Histórias curtas em português básico

PHIL: What time is that soccer game on? I thought it started 
at noon.
JACK: We must have had the wrong time. Oh, well … soccer’s not my 
favorite sport anyway. I much prefer basketball.
PHIL: Oh, really? I thought your favorite sport was tennis! I’m a big
fan of basketball, too.
JACK: How about a game sometime?
PHIL: Sure thing! Why don’t we go shoot some hoops now since the 
soccer game isn’t on?
JACK: Excellent idea. Let’s go.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• What time is that soccer game on? means “When does the soccer game start?” 
“What time” plus something plus “on” is a common expression used to ask about the 
start time of a TV show or a movie.
• I much prefer basketball here means “I like basketball a lot more than soccer.” Notice 
how “much” is stressed to show that the speaker really likes basketball.
• Oh, really? Notice the rising intonation on “really.” This shows that the speaker is 
surprised. He thought that Jack liked tennis the best.
• I’m a big fan of basketball is a way of saying “I like basketball very much” (“to be a 
fan of” is a casual expression used to describe something you really like).
• How about a game here means “Let’s play a basketball game.”
• Sure thing! This is a casual expression used to mean “OK.”
• Shoot some hoops means to play an informal game of basketball. This is a casual 
expression used between friends

When you take your IELTS speaking test, how should you prepare for part 2? What is the best way to use the one minute you have to prepare? What is the best way to prepare? How should you use that 1 minute?

Firstly, think about the synonyms you could use. Paraphrasing is an important skill. For example, if the question asks you why did you like something, don’t say ‘I like it because’ but say, it’s my favorite because. And if the question asks you how old you were when you learned how to ride a bike, don’t say ‘I learned to ride a bike when I was a child’, but say, ‘I learned to cycle when I was a child.’ Also, if the examiner asks you if something is important, don’t say ‘I think it’s important,’ but say ‘I think it’s essential, or I think it’s vital.’

Use synonyms. Learn to paraphrase. And book a lesson with me so you can practice your IELTS speaking skills and get the band score you need.
