There are lots of reasons why libraries are still useful in the modern world, but also some reasons why they are less relevant in today's society.

Nick discusses both sides of this topic in today's podcast.

This will help you form opinions and ideas for the IELTS speaking and writing tests.

Are you “ticking the boxes” in your OET Speaking test but still stuck at a borderline score? In this episode, Kevin Dean (IELTS & OET teacher at theenglishnative.com
) breaks down the biggest OET Speaking mistake — failing to respond to the patient — and shows you exactly how to fix it.

Learn how to:

Identify and respond to patient cues (B1, B2, A4, E4)

Show empathy and gather more information naturally

Rotate your phrases to sound more like a real clinician

Avoid the “task checklist trap” that keeps candidates at C grade

This episode is packed with real examples from official OET role-plays, practical language you can use in your next test, and tips to sound like the kind of doctor or nurse patients want to visit.

Feel free to book a lesson or message me any time!

我这个胆小鬼！


我这个人呀，什么都好，就是胆子小。
夜里不敢一个人在家，上课不敢大胆发言，大家都叫我“ 胆小鬼”。 
在中国第一天上课时，我在心里暗下决心， 见了同学要问好。结果，我非常紧张 ， 嘴巴张了张想说话，可是嘴里像塞了一团棉花，怀里像揣了一只小兔子枰枰直跳，怎么也说不出话来，脸羞得通红，
头也不由自主地低了下去。

你们紧张的时候也跟我一样吗？
