Hi guys, Aubrey here with the All Ears English team.

Today's episode, Jessica and Lindsay share what is the difference between writing templates and memorizing essays for IELTS writing,

why you should not memorize essays, and how you can use templates to increase your IELTS score.

So check it out guys

and free resources at your level.

All right, guys, enjoy today's episode.

our strategies are the most powerful in the IELTS world and get your free video masterclass at allearsenglish.com forward slash I-N-S-I-D-E-R.

Now, let's get to the show.

In today's episode, hear about the biggest mistake you might make on writing task two and what you should do instead.

hey jessica how you doing today how's it going hey lindsey

i'm good yeah i'm actually i'm super stoked i started a new dance class last night oh that sounds interesting

yeah what kind of dance is it it's it's african dance

which um at first i was like okay africa is a

continent like can you can we like narrow it down

and i was wondering how this was going going to be carried off.

But it's really cool.

The dance teacher is also a drum teacher.

So his drumming students are there playing live music the whole time.

And he picks like a different dance each week from a certain part of Africa.

And then he explains the history to us of like what the dance means and where it comes from.

And then like we learn the choreography and we just, I don't know.

It's so fun.

I was just like pouring sweat by the end.

Like I was so excited.

And at the end of the class, I just like turned to all the other, it was just me and it was just late, just a bunch of ladies.

And I turned around to everybody and I was like, that was awesome. That sounds super cool.

I mean, it's so nice to get a workout and learn something new, like something interesting.

You know, I like that idea.

I know, exactly.

I wasn't sure.

I was like, is this even going to be exercise?

Like what's going to happen?

Yeah.

I'm like tired today.

well it's so nice when we go into something

and we don't really know what to expect it's really fun you know we just don't have any expectations

so that's a good thing yeah yeah totally it's like

when you go to the movies and you don't know anything about what's playing

and you just choose one yeah you know you're just like oh I'll just go see this

and then kind of no matter what it is you're just gonna be fine

because you don't expect anything exactly well that's fantastic I too

bad you can't teach us the dances on the show it's this is voice only but maybe on the YouTube channel.

That would be so funny if on our IELTS Energy YouTube channel, it's just like an African dance lesson.

We might surprise our listeners one day. Who knows?

Check out the IELTS Energy YouTube channel, guys.

It's another way to consume our content and to get our awesome strategies over there if you're on YouTube a lot.

Yeah.

And they're totally new strategies.

I mean, I don't know how we are able to come up with so much information,

but the YouTube channel is just very short, specific five-minute videos.

And these tips and strategies, it's not just like recycled and repeated.

It's all new.

Like everything has new information.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

So definitely go over there, guys, and check that out.

Well, I'm excited about your African dance class.

That's cool, Jessica.

Very cool.

I can't wait for next week.

I wish it was like more than once a week.

But, you know, this is something that hopefully can inspire our students.

Look at, you know, like, because I take my dance class at the community center.

So it's really cheap.

It's really just sort of informal and awesome and fantastic.

And people from all different, you know, walks of life, what have you, are there.

And it's a really good way to meet new people.

So and I like just went by myself.

I was kind of like nervous at first.

Like, I'm just going to sit in the corner.

I don't know anybody.

But by the end, I was like just talking to everybody.

And, you know, just it was fantastic.

So guys, check out, check out a dance class, an exercise group.

I mean, there are so many ways to meet people and practice English.

Oh yeah.

No, this is, and we've talked a lot about, you know, living our lives in English as much as we possibly can.

So if you guys are in, in the U S and the UK and Australia, or even a big city like Tokyo, where they probably offer African dance classes in English, I would imagine, you know,

these big cities are incredible what you can find.

Just do it.

It will also give you stuff to talk about right on the speaking test.

I would imagine when certain questions about, you know, hobbies and things you like to do, right? For sure.

I mean, there are so many questions about your free time and exercise and health and your social life.

I mean, this could definitely come up on the exam.

I would love to meet a student who was, who would tell me about their African dance class.

Like that would be so interesting.

Yeah, that is, that's, that would really help you stand apart, right?

From the rest.

Exactly.

Yeah.

That's what you want to do guys in order to start the examiner in that seven mind direction.

Right.

Because, you know, I'm sure I said this before, but guys that examiner, they're just, they're starting at like a six, like they have to start somewhere.

Even before you start talking, they're in the six mindset and it's up to you to move them above it.

Or in some cases below it, if you're not using our strategies.

So your, your goal is to show them something different to sort of, you know, like shock them out of that six,

you know, really like force them to push up to that seven for you.

100

Right.

101

So setting yourself apart is how you do that.

102

Right.

103

Not everyone gets to be pushed up to that seven.

104

You have to be a special kind of student who's really put in the work.

105

And part of that is, you know, having things, you know, having that culture of thinking and that could come from our activities, the things we actually do every week.

