IELTS Speaking Practice — AI-Powered Feedback

Quick answer

Describe a website you often use: say what the website is, how you found out about it, how often you visit it and what you use it for, then explain why you find this website so useful.

You get 60 seconds to make notes and then speak alone for 1–2 minutes. Spend about 15 seconds naming your choice, a minute on the bullet points, and the last 30–45 seconds on the explanation, where the marks are.

The trap: stopping after 45 seconds. Keep going until the examiner interrupts you — a short long turn is the most common way marks are lost here.

The website I’d like to talk about is Notion, which is basically an all-in-one workspace I use for organising my life. It’s a mix between a notes app, a task manager and a wiki, so I can keep everything from shopping lists to long-term goals in one place. I mainly use the web version on my laptop, though I’ve also got the mobile app for when I’m out and about.

I first found out about it a few years ago through a productivity YouTuber who was raving about how it had “transformed” his workflow. At first I was a bit sceptical, because lots of apps promise that. But I tried the free version, followed a couple of tutorials, and little by little I moved all my scattered documents and random notes into Notion. After a week or two, I was completely hooked.

These days, I visit it several times a day, usually first thing in the morning and then on and off throughout the day. I use it to plan my schedule, track my study progress, and keep a record of useful websites, books and ideas. I’ve also created a sort of personal knowledge base where I summarise articles I read or podcasts I listen to, so I don’t forget the key points.

I find this website incredibly useful because it’s so flexible and customisable. Instead of forcing me to work in a fixed way, it lets me design pages that suit my own habits and priorities. On top of that, everything syncs instantly across devices, so I never worry about losing information. In a nutshell, it helps me stay organised, focused and a bit less stressed, which is exactly what I need.
