IELTS Speaking: what's most important? 
Here are some factors that might affect your speaking score: 

fluency, not hesitating too much 

linking 

answer structure / organisation 

ideas 

vocabulary 

grammar 

pronunciation 
But which of these factors are most important? I'll give you my answer in a free video lesson that I'll 
publish this weekend. 
Tip:
I'm going to suggest that you focus on a 
different
factor (from the list above) in each of the 3 
parts of the speaking test.

IELTS Speaking: main tip for 3 parts

that I shared last week, here's my main 
tip for each of the 3 parts in the speaking test: 
Part 1
Focus on 
fluency
. You don't need to show off with great vocabulary or grammar in this part. Just try 
to answer quickly, without hesitating. A short, simple answer is fine.

Part 2
Focus on 
ideas / vocabulary
. This is your best chance to impress the examiner with some nice 
language, especially if you've prepared for common topics in the way I suggest in my video lessons. 
Part 3
Focus on your
