I'm just a newbie here. Just asking what are the top websites where I can find english speaking partners? I just want to get a score of at least 7 for ielts speaking section. I'm not that confident with my grammar and english speaking skills. Can you also give me some tips especially from those who failed the speaking part more than one. I will take ielts as soon as I am confident with my speaking. I'm also practicing everyday. Please help me guys.
