Learn how to pronounce final consonants like /t/, /p/, and /k/ clearly and confidently. In this episode, we explore why these plosive sounds are so important in British English and how dropping them can change meaning. You’ll also discover their voiced counterparts — /d/, /b/, and /g/ — and practise with word pairs that train your ear to hear and produce the difference. Mastering these crisp endings will make your speech clearer, sharper, and unmistakably British.

Menemen

In this episode I talk through an idea I’ve been developing from my LinkedIn posts and from work with my Chinese IELTS students — the examiner’s eye. Lots of candidates can name the four IELTS writing criteria, but very few actually understand what they mean and how an examiner applys them. That gap explains a lot of 5.5–6.0 scores. So listen and hear how to close that gap...

I look at:
why template-heavy IELTS training produces flat, predictable essays
why “I know the criteria” is not the same as “I can apply the criteria”
how examiner perspective is formed over time and volume
how AI can be used to rehearse different band levels of the same task
This one is more theory than technique — it’s about thinking like an examiner before you start writing.

KEP 42: The Examiner’s Eye – Seeing IELTS the Way Examiners Do

Сегодня проверим себя по известному всем роману “Идиот” Федора Михайловича Достоевского. Текст достаточно легкий, но буду диктовать и знаки препинания. Нам понадобятся: точка (.), запятая (,), вопросительный (?) и восклицательный (!) знаки и многоточие (...)

Я прочитаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. 

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “восьмой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Ну и не забывайте ставить лайки и оставлять комментарии, мне будет очень приятно.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!
