04. O uso dos PORQUÊS na língua portuguesa

Remember, if you want to score a band 7 in your IELTS speaking test, it’s important to use some less common idiomatic expressions.

The best place to slip these idioms into your speech is in part 2, because you have 1 minute to prepare. If you are a clever clogs, you will be able to sneak your idioms into your speech naturally. 

When preparing for your exam it’s best to always try to go the extra mile, because there is a lot to learn.

Firstly, you have to learn how to use linking phrases. To be honest, I have to admit these are sometimes tricky to remember. On the other hand, once you have learned them, they can be difficult to forget.

Secondly, you have to learn how to paraphrase, and use synonyms. It’s good to spend time in a thesaurus and arm yourself with lots of alternative words. If you do this you will gain ground. 

Thirdly, in order to avoid feeling lost at sea when you take your exam, make sure you have one or two idioms up your sleeve. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach an English student a new idiom. 

Now take the quiz that goes with this podcast, and book your IELTS mock speaking test with me.

AUDIO LIBRO nivel A1-A2  "La Chica del Tren"

How you tell a story matters. The way you talk about why you lost your job can cost you a potential one. The way you explain the reason for layoffs can cause panic among employees and stakeholders. And the way journalists report the news can incite violence. Framing, including word choice, is one of the most important areas peace journalists discuss and develop. To find out what business professionals could learn from peace journalists about storytelling, I invited Steven Youngblood, Director of the Center for Global Peace Journalism at Park University, for a conversation on The Express to Impress Podcast. Here are some excerpts from our conversation; “The question should never be, do we withhold the information? The question should be, how do we convey the information?” “If you want to be an informed person in 2022, it is going to take an effort. So the first thing I tell my students is not to depend on social media for their news. This, despite the fact that study data shows that's exactly where they get their news from.” Tune in to get more valuable insights from Steven, so you're well prepared to tell stories about challenging events.

Word Choice in Journalism and Business With Steven Youngblood

El episodio de esta semana es un poco diferente, en él vamos a practicar, como siempre, la comprensión auditiva, pero vamos a hacerlo de manera muy activa. Hoy te voy a leer un texto y luego te voy a hacer unas preguntas relacionadas con lo que hemos leído para ver si puedes responderlas correctamente. Así que vamos a practicar tu habilidad para escuchar y retener, recordar información en español. 

Como siempre, espero que disfrutes el episodio. Si es así, no te olvides de dejar a este podcast una valoración, y pásate por mi Instagram para decirme qué te ha parecido.

11. Ma la pasta fa ingrassare?

En el episodio de esta semana hablamos de comida. Y aunque los platos que menciono son muy comunes entre los españoles no son los platos típicos que los extranjeros asocian con España. 

¿Tienes curiosidad por saber de qué platos te hablo? Te cuento todo en el episodio.

Después de escucharlo no te olvides de dejar una valoración al podcast desde la plataforma donde lo estés escuchando. Además, me encantaría escuchar tus opiniones, ¿qué te ha parecido el episodio? ¿Conocías estos platos españoles? ¿Cuál es el que más te ha sorprendido?
