You Couldn't Make it Up (with transcript)

14 Listening tips for your IELTS exam

    Attempt all questions – there are no penalties for incorrect answers.
    Watch out for plurals in answers. If the question requires a plural answer, a singular answer is incorrect.
    Answers appear in the order they are heard in the audio. They come quickly or with large gaps between them.
    Prepare to hear a potential answer that is not the actual answer. This is common when two people are making plans. They first agree on meeting at a certain time, but then one remembers that they cannot so they decide on a new time.
    Take care when you transfer your answers and pay attention to the word limit for your answers on your answer sheet!
    Multiple-choice answers will ask for a letter (a, b, c, d). Write the letter and not the corresponding answer.
    When asked to complete a sentence using no more than two words, and the correct answer is “leather coat,” then “a coat made of leather” is incorrect. Same goes for numbers.
    Hyphenated words (like “part-time”) are considered as one word.

    Focus on what the speaker is saying not how they say it.
    Don’t take notes in complete sentences – jot down the key points and abbreviate. You only need to write down enough to help your memory later.
    Get the habit of distinguishing between essential and non-essential information. If two people are talking about making plans for a dinner date, the important information is the date/time they finally agree upon. Other dates/times they considered become irrelevant.
    Try to guess what the speaker is going to say. Speakers, will often drop clue words or outline what they will to talk about beforehand. This gives you the ability to start your own outline to then fill in.
    Listen to the audio while reading the audio script. This will help you get a sense of how questions are spaced out, as well as learning some useful common expressions that are frequently used in listening tests.

EL   FALSO HÉROE

🚨 The Biggest Lie About Confidence in English 🚨

Most learners tell me: “I’ll be confident when my English is perfect.”

That’s a trap.
Because guess what? That day never comes.

I’ve worked with executives, IT managers, even IELTS test takers… and they all think the same way. But here’s the truth:

People don’t care about your grammar. They care if your message lands.

Confidence doesn’t show up after years of waiting. It’s built in the moment you speak, even when you’re unsure.

Confidence isn’t “personality.” It’s a skill. And like any skill, you can train it.

I’ve coached over 20,000 professionals — interviews, investor meetings, boardrooms, IELTS exams. The ones who succeed are not the ones with “perfect English.” They’re the ones who learn to trust their voice under pressure.

Imagine walking into your next big moment — not worrying about articles or tenses — but focused 100% on showing your value. That’s when opportunities open.

🔥 If you’re serious about this, book a trial with me today. In just 30 minutes, you’ll feel the difference — not in theory, but in practice.

Habit stacking is a technique where you link a new habit or task to an existing one so it's easier to form. 

To prepare for an interview, start small by reviewing your resume after breakfast each day.

Then, build on that by following it with researching common interview questions while you commute. 

Next, add practicing answers aloud in your car or on a walk. 

Gradually increase difficulty by recording mock interviews on your phone and reviewing where you can improve. 

Soon, your routine will be: 

breakfast > resume review > research questions > practice answers > mock interview. 

Then, take it a step further. After work, fit in calling contacts for referrals during your regular exercise. 

Follow exercise with reviewing your networking and researching the company more in-depth. 
Right before bed, update your notes so it's fresh in your mind. 

Within a few weeks, all these small, connected habits will have you fully prepared without much effort since it's just an extension of your daily routine. 

Habit stacking makes interview prep seamless and ensures you put your best foot forward on the big day!
