Story 7

Are you stuck at IELTS 5.5 or 6.0? Tired of hearing the same advice but seeing no progress? In this episode, I break down the real reasons why your IELTS Speaking and Writing scores aren’t improving — and what you need to change today.

Having worked with hundreds of IELTS candidates, especially from China, I know the common mistakes:

Short, unnatural answers

Overly formal language

Repetitive vocabulary

Relying on memorized idioms instead of natural English

🚫 Why IELTS strategies alone won’t help
🚫 Why tips, templates, and endless mock tests aren't enough
✅ Why 200+ hours of active practice is the real key to moving from Band 6 to Band 7
✅ How authentic English practice and honest feedback will help you improve faster

What you'll learn in this episode:

The truth about IELTS progress (based on Cambridge research)

Why many candidates from China (and globally) misunderstand how IELTS works

How IELTS measures real-world communication skills, not your ability to memorize exam hacks

The mindset shift you need if you’re serious about Band 7+

🎧 Listen now and get clear, no-nonsense advice on how to improve your IELTS score — from someone who’s helped students worldwide achieve success.

Today I will be discussing a topic that I found very interesting, and I hope you do to, It is something I have started doing and I definitely feel the positive effects. Today I am discussing grounding at first, this may sound a little woo-woo. But the science behind earthing and grounding is compelling: The earth is abundant in free electrons (negatively charged) that when connected to the body can help neutralize free radicals, providing antioxidant and immune-boosting properties

Grounding also called earthing, is a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that “ground” or electrically reconnect you to the earth for various health benefits.
We walked barefoot and we slept in contact with the Earth never realizing that its surface contained limitless, natural, healing energy. Walking around barefoot is not our main mode of travel any longer. We live indoors much of the time and when we do walk or run outside, we wear rubber-soled shoes which prevent our feet from being able to absorb the Earth's subtle energy. Rubber is not conductive, but our bodies are!

〈#33〉4月7日木曜日　春の全国交通安全運動が始まる

Rob: Hi Selma, how are you?

Selma: Oh hi Rob! I’m doing well, thanks. Just finished that essay that’s due in tomorrow. It was a tough topic!

Rob: Tell me about it. It took me ages. So, listen, I wanted to ask you about Netflix. You subscribe to it, don’t you?

Selma: I do, yes.

Rob: I’m thinking about signing up, but I wanted to get your view on it. Is it worth the money?

Selma: I really think it is, although I don’t know that everyone would agree with me. I’m a huge fan of crime series, so there’s nothing I love more than binge-watching a whole series in a day in my pijamas.

Rob: I keep reading about some really interesting films coming up on there – there was that Martin Scorsese film recently?

Selma: Oh yes, The Irishman. I haven’t seen it yet, but Jane loved it and said it was some of his best work. So, it’s on my list. But absolutely everything is covered. There’s Horror, Thrillers, Comedy, Cartoons, you name it. I’ve seen some really thought-provoking documentaries on there recently. There’s Saving Capitalism by Robert Reich which takes a really good look at the system we live in and its problems and then makes suggestions for how to fix it. I watched What The Health which looks at the links between the food industry and healthcare. I’ve had a lot of discussions with other students about that one.

Rob: Is there much music stuff on there?

Selma: Loads! Film from concerts, documentaries about Bowie, Oasis, Bob Dylan… you like Hip Hop, don’t you? There is a great series called Hip Hop Evolutionthat goes into how it all started. It’s fascinating. What I really like about Netflix though is because there’s such a huge audience, there’s a lot of representation of different groups in society. There are loads of foreign films, there’s LGBTQ themes, Black and Asian directors. Something for everyone. Did you hear about Squid Game?

Rob: Oh yeah, the Korean series?

Selma: Yes, it was brilliant and completely unlike anything you’d see over here.
