The file format does not match the .mp3 extension, and it is very garbled and difficult to hear. Could you try to make a different recording and upload it, please?

Hi, Paritosh, Thank you for sharing about this northern Indian restaurant. It sounds like it would be a nice place at which to eat. First, let me say that your vocabulary indicates that you have a good understanding of some higher-level English words, like compromise and ideal. You said compromise t...

Hi, Yura, Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the summer months in your country. Now that fall is here in the northern hemisphere, your speech is reminiscent of the sweltering months that have just passed. You are still reading your speeches, which makes it difficult to really assess your speakin...

Dear Sandy1983291, Thank you for sharing this harrowing experience that you witnessed. It takes bravery to talk about it. I wish the best for Peter. Your speech was well-organized, and you addressed the points directly. I would encourage you to add in some transition and connecting words a bit more ...

First, I would suggest that you practice cue card questions (you can find many for free online and on this forum) with a partner who speaks English. Pretend you are with the interviewer. The friend can read the questions to you, and you can then use a timer to time yourself for one minute making not...

Hi, Yura Thank you for sharing your practice with us, and I hope that we can help you improve your speaking! The first thing I noticed in your speech was that you read it. I know that when you make a speech it is important to know what you are going to say, but it is vital as you prepare for the IEL...

Hello, VoidGuard, Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your practice with us. We are here to help each other out and to support you as you practice for the IELTS.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all! I think you raise a valid point about the need to say something when you are asked a question you don't know the answer to or may not agree with. If you don't think you're able to answer it, perhaps say why you can't answer it. If you get a questio...

You save 1 hour and 40 minutes driving time to and from work by having the car? Wow! Good for you! Here are some notes: 1.) It is French car. – It is A French car. 2.) mortgage – say the R Good job that you didn’t say the “t.” 3.) I still try to manage to do it. – I still try to do it. OR I still ma...

Hi, Allen_Zhang, What a celebration this had to be for everyone, and especially for your grandfather! What a blessing it must have been for all of you to have this event. You spoke faster this time, which increased your fluency somewhat, but you really struggled with verb tenses in this speech. Pron...

Hi, Allen_Zhang, As usual, you have some really interesting stories, and you were quite clear in your speech. You answered the question directly, used good vocabulary, and even through in some colloquialisms like, “You know.” I don’t think that grammar is an area of difficulty for you for the most p...

Hi, Johnson, Your life sounds a bit like mine as far as work goes. I must have ten “jobs.” It makes life fun, though. Your talk was not very concise. Remember, you just have a couple of minutes to answer these questions. You did better this time by not responding to individual questions. This time y...

Hi, Allen_Zhang, You reminded me. . .I only exercised once last week. Your organization, as usual, was good. You often begin your talks with, “I am going to talk about. . .” Perhaps you could try a new introduction, like, just simply stating your topic and outlining what you will say about it. For e...

Hi, Allen_Zhang, After listening to this, I want to go out to eat for dinner. . . Some thoughts: You used good transitions, like “as for the reasons why,” “another,” and “firstly.” That helped to move your speech along. You answered the question directly. Your conclusion was short and to the point. ...

Hi, Allen_Zhang, This movie sounds like the ones I have to watch with my daughter. . .Fun, aren’t they?  First, your vocabulary was good, although you used the same words a bit too often. For example, you said you had to accompany your son twice. You could have said you had to go with him. Although...

Hello, Allen_Zhang, I hope you are able to locate your friend and get back in touch! It is sad to lose contact with a good friend. You were quite easy to understand during your speech. One pronunciation area you might work on is saying the “r” at the end of words like “bar.” Try saying “bar” with ot...

Hello, Johnson, I wanted to address your second recording about your favorite magazine. I agree that “The New York Times” is a great source of news and information, but I do want you to know that it is not a magazine, but a newspaper. That being said, your pronunciation of the letter “r,” which I me...

Hi, Johnson, Thank you for sharing about your friend, Amber. I only wish I could cook that well! My husband wishes I wouldn’t cook much of the time. ..  Your pronunciation is very clear, and you are very fluent in your speech. I would suggest that you really focus on saying the letter “r,” like in ...

Hi, Neha, Here are some notes on your speech: -You repeat the word “available” a lot at the beginning. Try to find some synonyms like, “free.” -some similarities with – This should be some similarities “to.” -I like them to visit in my homes. – Although you may own more than one home, you should jus...

Hello, Alexofgrowth, This sounds like an amazing place that you have close to your town. From what you said, it sounds like a great place to ski, too! First, your vocabulary usage was all right. I did not notice you using many high-level words, but I did hear you try to use phrases like, “I cannot s...

Hi, Eleesi0510, Thanks so much for sharing about the Ernest Hemingway biography you read. He certainly led an interesting life!

The organization of your answer was easy to follow in that you answered the question directly, and your answer was short and to the point. You might cons...

Hello, Muxtar, Thank you for sharing information about weddings in your country. It was really interesting! Pronunciation and fluency are two areas to keep working on. I had a difficult time understanding you several times throughout the recording. The number of “uhs” keeps you from increasing your ...

Hi, Neha, I wish I could have seen your nephew playing football! I’ll bet he was really cute. The organization of your speech was good. You have a good beginning, middle, and end. I was able to follow your answer, which was clear and to the point. Your pronunciation was clear most of the time, altho...

Hi, Joohn_123, Please note that this review will be short because the quality of your recording was poor. First, thank you for sharing about this province. It certainly sounds like there is plenty for people to do! Your pronunciation in this recording was quite difficult to make out. I don’t think t...
