एकपटक चतुरे कामको खोजीमा हिँड्यो। ऊ घुम्दै फिर्दै राजदरबारमा पुग्यो। संयोगबस उसले दरबारमा काम पायो। सजिलैसँग काम पायो, त्यो त राम्रै भयो; तर काम थियो तबेलाको। चतुरेले तबेलाकै भएपनि काम गर्न मन्जुर गर्यो किनभने उसले कहिल्यै राजालाई देखेको थिएन । उसको राजालाई देख्ने धोको थियो । 
चतुरेको सोचाइ थियो दरबारमा काम गरे राजालाई सजिलै देख्न पाइन्छ। तर संयोग मिलेन, महिनौ काम गर्दा पनि उसले राजालाई देख्न पाएन ।...............................................................

Norcasia

“Well, as I’m still a uni  student, doing things on the cheap is something I've had to learn over the last few years, and just the weekend before last, myself and my 2 best mates had a really wonderful day out that cost next to nothing.




It was a bank holiday weekend, and we really wanted to have a special day out, as the weather forecast was perfect, and we really needed to get away from our studies. 




To do anything in the city, especially during a holiday weekend, always costs a lot of money, and as we were flat broke,  we decided to look for somewhere to go outside of the city. One of the guys came up with the idea of riding our bikes to a very beautiful park and lake, about 15 km outside of the city. 




We all agreed it would be a great idea, and each chipped in some cash, so we could buy some nice food in the local supermarket, as there is a barbeque area in the park which is free to use.
It turned out to be a really wonderful and special day, and was as cheap as chips, as riding our bikes meant there was no transport cost, and entry to the park was actually free. I think in total we spent about 24 dollars on the food between the three of us, and it really goes to show that it’s still possible to have a really special day out that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

If you want to achieve a band score six in IELTS you must show the ability to talk openly and freely. You are allowed to make mistakes and are not expected to speak perfect English. It is OK to hesitate, repeat yourself, or correct yourself if you think you have made a mistake. You will be able to use a range of connecting words.

Let’s look at those three skills in detail. First, let’s consider connecting words. connecting words are used to organize thoughts into words. For example, when we speak, we might say “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… I’d really like to have lessons. What connecting words did I use? Listen again: “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… You know, I’d really like to have lessons.” 
Did you hear the words well, however, and you know? These are connecting words. So, in your IELTS speaking, be sure to use connecting words. I have to admit, connecting words are not always used, because students don’t know too many.  To be honest, I think all students should practice using them. I’ve always believed that connecting words are a fantastic way to make sure you get a good speaking score in IELTS.

Did you hear three more connecting words? What were they? Correct: I have to admit, and to be honest, and I’ve always believed. Next time you have a conversation with your teacher, be sure to use To be honest, I have to admit and I’ve always thought. To be honest, I hope you choose me as your teacher. I have to admit, I enjoy teaching English. I’ve always believed that pratice makes perfect. See you!
