Oggi impariamo insieme una nuova parola "VALANGA", e scopriamo il suo duplice significato.

🇮🇹 ITALIANO IN PILLOLE

📝 VALANGA

In part 2 of your IELTS test you have to speak on a topic for 2 minutes. Here are three things you should do in your one minute preparation time. 

1.Make a note of synonyms. Paraphrasing is an important skill to master when taking your IELTS exam. In fact, if you want to score a band score 6, you have to be able to generally paraphrase successfully. If you want a band score 7, you have to be able to paraphrase effectively. 

2. Think about idioms. Idioms are very important if you want to score above band score 6. To get band score 7, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions. That’s a tricky thing to wrap your head around. Using idioms are extremely important. If you use idioms more than once in a blue moon, you will have a greater chance of achieving a band score 7. This is just a stab in the dark, but I expect most students would like to achieve a band score 7.

3. Think about connectives - linking words. Discourse markers are also important and will help you to move through the subheadings on your card smoothly and effortlessly. Phrase like “Now let me tell you about” or “Now I’d like to explain why…” or “let me tell you the reason why I….” will make your English speaking sound natural and fluent.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me so I can help you achieve the band score you need.

BOB: We’d like two tickets for the 3:30
show, please.
TICKET SALES: Here you go. Enjoy the movie!
[Inside the theater]
BOB: Would you mind moving over one,
so my friend and I can sit together?
WOMAN: No, not at all.
BOB: Thanks a lot!



LANGUAGE NOTES
• The 3:30 show Movies are shown at different times throughout the day. This refers to 
the movie that starts at 3:30. Notice the emphasis on 3:30.
• Enjoy the movie! Notice how the intonation rises on movie. This is said in a friendly 
way, and is followed by an exclamation point.
• Would you mind is a polite way to ask “Can you do something for me?” Notice the 
verb ends in “-ing.” Compare this structure to “Would you mind if I” plus a verb that 
ends in “-ed” (Would you mind if I opened the window?).
• Moving over one Here “one” is short for “one seat.”
• No, not at all is a way of saying “No, I don’t mind” or “I will be glad to.” Notice the 
answer to “Would you mind” is in the negative form.
