βββοΈ WSE HERO - DECEMBER 2019
I want to celebrate people who have been World Speaks English members for a long time, have contributed to its development, participated in live streams, courses, and our discussions in the community chats. All of them - WSE Heroes - have a unique story to tell.
ββββ
This is Ahmad from Syria. One year ago, he started preparing for the Academic IELTS. His goals were to get an IELTS score before graduation so that would give him a great advantage in the future. He also saw benefits in improving his English level in general.
Once he was browsing the Internet and stumbled upon our YouTube channel where he found video lessons that proved useful for prep. He reached out to contact me for clarification in some modules and was pleased with the fact it's so easy to communicate with an online trainer. Regarding the WSE community he made sure to benefit from members' experiences and established some frienships along the way π€
He has recently achieved 6.5 overall just in time before his graduation, so now he enjoys a significant advantage over his peers when it comes to applying for Master's degree! π
ββββ
Congratulations for becoming the WSE Hero of the month, Ahmad! We love celebrating outstanding community members π

π» BODY LANGUAGE ON IELTS
I noticed that many students doubt whether body language, eye contact, confidence and face expression matter on IELTS Speaking. Let's discuss this together.
My arguments are the following:
1) You're assessed based on your fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and structure of ideas. So, your body language is technically not taken into account when grading your performance.
2) Your speed is recorded, so when there is any confusion in your answer examiners will re-listen to it and won't see your body language, so again - it won't count in.
3) However, we naturally sound more fluent, persuading, our speech is more coherent and pleasant to listen to when we use appropriate body language - calm, positive, confident, welcoming.
So, the conclusion for me is that it is definitely beneficial to improve gestures, facial expressions and my tone of speaking - because they will inevitably influence the whole speech. I'd like to sound confident and relaxed, not tensed, anxious and shy.
What are your thoughts on this?
