How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.

中学生時代の部活動

私は中学生の時、陸上部（りくじょう　ぶ）に所属（しょぞく）していた。入った理由は、私がクラスの女子の中で足が一番速く、友達に誘（さそ）われたからだ。練習を始めた種目（しゅもく）は、中距離（ちゅうきょり）の1500m走だ。
毎日放課後はトレーニングで6～10km（キロメートル）走り、土日も部活動に励（はげ）んでいた。足の爪（つめ）がよく内出血（ない　しゅっけつ）していたほどだ。いつも部活が終わるのは18時ごろで毎日ヘトヘトだったが、帰宅途中に友達とコロッケを買い食（ぐ）いするのが至福（しふく）のひと時だった。
