✅IELTS Speaking | Part 3: 'technology' topic
1. What technology or equipment is used in most workplaces nowadays?
2. Does technology help workers or make their lives more difficult?
3. What effect does new technology have on employment?
1. Tip: give a list of different technologies, then talk about one in detail:
In most workplaces people use equipment such as computers, phones, printers, fax machines and photocopiers. I think the computer is probably the most essential piece of equipment because we rely on it for almost everything: communicating by email, writing reports, organising data, and finding information on the Internet.
2. Tip: talk about the positives AND the negatives:
Technology definitely helps workers because it makes many tasks so much easier. For example, email is such a useful tool for communication between employees in different offices, or even in different countries. On the other hand, technology can make life more difficult, especially when it goes wrong. It causes a lot of stress when the Internet is down or a computer crashes.
3. Tip: give the good effects AND the bad effects:
I think technology is often responsible for people losing their jobs. Machines have replaced people in areas like manufacturing and agriculture, and whenever a new technology is introduced, there are redundancies. At the same time, jobs might be created thanks to a new technology; for example, there would be no computer programmers if the computer hadn't been invented.

"There would be no computer programmers if the computer hadn't been invented." 💻
I was asked why I didn't use "there would have been" in this sentence. 🤔 This is actually a mixed conditional that I used intentionally. 🧐
I used:
"would be" (second conditional)
"hadn't been invented" (third conditional)
By combining these, I made a mixed conditional to refer to an imaginary past situation (using the third conditional "hadn't been invented") resulting in the present (using the second conditional "would be"). 👨💻
This allows me to imagine a hypothetical world where computers were never invented, and say that in that imaginary world, there would be no programmers today.
Mixed conditionals are useful for speculating about alternative versions of the present based on a change in the past. 💡

IELTS Speaking: two types of hesitation
If you look at the 'fluency and coherence' column of the band descriptors, you'll see the following:
Band 7: may demonstrate language-related hesitation
Band 8: hesitation is usually content-related
Do you understand the difference between these two types of hesitation? Here's how I would summarise them:
Language-related hesitation: the candidate pauses because he/she is struggling with vocabulary or grammar.
Content-related hesitation: the candidate pauses to think about his/her answer to the question.
Tip: Try recording yourself as you answer some IELTS speaking questions. Listen to the recording and pay attention to your hesitations. Ask yourself whether you paused to find language or to consider your response to the question.

🎧 IELTS Listening Advice:
🎧 podcasts and audiobooks
Just a quick question today on the topic of study habits: Do you listen to podcasts and/or audiobooks in English? (I'm not asking about IELTS-specific materials)
Think about how much listening you do in your own language each day. Maybe podcasts, audiobooks and other online resources can help you to get closer to this amount of English listening practice. (source: ielts-simon)

📝VOCABULARY | CRIME 🚨
a. Murder vs. Manslaughter:
- Murder is the unlawful killing of another human being with intent (also known as malice aforethought). This means that the person who commits the act either intends to kill or cause serious harm, or acts with a reckless disregard for human life.
- Manslaughter, on the other hand, is also an unlawful killing, but without the intent to kill. It is often divided into two categories: voluntary manslaughter (such as a killing in the heat of passion) and involuntary manslaughter (a killing resulting from a non-felony, such as a reckless act).
b. Mugging vs. Smuggling:
- Mugging refers to a street crime where a perpetrator uses violence or intimidation to steal personal property from someone in a public place.
- Smuggling involves the illegal transportation of objects, substances, information, or people, such as taking goods across a border without paying customs duties or bringing in banned substances.
c. Bribery vs. Blackmail:
- Bribery is the act of giving or receiving something of value in exchange for some kind of influence or action in return that the recipient would otherwise not offer.
- Blackmail is demanding money or another benefit from someone in return for not revealing compromising or damaging information about them.
d. Burglary vs. Robbery:
- Burglary is entering a building illegally with the intent to commit a crime, especially theft, but no victim is necessarily present.
- Robbery is taking property unlawfully from a person or place by force or threat of force, which involves a victim being present and threatened.
e. Arson vs. Assault:
- Arson is the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property.
- Assault is an act that threatens physical harm to a person, whether or not actual harm is done.
f. Fraud vs. Forgery:
- Fraud is wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
- Forgery is the act of making, adapting, or imitating objects, statistics, or documents with the intent to deceive.

🎧 IELTS Listening:
🕖are you 'putting in the hours'?
If you want to get a better score in IELTS listening, the most important thing is to do lots of listening practice. You need to put in the hours!
To "put in the hours" means "to do the necessary amount of hard work". But let's use this phrase more literally by considering how many practice hours you are actually doing every day or every week. Do you know how many hours you spent listening to English yesterday, or last week?
Maybe you could keep a record of the time you spend listening to English this week, and maybe you can try to increase this listening time next week.
A person who listens to 10 hours of English per week is probably going to improve much faster than a person who only manages 30 minutes.

IELTS SPEAKING | PART 2
In the IELTS Speaking Part 2, following the prompts provided on the cue card is advisable. They serve to structure your response effectively. It's possible to achieve a high score without addressing every single prompt, provided your discussion on the topic is articulate and thorough. However, completely ignoring the prompts is not recommended as it may result in a response that doesn't align with the task requirements.
If a candidate misinterprets the question and speaks about an unrelated topic, it will likely lead to a low score. Staying on topic is essential to demonstrate that the response is spontaneous and not pre-memorized.

IELTS Writing Tip #1
Understanding writing task 2
The aim of writing task 2
As writing task 2 is worth double the marks of task 1, it deserves special attention, and I have found that the greatest debates centre around this task. A high-level IELTS certificate tells the world that you are able to write about any topic in a serious way; writing task 2 aims to find out whether this can be said about your writing. Looking in more detail at the instructions for the task, as well as the criteria for Task response, and Coherence and cohesion, we can elaborate on this broad idea and state the following:
• You will be given a topic and a question (these two elements make up ‘the task’).
• Your response must be at least 250 words long, and must be a formal essay.
• In your essay, you must discuss the topic and present an argument that clearly explains your position on the issues raised in the question/s.
• Your ideas must be organised into logical paragraphs, and each paragraph should contain one central idea.
• Your ideas must be explained and supported, and you can use your own knowledge and experience to do that.
These details are readily available, yet many people tell me this is not enough information. They would actually like these broad ideas to be much narrower, making preparation for the test easier. However, any description of task 2 must be broad in order to force you to study a wide range of language and develop the skills your certificate will say that you have. In other words, the way that we describe this task has to be broad to ensure that you do the right preparation for the test. Therefore, while more detailed descriptions might seem convenient, they will not accurately describe the real test. As we shall see, it is the attempts to describe the task in a much more limited way that cause a great deal of confusion and, I believe, also keep people stuck below band 7.
