How to frame a cue card?

For some students preparing for cue cards is a daunting task, and according to them, they
can’t speak on any random topic for one to two minutes. From the outside, it seems
challenging, but when you dig deep, you realize that it is not an uphill task.

The only issue which could make you miss the target is a lack of preparation. The students
must leave no stone unturned to prepare for speaking tasks with determination, dedication
and discipline. Their central focus should be on framing the correct answers for questions in
the guesswork. The probable list contains about 80-90 cue cards.

When students have enough ideas for 80-90 topics of cur card, then they can handle any
question with tremendous ease. There is no denying this conviction that practice is the key,
and by doing regular speaking drills, a learner can expect a paradigm shift in her/her
performance.

The best way to prepare for IELTS speaking is to work under the aegis of a seasoned
trainer. Many learners try to learn on their own: however, that is an imprudent approach

because students require the unabated support of teachers to correct their mistakes. In case
the help of a coach is not available, getting input from some senior who is good at the
English language is a worthwhile proposition.

Tips to crack IELTS Speaking with flying colours

1. Greet the examiner with a vibrant smile on your face. It is intuitively true that a
smile improves our face value. Moreover, it brings enthusiasm and an optimistic
attitude. The positivity we have is contagious, and we transfer it to whosoever we
meet. Therefore, it is vital to greet the examiner with a smiling face.

Wait for the examiner to tell you to sit. Waiting for the examiner to say you to seat
yourself is a prudent approach. Once the interviewer invites you, sit firmly and slide
back in the chair instead off resting on the edge.

Sit with a good posture and maintain eye to eye contact. There is no denying this
conviction that our body language plays a pivotal role in creating a good impression in
the interviewer’s mind. Therefore we need to be mindful of our posture, and we should
have proper eye to eye contact with the examiner. These small steps lead to a colossal
impact and help us get the desired score.

Speak naturally, and do not try a fake Kentucky accent. Speak naturally, and do
not try a fake Kentucky accent. A few students have this uncanny knack for using a
fake accent while taking their IELTS speaking test. They think that going beyond the
conventional domain would help them pass the interview with flying colours. To their
dismay, this is incorrect.

We should speak with our natural accent to create a good

impression in the examiner’s mind.

Do not give answers in plain yes or no. Leave no stone unturned to provide
lengthy answers. Most students tend to answer in plain yes or no. It seems easy but
an ineffective practice because it irritates the examiner. While replying, you need to
elaborate your stand, as it helps the interviewer to assess you properly.

Understand the questions before replying. It is worthwhile to listen to the question


attentively. Many students complain of getting low scores despite giving their best
performance. The prominent reason for this is improper task response.

You should pay heed to what the examiner asks and try to understand the question by
carefully listening to the words between the lines. A misunderstanding could make you give
a wrong reply which could directly affect your score.

For cue cards, make prudent use of the one minute available for the
preparation.

For preparation for the cue card topic, the examiner provides one minute to the students.
Making judicious use of that time is a must-have to score good marks. The best technique
the students can adopt is to draw a mind map.

Although the student has to keep eye-to-eye contact with the examiner, occasional glances
at the mind map are advisable. It helps the candidates to speak with the flow.

Do not stop in between the cue card. Wait for the examiner to stop you. In the
IELTS speaking test, you should have enough content to express your ideas. And when
you stop in between, you fail on task response, and the examiner can deduct marks for
this lapse. Therefore it is advisable to wait for the examiner to interrupt you.

Do not focus on what the examiner writes on his/her paper because that would
hamper your concentration. While taking your IELTS speaking test, your central
focus must be listening to the questions carefully and giving appropriate answers. The
examiners, in between, write your assessment in their papers. It would be best to
refrain from peeping into the examiner’s papers. That is often considered terrible
behaviour on your part.
Stay on the topic. Like the IELTS writing test, coherence and cohesion are significant
parameters in the speaking test. Therefore, it is imperative to stay on the topic:
however, there is no harm in giving a background story.
