An advanced student of mine who visits my forum regularly to see if I have posted new articles in the forum asked me why I had stopped writing.   

Well, the answer is not an easy one.  I approach English coaching in China with mixed feelings.  I can be jumping up and down or shouting all day to provide tips on learning English.  However, all my advices are falling on deaf ears.

Simply put, Chinese English learners shy away from reading things in English.  When they look at the snake like long sentences, they will shy away at once.

An English teacher friend of mine has been telling me for the past 6 years that she wants to do postgraduate studies on English teaching and she will come to be often asking me for a voice chat to practice her spoken English.  When I asked her what she has done in the past day, week or month in connection with English reading, speaking or learning, she gave me an answer that I don't have to repeat here.   With that kind of attitude and interaction with the English language, what can one expect?

Here is a good example on how one is expected to talk for the IELTS Speaking paper for your reference.  There are 20 pages in an Acrobat format file.   That should give you good enough hints on how to talk.

Our English users always talk too short.   A simple "Yes" or "No" is given to a question.  That's far from adequate to demonstrate to the examiner that you can use English freely.

So, please go over the conversation transcripts in detail to learn how to talk in a way that will get you higher scores in IELTS.
