Visit ielts.allearsenglish.com for the simplest and most effective IELTS strategies.

Exaggeration, or talking in extreme ways about something, can raise your Fluency/Coherence score, your Vocabulary score, and your Pronunciation score.

There are 3 ways you can exaggerate, and I’ll show you examples of each way connected to an IELTS Speaking question.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: Do you enjoy taking photographs?

Exaggerate with vocabulary!

Use adjectives meaning ‘awesome’ to describe photos you’ve taken, such as awe-inspiring, breathtaking, magnificent and majestic.

IELTS Speaking Part 2: Describe the last novel you read.

Exaggerate with superlatives!

I read In the Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss, and it is the most stunning fantasy novel, by far / ever written.

IELTS Speaking Part 3: Why do some people not like reading?

Exaggerate with absolutes!

I will never understand that, actually. Reading is an indispensable part of my life. Stories have been, and always will be, my life-blood.

Write your own example sentences using the phrases for exaggeration.

Then, practice using then in your own answers to the IELTS Speaking questions given in the video.
