Mastering the Art of Professional Phone Calls

In this 3-minute-41-second episode, we explore a common but often invisible issue many learners face during high-pressure English situations: the moment your confidence drops and you suddenly feel smaller when you switch languages. 

I break down why this happens from an identity perspective rather than a language one, and I explain a simple three-step framework—Deprogram, Design, Deploy—that helps you regain presence under pressure. 

You’ll also hear a short real-world example of how a learner shifted from panic to clarity by adjusting her internal role, not her vocabulary. 

This episode is a calm, practical look at how your mindset shapes your communication in English.

なので、主食はパンになりました。

お米も食べます。でも、日本のお米とはちょっとちがいます。

料理(りょうり)するのが、むずかしいです。

なので、パンやパスタをよく食べます。

In order to get the band score you need in the IELTS speaking test it’s important to develop specific skills.

You will be aware that the speaking test is graded in four specific areas. Those areas are fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

In this podcast we’re going to talk about fluency. 

It’s important to use a range of discourse markers when taking your speaking test, so your speaking is fluent. Discourse markers are sometimes referred to as connecting words, or connecting phrases. For example, when answering the examiner’s questions you might say something like to be honest, or, in my opinion. These are two common discourse markers. Another connecting phrase you might use is, That’s an interesting question.

Let’s look at an example:

Let’s pretend the examiner asks you whether you are good at art. You might answer.

That’s a really good question. In my opinion, I am quite good at art. In fact, I really enjoy painting. To be honest, I think other people like my paintings too.

Now you try. I’m going to ask you a question, and you have to reply using these three discourse markers: To be honest / In my opinion / That’s a good question.

Are you ready for the question? Here it is: Are you ready for your IELTS test?
