Learn one thing, then check it

Extend an answer without restarting

Restarting a short answer

Last reviewed:

Band 5–7 · About 10 minutes

The band range helps you choose a practice focus. It is not a level assessment. Use paper or speak aloud; nothing is saved here.

01

Diagnose

Answer on paper or aloud before opening the check.

If you say “I like walking”, can a reason extend it without repeating the opening?

Compare my starting answer

Yes. Add a reason or a small example.

02

Understand

A short answer can grow through one reason and one detail. Restarting may interrupt the thought you already have. Practise completing the idea before correcting a small slip.

03

Solve

  1. Answer the question directly.
  2. Add one reason.
  3. Give one brief example.
  4. Finish the thought before reviewing a slip.

04

Practice

Original questions: Do you prefer making notes on paper or on a screen? Where do you usually keep useful notes? Answer each in English for about twenty seconds. Add one reason and one detail. Use an imagined routine if you prefer. This page does not collect your answers.

Check my answers

Use these checks with your own response. They do not produce a score.

  • Did I answer the question before adding detail?
  • Did I finish the idea without repeating the opening?
  • Did my example support my reason?

05

Verify

Compare two spoken attempts for repeated openings. Tomorrow, answer new questions about carrying a bag. Written notes cannot verify spoken fluency.

Practice material, not an IELTS score. No band prediction.
