IELTS Speaking Part 3: contoh pertanyaan dan jawaban, struktur jawaban dan cara memperpanjang
IELTS Speaking Part 3 adalah diskusi 4–5 menit dengan penguji tentang ide-ide umum yang berkaitan dengan topik Part 2. Kalau di Part 2 kamu bercerita tentang orang yang kamu kagumi, di Part 3 pertanyaannya menjadi Why do young people need role models? atau Are celebrities good role models? Jawaban yang baik sekitar 30–45 detik: posisi, alasan, contoh, dan sedikit perbandingan atau sisi lain.
Format mengikuti deskripsi resmi Speaking di ielts.org (dicek 30 Oktober 2026).
Bedanya dengan Part 1

|---|---|---|
| Tentang | dirimu | masyarakat, orang pada umumnya |
| Contoh | Do you use social media? | How has social media changed the way people communicate? |
| Panjang jawaban | 2–3 kalimat | 4–6 kalimat |
| Yang dinilai lebih | kelancaran sehari-hari | kemampuan menjelaskan, membandingkan, berspekulasi |
Part 3 adalah tempat penguji memutuskan antara band 6 dan 7. Jawaban yang hanya tentang pengalaman pribadi (In my family…) tanpa naik ke tingkat umum biasanya tertahan di 6.

Struktur jawaban 4 langkah
- Jawab langsung. I think it depends on the age group.
- Alasan. Older people tend to see printed books as more comfortable to read…
- Contoh. In Indonesia, for instance, many students now read on their phones because e-books are cheaper.
- Tutup atau sisi lain. So I’d say printed books won’t disappear, but they’ll become more of a hobby.
Contoh lengkap:
Why do so many young people move to big cities? Mainly for jobs and education. Most of the best universities and companies are concentrated in a few cities, so if you grow up in a small town, moving is almost the only way to get certain careers. In Indonesia, for example, a lot of graduates from other islands go to Jakarta or Surabaya after university. The downside, of course, is that housing in those cities becomes very expensive, and smaller towns lose their most educated people.
Do you think technology makes people less sociable? In some ways, yes. You can see families at a restaurant where everyone is looking at their phone. On the other hand, technology also keeps people connected across long distances. My cousins work in different provinces, and video calls are the only way we see each other most of the year. So I’d say it’s not the technology itself, but how people choose to use it.
Kesalahan yang menahan skor
- Kembali ke cerita pribadi. Gunakan pengalaman hanya sebagai contoh, lalu kembali ke tingkat umum: people, society, the government.
- Generalisasi tanpa the dan jamak yang hilang: Government should build more road. → The government should build more roads. atau Governments should…
- Prediksi tanpa will/might: In the future people use AI for everything → people will probably use…. Karena bahasa Indonesia cukup memakai nanti, kata kerja bantu masa depan sering terlupa.
- Jawaban terlalu yakin. Di Part 3, frasa yang memberi nuansa (it depends, to some extent, in most cases) menunjukkan kemampuan bahasa yang lebih tinggi, bukan keraguan.
- Because di awal jawaban: Because they want money. sebagai jawaban berdiri sendiri terdengar terpotong. Mulailah dengan klausa utama: They move mainly because…
Kalau tidak tahu jawabannya
Penguji tidak menilai pengetahuanmu, hanya bahasamu. Kalau topiknya asing, beri waktu dirimu dengan jujur dan tetap bicara:
- That’s not something I’ve thought about much, but I’d guess that…
- I’m not an expert, but from what I’ve read…
Diam lebih dari beberapa detik merugikan Fluency; kalimat pengisi seperti di atas tidak.
