This is Harry.
Welcome back to advanced English lessons with Harry, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, to help you with your conversational skills, your business English skills, interview skills, whatever your goals are, we're here to help.
And for those of you and your friends or family who want one one to one lessons, well, you know what to do.
Just get in touch www.englishlessonviaskype.com and you can apply for a free trial lesson.
And we'd be very happy to hear from you and very happy to help you.
This is a vocabulary lesson.
In fact, we're focusing on part two of the speaking test for those of you who are considering doing ielts.
So we're going to look at vocabulary, but in particular at the question that you'll be asked in part two.
So just to remind you, when you take the ielts test in part two, you will get what they call a cue card.
Sometimes it's called a task card, and written on that task card will be a particular topic.
You don't get any chance, unfortunately, to change the topic, but there are some questions there and how you will approach it.
So you get approximately 1 minute to read and prepare yourself, and then you have to speak for two to three minutes on the topic.
And of course then there will be some follow up questions by the examiner.
Okay, so what we're going to look at here is a typical example of one of those type of cue card questions or task card questions.
So I'm going to give you an idea of a topic that I would talk about.
Then I'm going to give you some words that I've selected from that particular topic just to give you a flavor and understanding as to what they mean and how to use them.
Okay?
So let's get cracking.
So as I said, it's a vocabulary lesson and it's in relation to part two of the IELTS exam.
