第２２課　せめて 1/2

It was New Year’s Eve. 

A few friends had got together to celebrate at a cute little house. They were talking about their previous year, laughing about what had gone right and what had gone wrong. 

There was music playing from a stereo in the corner. The friends were almost yelling at each other because the music was so loud. 

“Jack, ol’ Jacky boy, get me another drink, will you?” a man said to his friend.

“Uggh, ok, but you’re getting the next one,” Jack replied. 

Jack drunkenly walked into the kitchen and switched on the light. It was a long, white light, very bright. The large refrigerator was in front of him. He opened it and saw many bottles of wine, orange juice, coca cola and water. He grabbed two bottles of wine from inside the door.  

But before he closed the fridge, he saw on the top shelf something white, red, and creamy.  

“Hey! Susan!” Jack yelled. “This cake looks absolutely delicious! Can I eat some?”

Susan came in from the living room. “Get your filthy hands away from it, Jack. It’s only 8pm. We’ll eat it after the countdown. Just wait.” 

She walked over to Jack, grabbed him by the arm and walked him back into the living room. Jack was happily holding the two bottles of wine under his arms. 

Now that the humans had gone, the foods in the fridge continued their celebration. 

“Psst, Pavlova,” a bottle of orange juice whispered. “He’s gone. Keep going.” 

Pavlova opened her eyes and continued singing an amazing opera song. She sung Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi. 

All the foods and drinks in the fridge were in love with Pavlova’s voice. After she had finished, they clapped and cheered. 

“Bravo! Bravo!” a cheese said. “Sing another one!”

在中国，为了表示对长辈的尊重，是不可以直呼其名的，有时候连同音字都要避免使用。阿九的儿媳是个非常聪明且孝顺的人，为了表示对阿九的尊重，她从来不说“九”，甚至连“jiu”的同音字也不说。这一天，来了两位老人，他们要考验阿九的儿媳是否真的可以不说“jiu”这个音……

Improving your IELTS Speaking score from a band 5 to a band 7 requires targeted practice in several key areas: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Here’s a breakdown of steps to take in each.

1. Enhance Fluency and Coherence: Band 5 speakers often struggle to speak fluidly and with clear connections between ideas. To improve, practice speaking on various topics for 1-2 minutes without pauses. Use transition words like "however," "on the other hand," or "in addition" to link ideas smoothly. Regular practice on platforms like language exchange apps can help.

2. Expand Vocabulary: Limited vocabulary often holds back Band 5 speakers. Aim to learn 5-10 new words daily, focusing on synonyms and expressions you can apply to multiple topics, such as work, travel, or family. Create mind maps on topics that frequently come up in IELTS, like "environment" or "technology," and practice speaking on each one.

3. Improve Pronunciation: Pronunciation errors are common at Band 5. Focus on getting each sound right, as well as on stress and intonation, to sound more natural. Listen to native speakers through podcasts or videos, and practice mimicking their tone and rhythm. Recording and replaying your responses is also helpful.

Master Grammar: A Band 7 requires control over complex sentence structures. Practice combining ideas into longer sentences using connectors like “although,” “since,” and “despite.” Working with a tutor or using grammar apps can help you understand and apply complex grammar structures correctly.
