IELTS Weather Vocabulary

In the IELTS Speaking exam you may be asked questions about the topic of ‘the weather’, perhaps the weather in your country or when you’ve travelled to other countries. Read the following IELTS-style questions and answers below and pay attention to the phrases in bold. Use the ‘Definitions’ section at the bottom of the page to check the meaning of any phrases you don’t understand.

Part 1-style questions

Examiner: What’s the weather like in your country?
Katie: It’s quite changeable really … we have periods of time with clear blue skies then all of a sudden we’ll have torrential rain.

Examiner: Which months have the best weather in your country?
Ernst: Well … I suppose it’s a matter of personal taste really … I like it around the end of October and November … I’m not fond of the heatwaves we often get during the summer … it’s not freezing cold during these months and we still get lots of sunny spells.

Examiner: Does it bother you much when it rains?
Junko: It depends … if I get caught in the rain and I get drenched I don’t like it … but I’m a gardener so a drop of rain is good for my plants.

Part 2-style task

Describe a time when you experienced extreme weather conditions. You should say

  • when this was
  • where you were
  • what the weather was like

and say how you felt about the experience.

I was studying English in a language school a few years ago … we were in Cornwall in the UK … we’d been enjoying lovely sunny days … not a cloud in the sky … when all of a sudden there was a change in the weather … we were in town walking around the shops when it started to pour down … I’d never seen such heavy rain before … within about 10 minutes the roads were full of water … I think they call it a flash flood … it was like being in the middle of a tropical storm … the water was almost up to my knees … the weather forecast hadn’t predicted it so everyone was taken by surprise … I’m not sure you could call it ‘extreme’ weather as a few hours later it started to clear up … the sun came out and slowly the water level went down … but a lot of people’s houses were flooded so it would have been extreme for them … I found it all quite exciting … in my country we generally have a very mild climate and don’t often get floods like this so it was quite an experience for me.

Part 3-style questions

Examiner:  Do you think the weather affects how people feel?
Tierre: Absolutely … yes … I don’t mind the occasional cold spell but I think the winter months can make you feel down. I hate having to leave the house in the winter … there’s often a thick fog every morning and we sometimes get bitterly cold winds … the winter certainly makes me feel a little depressed … though having said that … it’s always nice to see the town covered in a blanket of snow.

Examiner: Do you think the weather is changing due to global warming?
Ceri: I don’t know if it’s due to global warming or not but the weather in my country is certainly changing … we’ve been getting quite mild winters lately … the temperatures are sometimes below freezing but only occasionally … and then during the summer it can get boiling hot with a lot of older people even suffering from heatstroke.

Examiner: In which ways are weather forecasts useful?
Sinita: Well … if you’re planning a trip or going on holiday it’s important to know whether you’ll need to dress up warm or take an umbrella … farmers need to know what the long-range forecast is so they can plan their work … I suppose people who organizeoutside events need to know as well in case things get rained off.

تکنیک های کاربردی در آزمون آیلتس – شماره ۱

تکنیک های فراوانی برای هر بخش از آزمون آیلتس وجود دارند که با آموختن آن ها می توانید نمرات بهتری را دریافت نمایید. از این پس، در مجموعه پست های “تکنیک های کاربردی در آزمون آیلتس” مفیدترین تکنیک ها برای موفقیت در این آزمون را به شما عزیزان معرفی می نماییم.

“دقیقه طلایی” ابتدای آزمون Listening

هنگامی که سوالات بخش Listening در اختیار شما قرار می گیرد، حدود ۶۰ ثانیه طول می کشد که آزمون حقیقتا شروع شود. ابتدا یک مثال برای شما از بلندگو پخش می شود تا با نحوه پاسخ دادن به سوالات این بخش بیشتر آشنا شوید (لازم به ذکر است که این مثال تنها در آغاز بخش/Section اول آزمون پخش می شود. این متن بعد از شروع رسمی امتحان دوباره در متن مکالمه قرار می گیرد). با توجه به اینکه با نحوه ی شرکت در آزمون آشنا هستید، در این مدت زمان تا آنجا که می توانید سوالات را پیشاپیش بخوانید و با موضوع Section های مختلف آزمون Listening ‌و اینکه چه چیزهایی مورد سوال است آشنا شوید. در حقیقت یکی از علت های اصلی از دست دادن پاسخ ها، آماده نبودن برای دریافت پاسخ آنهاست و این پیش آمادگی می تواند حتی تا ۱ نمره باعث افزایش امتیاز شما شود.

