English With Janet

Welcome to English with Janet

Practice speaking English quickly and fluently by using tongue twisters! This is the first episode in a series of episodes I will do highlighting different tongue twisters with different target sounds.

Today's tongue twisters are:
⭐ Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
⭐ How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
⭐ I saw Susie sitting in a shoeshine shop. Susie works in a shoeshine shop.

旅行  
lǚ xíng  

跟旅行团旅行不用操心交通、吃住这些事情，  
gēn lǚ xíng tuán lǚ xíng bú yòng cāo xīn jiāo tōng 、 chī zhù zhè xiē shì qing ，  

主要的景点导游都会带你去看，比较舒服。  
zhǔ yào de jǐng diǎn dǎo yóu dōu huì dài nǐ qù kàn ， bǐ jiào shū fu 。  

但是，参加旅行团旅行没有自由，行程都是安排好的，  
dàn shì ， cān jiā lǚ xíng tuán lǚ xíng méi yǒu zì yóu ， xíng chéng dōu shì ān pái hǎo de ，  

如果遇到不好的导游或者不好玩儿的地方，你也没有选择。  
rú guǒ yù dào bù hǎo de dǎo yóu huò zhě bù hǎo wánr de dì fang ， nǐ yě méi yǒu xuǎn zé 。  

如果有条件，旅行还是自己安排比较好。  
rú guǒ yǒu tiáo jiàn ， lǚ xíng hái shì zì jǐ ān pái bǐ jiào hǎo 。  

你可以自由地决定去看什么，去吃什么，住什么地方。  
nǐ kě yǐ zì yóu de jué dìng qù kàn shén me ， qù chī shén me ， zhù shén me dì fang 。  

你也有时间、有机会更好地了解当地的文化。  
nǐ yě yǒu shí jiān 、 yǒu jī huì gèng hǎo de liǎo jiě dāng dì de wén huà 。  

现在旅游网站很多，在网上订票、订房都很方便。  
xiàn zài lǚ yóu wǎng zhàn hěn duō ， zài wǎng shàng dìng piào 、 dìng fáng dōu hěn fāng biàn 。  

当然这样旅行会麻烦一些，  
dāng rán zhè yàng lǚ xíng huì má fan yì xiē ，  

但是，自己解决遇到的麻烦也是旅行的意义。  
dàn shì ， zì jǐ jiě jué yù dào de má fan yě shì lǚ xíng de yì yì 。

3 Useful Phrases for IELTS Speaking Part 1, 2 and 3. Listen now.

Imagine being versatile in your language expressions? 

What would it include?

Will you sound different? Use complicated words? Or you'll speek faster?

These can be your strategies for success.

Below are some ideas that you can inject in your speech that will help you get a higher IELTS speaking score.

Here they are:

Transition Words - In the speaking section, transition words can help you to structure your response and give your ideas more clearly. Some common transition words and phrases include "Moreover, " "in addition, " "Furthermore, " "however, " "nevertheless, " "on the other hand, " "as a result, " "consequently, " "therefore, " "in conclusion, " and "to sum up."

Next are conditionals - The best way to approach part three of the exam is to expand your answers as much as possible. The topics are usually very broad, and the examiner wants to hear you speak in depth about a topic not answer as quickly as possible. This is your chance to shine!

Here are some conditionals you can use :

a) Zero Conditionals 

They are used to describe factual situations. Both clauses are in the simple present tense.


When it rains, I take the bus.

b) First Conditionals 
They are used to express what will most likely happen in the future if a certain condition is met. The ‘if’ phrase is normally in the present tense, and the following clause frequently includes a verb such as ‘will,’ ‘can’, or ‘might,’. 

If I get the required band score for IELTS, I will migrate to Canada.

c) Second Conditionals

They are used to express an improbable circumstance. The ‘if’ phrase is in the past tense, whereas the following clause frequently includes a verb such as ‘would’ or ‘could’.


If I were the mayor of our city, I would ban the use of plastics.

In my 1-1 classes I and my students go deeper into details of structuring your answers to make them vivid and crispy clear to examiners.
