			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listening to MP3s is a quick and efficient way of learning to speak English naturally and quickly. It does not require long hours of study. It requires short, intensive study through listening and speaking. This method is similar to actually living in an English speaking country. You get to hear natural English everyday and then you can start to practice the sentences, idioms and phrases that you hear. However, there are some key things that you need to do for maximum success:</p>
<p>1. The conversations should be short (no longer than 4 minutes on a given topic)<br />
2. The conversations need to be real-life and authentic, just as if they were spoken by native speakers<br />
3. You should be able to read the conversation you hear so that you can become familiar with it before listening<br />
3. You need to listen to the same conversation as often as possible, over and over again until you feel confident that you know it well<br />
4. You can add conversation after conversation on topics you enjoy</p>
<p>You should begin to see results after one week and amazing results after one month if you are consistent.<br />
The best time to listen is when you wake up and just before you go to sleep.</p>
<p>You can walk around with conversations playing through your earphones all day if you want! If you want to try it, I can send you MP3&#8242;s and the written conversations (transcripts) to try.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many ways to learn English but one of the best is to have teachers that are native speakers of English. Fijians are a good example of a group that speak Fijian but also have high levels of communicative English.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.samespeak.com&amp;blog=4805248&amp;post=486&amp;subd=samespeak&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just spent 5 gorgeous days in Fiji on holiday. Fijians have beautiful spoken English, very eloquent, natural and polite &#8211; a legacy I believe of the British influence that still exists today in their education system. However, unlike some other countries that have been influenced by Western colonialism, Fijians have also retained their own language, culture and traditions and are true bi-linguals. Fijians are a good reminder to the rest of us that two languages can be learned to equal levels of communicative proficiency without sacrificing one for the other or having problems with pronunciation given that the two languages are quite disparate. Fijian is Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian) and English is Germanic!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Use short movie clips from English speaking movies to add interest to an English language programme.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.samespeak.com&amp;blog=4805248&amp;post=398&amp;subd=samespeak&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a quick way to learn spoken English &#8211; select a short scene and watch. Read the dialogue and then watch again. Say each line by repeating after each actor/actress. Keep doing this until you can say the lines with the actors/actresses. Now practice saying the lines by turning down the sound. It&#8217;s fun, quick and easy to do if you are bored with your usual language learning programme and want a quick change. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example from the <a href="http://www.samespeak.com/lessons/Free/Free/Meet-Joe-Black">movie &#8220;Meet Joe Black&#8221;.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Part 1 of the IELTS speaking test you have to talk about 3 topics &#8211; your hometown or your work/study AND two more familiar topics. In my last blog I gave some tips on Part 1, work/study. Lets&#8217; take a look at  topics and how to make up questions.</p>
<p><strong>Topics for Part 1</strong><br />
Free time<br />
Daily routines<br />
Family<br />
Schooling<br />
Sports<br />
Hotels<br />
Shopping<br />
Music</p>
<p>You can make your own questions by using the following starters:</p>
<p><strong>Describe</strong> what you do in your free time, describe your daily routine and describe your family<br />
<strong>Tell me about</strong> your free time, your daily routine, your family<br />
<strong>What do you think about</strong> having free time, changing your routine, your family</p>
<p>You can also use the 5W + H formula and make up Who, What, Where, When, Why and How questions:</p>
<p>Who do you remember from school, what did you enjoy most at school, what school did you go to, where did you go to school, when did you go to school, why did you enjoy/dislike school, how has school changed since you were there?</p>
<p>Because the topics are familiar you should have very little trouble talking about them. It&#8217;s a good idea to make notes about each topic when you are practicing answers or write things you would like to say. However, you <strong>must practice saying your answers out aloud</strong> as this is a speaking test and you will be tested on how well you speak. </p>
<p>You can record yourself on audio to see how you sound, practice with a friend (get them to ask you the questions), or practice with a teacher or online coach. There is a great free audio that you can listen to on our <a href="http://www.samespeak.com/lessons/Free/Free/IELTS-Test-A">samespeak english conversation site</a> that will give you an idea of how to record questions on MP3 that you can listen to and practice giving spoken answers to. The more questions you are asked, the more practice you will have in answering. Remember to practice giving long, full answers. Do this again and again. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you do the same question frequently, as you will give better and better answers with more and more information. The more often you practice this, the better you&#8217;ll get.</p>
<p>In my next blog I will talk about more things that will help you prepare for the IELTS speaking test in Part 2.</p>

<p><strong>Work</strong><br />
What do you do?<br />
What are your responsibilities?<br />
How many hours do you work each day?<br />
Do you enjoy your work?<br />
Is there some other kind of work you would rather do?<br />
If you could change your job or profession, what would you do?<br />
Describe the process of getting a job in your country.<br />
Describe the company or organization you work for.<br />
What is your position?<br />
What do you like about your job?<br />
What do you dislike about your job?</p>
<p><strong>Study</strong><br />
What do you do?<br />
Where do you study?<br />
What do you want to do when you finish?<br />
What subjects do you like?<br />
What subjects do you dislike?<br />
Describe your place of study.</p>
<p>Because it is your work or study, it should be really familiar to you and you should have very little trouble talking about it. It&#8217;s a good idea to make notes about this topic when you are practicing answers or write things you would like to say. However, you must practice saying your answers out aloud as this is a speaking test and you will be tested on how naturally and fluently you speak. </p>
<p>You can record yourself on audio to see how you sound, practice with a friend (get them to ask you the questions), or practice with a teacher or online coach. The more questions you are asked, the more practice you will have in answering. Practice giving long, full answers. Do this again and again.

		<description><![CDATA[Some quick and easy tips for preparing answers for Part 1 of the English IELTS speaking test.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.samespeak.com&amp;blog=4805248&amp;post=376&amp;subd=samespeak&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Part 1 of the IELTS speaking test you have to talk about 3 topics &#8211; your hometown or your work/study AND two more familiar topics. You are expected to talk fluently and easily for 4 or 5 minutes. Part 1 tends to focus on the present tense. </p>
<p>Some common questions on the hometown topic are:<br />
Let’s talk about your home town or village.<br />
What kind of place is it?<br />
What’s the most interesting part in your hometown?<br />
What kind of jobs do the people in your town do?<br />
Would you say it is a good place to live? Why? </p>
<p>Some things you should know about this topic are:<br />
- the name of the hometown, where it is located, what it looks like, interesting areas such as parks, buildings, shopping areas and historical areas of interest<br />
- jobs that your hometown may be known for, special jobs particular to your hometown, common or usual jobs to be found, uncommon jobs<br />
- reasons why it is a good place to live such as clean air, beautiful scenery, great shopping, safe and secure or reasons why it is not a good place to live such as pollution, unemployment, lack of facilities for easy living</p>
<p>Because it is your hometown, it should be really familiar to you and you should have very little trouble talking about it. It&#8217;s a good idea to make notes about your hometown when you are practicing answers or write things you would like to say. However, you must practice saying your answers out aloud as this is a speaking test and you will be tested on how naturally and fluently you speak. </p>
<p>You can record yourself on audio to see how you sound, practice with a friend (get them to ask you the questions), or practice with a teacher or online coach. The more questions you are asked, the more practice you will have in answering. In my next blog I will talk about things that will help you prepare for the IELTS speaking test.</p>
