IELTS 85 Speaking

Talk about your hometown - IELTS speaking part 1

LAYLA: Thanks for meeting with me during your lunch hour. I 
appreciate it.
MONICA: No problem. I’m happy to help. What’s going on?
LAYLA: Oh you know, the usual. Should I take this new job? Or do I 
stick with my current one?
MONICA: Well, I think it’s time for a change, don’t you? They pay you late 
and you are unhappy.
LAYLA: Do you really think so?
MONICA: I know so. And I’ve been listening to you complain for over a 
year now. Trust me. Take the job. What do you have to lose?



LANGUAGE NOTES
• In formal conversation, giving advice is often suggested through modals: ought to/ 
should / could / If I were you. In informal conversations people tend to use words such 
as I think that/ I feel that/ in my opinion.
• Listen for the emphasis on I know so and Trust me. These common phrases can be 
used to convey both positive and negative emotions. “I know so” conveys a deep belief 
or certainty. “To know” shows more certainty than “to think.”
• Notice the use of command forms: Take the job. /Trust me./ Go for it! The command 
form can be used to gently persuade someone

Success Builds Confidence - Level Up Your Career! Episode 403.

Elevating your communication skills in today’s globalized workplace isn’t merely a suggestion; it’s a necessity. If your goal is to be heard, to be noticed, and to truly excel, mastering effective communication is the pathway to take.

In this episode, I’ll share practical examples of how to build your “small victory bank” by offering a fresh perspective on improving your communication skills.

The principles are straightforward, but the challenge often lies in consistent application – a challenge that leads to self-criticism (a topic we’ll also explore in this episode).

Don’t delay! Let’s dive in and start building your confidence through your achievements. Remember, you already possess the potential for success!
