مدتی پیش ایمیلی از یک داوطلب آیلتس دریافت کردم که در باره تجربه خود در یکی از مراکز برگزاری آیلتس در ونکوور کانادا پرسیده بود. ذیلا متن ایمیل و پاسخ من را ببینید. سوال ذکر شده سوال بسیاری از شما هم هست.

What does it mean if the examiner interrupts you too often?
@ibtil
Q: In part 3 I spoke just 2 sentences for each question and the examiner kept interrupting me.
@ibtil
If the examiner interrupts you quite a lot then most likely your answers are either too long or you are speaking too slowly.
You say you just spoke two sentences. I guess you mean about two sentences for each answer. Basically, the examiner is under pressure to ask you a total of at least a minimum of about 5 questions for the whole Part 3 and he/she must ask these questions on two different topics that are loosely connected to the Part 2. I'm sorry to say that it sounds like your performance was not that good, although maybe not as poor (or bad) as you might think.
Examiners might also interrupt you if you are obviously speaking a rehearsed, memorized answer or one that is irrelevant to the question.
@ibtil
Most likely you gave two-sentence answers to the questions and then paused, trying to think of how to add more details or "develop" your answers but you were pausing too long. Most candidates are like that. It's not exactly a case of "interrupting" if you are not really speaking when the examiner moves on to another question.
@ibtil
You also need to develop the skill of "discussing" by showing in some way that you have not finished what you want to say. For example, saying, "Umm" tells the examiner you are still thinking. Or making a small comment or statement like, "In fact, there's more I can say about that."
