IELTS with Nick - World Knowledge 

Do people need advice when making big decisions? 

Think of a time when your friend wanted to buy something, but you didn't like it. What did you say to him/her? 
Listen to this conversation:
Louise: Here is the dress I love. What do you think? Does it look ok on me?
Zoe: Well I'm not sure. 
Louise: Why what's wrong with it?
Zoe: I don't think it suits you. It's a bit short. Why don't you try this black one?

How do you improve your IELTS band score. In this podcast I’m going to give you 1 simple strategy to help you get the band score you need.

The technique I’m going to teach you is paraphrase. Yes, paraphrasing is very important, and it’s something that IELTS examiners listen out for. In the IELTS band descriptors you will see that you can not get a band score 6 or 7 unless you can paraphrase effectively.

Let me give you an example.

Let’s say in part 1 the examiner asks you about your hometown and asks you this question: Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?

You should answer the question by choosing a synonym for foreigners, for example, tourists.

You could also choose a synonym  for destination, for example visit.

So, when the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer like this:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown. 

So, you’ve answered the question using paraphrase.

Instead of foreigners you said tourists and instead of destination, you said visit.

Let me teach you again. If the examiner asks you “Is your hometown a popular destination for foreigners?” you could answer:

Yes, many tourists visit my hometown.

English Sayings for Everyday Conversations

DONDE FESTEJAR 3.

Si hay algo que ha maravillado a locales y viajeros, es el Centro Histórico de Ciudad de México donde se encuentra, por un lado, el Palacio Nacional, la Catedral Metropolitana al frente y al fondo, los vestigios del Imperio Azteca. Llegar a cada uno de ellos es algo muy sencillo, ya que tan sólo los separan unos cuantos metros, por lo que solo necesitarás de tiempo y ganas para conocer su historia.
 
Antes del whatsapp, el correo electrónico, el fax o el telegrama, el servicio postal era la principal vía de comunicación. Muchas personas se mantuvieron en contacto y esperanzadas de recibir noticias desde prácticamente cualquier parte del mundo, gracias a este sistema. México, “Ciudad de los Grandes Palacios” y su auge porfirista de principios del Siglo XX, no podían quedarse atrás. Así fue como se mandó construir un Palacio Postal en el número 1 de la calle de Tacuba.
 
Si conoces la capital mexicana, recordarás de inmediato el edificio, pero si es tu primera vez por el rumbo, estamos seguros de que lo has visto antes. Su fachada de Cantera de Chiluca es inconfundible y elegante. Pero, la opulencia no termina ahí, continúa al interior, donde su mármol italiano y revestimientos en bronce te invitarán a mandar una carta como a la vieja usanza, porque efectivamente sus servicios continúan en operación.
 
Continuando por la zona, pero cruzando el Eje Central Lázaro Cárdenas, se localiza el Palacio de Bellas Artes, un recinto cultural que alberga exposiciones temporales y permanentes de pintura y escultura. Su teatro es tan versátil que ha sido escenario de conciertos de la Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional, Ópera y danza clásica, así como de presentaciones de cantantes como Juan Gabriel, quien supo ganarse un lugar en el preciado sitio.
 
Si avanzas por dentro de la Alameda Central te encontrarás con el Hemiciclo a Juárez, con su deslumbrante color blanco, cortesía del mármol de Carrara con el que fue hecho. Puedes mirarlo de cerca para observar cada uno...
