Answer each question as accurately and as quickly as possible. If a question proves to be too difficult, leave it and come back to it later.
Tip 1 - Speaking
During the speaking part of the IELTS test, look at the examiner and project your voice.
Speak clearly and try to give extended answers.
For example: Examiner: What did you do last weekend?
Student : I went shopping.
This is not a very good answer.
The example below is much better.
Examiner: What did you do last weekend?
Student : Last weekend I went shopping for clothes with my
  best friend.
We both bought some jeans and I also purchased
a pair of black gloves.
