Ooh, this woman is going to take the CELPIP exam.

And she's studying for task one.

of the speaking test.

which is giving advice and she's using my book to practice wow i'm

so excited about that i want to say thank you

so much to everyone who's bought my book

and using my book to help them practice

and prepare for the cell pip test it's a real honor

that i can help you in this way you know i know can be to pass the CELPIP test.

It's not an easy exam.

It's hard and a lot of people have told me, you know, I failed like three or four times.

I'm trying so hard to pass this test.

I know.

I just want to acknowledge how hard it is.

and how frustrating it can be.

But hey, keep going, keep going, you can do it.

So I just, I wrote this book to really help you

and I just want to say thank you for buying my book and helping me, supporting my work, you know, subscribing to my YouTube channel,

liking my videos, commenting, encouraging me.

I just, I really appreciate that.

So thank you so much for helping me.

Hey, if you .cool and then you can download a PDF format of my book.

It's just in PDF format.

Now the reason I did that and made it in PDF format was just

so that you could have it on your computer

or you could have it on your phone like here I have it on my phone.

Anywhere you go you can just be looking at this and learning English.

For example, if you're using the bathroom, you can just be Reading my book.

Oh, hmm.

That's a good tip for task 3 on the test.

Okay, so it's really easy to get this book.

And sometimes people, they email me and they say, "Mark, I've booked my CELPIP test for next weekend." How should I study for it?

"Pfff, okay, you're only giving yourself one week to study for the Cellphip exam?

That's not enough time, you need more time." But I get a lot of questions like this,

so because of that I thought it's better if it's in PDF format because then people can download it instantly.

Okay, if it's like a hard copy that I would sell on Amazon or something like that, you know, the shipping time will take like four or five days.

So a lot of people, they don't have four or five days to wait.

They need something instantly.

Okay, so if you want this book right now, you can go to my website and get it.

But hey, in this lesson today, we're going to look at task one, giving advice.

And so in this question, you have 30 seconds to prepare and 90 seconds to speak.

What's your strategy going to be when you answer this question?

Well, let's take a look at one of the questions from my book.

Okay.

his driver's license and wants to buy his first car.

Give him some advice on how to buy a car.

What would you say in your answer.

for this question.

What would you talk about?

Well, I made a lesson a few months ago on how to answer task 1 on the CELPIT

and we looked at this example.

in that video.

Okay, your friend is looking for a summer job.

Advise him about different ways he can find work for the summer.

Okay now After I made that video, a bunch of people commented on the video and then they said,

"Wait, Wait, wait, wait, you didn't answer it right.

You made a mistake.

You didn't answer it properly.

You're not answering what the question is asking.

- Thank you.

And so, I mean, okay, let's take a look.

What did I say?

So I answer this question by saying, you know, by talking about an outdoor job, maybe my friend could get an outdoor job or a pizza delivery job,

or maybe, you know, a nighttime job.

Okay, so I gave these, you know, I gave these answers in my advice.

to my friend.

And people say, "Well that's not answering the question." Well, okay, let's take a look at what the question says.

It says, "Advise him about different ways he can find work for the summer." Different ways.

Hmm.

So the question is asking ways about ways to find a job, right?

And my answer talked about the different kinds of jobs that my friend could get.

So you're right.

There is a bit of a difference there, right?

This way...

this is talking about the ways, and here I'm talking about the jobs.

So, yes, you are right, but let's look at...

I mean, how would you answer this?

Ways to find a job.

What are the different ways a person could find a job?

Well, we could say you could look online and Um.. you could visit a job fair.

you could apply in person.

A job fair is something that usually universities or colleges hold to help their students get a job.

Basically, they bring employers and students together in a job fair.

That could be a good option.

Looking online could be a good option.

These are all different ways a person could find a job. So,

this is actually great okay this is a really good way to answer the question the problem is

that you only have 30 seconds to prepare for this answer.

What are you going to say?

It's going to take you at least 10 or 15 seconds to read the question.

So you won't even have like any time to take notes.

Okay, so your answer will not be perfect.

That's the first thing I want to say.

Your answer won't be perfect.

Don't try to get perfect answers.

And after you finish answering a question, just forget about it.

