Before you take your IELTS speaking exam don’t you think it would be a a good idea to know what the examiners are looking for? What’s the difference between a band 5 and a band 6 ? What do you have to do to get a band 7 ? Why do some people get band 8? What’s the difference between a 7 and 8, or the difference between 8 and 9?

What are the examiners looking for?

老板说：“每斤(美金)5块”。
老外掏出10美金说：“我要两个苹果”然后嘀咕道：“中国的东西一点儿也不便宜，比我国家的还贵。
 
A foreigner who could speak a little Chinese asked the boss at a fruit stall, "how do you sell apples?"
The boss said, "5 yuan per catty ."
The foreigner took out $10 and said, "I want two apples." then he muttered, "Chinese things are not cheap at all. They are more expensive than my country's.
