IELTS Advanced Speaking (Band 8-9)

Taking Band 7 students to Band 8-9 in IELTS Speaking. This course is focused on demonstrating natural, idiomatic and grammatically-advanced English language skills which will impress the IELTS examiner.

Idiomatic/Expressive Language to impress them:

Instead of spending a lot of money, we SPLASH OUT!

Rather than tolerating something annoying, we.... PUT UP WITH it.

We aren't just happy --> we're over the moon!

Linking devices to make them say wow:

When we want to tell the examiner additional information, we don't say furthermore! NO!- We say on top of that!

If we want to contrast views, we can say... but at the same time.. or mind you.. ( The examiner will be amazed when you use something like mind you in your answer!)

Regarding -> but as far as _______ goes, ....

Such as ______ -> the likes of ______.

Grammar to make them do a double-take:

Third conditional is a breeze! -> If I hadn't shown you the third conditional, you might've not used it in your test!

Creative connecting -> You'll be just as impressed as the examiner!

Cool right?!

Are you ready to dive in and actually see some answers that will blow the examiner away?!!
