How to improve IELTS Speaking from 6 to 7?

Oct 29, 2026
Short answer

Short answer: name the criterion whose wording you do not yet fit, then change one thing per recording.

Find the first criterion whose wording you do not yet fit, and work on that one alone. In the transcripts on this page the entry point was fluency and coherence: the story was already there, but repetition and self-correction kept interrupting it. Practise the same answer until your discourse markers carry the argument instead of a chain of and, then replace two general phrases with idiomatic ones and re-record the same cue card a day later to hear whether the change survived.
