of each band descriptors, what
you just need to write is shown there already
Band 4 and 5 - PASTE THIS ONE ON CHAT BOX --- I gave you this score
because you were not able to think of the correct grammar or
vocabulary to explain yourself. This will certainly leads to 'slow speech
and repetition’.
- NOW PASTE THIS ONE ON CHAT BOX --- (record yourself once focusing
on grammar and vocabulary and then again talking about the same
thing but not worrying about making mistakes. )
- ADDITIONAL COMMENT;DO NOT PASTE THIS ON THE CHAT BOX,
MAKE SURE TO SOUND NATURAL--- (You should do this regularly when
reviewing what you have studied that day. Practice talking at a normal
speed without thinking about making grammar mistakes and your
fluency will gradually improve your speaking skills)
Band 6 - PASTE THIS ONE ON CHAT BOX --- I gave you this score
because you used some discourse markers inappropriately, this will
actually lower your marks and do more harm than good. Aside from
that, you lose coherence at times that leads to some self-correction and
repetition.
Band 4 and 5 - I gave you this score because you were struggling to talk
about a range of topics since you don’t have enough vocabulary. You
only used words with ‘limited flexibility’.
Band 6 - I gave you this score because, you have enough vocabulary to
talk about most common topics but you have some ‘inappropriacies’.
This means that you can make your meaning clear by using relevant
vocabulary but you made occasional mistakes.
- SAY THIS AFTER PASTING THE FEEDBACK FOR BAND 6: (So if you like to
work on that part, here is what you can do: )
Band 7 - I gave you this score because you have a wide range of
vocabulary and can talk clearly about nearly all common topics. Aside
from that, you can also use some idioms, when appropriate, and can
also use collocations correctly, however some small mistakes are still
observed.
Band 4 and 5 - I gave you this score because your answers normally
consists with simple sentences that are relatively error free; however
you made frequent mistakes when attempting more complex
sentences.
Band 7 - I gave you this score because your answers uses a variety of
complex structures and more than 50% of sentences have no errors at
all. There are still some grammar mistakes but these tend to be minor.
> PRONUNCIATION - So this is where we check if you can pronounce
the word correctly. Your ability to use intonation like the rise and fall of
the voice while you speak
Band 4 and 5 - I gave you this score because you mispronounced words
frequently and this gave me difficulty in understanding your answers.
Band 6 - I gave you this score because you generally be understood but
there are times that me, as your examiner finds it difficult to
understand what is being said because of pronunciation errors.
- JUST READ THIS -- (in order for you to improve at this part, )
- PASTE THIS ON CHATBOX-- put some stress or intonation for the most
important word/s in the sentence so it will sound better. If you do not
apply proper intonation, your answers will be weak
Band 7 - I gave you this score because there were minor problems for
pronunciation and intonation, but words are clearer and easier to
understand throughout the exam .
PLEASE DON’T SOUND LIKE YOU ARE READING IT, HENCE, TRY
TO SOUND MORE NATURAL, BE A GOOD ACTOR OR ACTRESS!!!
