Culture is quite a general topic that could come up in a number of different parts of the IELTS test, so it's useful to be able to talk about it. Today, Nick gives you some ideas for this topic.

IELTS with Nick - World Knowledge 

Do you think the world is becoming too similar in terms of culture?

¿Cuántas cosas creéis que se pueden aprender con una canción? ¡Hoy lo vamos a descubrir!

¿A que no sabéis quién es mi cantante favorita? ¡LA ROSALÍA!

Es una cantante española, muy joven, actual, moderna, y con su canción “Malamente” hoy vamos a aprender muchas cosas diferentes. ¿Estáis listos? ¡Allá vamos!

Empezamos por el título de la canción: “MALAMENTE”
¿Qué significa esta palabra? Y, sobre todo, muchos se preguntan: ¿es una palabra correcta?

¡Sí! Es una palabra correcta.

En español tenemos la palabra “MAL”.

Por ejemplo, la utilizamos para decir:

«Es que todo lo hago mal».

Pero, la Real Academia de la lengua Española nos dice que, “malamente”, aunque se utiliza poco, es correcto.

Un bocado de español

Subtitled Italian

Season 01 / Episode 14 - Food etiquette in Italy

Clara, a brilliant data analyst with a mind for numbers, walked into my office looking like a storm cloud. Networking events were her kryptonite. "I freeze up," she confessed, "Small talk? Forget it! I just stand there awkwardly, feeling like a total outsider."

Clara's shyness was hindering her career. Her analytical skills were top-notch, but promotions often went to colleagues who could "schmooze" with decision-makers. I knew I could help.

Our first step was reframing networking. Instead of a dreaded chore, we saw it as an opportunity to connect with people who shared her passion for data. We practiced "elevator pitches" - concise introductions highlighting her expertise. We focused on open-ended questions, like "What's the biggest data challenge you're facing?" to spark engaging conversations.

Next, we tackled the "shy freeze." Role-playing helped Clara practice making eye contact, smiling warmly, and using active listening techniques like nodding and acknowledging what the other person said. We even practiced "exit strategies" - polite ways to excuse herself from a conversation when she felt overwhelmed.

The turning point came when I suggested Clara volunteer at a data analysis conference.  She'd be interacting with people who shared her interests, but in a less intimidating setting.  It worked! Clara's passion for data analysis shone through, and she ended up having stimulating conversations with attendees.

The next networking event was a different story. Armed with her practiced pitch and newfound confidence, Clara actively approached people, discussed data trends, and even shared a few insights herself. She even left with a business card from a potential mentor!

Today, Clara is a networking pro.  She still gets nervous, but she no longer lets shyness hold her back.  Clara's story proves that anyone can become a confident networker with the right tools and a supportive coach.
