Welcome to The Age of Humans - an open door into the past and the future and far away lands, the door through which all of that spills into your everyday life while you’re having a cup of coffee, commuting, running, fishing or whatever crazy stuff you’re into. But who are we and what will you get from listening to us? We're a couple of friends interested in the culture of us, humans. Think anything from geography to technology, from history to futurism. We produce this podcast as an excuse to learn about Languages and Communication, and for you - the tool to do it. Follow us for new episodes and check out our social media accounts at ageofhumans.

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?
