a teacher of training centre(he used to be the examiner of IELTS) told us that


we can get high score(over 6`5) easily through using SLANGS and IDIOMS.


Don't try to use very long and difficuls words in order to impress the examiner.


It won't work at all. Long and difficult words make        this guy         bookish.


John, is that right?Do u agree with what the teacher said?


Keep practising ur english in 1-2 months.Non-stop.


6`5 is not far from us.

John

I agree with the following sentence: " Don't try to use very long and difficult words in order to impress the examiner."

I think it's misleading, however, to say that using "idioms" and "slang" will help you get a high score on the exam. In fact, sometimes students try to use to many idioms and end up looking foolish. It's important to understand the proper colloquial usage of words, but it's more important that you use English that YOU are comfortable with to express your ideas. That's how you get a high score.

(By the way: If your friend was a former examiner, he or she would know that it's impossible to get a 6.5 on the IELTS Speaking Test. [em07] )

I was shocked! what does it mean?         You mean only few students can get a 6.5 on the IELTS Speaking Test? So disappointed!

John

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough.

You can only get whole band scores on the IELTS Speaking Test. So, you could get a 6 or a 7, but not a 6.5.

This is also true for the Writing Test. On the other hand, it is possible to get half band scores on the listening and reading tests, and your total score (the average of the four band scores) may also be a half band score.

Let me know if this still isn't clear. It can be confusing!

John,will you recommend me some books about this aspect?


Talking with a foreigner is a good way to improve our oralEnglish?


       

zeal_one

i think that we must practice our spoken english.but i do not think that it is possible for every body to practice with foreigner


i just practice by myself ,just using a recording tape!

Eileen_kinggirl

um,zeal_one,will u give me some advice about how to practice spoken English?

John

Eileen: Yes, talking with native speakers is a great way to improve your spoken English, but it's certainly not the only way, and by no means is it enough. Talking with a Chinese language partner can also be helpful, and you must also spend time practicing on your own: reading, listening, imitating. Zeal's method of practicing with a tape recorder is also a good one. You can even use a 复读机 to compare your speaking with that of a native speaker.

I'm not sure exactly what sort of books you're looking for. Could you be more specific?

haha``英文里没有复读机这种说法么?
