Read on for information, tips, and practice materials for IELTS Speaking questions, Part 3. (And you can go here for <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-speaking-topics\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a guide to IELTS Speaking topics<\/a> that could appear in Part 3, or Parts 1 and 2!)<\/p>\n<h2>What happens in IELTS Speaking Part 3?<\/h2>\n<p>Part 3 of the IELTS Speaking exam should feel like a smooth transition from Part 2. The first topic of IELTS Speaking Part 3 will always relate to the topic of your Part 2 monologue in some way. Yet, this time you will not have any time to prepare your responses. Instead, your responses will be conversational, similar to the responses you give in <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-speaking-part-1-questions\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IELTS Speaking Part 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Take a few minutes to look at these official Part 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/-\/media\/pdfs\/115053_speaking_sample_task_-_part_3.ashx?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">questions <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/-\/media\/files\/115055_ielts_speaking_sample_part_3_recording.ashx?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">responses<\/a> (here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ielts.org\/-\/media\/pdfs\/115057_speaking_sample_task_-_part_3_transcript.ashx?la=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transcript<\/a>) to get a good sense of what will happen.<\/p>\n<p>As you might imagine, the number of questions you receive in IELTS Speaking Part 3 depends on how much you say in your responses. If your answers are very short, you may get a lot of questions. If you speak with more depth, you will receive fewer questions. In general, you can expect that the examiner will cover 2 &#8211; 3 different IELTS speaking topics in Part 3.<\/p>\n<h2>Part 3 Questions and Sample Responses<\/h2>\n<p>Part 3 questions can be tough to answer because they require detailed and complex answers. What does help, though, is that they will be a logical extension of your Speaking Part 2 topic card. To give you an example of what to expect, let&#8217;s first revisit the first example topic card from our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-speaking-part-2-topics-questions\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IELTS Speaking Part 2<\/a>. From there, we&#8217;ll look at some possible Part 3 3 follow-up questions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>IELTS Speaking Topic Card<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"mox\">\nDescribe a time when you gave someone advice.<\/p>\n<p>You should say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>to whom you gave the advice<\/li>\n<li>what the advice was<\/li>\n<li>whether that person took your advice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and explain why you gave the person that advice.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>IELTS Speaking Part 3 Follow-Up Questions, With Sample Answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"mox\">\nDo you think it&#8217;s better to take advice from family or from friends?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>ANSWER: I think it&#8217;s usually better to take advice from family, especially parents. Your friends may not have as much experience or wisdom as your parents. At the same time, advice from peers can be useful for your shared situations with them. For instance, classmates may give better advice about school.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What are some situations where you feel it&#8217;s especially important to ask other for advice?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>ANSWER: In my opinion, it&#8217;s particularly important to take advice when you&#8217;re making a decision that could affect other people. For instance, if you are thinking of moving to a new place and you have kids who must move with you, that&#8217;s an important time to take advice. But if you&#8217;re moving alone, you can make the decision alone.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you think you give particularly good advice?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Often, yes, I think my advice is pretty good. But part of giving good advice is knowing when you simply shouldn&#8217;t give advice. If I have doubts about how good my suggestions are, I won&#8217;t make them, or I&#8217;ll emphasize to friends or family that my suggestion is just my personal opinion.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h3><strong>More Example Questions from Speaking Part 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Below, we&#8217;ll look at some additional example questions that you might see in Part 3 of the IELTS Speaking Interview. This time, we&#8217;ll focus just on the part three questions, with 11 example topic categories. But if you want to see the original topic cards that would precede these questions, check out the first 11 topic cards in our post for <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/ielts\/ielts-speaking-part-2-topics-questions\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IELTS Speaking Part 2 questions<\/a>.

Your only job is to demonstrate your English abilities by responding with as much detail as you can. Your goal should be 1) to provide a direct and clear answer to each question and, 2) to support each answer with at least 1 or 2 examples or details. When you\u2019ve finished speaking, your examiner may ask you a follow-up question, or she may change the topic entirely! Just follow the examiner\u2019s lead wherever the conversation goes.
