Take notes!<br/><br/>Also, taking notes and thinking about your answer will help you to give a more coherent, organized response, which increases your IELTS Speaking score!<br/><br/>Not having answers to questions about books/museums/music.<br/>The cultures in the Middle East, of course, are very different to the cultures in most English-speaking countries. That means you have to start preparing now for these common IELTS Speaking questions!<br/><br/>Start reading books in English, go to a museum, and find some music to enjoy (as long as it still follows your cultural/religious rules.) <br/><br/>These are all very common IELTS Speaking topics! Prepare!<br/>Giving answers that are too informal.<br/>Although the answers are informal, your answers must still be complete and appropriate!<br/><br/>Saying uh...uh.. uh…<br/>My Middle Eastern students are some of the most fluent-sounding students at every level. However this fluency seems to go out the window on test day sometimes.<br/><br/></span>\n</div>\n<div class='action-container flex justify-between'>\n<button aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description' class='rp-full-description' type='button'>\n<i class='fai fa-solid fa-align-left'></i>\n<span id='read_more'>Read More</span>\n</button>\n<div class='rp-report'>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div aria-labelledby='resource-details-heading' class='rp-info-section'>\n<h2 class='title' id='resource-details-heading'>Resource Details</h2>\n<div class='rp-resource-details clearfix'>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Curator Rating</dt>\n<dd><span class=\"star-rating\" aria-label=\"4.0 out of 5 stars\" role=\"img\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i></span></dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt class=\"educator-rating-title\">Educator Rating</dt><dd><div class=\"educator-rating-details\" data-path=\"/educator_ratings/rrp_data?resourceable_id=175209&amp;resourceable_type=Boclips%3A%3AVideoMetadata\"><span class=\"not-yet-rated\">Not yet Rated</span></div></dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Media Length</dt>\n<dd>6:52</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Grade</dt><dd title=\"Grade\">9th - Higher Ed</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Subjects</dt><dd><span><a href=\"/search?keywords=thirteen+colonies+map+quiz&amp;search_tab_id=1&amp;subject_ids%5B%5D=358379\">Social Studies &amp; History</a></span></dd><dd class=\"text-muted\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-lock mr5\"></i>4 more...</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Media Type</dt><dd><span><a href=\"/search?keywords=thirteen+colonies+map+quiz&amp;search_tab_id=2&amp;type_ids%5B%5D=4543647\">Instructional Videos</a></span></dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Source:</dt>\n<div class='preview-source' data-animation='true' data-boundary='.rp-info' data-container='.rp-resource-details' data-html='false' data-title='The IELTS Energy and All Ears English podcasts have over 77 million downloads worldwide, and IELTS Energy is ranked in the top 20 for Language Learning podcasts in Brazil.
