You can also and has your speaking by involving in the game of:

Take a calendar and a pick a date.
Tell the students to mark certain parts of the calendar relative to that date (tomorrow, a week on Friday, this weekend, ten days from now, etc)
Check the results together.

How does that help their speaking skills? Well, in this case it doesn’t. That’s what comes next:

Once the students understand the game, tell them to do it themselves.
Each student should pick a new date and then refer to more dates and times.
Their partner can try to note down what they have said on their own calendar.
Check their results.

Overcoming tone of speaking

Number of IELTS candidates face is to overcome or to learn how to maintain intonation. One just don’t require to master it but also need to get the basics of it.

One has to learn that English is not a tonal language as like others of Chinese or Thai people. However, English language has different word stress as well as sentence stress too and this affect the meaning regarding actually what we are saying.

In order to maintain intonation or to learn how intonation you actually have to maintain you can give your students number of scripts on different topics.

Topics you can pick:

different summaries
A teacher and a student conversation
A manager and a client

So you can take the number of lengthy paragraphs as well as the conversation in between two people that can help your students to learn how to maintain intonation.

The students then have to read the script aloud (in pairs) while acting out those roles. The purpose is to make them see how intonation would be affected by mood. This shows them that something as simple as “I live in London” could be said in different ways according to different situations. It brings awareness to sentence stress.

There are lots of ways to adapt this exercise but I think it’s great for making them sound more natural
