There are three rules that should be followed in order to obtain a satisfying result from brainstorming:

Firstly, the examinee should learn to focus on the quantity of his/her answers. This rule is a means of enhancing excellent production and produce extraordinary ideas that can be used for the test. How to make an answer unique and extraordinary with knowledgeable contents are the most essential things that should be done before the exam. Thus, by reading brainstorming books or by brainstorming with other people can help to gain an ideal band score in the IELTS Oral Exam.

Secondly, learn to welcome unusual ideas and get a long list of ideas. They can be generated by looking from new perspectives and suspending assumptions. These new ways of thinking may provide better answer or solution to the questions in the test. Personal opinions or from others are especially welcomed by the examiners in the test. So, brainstorming with other people or reading different kinds of answers will be very helpful when taking the exam.

Lastly, combine and improve ideas through brainstorming. Good ideas should be combined to form a single excellent idea and stimulate the building of an idea by the process of the association. It is critical to be able to gather different perspective and thinking to form an effective answer for the test. Examiners would really appreciate to hear not only knowledgeable answers but also answers that have depth.

Describe an electrical equipment that you use everyday (except computer)

What   I am currently doing the treadmill everyday.

Who    This was advised by my best friend

Why   because she was concerned about my weight gain.  Doing the treadmill serves as our cardio exercise for a healthier heart. This is also to keep our body fit.

Where  I used to go to my best friend’s house to use her treadmill but now I go to the gym because it is nearer our place.

When   I started to do treadmill around January of this year. I am currently doing it everyday now.

Exercise is necessary for good health and everybody knows about this but not everyone is willing to do it especially on a daily basis. I started using the treadmill around January of this year. This was advised by my best friend because she was concerned about my continuous weight gain. Doing the treadmill serves as our cardio exercise for a healthier heart. This is also to keep our body fit. At first, I did it once a week, then twice a week, then thrice a week, until such time that I am now able to do it on a regular basis. I am currently doing the treadmill everyday. One thing about exercise is that it should be done consistently too otherwise, everything would be in vain. I used to go to my best friend’s house to use her treadmill but now I go to the gym because it is nearer our place. The first few days, weeks, and months seem to be a drag as I forced myself to walk to the gym. Nowadays, I am up and above at five o clock in the morning ready and eager to jog to the gym just to use the treadmill. It has now become a routine, a habit, and a lifestyle. When we use the treadmill, we are actually walking, running or jogging which is good for our heart and blood circulation. Some people are bored with it because they claimed that using the treadmill may make us physically active but mentally idle. Because of this, some people go to the gym with their earphones so that they could listen to music while doing their treadmill. Some students do their memorization of exams while they are doing the treadmill. But most of the treadmills in the gyms nowadays have television sets at the front section of the equipment so that the user could watch television programs or news while using the treadmill.

Part III-- In part III of the IELTS Oral English , the candidates are expected to discuss about topics related to part II or topics related to social knowledge or social problems.
