Two common mistakes made by IELTS exam takers (speaking section)

I can't tell you how many times I've seen IELTS students use sentences like:

My hat goes off to Rebecca, who makes a very nice summary of reported speech here. I've also included another video of hers regarding speaking about future events. Commit these two tips to memory and practice them daily as you train.
