Shadowing-Übung: IELTS Speaking Test - Perfect Band 9 - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Let's start off by talking about drinks.

In your country, what do people normally offer guests when they come to their house?

In my country, they usually offer maybe a lemonade or tea, coffee, that's the usual norms.

And what do people normally drink in the summertime?

Again, a lemonade because it's more refreshing or maybe like a fruit juice, a cocktail, something that's more chilled.

And do people drink anything special at weddings?

We do have something called kheer, which is like a sweet dessert drink.

And people usually have it after their meal.

And the tea is usually served after the meal as well.

And it's super sweet.

Now let's talk about food.

What's your favourite food?

So if you're going by cuisines, I really like Italian.

But if we're going to pick something mundane and normal, I like avocado on toast or oatmeal, something healthy.

And if I were to visit your country, what dish would you recommend?

I really like something called dosa.

It's like a savoury crepe and it's had with something called chutney.

It's really nice, light and I think everyone likes it.

What do you normally have for breakfast?

Again, dosa.

It's a breakfast dish, but people also have it throughout the day.

There's something called idli, which is also had with chutney.

and we have a variety of other dishes which is also very carb based.

And when you were a kid what was your favourite breakfast?

I was a very boring child.

I liked oatmeal.

I had oatmeal almost every day.

And do you ever have anything special to eat for breakfast on the weekend?

I really like waffles but I'm aware it's like more on the unhealthier side so I keep it as a treat.

But yeah, I would say waffles.

Now let's talk about hobbies.

What is your hobby?

I really love watching movies.

I watch a lot of movies.

I watch different kinds of movies, different languages.

Doesn't matter to me if it's a different genre.

I love movies.

Have you always loved movies?

I think I got more into movies when I joined university.

Before that it was books for me, but then after joining university it became more of movies.

Now let's talk about your university studies.

What did you study at university?

So I did my undergraduate in Doctor of Dental Medicine

and it was five years and then I did a year of internship in the university as well.

And do you think you will continue with those studies or are you done with studying?

So I am planning on doing a master's program but it's in healthcare management, not a specialization within dentistry,

because I do want to venture into the leadership side of healthcare.

And how useful will your university studies be to you in the future?

I mean, university is such an important part of everyone's life.

Without that, how are we supposed to, I don't know, perform as a working individual within the society?

And I think it just lets you be more and do more with yourself.

Now let's talk about museums.

Did you enjoy going to museums when you were a kid?

I don't think I have been to a lot of museums

but I have been to a few and I really enjoyed it.

I like how calm, I like the art, it's really a calming space.

Are there any interesting museums in your country?

There's plenty but I don't think I've been to any.

Just jumping in to give you our free gift.

We analyzed hundreds of bands 7, 8 and 9 speaking performances and we analyzed the vocabulary.

We've put all the best words, phrases, idioms into one pdf for you.

If you would like that go to the description, click on the link, it's our gift to you.

You can download it 100% for free.

Do you prefer to go to museums by yourself or with your family and friends?

I think it's enjoyed either ways.

By myself, it's like a therapeutic experience because you're by yourself, you're taking it all in, but it's also enjoyable when you go with someone else.

When you visit a different country or city, do you think it's important to visit a museum or not?

I think that differs from each person.

It's very personal to each person.

Everyone has a different taste.

Some people might like going to concerts and others might like going to museums, but I do enjoy going to museums.

And I think it talks a lot about the culture and the traditions of the place that you're visiting.

So I think it's an important part.

So recently I attended a seminar on dental aesthetics.

It was very interesting to me because prior to wanting to be a dentist, I wanted to become plastic surgeon.

So aesthetics has always been such an interesting topic for me.

And it's also something that's changed so much over time.

We as humans have evolved so much into including aesthetics as part of our daily regimen

and it's become such an important part of our lives.

And over time, it has changed so much.

There's so much a person can do to enhance their features, their appearance.

And I think we've come to a stage where everyone is beautiful

because there's just so much enhancement a person can do to improve their appearance.

And modern medicine has taken this such a long way.

And it's always

so interesting to me to see how much of a difference a person can make to their natural appearance using these enhancements.

And recent years, a lot of these facial enhancements have become like an everyday thing.

It's become very normal, very mundane almost.

people go get their face done as like a thing on the weekend.

It's not really like a big procedure.

It's not something that they're scared of anymore.

It's something that comes to them naturally.

And I love that people get to make that choice and they don't have to settle for what they have.

And it's very interesting to me from a medical point of view, how people can achieve facial harmony and like how they can correct their disharmony.

