Today I took my first lesson here in italki. I’m preparing for my IELTS test, so my teacher Rumbi, who is a wonderful and very patient teacher, gave me a little test in speaking. After the test with the teacher’s advice, i realized my main problem is that I talked too little. Almost every topic I talked about was very short. The thing is I’m not good at speaking, even in my native language. Actually I’m more like a listener, and I didn’t think this was an issue for me until I realized how difficult it was for me to last a conversation. I have a friend who is a good speaker, and sometimes i was really surprised by her conversations about art. Her idea of pushing conversations going is really good. Rumbi also told me good ways to expand a topic like explaining and giving examples. Anyhow, practice makes perfect!(although I don’t have much time left for preparing my test 😅 )
