Hi Rima, I won't repeat the things that Julian said because he has done an excellent job with his feedback. Instead, I want to give you some information on using paraphrases. You used the words motivated and demotivated throughout your speech, and paraphrasing is essential to get a higher vocabulary score. 1. One way we can do this is by using a synonym - and a good way to think about synonyms is that English is more than one language - motivation is an academic word with a prefix and suffix... mo-tivation mo-tor mo-vement - the mo part of the word is from another language - Greek or Romance languages - and signifies mo-tion. -ation is a suffix. So mo-tiv-ation. When we have words like motivation with prefixes and suffixes in everyday speech, there is usually a phrasal verb to say the same thing. The phrasal verb is a synonym that originates from a different language -usually Germanic. You might get all fired up about doing something - get + all + fired + up + about + doing - this is a way to say the same thing as becoming motivated to do something. Note phrasal verbs are less academic, so they are less suitable for the IELTS writing test but great for IELTS speaking. Other synonyms you could use are enthusiasm/enthusiastic; when I visualise my goals, I find my enthusiasm rises. 2. To paraphrase, you can also use closely associated words - in this case, confidence is a word you could use. I feel confident that I can achieve my goals. 3. An alternative way to paraphrase is to define what you mean and just say it in easier words - this will avoid repeating the same words repeatedly. To become motivated is to experience a lot of energy to do something. This is putting it into simple words to describe the feeling of motivation. I hope this helps you think about paraphrasing and helps you prepare for the test. When I visualise my goals, I experience more energy and can achieve them more easily.

I'm a person who gets motivated and demotivated... It's easy to get motivated by anyone... If someone tells you something inspiring, you get motivated right?
