Reading Comprehension Techniques: How to Understand and Analyze English Texts

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.

道後温泉は、愛媛県(えひめけん)にある
とても有名(ゆうめい)な温泉です。

日本最古(にほんさいこ)の温泉と言われています。

日本最古とは、日本でいちばん古い
という意味です。

なんと、3000年前(さんぜんねんまえ)
からあるそうです。

昔(むかし)の有名な人、
聖徳太子(しょくとくたいし)や、
夏目漱石(なつめそうせき)が、
道後温泉に来たことがあるそうです。

すごいですねぇ‥！

みなさん、スタジオジブリの
"千と千尋の神隠し"という
映画(えいが)を知っていますか？

英語の名前と、日本語の名か前は全然(ぜんぜん)ちがいますが‥
この"千と千尋の神隠し"の
モデルのひとつとなった場所が、
道後温泉です。

建物(たてもの)は
とても魅力的(みりょくてき)でした。

温泉は、やわらかいお湯で、
肌がしっとりとしましたよ。

ご飯もおいしかったです。

道後温泉の話はまたしたいと思います。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。

13. 日本最古の温泉(にほんさいこのおんせん)/Japaneseだんだんpodcast

People have been building boats for at least 10,000 years, making them one of the oldest types of transportation. They're a big part of history, which is why there are many expressions about boats.

If you have the same problems or are in the same situation as someone else, you can say you are "in the same boat." This expression comes from the fact that people on the same boat are all affected if the boat gets into trouble while at sea.

For example, if your friend told you they had lost their job, and you had also lost your job, you could say "Looks like we're in the same boat — I lost my job too!"

If a person is doing something too much or in an extreme way, you can say they are "going overboard" with it. This expression comes from the 1600s when boats were mostly made of wooden boards, and going overboard meant falling into the water.

So if your friend kept calling the same company to ask for a job, you could say, "Don't go overboard! If you keep calling them they won't hire you."

If someone misses out on something, especially because they were late or too slow, you can say they have "missed the boat." This expression refers to being late to board a boat that departed at a specific time.

So your friend might say, "I just want to make sure I'm the first person they call when they're hiring. I don't want to miss the boat!"
