Hej och välkomna till andra avsnittet av min podcast. År 2016 åkte jag till Japan och jag bodde i Japan i en hel månad. Det är alldeles för mycket att berätta i ett enda avsnitt så jag kommer ha många avsnitt där jag pratar om olika saker som hände under min japanresa. Och i detta andra avsnitt så kommer jag prata om den första veckan, de första fyra dagarna för då bodde vi på ett hotell i Osaka.

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.