106

So yeah, there you go.

107

Yeah.

108

And that came up in yesterday's episode with Aline.

109

She was talking about how her writing has improved by, I say at least a band score, but I'm pretty sure it's two.

110

I mean, she's improved by so much, right?

111

And how she did that was, first of all, following the strategies in our course, which we're going to touch on today about the writing,

112

but also she's taking our advice about creating this culture of thinking.

113

She reads the newspaper every day.

114

That's how she comes up with her ideas for writing.

115

And I mean, her writing is amazing.

116

That's why she won the contest.

117

Yeah, that's right.

118

Right.

119

And we had that earlier this week.

120

We had Aline on the show.

121

So you guys can go back to episode 214

122

and you'll hear her story and how she won the Three Keys Writing Wizard contest.

123

Awesome.

124

If you're ready to go deeper with our strategies, get into our free three-part video training course to get a sense of our insider method

125

and to understand why our strategies are the most powerful in this IELTS field.

126

Go to allearsenglish.com forward slash insider.

127

That's allearsenglish.com forward slash I-N-S-I-D-E-R.

128

Yes.

129

Exactly.

130

So it's funny because Lindsay and I were talking about what, you know, what our topic should be today.

131

And we got this email from a listener

132

and it directly ties in to what Aline and I talked about

133

because what Aline is doing like solves this other listeners problem.

134

Yeah.

135

It's interesting.

136

It all comes together.

137

It all ties together.

138

We can all help each other.

139

I love it.

140

So the listener, I'm just going to read this bit of her email.

141

Okay.

142

She says, since my childhood, writing essays, even in my native language, was difficult.

143

And I've met students like that before, right?

144

It was just like, I don't care what language it is.

145

Like, writing is hard.

146

Yeah.

147

And it is, yeah.

148

And so the student says, that is my weakest part.

149

Some guys suggest that I learn good essays by heart, which received a nine score, a score of nine.

150

Nowadays, I'm planning to follow that suggestion.

151

Oh, my God.

152

But I don't know whether this helps me or not.

153

Oh, no. No, it doesn't.

154

So what is she going to do?

155

I don't totally understand what she's going to do.

156

She's going to learn.

157

She's going to memorize.

158

Is that what she's saying?

159

She's going to do?

160

That's what it sounds like.

161

That's what it sounds like.

162

So what is she going to do? like find example essays

163

and memorize the whole thing about a topic that definitely will not be on the exam.

164

What use is that?

165

It's such a waste of time.

166

I mean, how much time is it going to take to memorize a 250 word essay, like word for word?

167

And it's a complete waste of time because there's no chance that we'll get the same question.

168

No, guys.

169

I mean, topics are recycled.

170

We do talk about general topics like the environment, travel, education.

171

However, the specific questions are not recycled, guys.

172

IELTS is too smart for that.

173

Do not like disrespect the creators of the test by thinking, oh, like they're lazy.

174

They're going to use this question again.

175

No, never.

176

I just can't understand.

177

I don't understand the logic behind this idea of memorizing an essay.

178

It makes no sense.

179

Makes no sense at all.

180

Guys, I mean, and this has come up to as well.

181

I had a question from a student in the course, like when does it count against you, the memorization?

182

Because it is in there.

183

If an examiner sees a memorized response, then the score is like horrible.

184

It's like super low.

185

It has to be, obviously.

186

But that's if that's only if like a whole essay is memorized.

187

Okay.

188

It does not apply to memorizing linking words and structure.

189

Guys, this is what you have to do in order to have that confidence going in.

190

Okay.

191

Yeah.

192

So in our course, we have the four paragraph essay template.

193

And yesterday I had a power hour with six students from our course.

194

All right.

195

They all sent me writing task two essays and all of them had put in the work.

196

They had all memorized this template.

197

It's easy to memorize you guys.

198

It's just a template that has the linking words you need

199

and the organization you need to hit that seven or higher for cohesion and coherence.

200

That's all it is.

201

It's very focused and very easy.

202

And they had all done it.

203

Awesome.

204

And so I'm reading these essays and I'm like, oh my God, like everyone is hitting that seven or higher for cohesion and coherence because they followed the template.

205

And it's, it makes my job so easy.

206

It makes examiner's jobs easy because it's when they read these essays, they flow, right?

207

They're organized well.

208

An examiner never has to stop and be like, what?

209

How does this idea fit in?

210

Oh, that's awesome.

211

So just want to make sure this is clear for our listeners.

212

We're not talking about memorizing an essay.

213

We're talking about memorizing an outline or a template or a structure, right, Jessica?

214

And some linking words.

215

Yes.

216

Very different things.

217

Two totally different things.

218

Exactly.

219

Yeah.

220

So in the, in our template,

221

it gives you just a general structure with specific linking words and transition phrases.

222

Guys, don't, I think students sometimes overthink this.

