Bonjour ma vie

Et vous mes désespoirs.
Me revoici aux fossés
Où naquit ma misère !
Toi mon vieux guignon,
Je te rapporte un peu de cœur
Bonjour, bonjour à tous
Bonjour mes vieux copains ;
Je vous reviens avec ma gueule
De paladin solitaire,
Et je sais que ce soir
Monteront des chants infernaux…
Voici le coin de boue
Où dormait mon front fier,
Aux hurlements des vents,
Par les cris de Décembre ;
Voici ma vie à moi,
Rassemblée en poussière…
Bonjour, toutes mes choses,
J’ai suivi l’oiseau des tropiques
Aux randonnées sublimes
Et me voici sanglant
Avec des meurtrissures
Dans mon cœur en rictus !…
Bonjour mes horizons lourds,
Mes vieilles vaches de chimères :
Ainsi fleurit l’espoir
Et mon jardin pourri !
- Ridicule tortue,
J’ai ouvert le bec
Pour tomber sur des ronces
Bonjour mes poèmes sans raison…

Which part are you worried about?

I met a student from China who came to prepare for IELTS speaking, and while reading his goal, I picked certain areas from his answer that he wasn't even aware of. 

This was the goal: (I will hide the name, just to illustrate some of my student's goals), so here were his goals:

"My goal is to break through 5.5 in IELTS speaking. I often don't know what to say when communicating, especially during exams, and the answers are a little incoherent and overly nervous."

These were the issues I identified

a) Not knowing what to say (being stuck).
b) During exam fear (most people have 'exams-fear'.
c) Doubting about the answers (whether its correct).
d) Fear, anxiety when communicating.

What about you, do you have some of these concerns? If you said yes - I know how you feel and that's exactly what I am addressing in all of my IELTS speaking classes because the issues are similar in most cases.

Please listen to the podcast and pick what will resonate with you, and join my 1-on-1 VIP classes for your outrageous success in communication improvement whether for IELTS speaking, job interview preparation or business English.
