Scoring Criteria For Describe Image & Retell Lecture
A U FOR MORE
When aiming for 50 & 65+ we mainly focus on FLUENCY while maintaining the
balance of PRONUNCIATION & CONTENT, so we will have longer template than
normal
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 December
From the image we can see that it provides information that precipitation is in green, and temperature is in red
As can be seen from the picture, it also provides information about the highest values are 6,7, 8 for precipitation,
and 60, 70, 80 for temperature
As can be seen from the picture, it also provides information about the lowest values are 2,3,20 and 30
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.
