Thanks to Aurore for sharing with us her IELTS experience.

Many people feel insecure about the IELTS Speaking test, they consider it the hardest part of IELTS. I think that the reason is being face-to-face with the examiner; the intense interaction is what scares the students.

And guess what, as I was thinking “If only I could show them what it’s really like, maybe they wouldn’t be so frightened anymore” – I found this great video on Utube and it shows what real IELTS speaking test looks like.

So here it is, enjoy and relax – it’s not that bad!

Thanks to http://www.ipass.uk.net for the video – great job, guys!
