This episode gives students of English some advice about how to answer a common question type from Part 3 of the IELTS speaking test. Students will listen to some structures and phrases that will help them to compare the past and the present (in this case, relating to their hometown).

Please send me your own answers to this question, and I'll give you some advice about how to improve.

IELTS-style speaking questions

IELTS Part 3: "How has your hometown changed in the last 20 years?"

Are you enthusiastic? 

Let's talk about the word Enthusiastic. We will proceed with a Q and A, followed by five different sentence variations. 


Joy to Our World

I am enthusiastic! 

In questo episodio continuiamo la lettura del libro La fine è il mio inizio versione redux. 
Ho fatto un errore nei primi minuti dell'episodio accenno al solstizio d'estate (21/06) dicendo equinozio invece di solstizio, questo a prova del fatto che anche noi parlanti nativi facciamo errori!!! Spero che questo episodio sia di vostro gradimento, buono ascolto e buono studio!!!

Chinese story
《同学的爱》  The Classmates’ love

在重庆市的一家医院里，有一位女孩儿躺在病床上。她叫小菲，今年十七岁。
There was a little girl lying in bed in a hospital in Chongqing City. She was called Xiao-Fei, aged 17.
二零一二年夏天她还可以在外面跟朋友、同学一起玩儿，但是她现在只能躺在床上，因为二零一二年八月，她发现自己生病了，而且是白血病。
She could still play with friends and classmates outside in the summer of 2012. Now she could only lie in bed, as she found herself sick in August, 2012 and was diagnosed with leukemia.

小菲的高中同学都很难过。为了鼓励她，小菲的高中同学也和她一起做出改变，这让她觉得很多人都在支持她。
Xiao-Fei’s high school classmates all grieved for her. To encourage her, her high school friends also made changes with her to make her feel that many were supporting her.

小菲生病以后，每天都必须早睡早起，锻炼身体。小菲的同学也开始每天早睡早起，锻炼身体。他们让小菲知道，他们正在和她做一样的事。小菲只能喝开水，不能再喝可乐了。小菲的同学也和她一样不再喝可乐。
After getting sick, Xiao-Fei needed to go to bed and get up early to exercise. Her classmates also started to go to bed and get up early. They let Xiao-Fei know that they were doing the same thing. Xiao-Fei could only drink water, but not coke anymore, and her classmates followed suit.

小菲的同学对小菲说：“你不放弃，我们也不会放弃！”
“If you don’t give up, we won’t either,” Xiao-Fei’s classmates told her.

同学们知道小菲需要很多钱治疗，所以大家拿着箱子向路人募捐，最后募到了兩万多元。
Her classmates knew that Xiao-Fei needed lots of money for treatment, so all of them carried boxes to raise money from pedestrians. Eventually, they gathered a total of 20,000.

小菲看到大家这么支持她，她说：“大家这么关心我，我一定会更努力让自己好起来。”
Knowing that all of them were supporting her, Xiao-Fei said: “All of you cared about me so much; I will certainly try my best to get well.”

LEARN BY LISTENING

HOW TO Stop Translating From Your Native Language To English When Speaking

Do you tell the truth or lie in the IELTS test?

What if you are stuck when expressing yourself, when you lack of ideas, what do you do???

What if you don't have any content to share the moment you are asked a question on an IELTS test?

How do you feel about 'telling a lie' when this is the only solution on a test?

I found my Chinese students have a moral issue when I help them overcome 'being stuck' when speaking a question.

It's vital to be honest and tell the truth. We all know this, but the IELTS speaking test goal is slightly different.

Listen to the podcast and find out how you can overcome 'lack of ideas' when expressing yourself or when you can't tell stories.

You can simply imagine them.

You'll have more clarity on the recording.

Enjoy it and join my classes to prepare for your next IELTS speaking test, job interview preparation, or to prepare your business English and communication skills.

See you in my classes now.
