IELTS Speaking myths. We'll 'de-myth' two together! What is a myth anyway? A myth, a symbolic narrative, usually of unknown origin and at least partly traditional, that is especially associated with religious belief. Where do myths come from? Generally speaking a myth is a folklore genre consisting of narratives that play a fundamental role in a society, such as foundational tales or origin myths. Myths also come from 'imagining' what took place and forming an idea of it and then sharing it with others as if it actually took place. Of course it takes place in language learning and in IELTS speaking test. We'll look into 2 myths students generally think about when it comes to IELTS speaking tests, they are: Myth 1 - I have to agree with my examiner’s opinion (if I don't ... ) Myth 2 - My speaking duration was only 9 minutes long (instead of 11-14). (If it is to occur I ...) You can finish the rest. Do you have these kinds of thoughts running through your mind? Generally students say yes, you can be an exception but listen to the podcast just to see what not to do. It's highly recommended. Enjoy your process and I'd love to have an opportunity to assist the development of your spoken English in IELTS speaking or a job interview preparation instead of teaching you the rulles, grammar etc. See you in my classes.
