Ventajas de aprender un nuevo idioma 

La leyenda de La Candileja proviene de las zonas rurales de Colombia y cuenta la historia de un espíritu que aparece en forma de tres bolas de fuego brillantes y ardientes. Según la tradición, La Candileja es el alma de una abuela que malcrió a sus nietos, permitiendo que fueran crueles y malvados. Como castigo, fue condenada a vagar por los caminos, atormentando a quienes se cruzan en su camino.

La Candileja se presenta como una luz brillante que flota en el aire, moviéndose rápidamente de un lado a otro, persiguiendo a los viajeros que se atreven a andar solos por las noches. A veces, aparece con un sonido espeluznante y otras simplemente los deja desorientados, perdidos en la oscuridad. Muchos dicen que si alguien es alcanzado por estas llamas, puede quemarse sin remedio.

Para protegerse de La Candileja, algunos campesinos aconsejan llevar consigo una rama de sauce o encender una fogata, ya que la luz del fuego puede hacer que el espíritu se aleje.

秋（あき）のスイーツビュッフェに行（い）ってきた

先日（せんじつ）、友達（ともだち）とホテルビュッフェに行ってきた。その名（な）も「いもくりなんきん」ビュッフェ！
秋の味覚（みかく）である「芋（いも）・栗（くり）・南瓜（なんきん）」のスイーツを楽（たの）しめる食（た）べ放題（ほうだい）だ。今（いま）までホテルのビュッフェには何度（なんど）か行ったことがあったが、「いもくりなんきん」ビュッフェには行ったことがなかった。なぜなら私（わたし）は「いもくりなんきん」はそこまで好物（こうぶつ）ではなかったからだ。でも今回（こんかい）友達に誘（さそ）われて行ってみると、びっくり！「芋・栗・南瓜」たちは美（うつく）しく、美味（おい）しいスイーツに姿（すがた）を変（か）え、私たちの目（め）も舌（した）も魅了（みりょう）した。

Common mistakes made by English Language Learners Part 5: Countable and Uncountable Nouns

In part 2 of your IELTS test you have to speak on a topic for 2 minutes. Here are three things you should do in your one minute preparation time. 

1.Make a note of synonyms. Paraphrasing is an important skill to master when taking your IELTS exam. In fact, if you want to score a band score 6, you have to be able to generally paraphrase successfully. If you want a band score 7, you have to be able to paraphrase effectively. 

2. Think about idioms. Idioms are very important if you want to score above band score 6. To get band score 7, you have to use some less common idiomatic expressions. That’s a tricky thing to wrap your head around. Using idioms are extremely important. If you use idioms more than once in a blue moon, you will have a greater chance of achieving a band score 7. This is just a stab in the dark, but I expect most students would like to achieve a band score 7.

3. Think about connectives - linking words. Discourse markers are also important and will help you to move through the subheadings on your card smoothly and effortlessly. Phrase like “Now let me tell you about” or “Now I’d like to explain why…” or “let me tell you the reason why I….” will make your English speaking sound natural and fluent.

Don’t forget to book a lesson with me so I can help you achieve the band score you need.
