A Must Skill To Have As An IELTS Speaking Performer! And For Corporate Employees. (read on, the gift is down the page)! 

This is my recording of preparing a student to succeed as an IELTS speaking taker.

Here are some transcribed ideas from the podcast:

1. Mindset is the key.

What you think about your success will dictate what you say, how you say it, it will influence your fluency, your grammar, your vocabulary!

It all starts off WITH YOU THINKING : "I AM A BRIGHT INDIVIDUAL'!

I am a bright individual,

I feel that I am a bright individual,

I possess the qualities of a bright individual.

I am the owner of being the bright individual.

2. How I prepared for the IELTS test and what I did to achieve 8.5 and then 9.0 in the speaking section?

3. You have the technical skill and the mindset skill.

4. Who are you competing with?

5. What were my other successes with this strategy in 2018 and in 2022?

6. The acceptance of ideas talked about and moving on to further preparation.

My student, I decided to share it with you because you cannot miss to go into IELTS or ANY ENDEVOIR  (job interview preparation, business English) without this CRUCIAL ELEMENT called the mindset!

Listen to it few times, let it germinate in you and if you want to take it further - grab the book called: The Magic Of Thinking Big By David Schwartz - you'll get business advices on how to succeed in the corporate world.

My students are presidents of companies, VPs of departments, business owners and they ALL share the same thing - what I talk about in the podcast.

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

EL PRIMER PRESIDENTE DE MÉXICO.

	

Vicente Guerrero asume la presidencia de la República.

Abril 1 de 1829
Recibe el poder ejecutivo de manos de Guadalupe Victoria, primer Presidente de México. Lo ha nombrado el Congreso tras anular unas elecciones en las que había resultado vencedor Manuel Gómez Pedraza y perdedor Vicente Guerrero. Pero cuyo resultado había sido impugnado con el argumento de que las votaciones habían sido hechas en los estados donde predominaban los conservadores. De esta impugnación había surgido el levantamiento armado llamado el motín de la Acordada, y Gómez Pedraza había renunciado al cargo y salido del país.

Guerrero trata de encargar a personas aptas el despacho de los asuntos de estado e integra su gabinete con: José María Bocanegra, secretario de Relaciones Interiores y Exteriores; Francisco Moctezuma, de Guerra y Marina; José Manuel de Herrera, de Justicia y Negocios Eclesiásticos y –buscando contemporizar intereses- nombra a Lorenzo de Zavala, de Hacienda; él mismo en su Ensayo Histórico confesará que su absoluta inexperiencia en éste ámbito le “hizo engolfarse en los mismo desastrosos contratos que con grande ardor había reprobado en sus antecesores”. Con estos nombramientos la posición de las logias se divide aun más cuando Anastasio Bustamante es nombrado vicepresidente; él por su extracción, carácter y educación, no puede ser amigo de los insurgentes ni de Guerrero.

Aparentemente el ascenso al poder de Guerrero se debe al apoyo popular, sin embargo, muy pronto la sociedad estará inquieta pues personas sin mérito aspirarán a obtener puestos ventajosos; la “gente decente” despreciará su ascendencia mulata, sus malos modales y su falta de educación; el clero –que había reducido los dogmas a prácticas vanas y fanáticas- sólo tratará de mantener sus posiciones y el ejército, acostumbrado a pelear y a ver con desprecio al grupo en el poder al que ha combatido, no sabrá ahora qué postura adoptar.

La opinión pública clamará por la...
