Express eating preferences, decide on different options and prices & irregular verbs: wollen/heißen/möchten, modal particle 'doch'.

Anna and Meili meet Paul in town. Meili had asked him in her message if he wants to eat together. That's why she wanted Paul's phone number from Anna earlier. She wants to thank him for the help, and invites both of them for dinner. While they think about what to eat, a message from Fritz arrives: he’ll be there soon, too. Has Fritz caught the Großkauf thieves yet?

14: Schnitzel oder Pizza? | Cutlet or pizza?

Part 1 - Films / Movies

Yuo'll find 4 questions along with 4 answers.

My goal is to help you grasp some ways how you can express yourself as well as the thinking behind the structure.

Enjoy it and let me know how I can assist you with your IELTS speaking preparation!

See you in my classes.


IELTS-SPEAKING 8-9 BAND IS POSSIBLE. DAILY SPEAKING PRACTICE PART 1,2 & 3. Listen daily.

Part 1 - Films / Movies

In part 2 of your IELTS test you have to speak on a topic for 2 minutes. Here are three things you should do in your one minute preparation time. 

1.Make a note of synonyms. Paraphrasing is an important skill to master when taking your IELTS exam. In fact, if you want to score a band score 6, you have to be able to generally paraphrase successfully. If you want a band score 7, you have to be able to paraphrase effectively. 

2. Think about idioms. Idioms are very important if you want to score above band score 6. To get band score 7, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions. That’s a tricky thing to wrap your head around. Using idioms are extremely important. If you use idioms more than once in a blue moon, you will have a greater chance of achieving a band score 7. This is just a stab in the dark, but I expect most students would like to achieve a band score 7.

3. Think about connectives - linking words. Discourse markers are also important and will help you to move through the subheadings on your card smoothly and effortlessly. Phrase like “Now let me tell you about” or “Now I’d like to explain why…” or “let me tell you the reason why I….” will make your English speaking sound natural and fluent.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me so I can help you achieve the band score you need.
