莲花架下的奶葡萄

En este episodio les cuento muchas cosas buenas que hay en Argentina, que no suele haber en otros países latinoamericanos, como la educación y la salud pública y gratuita, para cualquier persona, sea del país que sea, con o sin documentos o seguros de salud. La salud y la educación son un derecho, no un privilegio. Y muchas otras cosas lindas... Espero que les guste, hasta la próxima!

When you take your IELTS speaking test, how should you prepare for part 2? What is the best way to use the one minute you have to prepare? What is the best way to prepare? How should you use that 1 minute?

Firstly, think about the synonyms you could use. Paraphrasing is an important skill. For example, if the question asks you why did you like something, don’t say ‘I like it because’ but say, it’s my favorite because. And if the question asks you how old you were when you learned how to ride a bike, don’t say ‘I learned to ride a bike when I was a child’, but say, ‘I learned to cycle when I was a child.’ Also, if the examiner asks you if something is important, don’t say ‘I think it’s important,’ but say ‘I think it’s essential, or I think it’s vital.’

Use synonyms. Learn to paraphrase. And book a lesson with me so you can practice your IELTS speaking skills and get the band score you need.
