The document discusses the IELTS speaking test, which consists of three parts: an interview, a long answer, and a discussion. In the interview (4-5 minutes), basic questions are asked about the test taker. The long answer (1-2 minutes) requires speaking uninterrupted on a given topic for a minute after one minute of preparation. The discussion (3-4 minutes) involves further questions about the long answer topic, where test takers give in-depth responses and justify opinions. Performance is graded based on fluency, communication, grammar, pronunciation, relevance.
