Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

Speaking: audience observer

During the shortened Speaking demonstration, observe how the candidate communicates. Tick the behaviours you notice. This is an educational checklist, not a band-score calculator.

Listen respectfully. Focus on specific examples. Do not judge the speaker’s accent or estimate an official band from a shortened mock.
What did the speaker do effectively?

Only you can see this note on your phone. Nothing is sent to the presenter.

Workshop activities are shortened demonstrations, not full IELTS tests. No personal data is requested, uploaded or shared by this application.
