Trong phần thi IELTS Speaking, việc sử dụng các native speakers’ expressions là điều cực kỳ quan trọng. Chúng có 3 tác dụng chính sau:
1. Giúp bài nói tự nhiên, trôi chảy và mượt mà hơn => Điều này luôn được đánh giá cao và là điểm cộng cho bạn đó
2. Giúp liên kết các câu trong bài nói và điều hướng bài nói
3. Giúp bạn ngưng nghỉ và nhấn nhá đúng lúc khi nói
