💟IELTS Speaking Part 1: simplify💟

Your priority in part 1 of

the speaking test should be to demonstrate fluency, not difficult grammar or vocabulary. You'll speak more fluently if you keep your part 1 answers simple.

Here are some examples of how I would simplify students' answers.
👉Note: the students' answers contain some mistakes.

Student's answer:
Logically people from different generation will have taste variation. Depending upon the maturity, impact of globalisation as well as technological development in music industry will divide younger and older generation.

🍭My simplified answer:
Of course, people from different generations have different tastes in music. Popular music changes all the time, and most of us are influenced by whatever style of music is popular when we are growing up.

Student's answer:
Yes, I am fond of music. When I am happy, music inspires me to be more.When I am sad, music takes me out glue and move forward.

🍭My simplified answer:
Yes, I love music, mainly because it helps to put me in a better mood. When I'm stressed or sad, music picks me up and puts me in a positive frame of mind.
