1. “Good morning (good afternoon). My name’s X. Can you tell me your full name, please?” (= Please tell me your name.)
2. “What can I call you?” (= What shall I call you? = What should I call you? = What would you like me to call you?)
3. “Can you tell me where you’re from?” (= Where are you from?) 4. “Can I see your identification, please?” (= Could I see your identification, please? = May I see your identification, please?)
(The examiner is usually referred to as "he" on this page because writing, "he or she" is too cumbersome. Actually, about 40% of the examiners are female.)+ E& f2 h, l% l
The ‘Introductory’ phase of the test consists of a greeting from the examiner, followed by four questions. The main purpose of this part is to check the candidate’s identity. At the same time, the examiner begins to get an impression of the candidate’s English ability. . b% b; {- p1 C0 g7 U1 J4 C
Although this is (indirectly) part of the test, you should not give long, detailed answers because:
a) Long, detailed answers are not appropriate for these questions and, / O4 w2 [" M7 u+ U
b) The examiner wants to do this part of the test quite quickly, in about 30 seconds.
Since this is the very beginning of the test and since the examiner wants to do this part quickly, try to avoid causing the examiner to ask you to repeat what you just said.

The four questions are standard questions that are used in every test. Therefore, since we know exactly what the questions will be, it is a good idea to look at them in order to avoid ** unnecessary mistakes.
When the examiner first turns on the tape recorder, he makes a short statement into the tape recorder, stating such information as the date, location and the candidate’s name. : f. V7 ^4 B+ t5 S6 X

Then the examiner says something like: “Good morning. My name’s John. Could you tell me your full name, please?”Many examiners say these three sentences together, without pausing after saying, “Good morning. My name's X.” Because the examiner does not pause to wait for the candidate to return the greeting, most candidates just answer the question without returning the greeting. However, it’s both good manners and more friendly to return a greeting. In other words, you should include “Good morning.” or “Good afternoon” in your answer. If you can catch the examiner’s name (without asking him to repeat it because he wants to do this section quite fast) then you should also include his or her name in your answer. : ~( p& W" `$ I$ z$ t, ?.

Don't say, “Good morning, Mr. John.” The words Mr., Miss, Mrs. and Ms. are only used before a person's surname and “John” is not (usually) a surname. The examiner usually just says his or her given name (first name), not their full name.

A suitable reply is: “Good morning, John. My name is Wang Jianfeng.” If you do not include his name, it doesn’t matter too much but remember that the examiner is a human being and hearing you say his name would be a pleasant surprise for him! He will think of you, “What a nice person!” 1 A, K. v( {# h
Throughout the speaking test, it is best to use the contracted forms of English whenever possible but in this first answer, it is perfectly appropriate to say, “My name is” rather than, “My name’s”. It is appropriate here because when a person states his or her name in a situation such as the IELTS interview, they usually want to say it very clearly so that the listener makes no mistake with the name. Don't forget, the examiner is verifying your identity here. 3 C0 |3 P4 I3 ?) R
It’s ok to say, “Good morning, John. My full name is Wang Jianfeng.” but it’s not really necessary to repeat the word, “full”. However, you definitely must say your complete name – don’t just say, “My name’s Wang.” % w! H: d% w o# ^. _# v& N- J
