IELTS Preparation. Band 8-9 Answers. Part 3 - Photography. Question 2.

When you take your IELTS speaking test, how should you prepare for part 2? What is the best way to use the one minute you have to prepare? What is the best way to prepare? How should you use that 1 minute?

Firstly, think about the synonyms you could use. Paraphrasing is an important skill. For example, if the question asks you why did you like something, don’t say ‘I like it because’ but say, it’s my favorite because. And if the question asks you how old you were when you learned how to ride a bike, don’t say ‘I learned to ride a bike when I was a child’, but say, ‘I learned to cycle when I was a child.’ Also, if the examiner asks you if something is important, don’t say ‘I think it’s important,’ but say ‘I think it’s essential, or I think it’s vital.’

Use synonyms. Learn to paraphrase. And book a lesson with me so you can practice your IELTS speaking skills and get the band score you need.

Il podcast del modenese!

Live riflessioni: perché si dice così?

Ysidore, le fier
Ysidore, le coq, se prend pour le roi ! Son cocorico réveille tout le monde ! Pendant la journée, il se promène d’un air fier et surveille les poules.
- Poule grise, fais ceci ; poule blanche, ne fait pas cela ! Il donne des ordres sans cesse.
Un jour, toutes les poules ont décidé de se cacher dans la niche du chien.
Ysidore les a cherchées partout. Plus de poules à commander, que faire ?
Alors il a donné un coup de bec à Grognon, le chat, qui dormait au soleil.
- Lève-toi, gros paresseux, dit-il !
Grognon s’est dressé et, d’un coup de patte, lui a arraché la queue !
Honteux, Ysidore s’est caché dans un coin. Depuis, les poules se promènent sans crainte dans la cour de la ferme.
