5 dicas para utilizar o Sistema de Saúde Brasileiro

When you take your IELTS speaking test, how should you prepare for part 2? What is the best way to use the one minute you have to prepare? What is the best way to prepare? How should you use that 1 minute?

Firstly, think about the synonyms you could use. Paraphrasing is an important skill. For example, if the question asks you why did you like something, don’t say ‘I like it because’ but say, it’s my favorite because. And if the question asks you how old you were when you learned how to ride a bike, don’t say ‘I learned to ride a bike when I was a child’, but say, ‘I learned to cycle when I was a child.’ Also, if the examiner asks you if something is important, don’t say ‘I think it’s important,’ but say ‘I think it’s essential, or I think it’s vital.’

Use synonyms. Learn to paraphrase. And book a lesson with me so you can practice your IELTS speaking skills and get the band score you need.

En español tenemos muchos verbos. Algunos de estos verbos son muy específicos y los usamos para cosas concretas, son cosas que siempre van asociadas con estos verbos, y que si bien se pueden expresar con un verbo diferente a los nativos nos sonaría un poco extraño.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio y aprendas algo nuevo. Después de escucharlo no te olvides de dejar una valoración en esta plataforma ni de pasarte por mi Instagram para decirme:

-si conocías el uso de estos verbos. 

-si conoces algún otro verbo que expresa algo muy específico.