چرا نمره Speaking من این قدر پایین شده است؟

یکی از سوالاتی که در ذهن بسیاری از زبان آموزان پس از آمدن نتایج آزمون IELTS نقش می بندد این است که چرا نمره Speaking من این قدر پایین شده است، در حالی که من از کلمات خوبی مثل Collocation ها در امتحان استفاده کرده ام. دلیل اصلی پایین بودن نمره Speaking این زبان آموزان این است که فکر می کنند تنها مبنای سنجش امتحان Speaking، دایره لغات یا Lexical Resources می باشد. این در حالی است که مبنای سنجش در امتحان Speaking چهار معیار زیر می باشند:

LR: Lexical Resources دایره لغات

GRA: Grammatical Range and Accuracy: دامنه گرامری به کار رفته در جملات و میزان درست بودن آنها از لحاظ گرامری

FC: Fluency and Coherence به هم پیوستگی بین جملات، چگونگی ارتباط بین آنها و منطقی بودن جملات

Pronunciation: تلفظ صحیح کلمات، Intonation و Chunking

هر کدام از معیار های بالا از ۰ تا ۹ نمره دهی می شوند و مجموع آنها بر ۴ تقسیم شده و به نزدیک ترین ۰٫۵ Round می گردند.

در رایتینگ overview را بعد از مقدمه بنویسیم یا در انتها؟

در رایتینگ تسک اول آکادمیک، پاراگراف overview را بعد از پاراگراف مقدمه بنویسیم یا در انتها؟

هر دو جا درست است و تاثیری در نمره شما نخواهد داشت. البته توصیه میکنیم به این دو دلیل، پاراگراف overview بعد از مقدمه نوشته شود.

اول اینکه با توجه به سیر منطقی بیان تغییرات، پیدا کردن این پاراگراف راحت تر خواهد بود.

دوم اینکه به دلیل اولویت داشتن این پاراگراف به لحاظ اهمیت نمره، بهتر است آن را زودتر بنویسیم تا در لحاظات پایانی رایتینگ این پاراگراف مهم را با عجله ننویسیم.

Fluency چیست؟برای تقویت آن چکار باید کرد؟قسمت۲

Trying to Speak Too Quickly

As we mentioned in our previous lesson, students with good fluency speak smoothly, not quickly. It is a common misconception that good fluency means very rapid speech.

If you listen to how native English speakers talk, they do not normally speak very quickly. Listen to native speakers on the radio, news or movies and this will give you a good idea about how quickly they speak.

Trying to speak too quickly in any language will cause a loss of coherence because your brain simply can’t keep up with your mouth. Combine this with speaking in a second language under exam conditions and the result is going to be a loss of coherence and lots of mistakes.

Solution– Focus on speaking calmly and smoothly. Listen to native speakers and try to copy their pace of speech.

This will not only help your fluency, but will also give you more time to think of ideas and find the correct grammar and vocabulary.

موضوع جدید آزمون شفاهی آیلتس همراه با نمونه جواب خوب با نمره ۷ به بالا

I’m going to talk about the time I left a university assignment until the last minute and had to work flat out to get it finished. This was about ten years ago when I was doing my Master’s degree.

I had to do several 3000-word assignments for the modules on my Master’s course, but I remember that there was one in particular that I really struggled with. I had been procrastinating and putting it off for weeks, and in the end I left myself just two days to get the whole assignment done. This included finding and reading relevant books and articles, deciding on my thesis and assignment title, and producing a final draft which had to be handed in to the department office before the deadline.

The pressure of such a close deadline actually forced me to manage the task in a really efficient way. My first step was to decide on the general area that I wanted to write about, and then I limited myself to just ten research sources. I printed the most relevant pages, highlighted the key paragraphs and made some notes to summarise and synthesise the ideas that I found interesting. Finally, I just started writing the main body of the assignment, and I wrote the title and the introduction last.

I had mixed feelings at the time. I was annoyed with myself for leaving it so late to get started on the assignment, but I was relieved and quite impressed with myself when I managed to complete the final draft so quickly. It was also quite stressful and tiring to have to find articles, do photocopying and then write everything so quickly. I wouldn’t want to go through that again!

