Very nice to meet you and if I know you, good to see you again. So, listen, let's begin with part 1.
What happens exactly in IELTS speaking part 1? Well, you arrive at the test centre, of course.
You go in, you register normally and some test centres and countries are a little bit different but normally you are asked to leave your belongings, your mobile phone in a special place. And then, you're taken to a waiting area and you would sit outside the exam room, okay.
You wait there and then the examiner will come and open the door and invite you in. They'll say "Hello", of course, just say hello, smile.
And normally, before you go in, they will start recording the test and they use a little mp3 player, so don't be surprised your whole test is recorded. You're invited to sit down and then the test begins.
Of course, you need your ID or the passport and the examiner will start to ask you questions and we're gonna look at that. Do remember, the examiner is the one who asked you questions.
You're not asking them questions. It's not a conversation.
