今日も朝からバタバタ。朝5時半に起きて、息子と夫のお弁当を作り、朝ごはんを作り、そして、息子と夫が起きてきて、朝ごはんを食べる。6時半に息子と夫が家を出ていく。慌（あわ）てて、「いってらっしゃい」と送り出す。
それから、娘を6時半に起こして、朝ごはんを娘と一緒に食べる。7時から、娘は計算ドリルと漢字の勉強をする。そのあと、少しピアノの練習をして、8時10分に「いってらっしゃい」と娘を送り出す。娘が学校に行くのと同時に、私はジョギングに出かける。30分ぐらいジョギングをして、家に戻る。それから、洗濯物をして、家の片づけをして、今日のitalkiのスケジュールをチェックする。これが、私の日課。

I have a busy morning as usual today. I get up at 5.30 am to make lunch for my son and husband and cook breakfast. During my cooking, my son and husband get up and eat breakfast. They leave home at 6.30 am. So, I rush to send them off and say 'Itterashai 「いってらっしゃい」'.
After sending two men, I wake my daughter up at 6.30am and eat breakfast with her. From 7am, she studies calculation drills and kanji characters. After that, she practise the piano a little and send her off at 8.10am with a ''. 「いってらっしゃい」. As soon as she leaves for school, I go for a jog, which takes about half an hour, and return home. Then I do the laundry, tidy up the house and check today's schedule on italki. This is my daily routine.

In order to get the band score you need in the IELTS speaking test it’s important to develop specific skills.

You will be aware that the speaking test is graded in four specific areas. Those areas are fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

In this podcast we’re going to talk about fluency. 

It’s important to use a range of discourse markers when taking your speaking test, so your speaking is fluent. Discourse markers are sometimes referred to as connecting words, or connecting phrases. For example, when answering the examiner’s questions you might say something like to be honest, or, in my opinion. These are two common discourse markers. Another connecting phrase you might use is, That’s an interesting question.

Let’s look at an example:

Let’s pretend the examiner asks you whether you are good at art. You might answer.

That’s a really good question. In my opinion, I am quite good at art. In fact, I really enjoy painting. To be honest, I think other people like my paintings too.

Now you try. I’m going to ask you a question, and you have to reply using these three discourse markers: To be honest / In my opinion / That’s a good question.

Are you ready for the question? Here it is: Are you ready for your IELTS test?
