Each recording contains expert feedback on the speaker's performance. Also, visit the Splendid Speaking website at splendidspeaking.com to subscribe to our newsletter which gives automatic access to transcripts of all podcasts. Students studying for IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge CAE, CPE or BEC will find these recordings useful in preparation for their Speaking exam. We also publish a weekly task sheet giving you the chance to try a similar task and a daily quiz consisting of three colloquial expressions. https://splendidspeaking.podomatic.com/entry/2016-02-24T02_29_57-08_00 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/splendidspeaking/episodes/2016-02-24T02_29_57-08_00 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 10:29:57 +0000 2016-02-24 2016-02-24 https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/splendidspeaking/episodes/2016-02-24T02_29_57-08_00 Splendid Speaking 547 Welcome to the IELTS Language Lab, brought to you by Peter Travis from ieltsspeaking.co.uk.

Did he give full answers, even to closed 'Yes/No' questions? Finally, make a note of Jedrzej's use of English, which we'll look at in the feedback section. Let's listen to Jedrzej.
