The IELTS Speaking Part 3 is mostly the longest part of the IELTS speaking exam, and here in this blog, you will find some techniques, examples and suggestions to excel in the Speaking test. Notice that if you follow a format to express, you can organize your thoughts properly.
IELTS has four components on which a candidate is marked: Writing, Listening, Reading and Speaking. The IELTS speaking consists of an 11 to 20-minute long interview, and this interview is divided into three sections, and this format is standard for Academic and General IELTS speaking.
The three sections of IELTS speaking part 3
PART 1: This part contains a bunch of general/ introductory questions to be answered in at least two sentences each.
PART 2: The second part is an extempore where you will get a topic to prepare, and the preparation time is one minute, whereas the speaking time is about 2 minutes.
PART 3: The final part of the test or the follow-up questions are entirely based on the topic you get in the second part. It takes about 4-5 minutes to have a two-way conversation with the examiner for IELTS Speaking Part 3.
In this article, you will come across ways to tackle questions in the third part of the interview, along with some examples to help you understand the format.

In the third section, you will have a lengthy discussion with an examiner for roughly 4-5 minutes, during which you will be questioned on a broader range of subjects related to those covered in part 2. The examiner will carefully evaluate your capacity for logical thought, articulation, and speaking.
1. You must appear interested and listen to the questions carefully before answering them: Sit straight and be attentive.
2. Each answer must have a clear motive and opinion if the question is opinion-based: Usually, questions are opinion based, and there are no extra marks for having a balanced opinion; therefore, justify and elaborate upon one side properly.
3. You should elaborate on these answers, so use examples wherever possible: Examples can help you elaborate in detail. Moreover, examples can be beneficial if you have limited reasons to justify.
4. Appropriate vocabulary that is topic-specific should be used: Each question's topic or theme will have a different set of words that you can use. For example, if the topic is business-related, then words like inflation, profit and loss should be used, which are directly related to the topic.
5. Base your practice on as many topics as you can cover before the final test: Each day, take up a new theme or topic and work on justifications, vocabulary and examples for the same.
Try to use the following as your format for each answer