Don't worry about, you know, maybe that you didn't understand the question or you answered it wrong.

It's probably okay.

So just forget about it and move on to the next one.

100

Okay, here's the other thing.

101

Don't overthink the question.

102

A lot of people, they overthink the question.

103

Blake my example about finding the job, I think that's overthinking the question.

104

Look, if you asked me in real life, could you advise me on different ways to find work this summer?

105

I would think, sure, I mean, summertime, the weather's really nice, you might want to work outside.

106

Have you considered looking for a construction job or maybe a painting job or a landscaping job or something?

107

Oh, what about maybe a A pizza delivery job.

108

You know, here in Canada in the summertime, the evenings are really long.

109

and very often they're nice and warm.

110

So it's really nice to be driving at night here, or in the evening here in the summertime, delivering pizza, you can make some great tips.

111

What about working a nighttime job?

112

Sometimes it's fun to work it.

113

Okay, look, so you can see how I'm answering that question naturally.

114

If you ask me on the different ways to find work, that's how I would naturally answer the question.

115

So, look, it's important to be natural.

116

Just try to use natural English.

117

That's more important than being really technical with your answers.

118

So with a lot of these questions, there's flexibility.

119

You can answer them however you want.

120

Okay, so look at this.

121

Question your brother recently got his driver's license

122

and wants to buy his first car give him some advice on how to buy a car?

123

Is there one right answer for this question?

124

No, I mean you could talk about Anything.

125

There could be so many possible answers for this question.

126

Okay, let's take a look at my tips for this.

127

Okay, so remember, When you give advice to your brother, you're not telling him what he should do.

128

You're just giving him suggestions.

129

After listening to your advice, he will make his own decision.

130

That's really important.

131

You're not telling him you should do this, you should do that.

132

You're just giving him some friendly advice and he's going to make his own decision.

133

Okay?

134

In this question, how to buy a car, is referring to the general process of getting a car.

135

You know, what should your brother do first?

136

Just tell them what you should do.

137

For some people, take these kinds of questions too literally.

138

They might focus on the word "how" and think, "Hmm, Pay money.

139

Sign papers.

140

You don't get the license plate might think about but how do I buy a car?

141

Well, okay?

142

I Like, look, you could answer that this way, okay?

143

Like I said, if you give an answer like that, it's probably okay.

144

But really, this question is not that technical.

145

Don't overthink it.

146

Just give him some practical advice on where he should start looking for a car.

147

And then maybe tell him some other aspects of the process if you have time.

148

So, there's just a lot of ways you could answer this, okay?

149

So let's take a look at some some words that I will use in my answer.

150

Okay, the first one is "budget".

151

A budget is the amount of money you want to spend on something.

152

That's a great word to use in this situation.

153

For example, if you ask me, "Mark, what kind of computer should I buy?" My first question would be What's your budget?

154

What's your budget?

155

How much money do you want to spend?

156

$100 $5 ,000?

157

What's your budget?

158

That's the most important thing, right?

159

Second hand.

160

That means not new.

161

So if you're buying a car A used car, the car is second hand.

162

Kijiji is a popular Canadian website for buying second -hand things.

163

I've bought a lot of things on Kijiji.

164

Craigslist is another website that's very similar to Kijiji.

165

Dealership.

166

A dealership is a place that sells cars.

167

It's a building, it's a business that sells cars.

168

Okay, lemon.

169

A lemon is a car with serious problems.

170

So you don't want to buy a lemon.

171

If you buy a lemon, that means something major is going to happen with the car.

172

You know, the engine is not.. going to work properly, just other.. you don't want to have all

173

that headache after you buy a car, right?

174

So don't buy a lemon.

175

It's just going to give you a lot of problems.

176

Private sale.

177

That means you buy from a person, not a business.

178

Okay?

179

Haggle.

180

Haggle, that means bargain.

181

For example, if you're selling a car and I ask you, How much are you selling it for you say five thousand dollars?

182

I can say hmm.

183

I'll give you four thousand and You say, "Mm." $4 ,500.

184

That's called haggling, we're bargaining for the price.

185

Okay?

186

Lowball offer a lowball offer means an offer that is much less than the seller is asking for.

187

Okay, so if you say you're selling your car for $5 ,000 and I offer you $2 ,000.

