Pronounciation can and should be improved!

IELTS candidates should be aware that 99% of English language learners need to work on their pronunciation. This pronunciation practice is not something that should be done just before the IELTS exam – it should be started months before!! Poor pronunciation in the IELTS speaking exam might ruin your chances of getting the highest IELTS band score you can.

What places have you been to?

A year has passed by after I travelled to Kos.It is a beautiful island with wonderful beaches and landscapes.I have mostly gone sightseeing there and i have spent my time visiting different places.
Also I have been to Rome in which there are a lot of famous monuments and museums.I have visited different places.I have tasted the Roman cuisine and I have gone shopping to the local markets.I have had a very good and relaxing time there.

What are you doing at the weekend?

For this weekend I plan to spend some time outside.On Saturday I am going on an excursion with my friends to Chania.I am spending a lot of time on swimming and sunbathing We are visiting some picturesque villages and we are going to go for a walk at the countryside.
On Sunday I am going to playing football and,after that,I am going fishing.I am relaxing at the end of the day.
These are my plans for this weekend.

What do you do every day?

I ususally wake up at 9 o'clock.My free time is quite enough to do the things or activities I want because I have not been working lately.After waking up, I take a shower and get dressed.Afterwards,I eat breakfast and I surf on the internet.I communicate with friends via social networks,like facebook,check my e-mails or read articles.At about 11 o'clock I go to the gym.When I finish at 1 o'clock I return home and I eat lunch.Usually I watch television after lunch.In the afternoon I sometimes go for a walk,but I usually have some coffee with my friends.Then I return home.The most common thing that I do is to see a movie or go out for a drink.After that,I sleep at 12 o'clock the latest.This is my everyday routine.
