みんなの日本語 Lesson 10

“都dōu”means “both/all”. The people or objects included are out before “都”.
For example：

tā men dōu xǐ huɑn hē chá 。 
他们都喜欢喝茶。

wǒ men dōu shì xué shenɡ 。 
我们都是学生。

每měi……都dōu……
In a sentence that contains the term “每”(every), usually “都” has to be inserted further along in the sentence, immediately in front of the verb.

tā měi tiān wǎn shɑnɡ dōu yù xí kè wén 。 
他每天晚上都预习课文。

wǒ měi jié kè dōu lái 。 
我每节课都来。

měi ɡè rén wǒ dōu rèn shí 。 
每个人我都认识。

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.
