I left Canada to teach English in the Czech Republic in 1995. There are three chapters that cover my experience there which include meeting my first wife. Ten years later, I was in India on a new teaching job getting divorced. I met and dated Marta.

Hey Guys,  this is Chinese teacher Cara, welcome to my Channel,  you’re listening a B1 lesson.
今天为大家朗读的是一篇短文，题目是：美国人如果应对旅游旺季？
美国有很多出行旺季 peak season。最高峰的季节在十一月底，也就是感恩节期间。十二月底到一月初也有很多人出行。当然了，夏季从六月到八月的学校暑假也是旅行季节。

那么美国人怎么出行呢？短途旅行的话，开车是最常见的选择。如果开车得八小时以上，搭乘飞机则是最常见的方式，边开边玩的公路旅行 road trip 也很受欢迎。

有趣的是，在美国，火车票通常比机票更贵，虽然坐火车比飞机慢得多。比如说，从旧金山到纽约，搭乘飞机只需要不足到六小时，如果选择坐火车或坐汽车，同样的旅程需要超过三天，而且费用比飞机票更贵。

你喜欢旅行吗？你今年计划去哪里旅行呢？Please let me know in a comment or we can talk about it in the class, Thanks for listening.我们下次节目再见。

Calidad y Cualidad 🥇⭐[Capítulo 27]

In order to get the band score you need in the IELTS speaking test it’s important to develop specific skills.

You will be aware that the speaking test is graded in four specific areas. Those areas are fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

In this podcast we’re going to talk about fluency. 

It’s important to use a range of discourse markers when taking your speaking test, so your speaking is fluent. Discourse markers are sometimes referred to as connecting words, or connecting phrases. For example, when answering the examiner’s questions you might say something like to be honest, or, in my opinion. These are two common discourse markers. Another connecting phrase you might use is, That’s an interesting question.

Let’s look at an example:

Let’s pretend the examiner asks you whether you are good at art. You might answer.

That’s a really good question. In my opinion, I am quite good at art. In fact, I really enjoy painting. To be honest, I think other people like my paintings too.

Now you try. I’m going to ask you a question, and you have to reply using these three discourse markers: To be honest / In my opinion / That’s a good question.

Are you ready for the question? Here it is: Are you ready for your IELTS test?
