connectors

and fillers and show the examiner what you are going to say now many people have a limited range they repeat the same connectors and I think I think that too and I think I think for a band 7 and above you need a wide range of connectors and discourse markers, first of all I love desserts, but that said, I only eat them occasionally, so let's take a look at what we do in IELTS, we need to give correct opinions. add information emphasize clarify compare and contrast conclude and we will use different language to do this we can say, for example, I think I also really think I mean, but however, in conclusion, all of these are good, but they are not enough.

You need a wider range of connectors to impress the examiner and really improve your fluency, so let's take a look at each of these different areas and how we can expand on your fills. Let's look first of all at the opinions that give opinions. Answer this question. go to museums well, to be honest, I'm not a big fan of museums, honestly, I'm not a big fan of museums, so notice if the answers are no, we can say well, to be honest or honestly, look at the rising and falling intonation, honestly if the answer is positive Wow, without a doubt, I am a big fan of museums.

I really like museums. Let's notice that we can say yes or Wow, without a doubt, without a doubt or absolutely with quite a bit of emotion. excitement on your face absolutely it's nice to give a feeling that you know how to speak IELTS and here's another question do you think history is important now? If your answer is yes, it is very important, you could say yes. I think it's essential, I'm sure it's very important in my opinion. because without it, yes, I would say it's quite important because without it, yes, I think it means I think it's more colloquial and very pleasant to use when speaking in IELTS, you could also safely say, in my opinion, in In my opinion, all this is good. you can say yes, yes, yes, these are all natural English and very good to use I would say or I would say I advise you to do the contraction I would say I would say I I I would say that if you are I'm not sure if it's important or not.

You may be using language like I guess so or I guess so. See how you can mix them correctly. I guess history gives us a sense of identity and I guess so. I guess history shapes our present. -culture and identity of the day I guess so I guess history dee dee dee dee I guess so I guess history is important and look at the number one mistake, the most common mistake is do you think history is important? I think so, that's not right, right? Say this, I think yes, it is important, so be careful with that, let's move on, let's now see how we can use some good fillers and connectors to start an answer, here is a question, what are the advantages of traveling by plane?

Well, first of all, it's fast and really convenient, first of all, it makes sense, correct logical notice, we often say well, first, first of all, and you're connecting first, to begin with, it's faster than most the other modes of transportation, well, to start, to start, it's like the football game just to start to start is just to start well to start or to start to start is faster than most other modes of transportation now it's a very nice colloquial filling to start we often use it as the first course of a meal but also when you talk you say to start, to start, well, let's move on, let's look at the same question, the advantages of flying and how we can add information, what fillings can we use here, well, we can use something else that's on top.

Of that, as far as I know, these are all great, let's see them in action, another thing is apparently flying is the safest way to travel, on top of that, flying is said to be the safest way to travel as far as I know. flying is the safest way to travel, as far as I know, flying is the safest way to travel and now, to emphasize, there are different ways in which we can emphasize a nice, quite complex, but higher level, I dare say which means I would add even more emphatically. I would go as far as here to say something, let's take a look.

I would go so far as to say that flying is the best way to travel. Without a doubt, it is a charming expression. Without a doubt, it just means safe, without a doubt. Take notes, start practicing it, we can use it too, actually, actually, and here's the thing. Note that intonation is really important, it actually usually has that falling and rising information and that mm indicates that it's going to continue. Actually, I think this actually flying is the safest way to travel, let's look at these in action actually flying is the safest way to travel actually flying is the safest way to travel actually flying is the way safer to travel and apparently here is the thing flying is the safest way to travel now, when we move on to giving examples, there are many ways we can do it, the most common ones, for example, take me four eggs, take me as an example, take me As an example, let's look at some of these in action. for example, in my Norwich, Qantas Airlines has never had a fatal accident.

You can see this with Qantas Airlines, as far as I know they have never had a fatal accident. I love the last one. You can see this with Samsung. You can see this. with Apple, whatever your example is, it's a very nice and natural way to set an example. Let us now continue apart. The question is often why some people do this now. This is a difficult question because it is very open ended and we often want to clarify what it means or what we are going to talk about and one of the big strategies in part three is why some people ask is to break it down to look at different types of people. .

Well, we can talk about young people, parents, older people, workers. The unemployed break it down and for this we use very simple clarification techniques. My favorite is this. If we talk about young people, I think they move to the city in search of

better

job opportunities, do you understand? about if we're talking about something or someone if we're talking about mmm great here's another example if we're talking about parents I guess they want a better school for their kids let's see now contrast contrast similar to compare but where do we look at a and then contrast it with B very we often use the word but there is this but there is that but it is the most overused connector what other ways we can use to express that well, however, that said, keep in mind at the same time and notice with most of these we have that rising and falling intonation that says "careful" and only indicates that we are going to continue talking.

It is an excellent natural intonation. Lovely connector. Let's see the same question as before in practice. Why do some people choose to live in the city? Instead of in the countryside if we talk about young people, I think they move to the city in search of better job opportunities. That said many people who work remotely choose to live in the suburbs or even in the countryside if we're talking about parents. I guess they want a better school for their children. Note that many good quality schools can also be found in rural areas today. Can you see how it works?

Start practicing and let's end with a conclusion. Concluding that there are different ways to conclude. Finally, to summarize in conclusion, I think some of the most natural ones are, in a nutshell, generally at the end of the day, so let's again take a look at these in action. Simply put, I think people move to the city because it offers more opportunities in general I think people move to the city because it offers more opportunities in general I would say that people move to the city because it offers more opportunities in the end of the day I guess people move to the city because it offers more Opportunities guys, that's all, a lot of fillers that will help you improve your fluency and give you great answers on your IELTS Speaking for parts 1 and 3.
