IELTS SPEAKING POV SERIES Part 4

November 6, 2026 · 11 min

Show notes

The IELTS Speaking Part 3 section isn't a harder version of Part 1. It's a completely different test.

This is the finale of our 4-part POV Speaking series. Today we run a live simulation on abstract 2026 topics including Architecture, Housing, and Remote Work. We break down the Global-to-Local Method: the exact logical structure that ex-examiners use to separate a Band 7 from a Band 9.

A Band 6 student says: "I think old buildings should be kept because they are important." A Band 9 student says they are "the cultural bedrock of a community, providing a sense of identity that glass-and-steel skyscrapers simply cannot replicate." The opinion is identical. The score is not.
