Tiene como protagonista a un ser denominado Madremonte o Madreselva, cuyo origen podría estar basado en las antiguas divinidades indígenas encargadas de preservar la naturaleza.

はい、こんにちは。今回はポッドキャストの30回目です。先週はアップロードする時間がありませんでした。少し忙しかったです。ついに30回です。前回お話しした、私がホストを務めるウェビナーの詳細が決まりました。日本時間で、6月20日の午前10時から10時45分までです。日本人の先生に向けた内容なので、スライドも会話も全て日本語です。興味のある人は、ぜひ参加してみてください。配信後はYoutubeで公開される予定なので、ライブじゃなくても別の日に見ることができます。

Hello. This is my podcast episode 30. I didn't have time to upload it last week. I was a bit busy. Finally, it's the 30th episode. The details of the webinar I told you about last time, which I will be hosting, have been finalised. It will be on 20 June from 10am to 10:45am Japan time. It is aimed at Japanese teachers, so all slides and conversations will be in Japanese. If you are interested, you are welcome to attend. It will be available on Youtube after the delivery, so you can watch it on another day other than on-air day.

今月でPatreonのアカウントを閉鎖することにしました。本当は続けたかったのですが、私生活も仕事も忙しくなってきたので、更新に十分な時間が取れません。ふりがなを表示するChromeのエクステンションを生徒さんに教えてもらったので、今後はウェブサイトでふりがなが見られるようにしたいと思います。いままでサポートしてくださった皆さん、本当にありがとうございました。

I have decided to close my Patreon account this month. I really wanted to continue, but my personal and professional life has become so busy that I don't have enough time to update it. I have learned from my students about a Chrome extension that displays furigana, so I hope to be able to see furigana on the website in the future. Thank you very much to everyone who has supported me until now.

30回なので、このポッドキャストを作ってきた思い出を振り返りたいと思います。このポッドキャストは、生徒さんのアイデアで始まりました。その時の私はまだコンデンサーマイクとオーディオインターフェイスを持っていなくて、ヘッドセットのマイクで録音していました。音質がすごく悪かったです。音質が悪いエピソード１〜４は、まだPatreonで聞くことができます。

3 Useful Phrases for the IELTS Speaking Test To Start Using!

 The IELTS Speaking test may seem challenging at first, but with proper preparation, achieving a band score of 8 to 9 is definitely within your reach. However, if you approach the interview unprepared, it is unlikely that you will meet your desired band score.

The IELTS Speaking test typically lasts for around 11-14 minutes and aims to evaluate your pronunciation, fluency, grammar, and vocabulary. It consists of three parts and follows an informal interview format between the examiner and the candidate.

What are Some Useful IELTS Interview Expressions?

1. Opening Statements
How you open your statements is your first opportunity to impress the examiner. Making a good first impression will boost your chance of getting a high band score!

Examples:

Today, I’d like to share with you about…
In this talk, I’m going to tell you how…
I want to tell you about…

2. Closing statements
The manner in which you end your statements plays a vital role in the IELTS speaking test too. It shows how fluent you are and how coherent your responses are!

Examples:

In conclusion…
To sum up…
To summarize

3. Beginning the Main Body of Your Speech 
Once you are asked a question or given a topic to talk about, be creative and use phrases and expressions that the examiner will find appealing!

Examples:

 First and foremost….
And why do I find it so appealing? It is, after all…
To begin with… 

While it is not advisable to memorize your answers word for word for the IELTS Speaking test, there are certain foundational elements that you can familiarize yourself with. Memorizing these elements will help you structure your responses effectively without sounding robotic or rehearsed, which is something you should avoid at all costs.

 With my experience in preparing thousands of students globally, you'll become fluent at expressing your ideas naturally in no time.