It's very interesting to me and it's also a confidence building thing for a lot of people.

I know a lot of people struggle with their image and body dysmorphia.

There's just so much they can do to correct that now.

So we talked about a piece of work you did for your job.

We're going to move on to part three now and we're going to discuss life satisfaction and job satisfaction.

100

What are some aspects of people's lives that they sometimes feel dissatisfied with?

101

The first thing that comes to my mind is obviously work.

102

Most people are dissatisfied with how much they make

103

or how their work makes them feel or how less time they get to spend with their families.

104

So the first thing that always comes to my mind is work.

105

and then people fight their own battles with family, family affairs, maybe body dysmorphia.

106

A lot of things, I think, but work obviously comes to my mind first.

107

Would you say someone who is ambitious is always a positive person?

108

I mean, it can be like two sides of a coin.

109

Someone who's always ambitious doesn't necessarily always have to take it in a positive manner.

110

Sometimes you can overwork yourself.

111

while working towards those ambitions.

112

And that's not always a good thing.

113

But having an ambition is obviously very important.

114

It's what drives you forward.

115

And that's definitely a positive thing.

116

What do you think is the most important thing to have a satisfactory life?

117

I think doing things for others, something good, something that makes you feel good.

118

And while you can also observe someone else being happy about something that you've done for them.

119

for me personally that would bring a lot of satisfaction

120

and just trying to find happiness in whatever you're doing I

121

think that's the general goal for most people I think

122

that would make someone happy now let's talk about job satisfaction

123

which do you think is more important having a high salary

124

or working with a great team that's like a double-edged sword

125

because you can have a great team but you could be making nothing and that could make you unhappy

126

but you could also be making a lot of money

127

and have a horrible team working with you that could also make you unhappy.

128

So I don't know.

129

It's like you can pick your battle.

130

It could go either ways.

131

And all jobs have their own downsides.

132

So you can never have a perfect job.

133

Do you think there are certain careers that lead to higher satisfaction than others?

134

I'm sure if someone loves what they do so much, then obviously they'll be really satisfied with their work.

135

Whereas someone who's just working to make money it can be tedious

136

and quite hectic and can lead to long-term dissatisfaction

137

so yeah do you think changing jobs regularly is a good strategy for job satisfaction it depends

138

because sometimes you have to keep changing your jobs

139

because you're not in the position that you would like to be in

140

so i understand the whole changing job situation

141

but in the long term i I always think how would it look on your CV?

142

It wouldn't like people would question you.

143

Why have you changed your job so much?

144

But I guess you can explain it to them why you did what you did, but it depends on each person.

145

That's the end of the speaking test.

146

You did very, very well.

147

There's one big problem I'd like to discuss with you.

148

If you would like your speaking assessed one on one, we do offer that as part of our VIP package.

149

watching the video I'll offer you 10% off all you have

150

to do is just go to the description click the link

151

and you can get 10% off today

152

so part one excellent some answers were a little bit short

153

but fine overall and the answers that you gave

154

that were a little bit short were normal

155

because you it was just natural for you to give a

156

short answer it wasn't like you were trying to give short answers

157

because you didn't want to speak or you felt you weren't capable of speaking.

158

So it was absolutely fine.

159

Part two, let's do part three and then we'll do part two.

160

Part three, nothing bad, but a few strategies or tactics to give you that could improve.

161

One thing that could help you develop your answers a little bit more would be examples.

162

So you often discuss the ideas.

163

You often said like, oh, there's two sides to that.

164

And you talked about both sides but you very rarely gave concrete examples

165

so you could give concrete examples from your own life or

166

or something else like you want to go into dentistry

167

or like are people in the medical profession

168

and more satisfied than the legal profession for example

169

or an uber driver are they you know less satisfied than

170

somebody who is a dentist all day I don't know I'm not a dentist

171

but I don't know how satisfied they are

172

and sometimes you also tend to just list lots of things

173

and your first answer you listed quite a lot that's not

174

a huge for you that's not a huge problem my worry would be in the real test

175

if you go in and you're just like well it could be this

176

and it could be this

177

and it could be this you're not really developing your answers you're not going deep on your answers

178

so instead of going wide which is what you tend to do

179

which is like well there's this idea and this idea and this idea it would be better to go deeper,

180

which is let's pick this one and really think about it and really discuss it and think of an example for that.

181

And then maybe, okay, but there's this other side to it and really go deep on that one.

182

As I say, it's not a huge problem.

183

That wasn't the big issue that I'm talking about.

184

I think you did quite well in part three.

