you prepare for IELTS speaking in the same way you prepare to get a raise or to be promoted. You do a lot of exceptional job with a spirit of enthusiasm and you'll find in time that others never had your thoughts, they never felt as excited as you and they were not that keen on achiving the goal, just had a simple wish. What makes you different? IT'S THE FIRE IN YOUR EYES AND THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH YOU ARE GOING AFTER YOUR DREAMS THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

È finalmente arrivato l’inverno e questo fine settimana Jimmy ha deciso di andare a fare spese. A Venezia il tempo è molto umido e freddo. Ogni mattina, quando Jimmy apre la finestra, c’è un sacco di nebbia. Prima di uscire indossa vestiti pesanti: cappello, sciarpa, guanti, maglione, scarpe impermeabili (perché a Venezia c’è sempre un po’ di acqua per le strade) e il cappotto.
Questa mattina è uscito di casa per andare in un negozio di abbigliamento. Appena entra la commessa gli chiede:
“Buongiorno, desidera?”
“Buongiorno, vorrei comprare un maglione caldo.”
“Di che materiale lo vuole?” chiede ancora lei.
“Mi piacerebbe un maglione di lana.”
“Che taglia porta?” gli domanda la commessa.
“Porto la M” risponde Jimmy.
La ragazza va a prendere alcuni maglioni di lana di colori e modelli diversi. Jimmy ne sceglie 3 e poi domanda dove sono i camerini.
Jimmy va nei camerini per provare i tre maglioni. La commessa gli chiede “Come le stanno?” e Jimmy risponde: “Il maglione blu è troppo largo. Il maglione rosso è troppo stretto. Il maglione verde invece mi sta benissimo. Lo compro.”
Jimmy va alla cassa per pagare. “Quant’è?” domanda.
“Sono cinquanta euro. Paga con la carta o in contanti?”
“Pago in contanti. Ecco a lei.” Jimmy paga, saluta e felice va via.
