Do you try to speak fast to sound like a native English speaker?
Today, Lindsay and Jessica discuss why you shouldn’t leave your heart behind on the IELTS Speaking Section!
Nobody expects you to sound exactly like a native speaker. People just want to understand you. So if you’re talking too fast and trying to sound like a native, you might actually become more difficult to understand.
Speed is not important. If you speak with clarity and confidence, you will always sound better than if you’re in a rush. You have to be able to relax, pause between sentences, and use intonation and emotion.
If you want a high score on the Speaking Section, the examiner must be able to understand what you’re saying. Intonation is important — practice expressing your feelings so you DON’T sound like a robot!
How are you going to speak English with your heart?