188

That's a really lowball offer, right?

189

Some people make lowball offers when they buy things through private sales.

190

Okay, now a counter is the reply to your offer.

191

Okay, so if I offer you, let's say 4 ,000 for the car, and you say, "Mmm, no,

192

4 ,500." That's the counter.

193

You're countering with your countering my offer.

194

So my offer, you counter, then maybe I counter, then you counter, then that's called countering.

195

Okay.

196

Insurance.

197

Registration.

198

Auction.

199

These are all words that I would use in my answer here.

200

So an auction is a place where people bid and the highest bidder gets the car.

201

Have you ever been to an auction?

202

An auction doesn't just need to be for car-- it could be for anything.

203

Okay, it's a really interesting place that the auctioneer The person who talks to the crowd is called the auctioneer.

204

He talks really fast like: "1 ,000, who wants 1 ,000, 1 ,500, 2 ,000, 2 ,000, 2 ,33,

205

3 ,344, who wants 4 ,000?" He's talking really, really fast.

206

It would be interesting for you to go to an auction sometime.

207

It's sort of a fun.. experience.

208

Okay, so here's my answer.

209

to this question about giving my brother advice about buying a car.

210

"Hey Mike, I'm really excited for you that you got your driver's license and you're looking for your first car.

211

I've bought and sold several cars in my life so I think I can give you some good advice.

212

Since you just graduated from high school, you probably don't have a huge budget.

213

for a vehicle.

214

The good news is that there are always lots of great second hand vehicles for sale.

215

I just bought a 2008 Toyota Corolla on Kijiji for 2800.

216

Have you browsed Kijiji yet?

217

That's a great online community for second -hand things.

218

Another website is Craigslist.

219

I would start by taking a look on those sites and figure out what kind of car you want to buy.

220

Some people prefer buying vehicles from a dealership because there's less risk of buying a lemon.

221

Or there's less risk of the car being a lemon.

222

Personally I prefer a private sale because you can haggle more over the price.

223

Anyway, after you've found one you like, you send a message to the seller and ask if you can look at the vehicle.

224

and go for a test drive.

225

If you like the vehicle, Then you make an offer on it.

226

Personally, I always start with a lowball offer.

227

For example, if the vehicle is 3000, I would offer 2100.

228

They might counter with 2700.

229

and then you could meet somewhere around 2500.

230

Okay, after you buy the car, you have to get insurance and registration for it.

231

It's a pretty easy process.

232

Anyway, I hope you find a great vehicle.

233

Just let me know if you need any more advice.

234

There's a vehicle auction once a month that I usually go to.

235

If you want to come along sometime, you'd be more than welcome.

236

Okay, so that's basically how I would answer the question.

237

just talking about sort of the process of buying a car, you know, where should he buy it, private sale, car dealership, you know,

238

you could talk about these things or you could talk about other things, you know, too.

239

Like there's more than one way to answer the question.

240

That I think is very important for you to understand.

241

You could answer it immediately in a lot of different ways.

242

Okay, so some people will have a very structured answer,

243

and some people's answer will probably be more free -flowing. Which is better?

244

Well, I think they're both great.

245

You could get a perfect score using a structured answer Or a more natural.. you know, some people, they're very structured.

246

You know, first you should do this.

247

The second thing you should do is this.

248

Then you should do this.

249

Okay, that's a great answer.

250

But if it's more free -flowing, you know, hey Mike, boy, that's a really great question about, you know, advice.

251

Let's see, do I have any advice?

252

Ooh, yeah, one thing, don't buy a Ford.

253

You should buy a Toyota.

254

You could just have a more natural, free -flowing answer like that.

255

Both of them are really great.

256

Look, On the CellPip exam, they're testing you for your English.

257

They're not testing you on your IQ.

258

It's not an IQ test, it's an English test.

259

Okay, now, I mean, you have 90 seconds that you have to speak.

260

Some people have a problem you know, coming up with enough things to say.

261

And that's why I would recommend, you know, telling some stories or using some examples if you sort of are struggling.

262

So I'll give you an example, okay?

263

You could say, "My friend is a mechanic.

264

He told me never to buy a Ford."

265

He told me never to buy a Ford because Ford stands for "Found on Road Dead".

