EP 18. PRETERITO IMPERFECTO VS PRETERITO INDEFINIDO

If you want to achieve a band score six in IELTS you must show the ability to talk openly and freely. You are allowed to make mistakes and are not expected to speak perfect English. It is OK to hesitate, repeat yourself, or correct yourself if you think you have made a mistake. You will be able to use a range of connecting words.

Let’s look at those three skills in detail. First, let’s consider connecting words. connecting words are used to organize thoughts into words. For example, when we speak, we might say “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… I’d really like to have lessons. What connecting words did I use? Listen again: “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… You know, I’d really like to have lessons.” 
Did you hear the words well, however, and you know? These are connecting words. So, in your IELTS speaking, be sure to use connecting words. I have to admit, connecting words are not always used, because students don’t know too many.  To be honest, I think all students should practice using them. I’ve always believed that connecting words are a fantastic way to make sure you get a good speaking score in IELTS.

Did you hear three more connecting words? What were they? Correct: I have to admit, and to be honest, and I’ve always believed. Next time you have a conversation with your teacher, be sure to use To be honest, I have to admit and I’ve always thought. To be honest, I hope you choose me as your teacher. I have to admit, I enjoy teaching English. I’ve always believed that pratice makes perfect. See you!

CONNECTING WORDS

こんばんは！Atsushiです。
今日の天気は晴れ。
気温は13℃です。

ここ最近、慣用句シリーズを続けていたので、今回は他のトピックを話そうと思います。

日本もようやく個人旅行客などの入国が緩和されましたね！
ですので、北海道のオススメの旅行先について話します。
今日は登別温泉、というところです。

先日、奥さんが休みだったので、登別温泉に行ってきました。


登別温泉は自然に温泉が湧き出ている場所です。1分に3,000リットルも！湧き出ているそうです。すごいですよね。登別の地名の語源はアイヌ語で（白く濁った川・色の濃い川）を意味するといわれ、 古くから豊富に温泉が湧き出していました。そして1857年には温泉宿が建てられ、発展していきました。

そして、地獄谷というところがあってここが登別温泉の中で1番温泉が湧き出している場所です。なぜ地獄谷というかというと、景色がこの世のものとは思えないような景色だからです。まさに地獄のような場所、ということですね。それもあって、地獄谷には鬼の像がいくつかあります。ちょっと怖かったです。子供は泣きそうな気がします。

そして、少し歩くと、湧き出しているお湯が川のように流れているところがあります。ここでは、足湯といって、足だけ温泉につかるところがあります。

この足湯に浸かってきました。
温泉ほど熱くはなかったですが、あたたかくて気持ち良かったです。

日帰りでしたが、久しぶりにちょっと旅行のような時間をすごせたので、良かったです。

これから日本に旅行で来られる方も多くなると思いますので、時々、北海道の観光地について話しますね！

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！ではまた！
