Improving your IELTS Speaking score from a band 5 to a band 7 requires targeted practice in several key areas: fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Here’s a breakdown of steps to take in each.

1, Enhance Fluency and Coherence: 

Band 5 speakers often struggle to speak fluidly and with clear connections between ideas. To improve, practice speaking on various topics for 1-2 minutes without pauses. Use transition words like "however," "on the other hand," or "in addition" to link ideas smoothly. Regular practice on platforms like language exchange apps can help.

2. Expand Vocabulary: 

Limited vocabulary often holds back Band 5 speakers. Aim to learn 5-10 new words daily, focusing on synonyms and expressions you can apply to multiple topics, such as work, travel, or family. Create mind maps on topics that frequently come up in IELTS, like "environment" or "technology," and practice speaking on each one.

3. Improve Pronunciation: 

Pronunciation errors are common at Band 5. Focus on getting each sound right, as well as on stress and intonation, to sound more natural. Listen to native speakers through podcasts or videos, and practice mimicking their tone and rhythm. Recording and replaying your responses is also helpful.

4. Master Grammar: 

A Band 7 requires control over complex sentence structures. Practice combining ideas into longer sentences using connectors like “although,” “since,” and “despite.” Working with a tutor or using grammar apps can help you understand and apply complex grammar structures correctly.

이번 에피소드에서는 한국의 나이 계산법에 대해 이야기해요. 새해만 되면 한 살 더 먹던 연 나이에서 생일 기준으로 나이를 계산하는 만 나이로 바뀐 이야기를 나눠요. 빠른년생이라는 재미있는 개념과, 열두 띠를 통해 나이를 추측하는 한국식 대화법도 소개할게요.

In this episode, we chat about Korea’s age system—how everyone used to turn a year older on January 1st (연 나이) and how it’s changed to the international method (만 나이). We’ll also dive into the fun concept of 빠른년생 (early-born students) and how Koreans use the 12 zodiac animals (열두 띠) to guess someone’s age.
