“Goodmorning.Myname’sJohn.Couldyoutellmeyourfullname,please?
”
∙Manyexaminerssaythesethreesentencestogether,withoutpausingaftersaying,“Goodmorning.Myname'sX.” Becausetheexaminerdoesnotpausetowaitforthecandidatetoreturnthegreeting,mostcandidatesjustanswerthequestionwithoutreturningthegreeting.However,it’sbothgoodmannersandmorefriendlytoreturnagreeting.Inotherwords,youshouldinclude“Goodmorning.”or“Goodafternoon”inyouranswer.Ifyoucancatchtheexaminer’sname(withoutaskinghimtorepeatitbecausehewantstodothissectionquitefast)thenyoushouldalsoincludehisorhernameinyouranswer.
∙Don'tsay, “Goodmorning,Mr.John.”ThewordsMr.,Miss,Mrs.andMs.areonlyusedbeforeaperson'ssurnameand“John”isnot(usually)asurname.Theexaminerusuallyjustsayshisorhergivenname(firstname),nottheirfullname.
∙Asuitablereplyis:

∙Throughoutthespeakingtest,itisbesttousethecontractedformsofEnglishwheneverpossiblebutinthisfirstanswer,itisperfectlyappropriatetosay,“Mynameis”ratherthan,“Myname’s”.ItisappropriateherebecausewhenapersonstateshisorhernameinasituationsuchastheIELTSinterview,theyusuallywanttosayitveryclearlysothatthelistenermakesnomistakewiththename.Don'tforget,theexaminerisverifyingyouridentityhere.

Besides,yournamewillbewrittenas,"WangJianfeng"ontheapplicationform,whichiswhattheexaminerislookingatasyousayyourname.

∙Don’tspellyourname. (Onlyspellitiftheexaminercan'tunderstandyourpronunciationofit.)
∙Don’tsay,“WangismyfamilynameandJianfengismygivenname.”Thequestiondidn’taskyoutoexplainyourname.SometimesthereisaPart1topicconcerning‘Names’andinsuchatopic,explainingyournamecouldbesuitable.Butnothere.SayingthatalsogivestheexaminerthefeelingthatyouranswercomesfromanIELTSbook.Youshouldavoidcausingtheexaminertothinkthisbecauseexaminersverymuchpreferoriginalanswersfromyou.Theonlytimewhenit might beappropriatetoexplainwhichisyoursurnameandwhichisyourgivennameisifyouareaChinesepersondoingtheIELTStestoverseas.
∙Don’tcalltheexaminer,“Sir”,“Miss”or“Madame”.Ifyoudidn’thearhisorhername,justsay,“Goodmorning.”withoutsayinghisorhername.Using“Sir”, “Miss”or“Madame”isasignthatyoueitherconsidertheexaminertobeateacherorthatyouarebeingunnecessarilyformalorthatyouconsidertheexaminertobeyour‘superior’–youshouldthinkoftheexaminerasanequal,notassomeonesuperiortoyou.Ifyouthinkoftheexaminerasanequal,youwillspeakmoreopenly,bemorerelaxedandgetabetterscorethanifyouthinkheorsheisasuperior, orsomekindof‘examininggod’.Remember,WesternersareusuallylessformalthanChinesepeople.
∙Theexaminer’squestionwas,“Couldyoutellmeyourfullname,please?
”andthissoundslikea“Yes/No”question.However,thisformofquestionisnotreallya“Yes/No”question;it’sanindirectquestion,whichreallymeans,“Whatisyourfullname?
”Indirectquestionsareconsideredmorepolitethandirectquestions.
∙Wheneveryouareaskedsuchanindirectquestion,youshouldnotanswerwith,“Yes”or,“Yes,Icould.”NativeEnglishspeakerssometimesdoanswersuchquestionsbyfirstsayingaveryquick,“Yes”but you shouldnotsaythatbecausetheexaminermightthinkthatyouthinkitreallyisa“Yes/No”question.
