Improving your IELTS Speaking score from a band 5 to a band 7 requires targeted practice in several key areas: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Here’s a breakdown of steps to take in each.

1. Enhance Fluency and Coherence: Band 5 speakers often struggle to speak fluidly and with clear connections between ideas. To improve, practice speaking on various topics for 1-2 minutes without pauses. Use transition words like "however," "on the other hand," or "in addition" to link ideas smoothly. Regular practice on platforms like language exchange apps can help.

2. Expand Vocabulary: Limited vocabulary often holds back Band 5 speakers. Aim to learn 5-10 new words daily, focusing on synonyms and expressions you can apply to multiple topics, such as work, travel, or family. Create mind maps on topics that frequently come up in IELTS, like "environment" or "technology," and practice speaking on each one.

3. Improve Pronunciation: Pronunciation errors are common at Band 5. Focus on getting each sound right, as well as on stress and intonation, to sound more natural. Listen to native speakers through podcasts or videos, and practice mimicking their tone and rhythm. Recording and replaying your responses is also helpful.

Master Grammar: A Band 7 requires control over complex sentence structures. Practice combining ideas into longer sentences using connectors like “although,” “since,” and “despite.” Working with a tutor or using grammar apps can help you understand and apply complex grammar structures correctly.

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私はいま日本を出て、

海外旅行(かいがいりょこう)をしています。

きのうは、トラブルがありました。

なんと、カフェでかばんを盗(ぬす)まれました。

盗まれる、つまり誰(だれ)かがかばんをもっていきました。

私の夫(おっと)のかばんが、なくなりました。

かばんの中には、カメラがはいっていました。

この旅行のために、買ったカメラです。

とても残念(ざんねん)です。

さいふやパスポートは、入っていませんでした。

スマホも大丈夫(だいじょうぶ)でした。

でも大切(たいせつ)なカメラとかばんが••。

盗まれたことに気づいて、警察(けいさつ)に行きました。

とても時間(じかん)がかかりました。

でも、警察の人は親切(しんせつ)で、元気になりました。

「私のさいふが盗まれました。」
「私のかばんがありません。たぶん盗れましれまた。」

といいます。

日本で、このフレーズをみなさんがつかうことがないことをねがっています。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだんです。

また明日。
