  • Answer the exact question
  • Develop, but do not over-rehearse
  • Use natural personal examples
Learn Part 1
Part 23–4 minutes

Individual long turn

Use one minute to prepare, then organise your ideas and speak about the task-card topic at length.

  • Create a simple note map
  • Connect details into a clear story
  • Keep going for up to two minutes
Learn Part 2
Part 34–5 minutes

Two-way discussion

Explain opinions and discuss broader questions connected to the topic introduced in Part 2.

  • Make a clear main point
  • Support it with a reason
  • Compare, speculate and give examples

AI-assisted feedback

Review what you produced before you try again

Speaking feedback uses your transcript, while Writing feedback reviews the response you submit. Both are designed to help you find a focused improvement for the next attempt.

Feedback for productive skills

  • Review idea development and organisation
  • Notice vocabulary and grammar choices
  • Find repetition or unclear language
  • Plan a more focused second attempt

Practice feedback, not an official score

  • AI feedback is a self-study aid, not an examiner result

Frequently asked questions

Before you start practising

You can browse the available Speaking questions and Academic Writing tasks freely. After signing in, eligible learners can use the available AI feedback trial; the applicable limit is shown before submission.

You can practise Academic Writing Task 1 and Task 2 separately or complete both in one self-paced session. The timer counts elapsed practice time without a deadline or automatic submission, and optional AI-assisted feedback is available after submission.

The practice feedback considers task achievement or task response, coherence and cohesion, lexical resource, and grammatical range and accuracy. It is a self-study aid and not an official IELTS band score.

No. A useful sample demonstrates how an idea can be developed. Your own answer should sound natural and remain relevant to the exact question.

No. It supports repeated practice and language review, but it is not an official IELTS result or a substitute for a qualified teacher or examiner.
