ββIELTS Speaking Part 3: "For example..."
In part 3 of the speaking test, you should try to give longer, more detailed answers. A great way to do this is by giving an example.
However, I've noticed that students often forget to give an example, even when I've just told them to answer using the three steps: 1) direct answer 2) explain 3) give an example.
Here's the solution to this problem: when answering in part 3, force yourself to say the words "for example". When I force my students to say these words, they always manage to find an example, and the result is that they always give better answers. Try it: just force yourself to say the words "for example", and see what happens.

ββIELTS Listening: more tips!
Here's another list of tips for IELTS listening:
Do lots of practice tests, and as much listening as possible to improve your "ear".
In the test, use the breaks to read ahead. Never check what youβve already done.
Underline keywords during the breaks.
Check your spelling in the 10 minutes at the end of the test.
Be ready for tricks e.g. they say one answer but then change it.
If you have to fill gaps on a picture or diagram, always follow the question numbers - they will show you where to look on the diagram.
The answers are always in order.
There are only 2 types of question: gap-fill and multiple choice.
Section 1 is easy, section 4 is the hardest.
But, you need a high score in section 1. Then you can lose points in later sections.
Become really good at sections 1, 2 and 3 before you worry about section 4.

ββIELTS Grammar: passive with 'being'
Students asked about the use of 'being' in the following sentence.
"There is a danger of nuclear weapons being obtained by terrorists."
Here's (updated) explanation:
First, imagine that the simplest version of this sentence is this: "There is a danger of x" (in which x is a noun).
Now we can consider "nuclear weapons being obtained by terrorists" as a big noun phrase.
The "being obtained" part of this phrase can be called a passive gerund. It is not a verb or verb phrase, so the word "are" (are being) is not missing and cannot be added.
Note: When we use the phrase "there is a danger of...", there is a future implication. So, "there is a danger of x" means "there is a danger that x will happen".
Therefore, our sentence really means this:
- There is a danger that nuclear weapons will be obtained by terrorists" OR
- There is a danger that terrorists will obtain nuclear weapons.
