ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE LA PASTORA QUE ENCONTRO UNA FLAUTA MAGICA.


Presta atención a la lectura de tu profesor.

Había una vez una joven pastora. Un día se encontró una flauta. Era una flauta
mágica que hacía bailar a todo el mundo.

Una tarde, el herrero del pueblo oyó la música de la flauta y empezó a bailar sin
poder parar. Se enfadó tanto que dijo a los vecinos que la pastora era una bruja.

Entonces, todos decidieron echar del pueblo a la joven.

Pero, antes de irse, la pastora les pidió que le dejaran tocar la flauta. Y en cuanto
la oyeron, todos se pusieron a bailar. Los vecinos se lo pasaron tan bien que
decidieron que la pastora se quedara en el pueblo con ellos.

What is the easiest way to get a higher score in IELTS speaking?

Certainly, there are many ways to get a person to be quick at giving an answer, but I found language learners are stuck when expressing themselves.

Have you felt stuck when trying to give an easy answer when answering IELTS speaking questions?

Imagine you'll be asked a question to which you have no answer; you've never heard or seen it occur, nor do you know anyone who does it.

In the mini-podcast, I allow you to express yourself with ease when answering random parts 1, 2, and 3 of the IELTS speaking exam.

Give it a shot, enjoy the listening and learning, and let me train you personally.
