Speaking(IELTS example)

In this episode I talk through an idea I’ve been developing from my LinkedIn posts and from work with my Chinese IELTS students — the examiner’s eye. Lots of candidates can name the four IELTS writing criteria, but very few actually understand what they mean and how an examiner applys them. That gap explains a lot of 5.5–6.0 scores. So listen and hear how to close that gap...

I look at:
why template-heavy IELTS training produces flat, predictable essays
why “I know the criteria” is not the same as “I can apply the criteria”
how examiner perspective is formed over time and volume
how AI can be used to rehearse different band levels of the same task
This one is more theory than technique — it’s about thinking like an examiner before you start writing.

KEP 42: The Examiner’s Eye – Seeing IELTS the Way Examiners Do

Halo, Apa kabar semua! Bagaimana akhir minggu kalian?
Karena kemarin adalah hari libur, jadi saya santai di rumah, terus saya pergi berjalan-jalan ke mall. Saya hanya melihat-lihat di toko, untuk “cuci mata”. Kalian tahu arti kata “cuci mata”? Di Bahasa Inggris artinya “window shopping”, di Bahasa Jepang juga artinya sama ya, “ウィンドウショッピング. Menurut saya, kadang-kadang “cuci mata” itu penting, untuk membuat pikiran jadi ringan. 
Waktu pandemi satu tahun lalu, hobi saya bertambah satu, yaitu “cuci mata” di toko-toko online haha… Bagaimana dengan kalian? Kalian juga suka “cuci mata”? Ok, Hari ini sampai di sini ya! Sampai jumpa lagi! ^^

Akhir minggu

「教師（きょうし）」（＝先生）が「走る（はしる）」と書いて「師走（しわす）」と読みます。昔、12月をこう呼びましたが、今でも使われています。いつもは落ち着いている先生が走るくらい、忙（いそが）しい月だという意味です。今も昔も忙しいのは変わりません。なぜなら、12月は日本全国、そうじの季節だからです。本当にそうじしなければ、だめなんですって！日本人とそうじの、深（ふか）～い関係（かんけい）をご紹介（しょうかい）します。
