IELTS Speaking test TOPIC:describe a restaurant you like

There is a restaurant in my hometown---Leshan,Sichuan Province,China. (你能不能把这个饭店的名字翻译成英文吗？）

It is located near the Time Square. My parents and I would go there to have dinner once in a while.
It's a beautiful two-story house with two Chinese guardian lions in near the front door. A wood board, with the name on it, is hanged hung above the door. When we entered (to agree with the past tense 'would' in the next clause) the restaurant, a waitress would come along to lead us to our table and wait to take our orders.The hall is really spacious with blanket on it. (a blanket? do you mean the tables have table clothes?) The yellow light gives us a feeling of warmth.There are paintings on the wall,which shows a classic style (the word 'atmosphere' would work well in place of 'style'. You could say the paintings create a classic atmosphere'). The air conditioner never makes any noise whilst functioning well.
Over all,it's really a lovely place. I like it for its delicious food and its hospitality.

Great work. As I mentioned in the comments, you could improve the structure and organization by first writing a quick outline:

Outline:

Thesis: I like ???, a restaurant in Sichuan, for its (1)food and (2)hospitality

Topic 1:

- describe some special dishes

- compare the food with other restaurants to show how it is better

Topic 2:

- describe the environment and the servers

- recount a good experience at the restaurant to support how and why it is a special place

Hello Brooks, I think for an IELTS speaking response, this is fine. It is helpful, however, to have a thesis statement (a main argument) even in the speaking tasks since you are given half a minute to prepare. In the above passage, you have a good thesis statement, but you put it at the end of your talk. If you moved it to the beginning, it would help you structure your talk more: Thesis: I like a restaurant in my home town called ? because the food is delicious, and because the service is good. Now that you have a thesis (your main argument) you can make a quick *OUTLINE* of details to support it: OUTLINE: 1: the food is delicious: - describe some special dishes - compare the food with other restaurants to show how it is better 2: hospitality: - describe the environment and the servers - recount a good experience at the restaurant to support how it is special place Part of what you get marked on during the IELTS speaking section is organization and logic. If you use language that 1)compares and contrasts 2)sequences events in a logical order 3)gives examples to support your position then your mark will increase. Outlines are very useful throughout all of the IELTS tasks. I recommend practicing making outlines for all speaking and writing tasks.
