Happy Thursday, guys! 💃🏻
This week I’ve prepared for you a fun way to practise your IELTS Speaking answers 🧑‍🎓💬

Let’s practice one answer. Repeat it phrase by phrase and then sentence by sentence 🙂

Btw, here’s the answer. You may find it easier to repeat when you can see it:

I think the whole idea of favourite or lucky numbers is a bit silly, but if I was forced to say, I’d choose 7. Apparently, so would most people! I’ve heard it was called the world’s favourite number.

Here's the full IELTS Speaking practice video 🙌 Listen and repeat

Congratulations to Sophia on passing her test.

Here's a funny thing. Sophia's task 2 topic was one of the first tasks I've ever made a video about on my YouTube channel, and I'll link that sample answer in the next post.

The speaking topic about wild animals was the same as I was asked in one of my early exams, and I was completely stunned as a 20-something year old when I was asked a topic for a 6 year old.

The lesson is topics are regularly repeated, so you don't have to hunt for the latest topics. And keep on going, you can pass your test too.

Happy Thursday, guys! 😃 Hope you're having a great week! Today I'd like to share with you some tips on how to make any IELTS Writing (or Speaking) sentence complex.

Here's a little exercise for you. Turn these simple sentences into complex sentences with relative clauses. Ready? 😎

I bought a new car. It is very fast.

I live in London. It has some amazing parks.

A woman called me. She is my new colleague.

I'll publish my answers tomorrow! 🤓

Guys, you're doing amazingly well! Most of your sentences are correct, apart from one important thing.

YOUR PUNCTUATION. ☠️

To get a high score for your grammar, most of your sentences must have no mistakes at all, not even missing commas.

HERE ARE THE RULES: ❗️WHO (PEOPLE)

Can you remove the clause from the sentence?

❌ If no, you don’t need any commas:
The boy who wears a red t-shirt is my son.
(The boy is my son. = This sentence is not clear. Which boy?)

✅ If yes, put commas:
My son, who wears a red t-shirt, is five years old.
(My son is five years old. = This sentence is clear)
