IELTS Speaking Part 1 question bank
試験官が実際に使う定番トピックと、内容を薄めることなく回答を膨らませる方法を解説します。
Part 1の進め方: 最初のセクションで、所要時間は約4〜5分です。試験官がまず名前を確認し、その後、仕事・出身地・趣味などの身近なテーマについて短い質問をします。リラックスして臨めるよう設計されており、日常的な英語力を測ることを目的としています。
以下は、TalkSmartの試験問題バンクから厳選した12のトピックと48問です。本番の試験に近い出題スタイルになっています。
一言回答という落とし穴
Part 1でスコアを下げる最大の原因は、回答が短すぎることです。「Yes, I do」は文法的に正しくても、試験官が評価できる材料がありません。基本の公式はシンプルです:答え+理由+具体例。
- ❌ "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."
2つ目の回答は3倍も長いわけではありませんが、理由と具体的な場面が含まれています。試験官が求めているのは、まさにそういった回答です。
