What should I do if I suddenly "get stuck" while talking in the IELTS Speaking test?

It's normal for the IELTS Speaking test to encounter situations where you don't have a clear idea, and it's something that everyone can experience. The Speaking test focuses more on fluency and expressive skills than on particularly esoteric content. If you encounter a situation where your thinking is uncomfortable in the exam room, you need to stay calm, try your best to express your thoughts, and believe in your own abilities.

If you suddenly feel that your spoken language is "stuck", you can consider the following methods to administer first aid to the candidate.

01Expand through keywords

If there are one or two keywords in the question, try to use those keywords to develop ideas or experiences that are relevant to them. Keywords can be places, people, events, and so on. 02Expand related topics

If the current problem is struggling with you, try to relate it to some related topics and stretch it out. This makes it easier to find new perspectives and information. 03Use transitional language

As you think about the next sentence, you can use transitional language such as "Another important point is...", or "Also, I want to mention...", which can help you not appear silent when you think. 04 Give an example

You can share some personal experiences or opinions as examples, so that the answers are more truthful and easier for you to find topics. Think of interesting or unique experiences around your life, whether it's travel, study, work, or other aspects of personal growth, and sharing these experiences can make your answers more specific and vivid, and will also help you feel "stuck". 05 Comparison of views

Examinees can also consider different aspects of a question, list the pros and cons of the arguments, and then choose one of the aspects to elaborate on, so that the contrasting answers will appear richer and more in-depth. 06Flexible use of templates

Prepare a template for answering some common questions in advance, and then modify them slightly according to the questions. In this way, you can use it flexibly in different situations and reduce your thinking burden.

07Interact with the examiner

If you feel lost in the questions, try interacting with the examiner to find new ideas and then develop them gradually. In addition, it is recommended that test takers practice speaking more before the exam, especially with other candidates. This can help you better adapt to the speaking environment and improve your mental agility.

The IELTS Speaking test focuses on fluency and presentation rather than particularly esoteric content, so relax and try to express your opinions in simple and clear language, which makes it easier to make a positive impression on the examiner!
