IB Vietnamese/ IGCSE Tutors

What is the IO?
First things first, what is the IB English Individual Oral?

It's a 15-minute oral exam.
The first section is a 10-minute presentation by you, the student, followed by a second section consisting of 5 minutes of questions asked by your teacher.
The IO is centred around a Global Issue.

Comparison and contrast is not a requirement (unlike in Paper 2)
How do I choose a good Global Issue?
A strong house requires a stable foundation. And if you want to get a 7 for your Individual Oral, then you must have a strong global issue (GI).

The global issue should* belong to one of the following 5 themes:

Culture, identity and community
Beliefs, values and education
Politics, power and justice
Art, creativity and the imagination
Science, technology and the environment

First, an excellent Global Issue is relevant to our current society. It must be relatable to many people across diverse cultures and national borders.

Global Issue Examples
To make it clear exactly what we mean, here is a weak global issue as an example…

Chosen Theme Politics, power and justice
Global Issue “Increasingly unaffordable healthcare causing a health crisis in the US”
Why it's a bad global issue
Unaffordable healthcare is unique to America and a few other countries, so it's not the most global of issues.
Now let's look at an example of a strong global issue…

Chosen Theme
Culture, identity and community
Global Issue “Social media leading to negative body image and self-esteem”
Why it's a stronger global issue?
This is a better GI because it's a contemporary issue and is relatable globally across different cultures and countries.
What could be improved?
This global issue is somewhat overdone. Try to be more unique when picking your global issue.
