IELTS的各个部分都是很严谨的，尤其是中国考生的弱项---口语。参加面试之前，您首先应该问自己是否已经做好以下三点准备：
※ 做好准备，轻松面对....
您必须做好准备和准时。记着带可以证明您身份的证件。您或许会被面试官要求填写一份资料表填写时切记要真实和详细。面试官会根据您填写的资料问问题。测验开始时会录音。您不用担心，录音只是用来确保面试官没有做错任何步骤。第一印象非常重要，您应尽量讲有意思和有趣的话题，发音也很重要，再有趣和有意思的话题都必须要让人容易听得懂。记着英语的表达是很着重语调和高低音；身体语言也可以帮助表达，放松自己，但也不要显得太轻松。尽量让您的形态告诉面试官您不紧张和有自信。
※ 尽量积极主动....
答问题时千万不要只回答“Yes”或“ No”。记着这个测验的目的是让您有机会说话，您要放开心情说话。面试官的角色是负责引导您说话，在整个面试过程中您说话时间的比例至少要有75%至80%，您要在回答问题时表现正面的态度。考生通常都应该诚实地回答所有问题，但有一些问题，回答的时候还是应该保持比较正面。例如问您对澳洲的印象，就算您真的认为非常不堪，也不应说出口。
※ 答案一定要清晰详细....
千万不要刻意用一些深奥或复杂的字来解释事情。不要以为这样可以加深面试官的印象，一个简洁易懂的答案绝对比一个复杂难懂的答案好。简单的答案不代表短答案，短答案会使整个面试有太多停顿，而面试官也要大伤脑筋多想问题。
如果已经做好以上准备，让我们一起来攀登面试的五个台阶：
第一阶段（介绍）
※ 须 知....
您一般会被问及关于您的背景和考IELTS考试的原因。您应对这类问题做好准备，在第一阶段表现的要求包括：
1）在轻松友善的态度下介绍自己；
2）用简单，准确而流利的言语提供您自己的基本资料；
3）表现给面试官知道您愿意表达自己和您有很多有趣的事要告诉他。
※ 应做和不应做的事...
应做的事
1）保持微笑和保持眼神接触；
2）当和面试官握手的时候，用力一点以表诚意；
3）清晰和详细地回答；
4）大方的谈及自己的事情和经验以控制场面；
5）测验前多练习，以肯定您能准确运用过去式等等的语法。
不应做的事
1）不要告诉面试官您很紧张，也不要眨眼太多和眼珠有太多移动；
2）握手时不要让面试官以为自己在握着一条死鱼；
3）不要让对话在短句中中止；
4）当面试官期望您进一步说明，不要随便停下；
5）有语法错误时不要害怕，应镇定地更正，但在口语考试中，流利度绝对比语法准确度重要。
※ 建议你用的字句....
试熟练以下句子：
Good morning.
Good afternoon.
I'm very well thank you.And you?
Pleased to meet you.
What exactly would you like to know?
As you can see from my CV...
Perhaps I can begin by telling you about...

第二阶段（进一步谈话和讨论）
※ 须 知....
当面试官要求您详细回答一些事情时，您应察觉第二部分已经开始了。通常题目会是关于您的兴趣，您的工作和您的学业。您也许会被问及一件事的过程，一件物件如何运作或一项游戏的规则等等。想在第二阶段有好的表现，您应该能做到以下几点：
1）不需面试官太多提示而流利地讲出个人见解；
2）能流利解释，描述或说明一件事情的发生；
3）表现出您愿意讨论这个题目，就算您对它不熟悉，您也可围绕着这个题目发挥。
※ 应做和不应做的事....
应做的事
1）开始回答时，先表示自己对题目的看法；
2）您起码要想到至少两个值得讨论的要点；
3）在正式开始讲解前，先说明您会提到的要点；
4）对不认识的题目，您可尝试猜测。用“maybe”，“perhaps”等字会比什么也不说好。
不应做的事
1）不要说您不懂这个题目或您从来未想过这些事情；
2）当您听不明白问题时，不用担心，您可要求面试官重复一次；
3）不要离题。否则面试官会以为您听不明白题目；
4）不要等面试官问问题，要表现出您有能力讨论题目而不需任何提示帮助。

第三阶段（诱导问题）
※ 须知 ....
当面试官要求您问他/她一些问题来收集资料时，您知道第三阶段已经开始。这可以算是一种角色扮演游戏。想在这个阶段取得高分，您必须做到以下几点：
1）明白自己角色的处境并知道自己需要什么资料；
2）控制局面，问的问题必须能发掘最多的资料或能解决某些问题；
3）在面试官给您的一些卡片中选用一些准确和适合的问题发问。
※ 应做和不应做的事....
应做的事
1）肯定自己完全明白自己所扮演的角色和处境；
2）将过程分开3部分：设定背景，询问问题和说“Thank you”和“Goodbye”；
3）在角色扮演前先说明您的角色和您想知道什么；
4）尽量问多些问题发掘所有资料，您至少需问10条问题。
不应做的事
1）当您对状况不肯定的时候，不要勉强假装自己明白，您可以请面试官再重覆一次；
2）在未设定背景前不要开始问卡片上的问题。尽量令对话显得自然；
3）不要在题目上找些字眼来组成问题，题目的作用只是一个起首的介绍，它有时并不能组成自然流畅的问题；
4）除非题目要求，不要问任何个人问题。
※ 全真模拟角色扮演卡....

第四阶段（思考和态度）
※ 须知....
在第四阶段，您会被要求更详细地讲出您的未来计划。面试官会将话题带向关于您将来的一些计划，如您想有好的表现，您必须用到以下几点：
1）详细地谈及您的未来计划（通常是关于您的工作或学业），避免需要面试官太多提示；
2）详细讨论什么事情会或不会发生，讲出您对将来会发生的不同事物的看法；
3）用简单的语言讲出复杂的意思。
※ 应做和不应做的事....
应做的事：
1）预先计划说话的方式，应如何将您的未来计划表达出来；
2）准备所有可能的wh/ how问题（即what， why， which， where， when， how 等等）的答案；
3）适合的句子和语法的表达；
4）对深奥的问题，您可尝试推测，尽量用简单的英语表达深奥的意思，不要随便放弃作答。
不应做的事：
1）不要回答得太简单。例如，被问及您的工作计划时，千万不要只回答“我毕业后便到一家公司里做”。您可说出公司名称，您可想象您的职位；
2）不要用太多“will”这个字，在英语词汇中有很多字都可用来表达将来的事。“will”这个字太确定，不适合用在计划上。
