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.

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.

Este es el último episodio de la serie “Especial Navidad”. Y en él hablo de la última celebración de las Navidades españolas. Probablemente la favorita de los niños, ya que es hoy cuando los españoles abrimos nueros regalos de Navidad. 

Y, por supuesto, tenemos cosas típicas de este día. Escucha el episodio para descubrir como celebramos los españoles el Día de Reyes.

ERROR-fe de erratas*-lo siento, en la grabación menciono que las rebajas empiezan mañana 8 de enero, pero por supuesto, hoy, Día de Reyes es 6 de enero, por lo tanto, mañana es 7 de enero, que es cuando empiezan cada año las rebajas. No el 8, mi error)