266

"Ford.

267

Found on road, dead." Okay,

268

so this is sort of an English joke that people often use when they're talking about car brands.

269

Toyota, Ford...

270

Oh, don't buy a Ford.

271

Ford stands for "Found on road, dead." Okay, so if you said something like this,

272

talked about, you know, your mechanic friend and the advice your mechanic gave you not to buy a Ford, would that be Would that be good?

273

I mean, is that answering this question?

274

Yeah, I think so.

275

It's related to the question, right?

276

It's relevant.

277

The question is, "Give him some advice on how to buy a car." Yeah, you're giving advice, you know, on how to buy a car.

278

You know, maybe your advice is, "Buy a Toyota." Because in Canadian winters, you don't want your car to break down.

279

You know, you could talk about what kind of car.

280

you you you're recommending you could talk about you know I'm

281

went to buy a car the better to buy car in the winter

282

or the summer I you could answer this in so Many different ways.

283

Okay, so I mean just relax and

284

and just just talk now if you talk the whole time about Toyota versus Ford and That would be bad.

285

The question is not asking what kind of car That's not really what the question is asking.

286

It's not asking you to compare different makes of vehicles.

287

So if you spend your whole time praising Toyota and bashing Ford, that's not good.

288

You need to actually answer the question.

289

Give him some advice on how to buy a car.

290

Okay, so that might be one aspect of what the brand is, but that shouldn't be the whole answer.

291

So does that make sense?

292

You have a lot of flexibility with this question.

293

but your answer needs to be relevant and you can't just talk about something way far out there.

294

But I hope you can see in this example

295

and in the example about the giving advice for the summer job that there's just

296

There's a very natural way to answer the question and you don't have to overthink it.

297

So try to practice that, not overthinking it.

298

Hey, I want to know, do you think there's a difference in how you give advice in English versus your own language?

299

What language do you speak?

300

What's your mother tongue?

301

Do you think there's a difference in how people give advice in your mother tongue versus English?

302

You know, I think...

303

there could be a difference.

304

There could be a difference.

305

You know, for example, people from Russia, they might be more direct.

306

They might say, "You should buy this car, you should buy a car there, you should do this, you should do that." They might be a little bit more direct.

307

Whereas in Canada, our culture is a little bit more indirect.

308

We use words like, hmm, you might want to consider buying a Toyota.

309

You might want to consider buying a car from a dealership.

310

That way you can be sure it's not going to be a lemon.

311

So, I mean, there's just sort of different cultural ways to to give advice.

312

So let me know what your answer is to this question down there in the comments, and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.

313

Take care.

314

you you you Bye.

Um deine Fähigkeiten im Englisch sprechen üben zu verbessern, ist das Shadowspeak-Format besonders hilfreich. Bei dieser Technik solltest du die Audioinhalte des Videos nachsprechen und dabei auf die Geschwindigkeit und den Tonfall des Sprechers achten. Es ist wichtig, dass du versuchst, den Rhythmus nachzuahmen und dabei auch die Intonation zu berücksichtigen. Wenn du das Video in einem gemäßigten Tempo abspielst, kannst du besser mit dem Sprecher mitgehen und deine eigene Aussprache verbessern.

Für den CELPIP-Test ist es außerdem nützlich, dir konkrete Beispiele zu überlegen, die du in deinen Antworten verwenden kannst. Zum Beispiel kannst du darüber nachdenken, welche Tipps du jemandem geben würdest, der sein erstes Auto kaufen möchte. Nutze die zugänglichen Informationen aus dem Video, um deine Gedanken zu sortieren und zu üben.

Schließlich kannst du das Video mehrmals ansehen und beim shadow speak die erforderlichen Phrasen wiederholen. Dies wird dir helfen, nicht nur deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, sondern auch dein Selbstvertrauen beim Sprechen zu steigern. Beginne noch heute, Englisch zu lernen mit YouTube und mache den ersten Schritt in Richtung erfolgreicher Prüfungsvorbereitung!

Grammatik in diesem Video

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

Struktur	Im Video
Bedingungssätze if + Satz, will/would + Verb – eine Bedingung und ihre Folge	if the vehicle is 3000, I would offer
Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist	have told · I've booked · I've bought

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