223

Like it can't be that easy, right?

224

Like I can't just memorize this one thing and be fine.

225

Guys, but remember, like what, why are you memorizing this?

226

You only have to write one essay.

227

There's only one task, two essay.

228

So why are you going to waste your time memorizing?

229

Like this is a four paragraph essay.

230

This is a five paragraph essay.

231

What if I want to include my opinion?

232

What if I blah?

233

Yeah.

234

Guys, like I have been over a million essays.

235

I've seen all the IELTS test questions.

236

I could tell you, like, all you need is this one template.

237

That's it.

238

Yeah, we did an episode a few weeks ago about just trusting strategies and trusting advice, you know, from the right person,

239

just letting go and trusting a strategy.

240

And when we don't, we talked about reading specifically, but I think it carries over to writing.

241

When we don't trust a strategy, we, you know, the strategies won't help us.

242

It carries over to all parts of the exam, all parts.

243

I mean, Alina was talking about how like she's studying for her PhD,

244

like she really has no time and she's just nervous and busy and a little bit frantic, right? Of course.

245

And our students can relate even if they're not studying for a PhD.

246

They have a family.

247

They have a job.

248

Like we are busy adults.

249

Yeah.

250

Why are you going to make it more difficult for yourself?

251

Why are you going to commit like four hours a week

252

in some language school with a teacher who's going to give you three, at least three different types of essays to,

253

you know, practice writing and memorize different whatever for?

254

You don't need it.

255

Don't waste your time and money like that.

256

Like, just, you know, I think the problem is, well, it's not a problem, but the issue is that a lot of our listeners

257

and all of our listeners and all of our students in the course are very smart, very capable students.

258

Oh, yeah.

259

And at that level, that's when you start to overthink things.

260

Oh, yeah.

261

And if you have a good work ethic, you'll work harder than you actually need to.

262

Exactly.

263

Exactly.

264

So, like, don't waste your time.

265

IELTS is a, it's a self-contained test, right?

266

Like only do what you need to do.

267

You got it.

268

So what you're saying is, Jessica, in our course, we do offer and outline a special template that goes across all types of essays.

269

Is that what we're saying here?

270

Exactly.

271

Exactly.

272

And the students in our course, they're required to finish the writing module first before they're allowed, right?

273

To come into this power hour.

274

Because again, like I don't want to waste my time either repeating stuff that's already in the course.

275

So they have to do that first, but I can see that they are like, they're all putting in the effort.

276

They're all starting with the same topic sentence in paragraph three.

277

Like, nevertheless, this opinion is ludicrous.

278

I mean, I just, I love reading this stuff.

279

It's awesome vocabulary.

280

It's perfect grammar.

281

It's perfect transitions that other students doing the test simply don't have.

282

Like they don't come prepared like this.

283

But the students in our course, that's why we're having all these success stories.

284

That's why they're getting sevens and eights on the reading and writing because they're trusting our strategies.

285

They're putting in the work, right, to perfect these strategies in their mind.

286

I love that.

287

And then it pays off.

288

Oh, that's so cool.

289

I'm so excited that the students in our course are really putting in the time.

290

You know, I respect that so much when you're willing to invest in yourself, invest in your dreams and actually put the time in.

291

and especially if you have a kind of a shortcut, some strategies that we offer you guys, you are on the fast track to your vision, to your life vision.

292

That's brilliant.

293

I love it.

294

Exactly.

295

I know.

296

It's so inspirational.

297

I think, I think I keep talking about the Aline episode, but I think at the end of that episode, I said, thank you.

298

You're amazing.

299

Like five times.

300

Cause I was just like, you're like so amazing.

301

You did so much work and our listeners are going to be so inspired by you.

302

And that is so cool.

303

That's so cool.

304

So guys, don't waste your time memorizing entire essays.

305

It makes no sense whatsoever.

306

Instead, find the right templates, the right outlines, and we do have them available for you in our course.

307

And to get into that course, guys, you can go right now to allearsenglish.com forward slash keys, K E Y S.

308

311

Don't waste any more time.

312

You got it.

313

You got it.

314

Any final thoughts here, Jessica, before we wrap up for today?

315

Yeah.

316

Just guys really think about what your goal is and don't, don't overwork yourself or overthink it.

317

It doesn't have to be too hard and it doesn't have to be complicated.

318

Yeah.

319

You got it.

320

Excellent.

321

Excellent.

322

I'm glad we got a chance to talk about reading, writing, writing today, Jessica, because we were writing, reading, because it's a big challenge for so many people.

323

Oh my gosh. Of course.

324

Yeah.

325

No, it's good.

326

It's good.

327

It's a good episode, Lindsay.

328

Good one, Jessica.

329

Good one.

330

I'll see you back here tomorrow.

331

All right.

332

錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 memorize, template, listener 這類單詞。

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
