The Garifuna people are descendants of Africans who, during the time of slavery, ended up on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean through various measures, mostly by having escaped slavery from nearby islands. At the time, St. Vincent was inhabited by indigenous peoples who called themselves Kalípona and spoke a language that was mainly Arawakan with Carib linguistic features, both languages originating in (northern) South America. Maintaining some of the pronunciation patterns of their African languages not only cemented their linguistic identity but is also how the word Kalípona gained the pronunciation “Garifuna.” After being banished from St. Vincent and settling on the coast of Central America, Garifuna speakers today are often trilingual in Garifuna, Spanish, and English through contact with existing groups in Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. Many Garifuna now live in the U.S., mostly in the Bronx and Los Angeles. In fact, there are now more Garifuna in the U.S. than there are in Central America.

How to Prepare for a Band 9 in IELTS Speaking

#3 Band 9 students understand Fluency is developed over time.

Band 9 students practice regularly, persistently, over a long period of time. Developing fluency is very much like a tree growing. It’s nature. It takes time to do it. You need to water it and look after it to let it grow slowly. You can’t expect your fluency to get better in a matter of days just like you can’t push a plant to grow more quickly. So, this is a key thing Band 8 and Band 9 students do. They understand the need to practice continually over a long period of time.

2022-01-28 13:20:57 We decided to make a painting which would give a message on a social issue.

• The main message of our painting was “SAY NO TO DRUGS”.

• In this painting, I painted a cigarette crushing a person, which showed that humanity is in danger due to drugs.

• The size of the cigarette in this painting was very large as compared to the person to highlight the dramatic impacts of drugs on people.

• On the right side of the painting, my friend drew a large injection, which was killing a person, which showed that excessive use of drugs can lead to death.
