First tip, make sure your speech always has a really great structure.

That means make sure you have a beginning, middle, and end.

Second tip, make your speech exciting and engaging, and interesting for the examiner.

What does that mean?

You need to describe what you hear, what you see, what you smell, and what you can taste, and you guessed it, what you can touch.

Use all the five senses in your speeches to make them come to life, to make your English lively and exciting, and interesting, so you can get a really top mark.

Last tip.

What you need is to be slow.

Slow down! Don't say, "um, and."

Say useful phrases like, "to tell you the truth," "well... in my opinion" and so on.

It will really help you.

I hope these IELTS tips will get you a great mark.
