A quick note and apology. There is a typo in the video. I wrote 'upmost' and, as some of you have pointed out, it should be 'utmost'. When speaking fast, they can have the same pronunciation. In fact, both spellings (both words) exist, but with a slightly different meaning. In this expression, it should be 'I do my utmost'. Thanks to those who commented and pointed this out. 👍
@@walker6388 Follow my videos, practice lots and be patient! Very few people, actually make Band 9 (and most don't actually need Band 9). You can get more tips here: keithspeakingacademy.com/how-prepare-band-9-ielts-speaking/
@@EnglishSpeakingSuccess Hi Keith, thank you very much for the great content. Sorry but at 25:15 of your "Live Lesson: Topic of CITIES" it should be "It's famous for [its]..", I believe. In speaking it's not an issue especially with your "f its" tip (thanks for these gems), but it's a (common) mistake nonetheless

In my opinion these are extremely difficult to remember at the time of doing the speaking test. I would prefer to sound more natural and to do not confuse myself with these words. Hopefully I can get a high band.
My life problems are exacerbated, and I can't mitigate them, my barriers are unsurmountable, and I am going to take IELTS exams that is an uphill struggle for me at this moment and I am apprehensive about it, recently I became jobless and I feel really disgruntled, however I am bewildered but I will do my upmost, because i am not inept at it. And your videos are impeccable thank you in advance! Galan
