This podcast series gives you strategies to succeed on each part of the IELTS Speaking Exam. The three parts are very different from one another so you need to use strategies that are specific to each part. In this episode I look at the ways to succeed on Part 2 of the exam.

IELTS Speaking Success

IELTS Speaking Strategies 1 2 3 - Episode 3: Part 2 of the Speaking Exam

朋友们你们好！这一集我已经准备了一些自己非常喜欢的零食。它们是我学习汉语过程中的几条心得。我话就不多说了，我们边吃边学吧！


1）给自己定下小目标：
比如说：你每天都会学10分钟的汉语。听起来很短，才十分钟！不过如果你一年365天每天都全心全意地学10分钟，相信我，你会学到很多东西！

2）改变手机语言 ：
一开始，可能会有很多词语你看不懂，但是我们每天随时都要用手机，所以你慢慢会习惯的。

3）模仿本地人的发音和语气：
在看视频，看电视剧或者在听播客的时候，可以暂停一下，模仿他们说的每一句话。这是一个能帮助你练习自然口音的方法。我个人觉得特别有用！

4）自己录音：
学习时，可以录一下你说汉语的声音。这个方法有两个目的。首先，录完就可以自己听，然后跟母语者说的作比较。其次，学习了一段时间后，回头再听就可以感觉到你的进步，鼓励自己！

5）不要怕被笑话：
很多朋友担心自己说错，所以很少开口。你知道吗，你虽然会认识很多生词，但是如果你不说话，那些词你会很容易忘掉的。多多说话不但帮你说得更流利，而且也是学习和复习词语的一个好方式。

最后有一个小小的tip想跟你们分享一下。有不少朋友问了我，如果想轻松地跟中国朋友聊天那应该学习什么内容：我觉得只要是让你感兴趣的内容，你都可以去学。学自己喜欢的，这样会更有意思，学得更快！

希望我的那几个秘诀可以帮助大家提高自己的汉语水平，让你们学习的旅程更简单，更开心！
祝你们新的一年有新的开始，新的收获和成功！

وُلِدْتُ فِي مِيلاَن وَلَكِنْ لاَ أَتَذَكَّر البَيْت لِأَنَّنا رَحَلْنَا إِلَى كَانَازِي. كُنَّا نَسْكُن فِي بِنَايَة لَهَا سِتَّة طَوَابِق.
كُنَّا نَسْكُن في شَقَّة, الشَّقَّة كَانت فِي الطَّابِق الثَّالِث. الْبِنَايَة كَانَت فِي شارِع خَاصّ فِي قَرْيَة صَغِيرَة فِي الْجِبَال.  
الشَّقَّة كَانَ لَهَا ثَلاَث غُرَف وَحَمَّامَان. وَفِي كُلّ غُرْفَة النَّوم هُنَاك مَكان لِأَرْبَع أَشْخَاص, كُلَّ غُرْفَة النَّوم كَانَ لَها طَابِقَان مِثْلَ دُوبْلِكْس.
الدِيكُور كَان تَقْلِيدِي لِلْمِنْطَقَة الشَّمَالِيَّة الْجِبالِيَّة الإِيطَالِيَّة وَالألْمَانِيَّة. 
أَحْبَبْتُ الْمِنْطَقَة وَالشَّقَّة لِأَنَّهَا مُرِيحَة وَدَافِئَة. 
الْمِنْطَقَة مَشْهُورَة بِالتَّزَلُّج فِي الشِّتَاء وَالمَشْي عَلَى الْجِبال. هِيَ مِنْطَقَة مَلِيئَة بِالطَّبِيعَة مِثْلَ الْجِبَال وَالغَابَات.
ذِكْرَياتِي الْمُفَضَّلَة هِي التَّجَوُّل في الرِّيف خِلاَل الصَّيف مَع وَالِدَيّ.
كُنْتُ أَعْمَل فِي مَزْرَعَة خُيُول, وَكَانَ عُمْرِي إِثْنَا عَشَر سَنَة وَ كُنُتُ أُحِبُّ رُكُوب الْخَيْل.
الْقَرْيَة مَشْهُورَة بِالرِّيَاضَة المَوْسُمِيَّة 
أَظُنُّ أَنَّ أَكْبَر مُشْكِلَة هِيَّ أَنَّ الْجِبَال وَالْغَابَات مُتَأَثِّرَة بِالاِحْتِرَار الْعَالَمِي 
وَليس هناك حَلّ لِهَذِهِ الْمُشْكِلَة

Through coaching, individuals can develop resilience, the ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to change. 

A study published in the Journal of Management found that resilient employees are less likely to experience job insecurity.

Coaches help individuals understand their strengths, weaknesses, values, and motivations. This self-awareness empowers them to make informed career decisions.
