IE 31: Does It Matter If You Prepare for IELTS with British or American English?
Get your FREE IELTS CHEAT SHEET: http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation Let's talk about it- leave us a question at http://allearsenglish.com/aee-ielts-american-british-english/ Should you speak American English or British English on the IELTS? Today, Jessica and Lindsay talk about accents, and what you can expect on the exam! The IELTS was developed in Cambridge, United Kingdom. So does that mean you should speak English with a British accent when you take the exam? The answer is no. English is now a global language, and the IELTS is a global exam. On the listening section, you are likely to hear American, British, Indian and other kinds of English accents. And it doesn’t matter which you use when you speak – as long as your pronunciation is clear! It’s a good idea to get used to different accents so you don’t have trouble understanding them on test day. Consider listening to podcasts from the different places, and don’t be afraid to work with a teacher from anywhere. Which English accents are you used to hearing? Which ones are difficult for you to understand? Let us know in the comments section below! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

IE 30: What Does It Mean if the Examiner Says "Stop" on the IELTS Speaking Test?
Get your FREE IELTS CHEAT SHEET: http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation Come back to http://allearsenglish.com/aee-ielts-examiner-stop-speaking-test/ and leave a comment Why does the IELTS examiner stop you in the speaking test? Today, Jessica and Lindsay talk about why this happens, and why you shouldn’t worry about it! It can be frustrating if the IELTS examiner asks you a question, and you begin answering it, and then they stop you while you’re speaking. You might think that you made an English mistake, or the examiner doesn’t like your answer. But that’s not what’s happening. Timing is the issue. The examiner has only a certain amount of time to ask you about specific things. As part of their job, they must stop you – and it has nothing to do with the quality of your English, or your answer. Don’t let an abrupt interruption like this cause you extra anxiety! Expect it to happen, and don’t take it personally. All tests have to follow their timing. Do you think being interrupted while you’re English speaking might cause you anxiety? What do you plan to do about it? Share your thoughts in the comments section below!
