Before you take your IELTS speaking exam don’t you think it would be a a good idea to know what the examiners are looking for? What’s the difference between a band 5 and a band 6 ? What do you have to do to get a band 7 ? Why do some people get band 8? What’s the difference between a 7 and 8, or the difference between 8 and 9?

18. La casaca (la ropa en Perú) 

JOHN: Hi, Alice, it’s John. How are you? 
ALICE: Oh, hi, John! I was just thinking about you.
JOHN: That’s nice. I was wondering if you’d like to go to a 
movie tonight.
ALICE: Sure, I’d love to! What’s playing?
JOHN: I was thinking about that new comedy Lights Out. What do
you think?
ALICE: Sounds great!
JOHN: OK, I’ll pick you up around 7:30. The movie starts at 8:00.
ALICE: See you then. Bye!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hi, Alice, it’s John: Hi, ____, it’s ____ is a casual and friendly way to say hello on the 
phone. Although “it’s” means “it is,” it is used to mean “I am” here.
• Oh, hi, John! Notice the rising intonation here. Alice is excited to hear from John and is 
very pleased that he called her.
• I was wondering if you’d like to ... This is a polite and indirect way of asking “Do you 
want to …?” John is nervous and does not want to appear too direct or bold. Notice 
how the question goes up at the end, which shows that he is not overly confident.
• Sure! I’d love to means “Yes, I would love to.” Notice that Alice is very enthusiastic 
and friendly. She wants John to feel comfortable about asking her out on a date.
• I was thinking about … / What do you think? Again, John does not want to appear 
too bold. He wants to give Alice a chance to suggest a movie.
• Sounds great! Is an informal way of saying “That is a good plan.”
• I’ll pick you up is an informal way of saying “I’ll come to your house so that we can 
go together.”
