Ep. 8 Intermediate : 早口言葉で大笑い | Laughed out loud at the tongue-twister.

Many IELTS candidates share a common problem: they run out of words after 30-40 seconds and lose their score with a long silence! 🤐💔

The name of this golden technique is "Time Travel" or PPF:
⏳ (Past - Present - Future)

How to execute:
Instead of just answering the questions on the card like a robot, spread your narrative across three time layers:

1. Past: The root of the topic, old memories, and how it used to be. 🔙
2. Present: Description of the current situation, main features, and your feelings now. 📍
3. Future: Your prediction, wishes, or the plan you have for that topic in the future. 🔜

Real and Tangible Example
Imagine the cue card topic is:
Describe a piece of technology you own

If you do not know the technique:
You just say you have a laptop, its brand is such-and-such, and you study with it. (Result: Your entire speech won't even last 40 seconds! ⏱️)

With the miraculous PPF technique:

Past: You say that before this laptop, you had an old and slow computer that always crashed in the middle of work and how much it frustrated you. 🥵

Present: Now you talk about your current laptop; how fast and up-to-date it is and how much it has made your life and studies easier. 💻

Future: You say that in the future, you plan to buy an external hard drive for it. 💾

Now listen to the practical version of the example above below.
