3. Give Examples
An example also plays a vital role to stretch the answers and also enhance your score but it is normally seen that the students don’t give any example in speaking test. Make habit to put an example in your speaking this will make your answer more effective.
4. Use phrases:
Many test takers use phrases like I am not sure about the topic, but I would say……
This is a difficult one; let me think for a second.
These types of phrases can be used to take some extra seconds to think on the subject but it should not be repeated again and again once or twice in the entire test is okay but not more than that.
5. Good Pace:
Maintain a good pace in the IELTS speaking test as it is normally seen that the students turns speedy in order to show their fluency but this is wrong. When your speed goes up the chances of wrong pronunciation also goes up. Moreover, you sound stereotype which is not good for your marks.
On the other hand, if you are too slow than the examiner will lose interest in your content. So you should maintain average speed, this will not only help you with your pronunciation but you will also get time to retain your ideas in the back of your mind.

You should have your own ideas and view for every question and it should not be copied from any source. Easy way to approach this method is just go with the idea which comes first in your mind after hearing the question. If you follow this you will get unique idea as well as lot of matter to speak.
Last but not the least practice a lot as practice makes a man perfect.
