@ieltswithgordon: If you’ve memorised these phrases for IELTS Speaking, delete them. 😬 “”Practice makes perfect”” “”Last but not least…”” “”It is my personal opinion that…”” The examiner has heard these thousands of times. And when they hear them... they know you’re reciting, not speaking. That’s the difference between Band 5 and Band 7+. It’s not about saying smarter things. It’s about sounding like a real person, not a textbook. 💡 It’s not about memorised phrases ➡ it’s about natural, authentic language the examiner actually wants to hear.
