"Stories with Rory" focus on storytelling and the ability to talk about different topics at length. We know that it might be quite difficult to formulate a coherent story about a trip you made, your birthday party, or all sorts of things that happen to us. You start of good but by the 4th sentence get lost in all these tenses, forget all the topic related vocabulary and just can't hold it together, really. In addition to this, many of you do not live in English speaking countries and do not get a chance to hear and/or talk about a whole lot of different topics.
In this series of episodes we will be trying to help you with that. We will be showing you how to be natural, express your thoughts clearly, and use good language in your everyday English, when telling a story.
The topics we will be discussing all come from the second part of the IELTS speaking exam.
