IELTS Speaking · Part 1
Banque de questions IELTS Speaking Part 1
Les thèmes habituels que les examinateurs utilisent réellement, et comment développer une réponse sans la noyer dans du remplissage.
Comment fonctionne le Part 1 : La première section dure environ quatre à cinq minutes. L'examinateur vous demande votre nom, puis pose de courtes questions sur des sujets familiers — travail, ville natale, loisirs. Cette partie est conçue pour vous mettre à l'aise et évaluer votre anglais du quotidien.
Vous trouverez ci-dessous 12 thèmes et 48 questions issues de la banque d'examens TalkSmart, correspondant au style des vraies questions du test.
Le problème des réponses trop courtes
Le plus grand piège du Part 1 est de répondre trop brièvement. « Yes, I do » est techniquement correct, mais ne donne à l'examinateur rien à évaluer. La formule est simple : réponse + raison + exemple.
- ❌ "Yes, I like music."
- ✅ "Yes, especially older rock. I usually put it on while I'm cooking — it makes the whole thing feel less like a chore."
La deuxième réponse n'est pas trois fois plus longue, mais elle contient une raison et une mise en situation concrète. C'est précisément ce que l'examinateur souhaite entendre.
