IELTS Speaking Part One

نصائح لإجتياز المهمة الأولى لاختبار التحدث في الأيلتس بنجاح: 

1)      حافظ على هدوئك، كن واثق بنفسك وحافظ على التواصل البصري بينك وبين الممتحن

2)      لا تتحدث بأسلوب رتيب وخالي من الحماسة

3)      حاول ألا تستخدم كلمات بسيطة جداً لا تعطي معنى كأن تقول:
I like football because it is good.

You can say:
                                      I like football because it’s full of excitement.

4)      عندما يوجه إليك سؤال حاول أن تظهر قدراتك في اللغة الإنجليزية من خلال إعطاء إجابات كاملة – إبتعد عن الإجابات المختصرة
مثال:
What’s your favourite hobby?  
I enjoy running (Don't stop there!) because I like getting outdoors and enjoy fresh air.
