This is in response to the dream job questions. This recording was much more on-topic than the previous one about the sporting event. I heard good vocabulary, such as “profound” and “prestigious.” Be careful with the “s” sound in words like “guess” and “most.” The “s” sound in these words is voicele...

This is a response to the sporting event recording: Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this event. What a match it must have been! It still sounds like you’re reading, if not from a speech directly, at least from notes. There were some places where you sounded more conversational, but ...

Hello, Johnson, Thank you for uploading your new recording. This sounded quite good. It was a bit long for an IELTS exam situation, but it did thoroughly answer the question. You particularly spent perhaps too much time discussing the fact that you don’t know that much about the topic. As far as org...

Hello, Eli, Thank you for sharing your answers to these different questions. First, I would say that your vocabulary is good. I heard words like “obscure,” and “distorted.” These indicate that you have a solid understanding of specific words related to the topics on which you speak. As far as organi...

I'm sorry, but I don't see the recording here. Could you upload it again?

I'm sorry, but I cannot give you an estimated band score.

Hi, Ya123, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this important position. I agree with you that this is a vital job. I would first say that you spoke directly to the point much of the time. However, I did not feel that you gave as clear or expanded an answer as you might to the questions of who ...

Hello, Rasha, You unfortunately reminded me that it is the weekend, and I have about three loads of laundry to do tomorrow, my daughter’s bathroom needs to be cleaned. . .OH, and we are having people over for dinner tomorrow night, and I have promised to visit a friend. . .and I need to go grocery s...

Hi, Rasha, I think I would really like your dad. You obviously care greatly for him. I can say the same thing about my daddy. The world is much better for good fathers being in it. Your vocabulary was good in this example speech. I heard “symbolizes,” “vitality,” and “inspire,” for example. You orga...

Hi, Rasha, You spoke clearly, but I would encourage you to work on your reduction and linking to make your speech sound less stilted and choppy. You might listen to some recordings, like those on Voice of America or BBC Learning English, and try to copy the linkings and reductions you hear the broad...

Hello, again, In this recording, I really liked your organization and examples. You were clear, concise, and to the point. I think you might offer some more details, however. Perhaps you might mention that teaching younger students can be difficult because they are less serious and interested in wha...

Hi, Rasha, In this recording your vocabulary again stands out as being one of your strong points, such as when you said “passionate,” “keen,” and “up-to-date clinical research.” These very specific terms will help you get the score you want on the IELTS. Additionally, you used transition expression ...

Hello, Rasha, Thank you for sharing your recording. I look forward to listening to your others in a few moments. First, let me say that your vocabulary and pronunciation are excellent, at least from the short bit that I heard here. I heard you use "supervise" and "theoretical," f...

Hello, again, The quality of the recording made it rather difficult to understand what you were saying much of the time. In addition, pronunciation is a major issue through which you should work. I'm going to suggest that you work through one of these online pronunciation courses before your IELTS e...

Hello, and thank you for sharing your recording. However, it is quite difficult to understand, not because of your pronunciation, but because the quality of the recording itself is quite poor. Could you please try again, and we will see if we can help you improve your speaking? Thanks!

Hello, Nguyenquanghuy, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about camping. That is an enjoyable outdoor activity, for sure! I say that, but I’m not really into the lack of facilities. . .  Anyway, your organization was quite clear, and you used nice introductory phrases and transitions, like, “moreo...

Hello, Thuanbui, Thank you for sharing your newest recording! I admire your perseverance and willingness to share your speaking practices. This time around, your pronunciation was a bit clearer than the first one I listened to, but I really want to encourage you to spend your time focusing on pronun...

Listening to a lot of English, like on the BBC's Learning English website, or that of Voice of America, could help you. Listen to a short section of a news story, then read the transcript out loud. Record yourself, then play it back so you can compare it to the news story audio. Don't give up!

Hello, DocFM, Thank you for sharing your recording with us about the weather in England. I lived in Scotland for a year, so I understand what you’re talking about with how fast the weather changes. First, I would say that your speaking is quite easy to understand, for the most part. There are a coup...

Dear Thuanbui, Thank you for sharing your recording with us. First, I would say that you have a good grasp of vocabulary. You used specific and sophisticated vocabulary, like detest, modified, municipality, industrial waste, and environmental management. At times, you had a difficult time finding th...

Hi, Yura, This speech definitely sounds rehearsed, but it is much more conversational as there are moments when I can tell that you are not reading off of a piece of paper. Nice work! Your vocabulary was really strong in this speech. You showed knowledge of a lot of colloquialisms like, “monkeying a...

Revealator, Thanks for sharing the information about this market. It sounds like a very unique place! First, pronunciation of the word “bazaar” is off a bit in your speech. The emphasis should be on “-ZAAR.” The “BA-“ part sounds like “buh,” “not “ba.” So you want it to sound like “buhzar” instead o...

I received the error message that this file type was not the same as .mp3, so you sound really incoherent in places in the recording. Please upload a new file.

Paritosh, Thank you for sharing about your school. It sounds as if you had a great school and wonderful teachers who really valued their students. Your vocabulary is really good. I heard these words: originally founded, constructed, credit, implement, to name just a few. You organized your speech we...

This is a reply to the first speech on sports. Hello, Revealator, Thanks for sharing your thoughts about sports in your country. I had never heard of the game you discussed in the first part before you described it. First, your speech is clear, overall. There are some pronunciation problems, like wh...
