Do you get nervous speaking when you do your IELTS exam? Not surprising – it can be a frightening experience and there is a lot to remember.
The best way to get over your fears and to build confidence is to practice and in this very special podcast Luana, from Brazil wanted to share her work with us on the Speaking confidence feedback pack so that YOU can benefit from listening to her and to the feedback she got from IELTS podcast.
This tutorial will focus on :
- Organising your task 2 using linking words
- What to do during that very short preparation time
- The importance of paraphrasing the question in Part 3 to get maximum scores in vocabulary
- The skill of using ‘concession’ phrases to acknowledge or address the opposite opinion.
Get ready, watch out for the listening vocab challenge you will be set and so you can practice on your own as well.
