Episode Synopsis
Why You Should Avoid Using Templates for CELPIP PreparationThis episode of the Speak English Fearlessly podcast discusses the pitfalls of using templates for CELPIP exam preparation. You've likely heard or read about templates before - they are easily available online. But just because you can easily get one, does that mean you should use it? NO! Templates may offer an easy way out, but they are not what CELPIP test raters look for, which are original, unassisted, and spontaneous responses. Using templates can risk having your answers voided and can misrepresent your actual language abilities, potentially harming your job search or success in the job you currently have. Instead, learn useful transition words and phrases, and engaging with English speakers around you to adopt new expressions in a natural and effective manner. This episode will show you how to do that. 00:00 Introduction to CELPIP Preparation01:38 The Temptation of Templates03:25 Risks of Using Templates05:28 Effective Strategies for CELPIP Success06:58 Engage with English Around You08:22 Conclusion and Final TipsHelpful Links:Grab your free list of 39 common transition words and phrases right here.From celpip.ca:Using CELPIP Sample responses in the classroom.Preparing for the CELPIP test: Test Integrity
