IELTS Speaking Part 1 Analysis:

Following were some of the errors or improvements required in the response given by the student while giving IELTS speaking test:

Question  4:

• Short sentences: “His name is Dilip Patel” can be combined with previous sentence to form a complex sentence.
• “used to” incorrectly used (“I used to know him” should be “I knew him” or “He has been my friend”)
• “had” in place of “have” (“when I had moved to my home”)
• “for the occasions” can better be “for various occasions”
• “We have even sometime get together” should be “We even sometimes have a get together”

Question 5:

• “Overuse of “actually” in first few sentences
• “Occasions” can also be replaced with “functions”
• “party” should be plural as “parties”
• “Then we can have” should be “Then only we have”
• “we can have a better social interaction” can be combined with prevous sentence using “where”

Question 6:

• Overuse of “sometimes”
• Explanation is not completely accurate but it does not cause hinderance to the listener to understand
• “issues of using the things which belongs to each other like something belongs common to each other” can be explained as “things which are shared with neighbours”
• “something is playing” or music is playing” should be “something is being played” or “music is being played”
• “found” should be replaced with “find”

Question 7:

• “Dilip Patel he has helped us” should be “Dilip Patel helped us a lot”
• Sentences can better be in the past participle, “he had helped” etc.
• Incorrectly attempted complex sentence:

“He has helped a lot and all the arrangements regarding the marriages as well as sometimes we are having a problem at home like socially or financially or medically, they can be one the nearest people who can help us immediately”
Should be replaced with:
 He had helped a lot in making all the arrangements regarding the marriage. Sometimes, whenever we are having a problem at home socially, financially or medically, neighbours can be the nearest people who can help us immediately.
