Hi intermediate English learners! Whether you're preparing for IELTS or not, I recommend checking out my first italki podcast episode this weekend. It gives some advice about how to answer a common type of present perfect question (which often appears in Part 3 of the IELTS speaking test). In the podcast, you'll hear some sample structures and phrases for comparing the past and the present, and then you can try to answer the question yourselves. Please feel free to share your own answers below and I'll give you some advice about how to improve.
