IELTS Speaking Part 1: Concentration
The questions
Asked in this order, in one sitting.
- Is it easy for you to concentrate?
- What distracts you most?
How to answer it
Answer with conditions, not character: where you concentrate well, what time of day, what breaks it. Naming the distraction concretely — notifications, a flatmate's TV, background chatter in a café — is worth more than saying you are easily distracted.
What moves the band
- Focus lexis: get in the zone, lose my train of thought, tune it out, in short bursts.
These are candidate recalls. These are questions reported by test-takers after their exams, not official or leaked IELTS material. Wording varies by test version, location and memory. Use them for timed practice — never as a prediction of what you will be asked.
