In the first part, I will ask you some personal questions.

First, let's talk about what you do.

What is your job?

Currently, I'm an interpreter over the phone.

I interpret phone calls from different government agencies and institutions from the US.

And has your job changed a lot in the past years?

It actually has because up until August from this year, I used to be an English teacher.

I have been an English teacher for over three years, but just recently I decided to switch to any job.

And if you had the chance, would you change your job?

I think that if I had the chance,

I would, but it depends on the conditions and the salary if it's better than the one that I have right now,

I would totally, I think I would totally change.

Now let's move on to talk about headphones.

Do you use headphones?

I do use headphones.

I actually have a pair of headphones.

I got them about two months ago.

They're very useful and I really like them.

And when would you use your headphones?

I use them for my job.

I take calls every day.

So in order to have a better quality of my voice

when I interpret or to hear better what my clients are saying, I use headphones.

In what conditions you won't use your headphones?

I think I wouldn't use my headphones on my personal life apart from the job because they are very big and heavy.

So to go jogging or to just relax in my room, I wouldn't use them.

Let's now talk about shoes.

How frequently do you buy shoes?

I think I buy shoes around one to two times a year.

I don't really buy that many shoes.

I'm not kind of person that collects a lot of them.

I just stick to a few good ones.

And where do you usually buy shoes?

I go buy them at the mall.

I don't like buying them online because I don't want to risk it

because sometimes they come a little bit larger or smaller.

So I'd rather...

What is your favorite type of shoes?

I think sneakers.

Sneakers are my favorite type of shoes.

They're comfortable and they are useful for everything.

Thank you.

Now we can move on to the second part of the X-Fam.

So in the second part, I will give you a card with a topic and you will have to talk about this topic for two minutes.

But before you do so, you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say

and you can make some notes to help you if you wish.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Now I'm giving you the cue card and the paper for you to make notes and the pen.

And you should describe a charity which is important to you.

Here you are.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Now you have one minute to think about the topic and it starts now.

Thank you.

So Now your one minute is over and you may talk about this topic for two minutes, but do not worry if I stop you.

So you can start talking now.

I think all charities are important because they're all about helping others and making the world better.

But if I had to choose one, I would choose the animal shelter in my hometown.

It's called Animals Friends, and it is a charity that helps shelter

that takes care of stray domestic animals like dogs and cats.

In that shelter, they receive these stray animals and they give them health care and a roof and food.

And also they promote adoption in the local and international people that are interested in that.

The way they raise money is very resourceful

because they receive donations from the locals and also from international people that are interested in helping animals.

They make these fundraiser events in which they offer dinner to people

and the funds that come out of that would go to the shelter.

They also use social media a lot to communicate the needs of the shelter.

And they have a bazaar on the second floor of the shelter in

which you can go and buy different items or clothing or books or secondhand.

And that's the way they carry on.

I think it is very important for people to look up to this organization

because it not only picks up stray dogs and cats from the street,

but they also take care of them.

Thank you very much.

Now we can move on to the third part of the exam.

So can you please give me back the papers and the pen?

Thank you.

Okay.

So in the second part, you talked about a charity, which is important to you.

Now in the third part, I want to ask you some questions related to this topic.

Why do people do charity for others?

I think people do charity for others

because it's part of the empathetic side of the human heart to just see the needs in other people

and just help them out with that because everybody struggles.

So if I receive help, why wouldn't I give help to others? as well.

And do you think charity work is a selfish thing to do?

It depends on the intentions of the person that does it

because some people generally help without expecting anything in return

but there's other people that expect some recognition or just to feel like they're good people for doing small actions.

And what kinds of charities are there in your country?

Oh there are many charities in my country

but the most famous ones are teletone

which is for disabled children red nose for children with cancer and there are many that help the elderly as well

and which one do you think is more useful

or is more needed for you leave i think all of them are

important and useful but i think the ones related to children

and the elderly are the most important ones why do you think

so because these are the groups that struggle the most like the children

100

and utterly are some of the most vulnerable groups in society

101

so helping them with their health needs

102

and life situations i think that's very important

103

and how about the corporations in your country do Do they also contribute to charity?

104

Well, they do.

105

I think some corporations, or at least most of them, choose a charity every year.

106

And they help them by doing campaigns, involving their co-workers or even their communities.

107

So I think it's something very, very common in my country.

108

And how about the charities?

109

Should charities be allowed to make a profit?

110

They should be allowed to make a profit as long as they are actually helping society.

111

Because we need people that dedicate their time fully to charities in order to actually help.

112

So, but those people cannot live out of just helping.

113

They need to survive.

114

They need money.

115

So that's, I think that would be the situation.

116

Thank you very much.

117

This is now the end of the speaking test.

125

Okay, now let's talk about what you did, Anna.

126

But first, I would like to give you the feedback based on the criteria, and then we can talk about your overall underscore.

127

So to talk about the first criteria, your fluency and coherence, I can say that I really enjoyed listening to like your answers,

128

what you were saying in different parts, because you were able to speak fluently, and you had the flow of speech.

129

And you had a few self-repetition or hesitation, but it was something very natural, as you do it in your mother tongue,

130

because you were thinking about the next idea that you wanted to elaborate on, and you were just trying to analyze what you wanted to say.

131

Other than that, how you answered the questions in part one, which was all about short answers.

132

And the second part, covering the two minutes, covering all the bullet points.

133

And the third part to give some longer answers, more explanations.

134

Everything was really good in your performance.

135

And the last thing that I want to mention regarding your fluency

136

and coherence is the range of connectives that you were using.

137

Like other than those four simple connectives and So, but, because you were also able to use in order to,

138

apart from also, not only, but also.

139

So these were some good ones that you were using, which gave you this chance to make some more complex structures,

140

which is also related to the other criteria, grammatical range and accuracy.

141

So this is about your fluency and coherence.

142

It was a really good performance, the discourse markers, the connectives, and your topic development.

143

Now to talk about the next criteria, your lexical resource, your vocabulary.

144

Regarding your vocabulary, I can say that you were able to talk about familiar and unfamiliar topics.

145

And you used a range of words and collocations, like for example, to switch to a job or to stick to the good job, the good ones.

146

and to receive donations when you were talking about charity, the stray animals, to look up to something,

147

and some other words that were related to the topic.

148

And now to talk about your grammatical range and accuracy, the next criteria.

149

I really liked how neat and to the point you were giving me the answers.

150

Like the grammar, the structures that you were using, it was almost error-free.

151

and you use the range of tenses and complex structures like conditional sentences, subordinate clauses and relative clauses, which was a very good one.

152

And also I talked about connectives and fluency and coherency, remember?

153

That also helped you with your complex structures and grammatical range and accuracy.

154

And this is all about your grammar.

155

And the most important thing I say is to be error-free.

156

If you're using a range of complex structures, but you're making mistakes, and, you know, using them incorrectly, then what's the point?

157

So the fact that you were speaking error-free, you were using some error-free sentences, that's a very good thing. And finally, your pronunciation.

158

First of all, everything was clear.

159

It was very clear and easy to understand what you were saying.

160

And other than that, you had a very good pace of the speech.

161

It was not too fast or not too slow it was just okay and good, correct.

162

And besides that, you used some good features of pronunciation features,

163

like the correct intonation and the pronunciation of the words, and the word stress, the sentence stress,

164

these are also very important.
