👻 Diálogo: Atrapados en una Casa Embrujada 🕯️

Marcos: Sofía… dime que solo es mi imaginación, pero… ¿escuchaste eso?

Sofía: ¡Shhh! Sí… se escuchó como un susurro.

Marcos: ¡Te dije que no debíamos entrar a esta casa!

Sofía: ¡Pero dijiste que no creías en fantasmas!

Marcos: ¡Bueno, ahora no estoy tan seguro!

Sofía: Tranquilo… seguramente es el viento… o un animal.

Marcos: ¿El viento? ¡Sofía, estamos dentro y todas las ventanas están cerradas!

Sofía: Ok… sí, tienes razón. Tal vez fue… ¡AHHH!

Marcos: ¡¿Qué pasó?! ¡¿Qué viste?!

Sofía: La puerta… se cerró sola.

Marcos: ¡No puede ser! ¿Y si intentamos abrirla?

Sofía: ¡No se mueve! ¡Está bloqueada!

Marcos: Genial… estamos atrapados en una casa embrujada.

Sofía: Espera… ¿viste esa sombra moverse por el pasillo?

Marcos: ¡No quiero mirar!

Sofía: Tenemos que salir de aquí. Busquemos otra salida.

Marcos: Ok, pero si un fantasma me toca, te juro que te dejo aquí.

Sofía: ¡Jajaja! No me hagas reír ahora… ¡Corramos!

Remember, if you want to score a band 7 in your IELTS speaking test, it’s important to use some less common idiomatic expressions.

The best place to slip these idioms into your speech is in part 2, because you have 1 minute to prepare. If you are a clever clogs, you will be able to sneak your idioms into your speech naturally. 

When preparing for your exam it’s best to always try to go the extra mile, because there is a lot to learn.

Firstly, you have to learn how to use linking phrases. To be honest, I have to admit these are sometimes tricky to remember. On the other hand, once you have learned them, they can be difficult to forget.

Secondly, you have to learn how to paraphrase, and use synonyms. It’s good to spend time in a thesaurus and arm yourself with lots of alternative words. If you do this you will gain ground. 

Thirdly, in order to avoid feeling lost at sea when you take your exam, make sure you have one or two idioms up your sleeve. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach an English student a new idiom. 

Now take the quiz that goes with this podcast, and book your IELTS mock speaking test with me.

他专心地看着，随后又说：“我不要，这只羊已经病得很重了。给我重新画一只。”
He looked at it carefully, then he said:“No. This sheep is already very sickly. Make me another.”

我又画了起来。
So I made another drawing.
我的这位朋友天真可爱地笑了，并且客气地拒绝道：
My friend smiled gently and indulgently.

你看，你画的不是小羊，是头公羊，还有犄角呢。
“You see yourself,” he said, “that this is not a sheep. This is a ram. It has horns.”
于是我又重新画了一张。
So then I did my drawing over once more.

这副画同前几副一样又被拒绝了。
But it was rejected too, just like the others.
这一只太老了。我想要一只能活得很长的羊。
This one is too old. I want a sheep that will live a long time.

我不耐烦了。因为我急于要检修发动机，
By this time my patience was exhausted, because I was in a hurry to start taking my engine apart.
于是就草草画了这张画，并且匆匆地对他说道：
So I tossed off this drawing. And I threw out an explanation with it.
这是一只箱子，你要的羊就在里面。
This is only his box. The sheep you asked for is inside.


这时我十分惊奇地看到我的这位小评判员喜笑颜开。他说：
I was very surprised to see a light break over the face of my young judge:


这正是我想要的，你说这只羊需要很多草吗？
That is exactly the way I wanted it! Do you think that this sheep will have to have a great deal of grass?
为什么问这个呢？
Why?
因为我那里地方非常小
Because where I live everything is very small.
我给你画的是一只很小的小羊，地方小也够喂养它的。
“There will surely be enough grass for him,” I said. “It is a very small sheep that I have given you.”
他把脑袋靠近这张画。“并不像你说的那么小。瞧！它睡着了”
He bent his head over the drawing:“Not so small that– Look! He has gone to sleep.


就这样，我认识了小王子。
And that is how I made the acquaintance of the little prince.
