Are you stuck at IELTS 5.5 or 6.0? Tired of hearing the same advice but seeing no progress? In this episode, I break down the real reasons why your IELTS Speaking and Writing scores aren’t improving — and what you need to change today.

Having worked with hundreds of IELTS candidates, especially from China, I know the common mistakes:

Short, unnatural answers

Overly formal language

Repetitive vocabulary

Relying on memorized idioms instead of natural English

🚫 Why IELTS strategies alone won’t help
🚫 Why tips, templates, and endless mock tests aren't enough
✅ Why 200+ hours of active practice is the real key to moving from Band 6 to Band 7
✅ How authentic English practice and honest feedback will help you improve faster

What you'll learn in this episode:

The truth about IELTS progress (based on Cambridge research)

Why many candidates from China (and globally) misunderstand how IELTS works

How IELTS measures real-world communication skills, not your ability to memorize exam hacks

The mindset shift you need if you’re serious about Band 7+

「このお手々にちょうどいい手袋ください」
すると帽子屋さんは、おやおやと思いました。
狐の手です。狐の手が手袋をくれと言うのです。
これはきっと木の葉で買いに来たんだな
と思いました。そこで、
「先にお金をください」
と言いました。
子狐は すなおに、握って来た白銅貨を
二つ帽子屋さんに渡しました。
帽子屋さんはそれを人差指の さきにのっけて、
カチ合せて見ると、よい音がしましたので、
これは木の葉じゃない、ほんとのお金だ
と思いましたので、棚から子供用の毛糸の手袋を
とり出してきて子狐の手に持たせてやりました。
子狐は、お礼を言って
また、もと来た道を帰りはじめました。
