      • IELTS Listening: presentation about 'better communication'I've just watched the following presentation about better communication. I was planning to create a quick vocabulary exercise about it, but I've changed my mind. I think we can learn a lot more than just vocabulary from this speaker.If you have time to do some 'real work', here's what I suggest you could do:Watch the video once, all the way through. What was the main message that you took from the presentation after listening once?Watch again, and take notes on the content of the talk. What does the speaker say about: 1) approach 2) audience 3) context 4) structure?What other communication techniques does the speaker use? For example, why does he begin the talk by saying "people hate me"?Focusing on the part about 'structure', do you notice any similarities with the 'structures' that I recommend for IELTS speaking and writing?Finally, perhaps you could compile a list of the good collocations and phrases that the speaker uses. His talk is full of good language.The video is 16 minutes long, but I think you could spend hours studying it. I hope to read your ideas in the 'comments' below.
