Hey Alexis!

Things you SHOULDN'T say in English!

Fake it till you make it - IELTS speaking success!

Fake it till you make it is an expression in which a person imitates the confidence or skills they need to succeed in what they are doing in the hopes that they will eventually feel real. 

Proponents of this idea say you can fake confidence and hope that, eventually, it will inspire real confidence. 

Have you had that before? What was the event? Can you describe it in great details using English?

I am sure you can do this, I believe in you and in your success!

See you in my 1-1 private classes now.

I hope it will inspire you to come up with your thoughts and ideas because you can't speak out of your memory - you need to learn to express what's on your mind!

In order to be trained by me to express what's on your mind and receive personal guidance.

Together we will learn how to deal  with fear-stress and the nervousness while in the test. 
Send me a class request  so we can address these issues as well as prepare you to speak from your heart on different questions using linking words / relevant vocabulary, speaking slowly and a lot more :) 

See you in my 1:1 classes.

English is a broad and beautiful language which is always evolving. Over time, people assign different meanings to the same word or they create new words which can be known as slang. Slang is informal and used in speech rather than writing. Here, I have put together some words you might hear when speaking with native British English speakers.
