I guess there are lots of things one can do to overcome fumbling. May be your fumbling has nothing to do with your language skills but your confidence. There are of course things you can do to become a more confident speaker of the language. For starters, you can practice speaking in front of a mirror, working both on your speech and body language. You might as well reduce the pace of your speech so that you can think of what you are going to say. Acquiring vocabulary for different life situations you might come across in life can also help in feeling more confident. The other solutions range from thinking in your chosen language, reading out loud and last but not least, being relaxed mentally.

There is no right or wrong answer to this question. You must ask yourself if you can teach a foreigner to speak your local language fluently in 50 days. I am sure that you will say it won't be possible. Developing proficiency in any language takes time. One cannot expect to speak a new language fluently in two or three months.However, there is another side to this issue. It is said that it is always best to start speaking a language as soon as you start learning it. That way, from day one you are speaking that language. What makes all the difference is the amount of command you manage to gain a few weeks' time. Keep learning. It comes naturally.

First and foremost, a little planning goes a long way in producing a high scoring IELTS essay. Don't spend the entire time writing the response.You need to read the essay question a few times and understand what it is asking you to do.It is very important that your essay is to the point and never digresses. Secondly, you have to find out what kind of essay you are required to write. The types of essays you can be asked to write range from argument, discussion, opinion as well as advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it is two part question you get to answer. It means there are actually two questions and you need to cover them both in your writing.The length of your essay need not be more than 250 words. Before you sit the real test you have to see what 250 words looks like in your handwriting. As soon as you have understood what the questions wants you to talk about and identified the question type you need to plan your response. The most important part of your answer is the body paragraphs. You have to think of at least two relevant ideas to cover in your body. What comes before the body paragraphs is the introduction which should contain a paraphrase of the essay prompt and your plan.If the question asks for your opinion, it is better to state it in the opening paragraph.The sentence containing your opinion or take on the issue is called the thesis statement. Each body paragraph must begin with a topic statement. This tells the examiner what you have chosen to discuss in that paragraph. After the topic sentence comes supporting statements and example. You should always remember to back up your idea with evidence and example. It is wrong to pitch and idea and move on. The examiner will penalise you for that saying the idea is not well extended. In the concluding or closing paragraph you will do well to re-emphasise your main arguments and make a recommendation or a suggestion. Turning to generating ideas for your essay,you must remember that as a candidate you are not supposed to come up with ground breaking ideas in your work. You may use your own ideas drawing from your experience or rely on what you have read about the issue. However,there are several strategies to develop ideas for any question in a few minutes that you can learn from a qualified IELTS teacher.
