Simon’s Advice on Speaking Part 1

4. Do you think it's important that children read regularly?
Definitely. I think reading is possibly the most important skill that children learn. The ability to read 
opens the door to all aspects of education.

IELTS Vocabulary: nice bits of language! 
There were a few nice bits of language that you might have noticed in yesterday's speaking lesson: 

all sorts of things 

a certain amount of 

I pick up a newspaper most days 

I usually have a book on the go 

I couldn't put it down 

opens the door to all aspects of education 
These phrases made my answers sound very natural and "native-speaker-like". Try using them in 
your own sentences.

IELTS Speaking Part 1: 'games' topic 
I was asked recently about the questions below. Can you suggest any answers? Do you think it's 
acceptable to talk about sports, or should we only talk about games like chess? 
1. What games are popular in your country? 
2. Do you play any games? 
3. How do people learn to play games in your country? 
4. Do you think it's important for people to play games?