185

I just think these would be additional strategies because on test day, you can feel quite nervous and subconsciously a lot of students,

186

even at a very high level like you just want the test to be over.

187

And they tend to just give very short answers because even subconsciously like, I don't want to keep talking.

188

Just stop asking me questions.

189

I want to go home.

190

So I want to give you the best chance of getting a very high score.

191

Part two was where I'm a little bit concerned.

192

Okay.

193

You had no problem talking about that.

194

You had no problem developing that.

195

I'm just a little bit concerned that the question said, Describe a piece of work.

196

So a piece of work is like something you produce.

197

That's because I haven't done anything recently so I had to like make something.

198

But would it be better to make something up that is a piece of work rather than a seminar?

199

The thing is I can talk a lot about this.

200

Like if I were to make up a piece of work, I don't know how much I could talk about it.

201

This comes to me naturally.

202

Right?

203

Yeah.

204

That's one of the things I think you did very well.

205

High I would say it was, I attended a seminar and I had to produce a report about it, or I had to write an email about it,

206

or I had to do something with the information that I got.

207

You could argue that attending a seminar is technically a piece of work.

208

It is a part of my work.

209

Yeah, it is.

210

But I think the way that it's structured.

211

Yeah the question is kind of unrelated to my answer.

212

So because it was saying what this piece of work was, okay a seminar is you could say who you did this piece of work for,

213

who helped you so somebody did somebody help you go to a seminar

214

and explain why you felt so satisfied with this piece of work.

215

That's indicating that you produced something, at the end you produced something.

216

I think that you could get away with it

217

and people would say okay I attended a seminar

218

that kind of is a piece of work that's why I'm not too concerned

219

but I wanted to get your feedback I wanted you why did you decide on

220

that did you think about it or like I thought about it

221

because I haven't done anything that's of significance recently

222

so I was like this is something I could go on talking about

223

and I did attend the seminar so I was like maybe I could develop on that.

224

That is an excellent strategy to steer the conversation towards things you feel comfortable talking about.

225

You did very well in that respect and it meant that you spoke perfectly about that but not about that specific thing.

226

Yeah that specific topic.

227

Now most examiners would probably let you away with that because it's ambiguous whether that is a piece of work or not.

228

The fact that we're even talking about it and the fact that in the comments people are

229

arguing about it probably and shows

230

that most people would most examiners would give you the benefit

231

of the doubt especially considering the rest of your answers were great

232

and so I think that you would be fine

233

but what I would be concerned about is what

234

if on test day you do that for part two

235

and then you do

236

that for a few questions in part three as well they ask you something that's a little bit ambiguous

237

and you decide to talk about something that's not really about that and you keep doing that.

238

I don't think you would, but it's just as a teacher, I want to warn you about that.

239

For this test, I think you're fine, but I have to give you some kind of warning on that because I wouldn't want you to just keep doing that.

240

Let's talk about your scores for pronunciation.

241

Excellent.

242

Every single word that comes out of your mouth, I understand.

243

Very clear, very easy to understand.

244

You also have amazing higher level pronunciation features like your intonation.

245

It sounds very natural, like a native English speaker.

246

And your word stress and sentence stress, again, is very, very natural.

247

An easy bound nine for pronunciation.

248

The other thing that is amazing is your vocabulary and your grammar.

249

I didn't hear a single grammatical error.

250

I didn't hear a single vocabulary error.

251

You also have amazing vocabulary.

252

I love the way that you did steer it towards your area of expertise.

253

So you're saying things like daily regimen, facial harmony, and they can correct their disharmony.

254

It was excellent all the way through.

255

You have no problem discussing any of those topics.

256

And it wasn't as if when you're talking about food or drinks that you don't know how to talk about those.

257

You're still using very high level vocabulary.

258

You're using a lot of idioms that are accurate and appropriate.

259

It can be like two sides of a coin.

260

That's like a double-edged sword.

261

You didn't just insert them to try and use them for the sake of it.

262

It was appropriate because you were saying, oh, there's actually two sides to the story.

263

It's a double edged sword.

264

So vocabulary and grammar are excellent.

265

Your fluency is also excellent.

266

Fluency also for the purposes of the IELTS speaking test also includes, did you answer the question?

267

So your fluency is a band nine, like everything. but

268

if you continue to just not answer the question the examiner

269

despite you speaking at a band line level is forced to give you a lower score

270

so just be very very careful with that

271

but for the purposes of this video and because we discussed

272

that it's kind of a piece of work you would get

273

a band line well done any questions anything thank you

274

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.
