IELts speaking part 1
Many students lose marks in IELTS Speaking because their answers are short, unrelated, or underdeveloped.They often know what to say, but not how to expand their ideas naturally.
One simple way to fix this is the REDS method.
REDS helps you extend your answer while staying relevant:
- R – Reason: explain why you feel this way
- E – Example: give a real or imagined example
- D – Details: add specific information
- S – Speculate: make a prediction or talk about the future
👉 You do not need to use all four.Using one or two is usually enough for a strong answer.
Practice
Use the REDS method to answer this question:
Do you like what you do or study?
