Speaking module in IELTS is a module about which the

student does not have con:dence. The main reason
behind it is that many students afraid about which kind of
question the examiner can ask from them. This is why
they :nd it diAcult to do this because they need to think
about the answer for a while and in the middle of the
answer they do not have time to think. Also, a big pause in
your answer can be the reason for your score deduction.
So, it’s better to think about your answer :rst that you can
:nish in 2 minutes. For this, you need to practice well.
