This episode gives students of English some advice about how to answer a common question type from Part 3 of the IELTS speaking test. Students will listen to some structures and phrases that will help them to compare the past and the present (in this case, relating to their hometown).

IELTS Part 3: "How has your hometown changed in the last 20 years?"

In Episode 69, we explore the internal power of solo language learners and how deep peace, not pressure, builds fluency. Drawing from psychological frameworks like Self-Determination Theory, we see how autonomy and self-knowledge fuel motivation. For learners struggling with fear, guilt, or overwhelm, this episode offers tools like expressive writing, emotional labeling, and mindfulness-based focus techniques, all backed by neuroscience and cognitive psychology.

The key insight? You don’t have to fight your feelings.
You just have to work with them, gently and honestly.
Even in solitude, you are never truly alone—because your resilience, insight, and ability to adapt walk the path with you.
