    I will briefly share the technique I used to achieve a native accent in English (British and American), Spanish and Russian with native people asking me what part of their country I am from Step 1. Realise that a language and an accent are two separate things. You can e.g. speak English with a Russian accent and vice versa. Therefore, look at learning an accent as a separate thing. Good news is, you don't need to have any vocabulary to perfect it. Step 2. Start getting an idea of what a Swedish accent sounds like. Swedish is a really hard accent to learn, just because most people have no idea exactly what a Swedish accent sounds like. Listen to friends, colleagues, news, audio books (again, you don't need to understand what they are saying). I would recommend sticking to one particular dialect, the Stockholm dialect in particular is easily accessible and understandable. Step 3. So the Swedish accent is now whatever it sounds like in your head. Time to start practising your new Swedish accent! How? By using a language you already master! If Serbian is your mother tongue, then try to say a few things in Serbian, like "Na vrh brda vrba mrda" if you are adventurous, or rather "dobar dan" to start. Step 4. The goal here is not to sound like a perfect Swede, you should rather exaggerate the sounds as much as possible. When you have a sort of exaggerated Swedish accent that might not sound great, but is more Swedish than any other language, then you can finally start trying it out on your Swedish vocabulary. Step 5. Stick with you exaggerated, fake Swedish accent that no one would ever believe is a real Swedish one, until it eventually softens and sounds perfectly natural. It is better to go from exaggerated fake Swedish accent to a natural one, rather than from your native accent to Swedish right away. Final tip, read comic books like Donald Duck (Kalle Anka in Swedish). They are exceptionally well-written, correct and easy to understand language with clear context.

    Answers to IELTS speaking questions. Work

    What do you do?

    Actually, I do nothing for a living now since I'm not eligible to work in the USA because of the type of my visa.
    Before I moved to Chicago, I had been working as a software developer for a prestigious company in Moscow.
    I was well-paid and had other good benefits such as flextime (flexi-time is chiefly a UK variation and I assume you are going for American English consistently) and bonuses but I didn't really enjoy doing it.
    So currently I help people learning Russian language and create my own Grammar Course and that is what really makes me happy.
    Also I started changing my lifestyle in order to become more eco-friendly, to reduce my carbon footprint and waste and I share the information about it [where?].

    What are your future plans?

    As I am fond of teaching Russian, I’m going to become an online teacher on a website called italki.com.
    Other than that, I’d like to spread awareness about climate change solutions and what individuals can do to prevent global warming and environmental pollution.

    What do you like/dislike about your job?

    What I most like the most about teaching Russian is to figure out  with the logic ofbehind my mother tongue and find the best way to explain it to my students. {I conduct lessons via Skype, but even online it feels like a magic when my student starts to understand what seemed to him or her strange or difficult in Russian before.}
    Another reason why it appeals to me is that I love to communicate with people and help them achieve their goals.
    Finally, I make slides and conduct lessons in English and it really helps me improve my English language skills.

    However, I dislike to format my slides and draw grammar tables because it’s quite boring.


    (btw, you could also say: show my students that there is a 'method to the madness', which is an idiomatic phrase for when something seems crazy and irrational to other people but there is actually a logical method behind it. A native speaker would appreciate that expression, I think. A highly proficient non-native might not pick up on that, so pick your audience carefully as not all IELTS examiners are native speakers, just highly proficient ones.)

    The short and hard answer, you need to do it all. You need to talk, write, listen, practice words, practice grammar. As to what to do, consider this: You practice the words, you practice the grammar, you put together the words you know with the grammar you know, and practice these. Don't waste time learning too many long phrases with any new words. If you want to learn a new phrase, turn it into several small parts and then learn the phrase when you know each part. My favourite method, after years of paying my way through every "ultimate language-learning" service/guide/website (Rosetta stone, word listening, 10 000 words list, grammar banks), I found something that works for me. For Russian, I use Russianpod101 (there is also Spanishpod101 by the same company but I cannot comment on its quality), and they provide thousands of pre-recorded lessons. Each lesson revolves around a natural conversation that is being spoken and then analysed. You then get introduced to the important vocabulary, and then the grammar points of that particular lesson. I take the vocabulary and grammar points alike and construct flashcards with the use of Anki making sure I learn them. The vocabulary of these lessons make a good selection of useful words and phrases, and offers lots of examples of each word in different contexts, explains how they are used and when. The ambition of this site is the most ambitious one I have seen. Then you should practice writing in the target language using each new words you know every week, to make them stick in memory. Always use your newly-learnt words as quickly as possible in a real context. A good site to do this at is Lang-8. There are lots of people there eager to correct your texts. Then you will have corrected texts of whatever you want to say. So write things each week that you want to say or just describe your life or a natural conversation. It will be corrected and then you can practice it. So there is my approach, now try find your own :)

    She is well preserved. Perfectly alright and common, I would say. Keep in mind that you should write it with a hyphen ("-" i.e. well-preserved as one word) when used as a compound adjective, such as when it is preceeding a noun. Consider the difference: She is well preserved. She has a well-preserved face. That is my preference. I have seen the hyphenated version of the word been used interchangeably with the non-hyphenated version. If you want ta play it safe you should type it as "well-preserved" as this would work in all situations whereas "well preserved" would not.

    Morning runs may have positive benefits to your health. A run in the morning may be good for your health. Running in the morning may improve your health. You can improve your health with morning runs. You can improve your health by running in the morning. Any of those would be fine.

    I believe you are referring to "management accounting" or "managerial accounting". Any of those two would work. Actually, in the future, you could just enter Управленческий учёт into wikipedia, then change the language under "На других языках" to view the English (equivalent) article. It's a neat language-learning trick.

    Heading in this context should be defined as the direction the person is moving. In this case she is heading "down an alley". This means that her direction is through an alley. So you see, it is not that she is "heading down" somewhere, just simply heading and in this case the somewhere is "down an alley", or through an alley, with other words. Without knowing the full context, I assume she is being hunted and the people hunting her cannot see her if she <heads> through this alley. I hope that I have explained it sufficiently. Just think of "heading" as the direction a person or thing is moving. For example, "I am heading to school".
