Why a lot of people like to buy books in the book store？ The story is suit for the listeners whose level is HSK1 or above.
书店里有什么？
学校里有一个书店，去那儿买书的人很多。这个书店能卖很多书，我想那儿的书很便宜。有一天，我去那儿买书，我问书店老板：“你的书能便宜一点儿吗”？老板说：“不能，一本书50块钱。”
书不便宜，为什么很多人买书呢？
我每天去书店看书，一个星期以后，我知道为什么了。书店里有桌子和椅子，桌子上有水、茶、咖啡，很多人坐在椅子上看书、喝茶。你能买喜欢的书，不买也没关系。
我现在也喜欢在那个书店买书了。

23. Flirt VS Sexual Harassment 搭讪 VS 性骚扰

If you want to achieve a band score six in IELTS you must show the ability to talk openly and freely. You are allowed to make mistakes and are not expected to speak perfect English. It is OK to hesitate, repeat yourself, or correct yourself if you think you have made a mistake. You will be able to use a range of connecting words.

Let’s look at those three skills in detail. First, let’s consider connecting words. connecting words are used to organize thoughts into words. For example, when we speak, we might say “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… I’d really like to have lessons. What connecting words did I use? Listen again: “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… You know, I’d really like to have lessons.” 
Did you hear the words well, however, and you know? These are connecting words. So, in your IELTS speaking, be sure to use connecting words. I have to admit, connecting words are not always used, because students don’t know too many.  To be honest, I think all students should practice using them. I’ve always believed that connecting words are a fantastic way to make sure you get a good speaking score in IELTS.

Did you hear three more connecting words? What were they? Correct: I have to admit, and to be honest, and I’ve always believed. Next time you have a conversation with your teacher, be sure to use To be honest, I have to admit and I’ve always thought. To be honest, I hope you choose me as your teacher. I have to admit, I enjoy teaching English. I’ve always believed that pratice makes perfect. See you!
