How can I practice this season's IELTS Speaking Part 1 questions?

Treat the official sample questions published by IELTS as your fixed base and add your own prompts in the same familiar-topic families, because the official site offers sample material rather than the questions in use this month. Then work in short drills: pick four prompts, run the shape out loud, record, and only then write notes.

Keep two lists side by side: the topic families the test format names, and the real details you can attach to each one. Practise out loud rather than in writing, because only a recording shows whether three sentences arrive inside twenty seconds and whether the third sentence carries a detail you can extend. Change the order of your prompts each week so that you are practising the shape rather than a fixed script.
