Did you know that you should spend LESS time on grammar when you prepare for the IELTS exam?

Does that sound strange to you?

If it does then you should listen to today’s episode.

Why shouldn’t you focus on grammar?

It’s not worth the time and it’s almost impossible to improve your grammar score for the speaking section quickly. Don’t waste your time on grammar textbooks.

Instead of doing grammar exercises, you should try reading a newspaper to improve your reading score.

In speaking, you are graded on 4 things:

• fluency and coherence- keep talking and don’t use “ums” and “uhs’
• vocab- use exaggerated language, slangs, and idioms to get a 7
• pronunciation- get a 7 by using intonation and emotions
• grammar- this will be much harder to improve

Remember, your speaking score is an average. You can still get a speaking score of 7 without focusing on grammar.

What do you think?

Are you focusing a lot on grammar?

Are you going to change your strategy after today’s episode?
