Describe image
Instruction: It is ok to repeat keywords a few time, it is actually good for your content too,
simply replace the keywords you see in any picture/graph into the template, speaking
without meaning will not impact your score so don’t stress!
Even if you make no sense whatsoever, you will still get full score so focus on clarity and
fluency.
In conclusion the image is very interesting and informative because it shows information about
(keywords that have not been mentioned before)
The graph below shows the Monthly temperature and Precipitation between January to

temperature

In conclusion the image is very interesting and informative because it shows information about
June, July & August as well.
Retell Lecture
Retell lecture technique is exactly the same as Describe
Image, but it now requires your listening skill to acquire
keywords
Example
Keywords: Australia, location, exports, international, trade, territory, transportation,
expenses, telecommunications, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Telstra
In conclusion, the lecture is very interesting because they also mention the information
about Melbourne, Brisbane and Telstra
Yes! It is absolutely fine to repeat the keywords a few times to ensure the machine can
understand you better.
When note taking, keywords are mainly nouns, numbers, verbs and Adjectives
So for example if the sentence is: It is important that students must understand the
lecture in order to pass the exam.
