How to use 5w and 1h in IELTS Speaking
We have 5w’s and 1h these are the questions which you should complete in speaking part 2. Whenever we need to describe the more information about the particular thing we need to cover up these 5 W and 1 H i.e. (who, what when, where, why and how). These 5 W and 1H help us to find more information about any given incident or event. Also, the most journalists use it when they are writing newspaper articles they answers all these questions so that people who are reading the newspaper get the information and details that they need. So it is very important that you can answer all these questions in your speaking and when you write essay. So let’s discuss about How to use 5w and 1h in IELTS Speaking.
1. We will start with 5 W’s. These are commonly known W’s. Firstly we use “who” it is used for person. When you are going to say about any person then you need to explain about the person’s name first. Who is involved in full topic. As an example, if there is a huge party that your friend is telling you about it. So you need to explain the name of person first to answer the question of who.
2. Then we go to the “what” this question comes after the who. When we need to define the reason of a particular thing to fulfill the demand of the question.
For example, what happened in the party??
Here you will explain about, which things happened in the party. Suppose, you have the cue card
Describe a time when you attended a party
What was the occasion?
When you went
Who went with you in that party?
Where the party organized
Why you went in that party
How you felt after going there
So, always you get these kind of topics in which you must be complete the above said 6 questions. Also it is very easy for you to maintain the length of cue card by using these questions. As well as you get the idea very easily.
3. “When” this is the very important question that “when was the party”. Your answer will be like this, it was in last week or it was 2 year ago. And you can define more about that party if it is necessary.
4. “Where” is used to signify the direction. Whenever you feel that you need more brainpower to clear your thoughts. Where also define the good conversation. And the Conversations can happen in various places, and there are powerful tools that specialize in different formats. So if there is a question that where is the party held?
Then you can say that “the party held in the restaurant which is located in the center of ….. City.
5. “Why” Asking ‘Why’ entails clarifying why the issue, problem or situation at hand occurred. It aims to identify the triggers and rationalizes the occurrence of an issue or a problem. So, having a party tell me about party, or why this party organized.
6. “How” this element of technique is used to examine the sequence of things and triggers and how the resultant problem or issue in your speaking test.
For example:
How much: This indicates the quantity, volume or size.
If you complete these 6 elements in your speaking than your speaking will be more effective and you will able to generate idea. So when you get 1 minute to prepare the cue card. You should cover these 5ws and 1 h.
