Use these tips to improve your IELTS speaking band score.

When we are preparing for our IELTS speaking part 2, we must make sure that we use connectors.

But what are connectors?

Connectors, also known as linking words or discourse markers, are words and phrases we use to connect our sentences.

For example, let’s imagine we’ve been given the subject of speaking about a member of our family that we get on well with.

It’s a good idea to introduce your speaking with a phrase like “Let’s begin” or “let’s make a start.” These are both connectors.

Secondly, use a variety of adverbs: actually, surprisingly, similarly, really, very, extremely, rarely, sometimes, never, always etc.

Thirdly, if you can, use an idiom. In the following example I used an idiom at the end. See if you can spot it.

Here is an example of the speaking part 2 exercise.

Let’s make a start.

Surprisingly, I get on really well with my sister. In fact, my sister is a really inspiring person. Actually, she’s younger than me. 

I find her inspiring because she’s a champion swimmer. I would never race her. She’s so fast. To be honest, she trains really hard, especially when she has to finish her homework and then go to the swimming pool as well.

Unfortunately, I don’t get to hang out with her very much, because she’s always busy. But when we do meet up, we always have fun. Usually we go shopping. Sometimes we play video games. 

My sister is extremely funny. She has a great sense of humour. We always have a laugh when we spend time together. We rarely argue. Mostly, we get on like a house on fire.

Please do the exercises and find the missing words.

The Global Professional Podcast

Quotes for a Global Mindset - EP 23

Professional networking is the strategic cultivation of relationships with individuals and groups within your industry or field. It goes beyond simply collecting business cards; it's about building genuine connections, fostering mutually beneficial exchanges, and creating a network that can support your professional growth.

The more you network, the more people you can potentially lean on when you need a professional favor. This can ultimately benefit you in your career and help you reach your professional goals.


Benefits of Professional Networking:

Career Advancement: Networking can open doors to new job opportunities through referrals, introductions, and increased visibility within your field.

Knowledge Sharing and Learning: Networking allows you to tap into the expertise and experiences of others. This includes learning about industry trends, best practices, and valuable insights that may not be readily available elsewhere.

Increased Visibility and Credibility: Actively engaging in professional networks helps you establish yourself as a thought leader within your industry. By sharing your knowledge and expertise, you build trust and credibility, enhancing your professional brand.

Finding Mentors and Allies: Through networking, you can connect with experienced professionals who can offer guidance and support as you navigate your career path. These mentors can provide valuable career advice, feedback, and encouragement.

Building Strategic Partnerships: Professional networks can lead to collaborations and partnerships with other businesses or individuals who share your goals or complement your skillset.
