In the IELTS Speaking Test, there are four (4) key areas that you will be assessed:

1. Pronunciation
2. Grammar range and accuracy
3. Fluency
4. Suitable vocabulary

Listen to part of an IELTS speaking test and decide which one (1) of the key areas (above) is the problem.

Once you have decided, click below to check your answer.




The problem is 'suitable vocabulary'. The vocabulary is too basic. To score high, you should try to explain yourself fully with appropriate, suitable words.  Fluency is quite poor, too!
