Как уверенно говорить о чувствах на IELTS Speaking (Part 1 и Part 2)

IELTS PREPRATION B2/C1/C2 

Зачем вообще “говорить о чувствах” на IELTS

В Speaking экзаменатор оценивает не «правильные эмоции», а твои языковые навыки:

  • Range — разнообразие лексики (не только happy/sad)

  • Fluency — умение говорить связно и естественно

  • Coherence — логика: чувство → причина → реакция → результат

  • Pronunciation — особенно интонация и ударение в эмоциональной речи

Если ты умеешь точно и разнообразно описывать эмоции, твоя речь звучит богаче, взрослее и убедительнее — это повышает балл.

Главная формула ответа про чувства (подходит для Part 1 и Part 2)

Используй простую структуру из 4 шагов:

Feeling → Reason → Reaction → Outcome

Пример:

I felt really disappointed because I had worked hard on it.
I went quiet for a while and replayed it in my head, but later it pushed me to improve.

Усилители и смягчители

Усилители (делают эмоцию сильнее)

  • really / genuinely / deeply

  • incredibly / extremely

  • absolutely / totally

  • so + adjective (so relieved, so anxious)

I was deeply disappointed, not just a bit upset.

Смягчители (чтобы звучать естественно, не театрально)

  • a bit / kind of / rather

  • to some extent

  • I guess / I’d say

I was kind of nervous, but it turned out fine.

💡 На C1/C2 особенно важно уметь регулировать эмоцию: не всё “extremely”.

Полезные глаголы вместо “I was…”

Чтобы не повторять только I was happy/sad, используй:

  • I felt…

  • It made me feel…

  • I found it + adjective (I found it exhausting)

  • I ended up feeling…

  • I couldn’t help feeling…

  • It left me feeling…

  • I was filled with… (filled with relief)

  • I was overcome by… (overcome by fear)

Итак, примеры Part 1: короткие, но богатые ответы (10–20 секунд)

Шаблон:

Q: How do you feel when you have free time?

B2

I feel happy because I can relax. I usually watch a movie or meet my friends.

C1

I feel genuinely relieved because I can recharge. I usually go for a walk or catch up on sleep.

C2

I feel a strong sense of relief, because my schedule is often packed. I usually do something low-key, like a long walk or reading.

Part 2: как встроить чувства в историю (чтобы повысить band)

В Part 2 эмоции — это “движок” истории. Твой ответ должен звучать как мини-фильм:

Шаблон для Part 2:

  1. Setting — где/когда

  2. Expectation — что ты ожидал(а)

  3. Emotion shift — эмоция изменилась (это важно!)

  4. Reaction — что ты сделал(а)

  5. Reflection — чему научился(лась)

Пример Part 2 (C1/C2), где много эмоций

Cue card (пример):
Describe a time when you felt disappointed.

I’d like to talk about a time I felt really disappointed, and it happened last year when I applied for a course I was genuinely excited about.

I had high expectations because I’d worked hard on the application and I honestly believed I had a strong chance. When I received the rejection email, I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. I was not only disappointed but also a bit embarrassed, because I had already told a few friends about it.

For a day or two I kept replaying it in my head and I was second-guessing myself — I wondered if I had made a mistake or if I simply wasn’t good enough. But after I calmed down, I decided to treat it as feedback rather than failure. I asked for advice, improved my portfolio, and applied again later.

Looking back, I’m actually grateful for that experience. It was frustrating at the time, but it pushed me to grow and become more resilient.

Что тут работает на высокий band:

  • сильные коллокации (sinking feeling, replaying it in my head)

  • эмоция меняется

  • рефлексия и вывод