نمونه رایتینگ تسک ۱ آیلتس با ۴ مدل جواب

The bar chart below shows the results of a survey conducted by a personnel department at a major company. The survey was carried out on two groups of workers: those aged from 18-30 and those aged 45-60, and shows factors affecting their work performance.

Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

You should write at least 150 words.

Sample Answer 1:

The supplied bar graph compares different factors which affect the work performance of two different age group.

As is presented as a result of a survey in the given bar chart, for the both age group of 18-30 and 45-60, team spirit affects work performance equivalently and that is little over 60%. The reason ‘ chance for personal development’ works for the younger age group about 90% which is more than twice than the older age group. The similar scenario is true for the relaxing environment too and this reason affects more than 80% of the 18-30 age group workers and about only 30% of the 45-60 years workers. About 45% younger workers’ work performance is affected by the job security compared to little over 20% older workers. The only case where 45-60 years workers are influenced more than their younger counterpart is ‘respect from colleagues’ which is about 50% for this age group workers in contrast to 40% (approximately ) for the 15-30 years age group. The promotional prospect is an important reason that drives younger employees to work better and this reason affects 80% younger workers compared to almost 45% aged job holders. For the lower age group job satisfaction, work environment & money affects their job performance about 50%, 30% & about 75% consecutively compared to about 45%, 30% and 70% of 45-60 years job holders.

In short, workers job performance are highly affected by chance for personal development, team spirit, promotion prospects, job satisfaction and salary.

(Approximately 249 words)

Model Answer 2:

The given graph presents information on a variety of reasons that tend to impact job performance and it is divided by differentiating between two age categories of 18-30 years and 45-60 years. The data sample is collected from a personnel department at a big company.

Firstly, the graph shows that 90% value personal development between the age ranges of 18-30; followed by comfortable work environment and promotional prospects at an 80%. Secondly, the age range of 45- 60 are motivated by monetary aspects as 70% of the mentioned age group seem to perform better in this category.

Thereafter, the particular age group values team spirit as 60% of the age range is provided in the graph chose this category after money. However, though each group varied on their factors affecting their work performance, both age groups were highly motivated and at par by team spirit (60%) and Money (70%- 74%).

Model Answer 3:

The given bar graph shows the results of a survey which was conducted by a company and gives data on the important factors that determine the work performance. The survey was conducted among the employees dividing them into two age groups, namely 18-30 and 45-60. As is observed from the comparison bar graphs chance for personal development, relaxed working environment, promotion prospects and salary are the main motivating factors for young people for their work performance. On the contrary, comparatively aged people’s work performance are affected by the factors like money, competent boss and team spirit.

The survey results are presented in a bar graph and there are total ten factors that affect the employees’ work performance. The survey was done among the people of two age groups: 18-30 and 45-60 years. The young employees put the ‘chance for personal development’ as the most important factor for work performance and more than 80% of them consider this as the most important factor. Relax working environment, promotion prospects and money are three other important factors for work performance for this age group. The employees of the young group place the work environment, job security and respects from colleagues are the least preferred reasons for work performance for comparatively young employees.

On the contrary, the aged people who are over 45 years old and are less than 60, consider the money and team spirit are two most important issue for their performance in the job place. Job security, relaxed working environment and work environment affect this group the least. Interestingly, the issues which are preferred by the same percentage of both age groups of employees are team spirit (60%), competent boss (50%) and job satisfaction (50%).

In summary, the survey makes it clear that the young people work hard for their personal development, promotions, money and relaxed working environment whereas the aged people perform better for money, team spirit, competent boss, promotion and job satisfaction.

Model Answer 4:

The stipulated vertical bar chart depicts the outcome of a survey carried out by the personnel department of a major company and the survey was conducted among 18-35 and 45-60 age groups in order to show various elements that influence their job efficiency. At a glance, money is the motivating factor among both age groups.

To commence with, apparently, among both age groups of 18-35 and 45-60, team spirit motivates equal proportion of people that is 60%. Not only the chance for personal development but also the relaxed working environment is influenced youngsters about 90% and 80 % respectively which is twice than older age group. Surprisingly, competent boss and the job satisfaction have almost an equal proportion of workers satisfaction in both age groups. Apparently, job security only motivates 20 percent of elders whereas, it is among youngsters 40. Even though, 80% youngsters are motivated by promotion prospects, in the case of the old group, only 45% work for promotion. Interestingly, both age groups take money as the most equally encouraging factor to work with 75% while work environment was least with 30%.
