1
Let's talk about food.
2
What's your favorite local food?
3
My favorite local food would have to be, I don't have the exact name for it,
4
but it's this sweet wheat bread with honey glazed on top and cheese.
5
It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory and salty.
6
And it just gives you everything you want at the moment.
7
Everything is perfect.
8
How often do you eat traditional food?
9
Not very often actually.
10
I don't have a specific food that I always go to every time.
11
I eat Asian food, Indian food.
12
Yeah.
13
That's fine.
14
That's fine.
15
Do you think that your local food is healthy?
16
Yes, I do.
17
I do think it's healthy, but it can also be unhealthy.
18
I mean, it really depends.
19
For the most part, yes, I do think it's healthy because it caters to the nutrients and stuff that you need.
20
So yes, I do think it's healthy.
21
How has food culture changed in your city over the years?
22
Food culture, it hasn't necessarily changed.
23
I think it's just grown more.
24
I'm so sorry.
25
No, you don't be sorry.
26
I'm so sorry.
27
Don't be sorry.
28
So a little tip.
29
Don't try and think of the most sophisticated answer.
30
Pick something that is easy to talk about.
31
Okay, so let's talk about listening.
32
What do you like to listen to?
33
I love to listen to music and podcasts, especially relating to criminology and true crime stories.
34
I really enjoy that.
35
Do you prefer to listen to music or factual programs?
36
Music.
37
Music, it adheres to everything you feel and anything you feel.
38
There's just music for everything. So music.
39
Has what you listen to helped you learn anything?
40
Yes, it has helped me learn a lot about emotions, actually.
41
Other people's emotions, their perspectives, as well as my own. So yes.
42
Is there any non-musical content that interests you?
43
Like I said before, true crime podcasts.
44
I truly enjoy listening to that.
45
If I'm studying or I simply want to just relax and listen to something, true crime podcasts.
46
Now let's talk about self-improvement.
47
How do you try to improve yourself?
48
I try to improve myself by interacting with other people because typically I like to be alone.
49
I like to just do my own thing.
50
So I like to socialize to better improve my skills.
51
What would you like to be better at?
52
I would like to be better at conveying my emotions.
53
I would like to be able to seem less apathetic and more empathetic.
54
Like I understand you.
55
I just can't show you that.
56
Do you like to make plans for the future?
57
Yes, I do.
58
I love to plan ahead.
59
I love to have goals.
60
So I have something that I'm inching towards.
61
There's something waiting for me.
62
Yes.
63
And how do you stay motivated?
64
By reminding myself what could be and what will be.
65
I look at my goals.
66
They're not unattainable.
67
I can get them.
68
I can get there.
69
And that's what motivates me.
70
What's the most important lesson you've learned recently?
71
The most important lesson I've learned is...
72
The most important lesson I've learned recently is that you should live for yourself, not for others.
73
Because people, they come and go.
74
And in the end, you're the only one you have.
75
So live for yourself, not for others focus on yourself and your goals and get there.
76
So there was a time where I had a friend, a male, who had a very violent outburst regarding something personal in his personal life.
77
He was volatile, screaming, aggressive.
78
It was horrible and patience was needed.
79
All I could really do was sit back and listen
80
but not just listen hear understand and comprehend what he's saying like truly hear him
81
so he was growing more aggressive and
82
when I tried to speak he would instantly silence me no
83
I want to yell let me yell I want to scream I was like all right sat back I listened
84
and my patience was wearing thin but I managed to keep my composure
85
and the more I listened and stayed calm and looked at him
86
and remained unflappable he slowly began to calm down
87
and match my energy and in that moment I realized
88
if I wasn't calm and I kept talking instead of listening and interrupting, he would have just grown more aggressive,
89
more volatile, and it wouldn't have ended well for either of us.
90
Thankfully, in that moment, it made me realize that patience and remaining calm really does help.
91
Yeah, it was, it, the outcome could have been different in many ways.
92
It could have been horrible, it could have been great.
93
Thankfully, I approached it well, and it ended up well.
94
We've been talking about patience, and we're going to continue to talk about patience a little bit in part three.
95
How does impatience affect relationships?
96
To thank you for watching this video, I want to give you a free course that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score.
97
What it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test and give you strategies for part one, part two, and part three,
98
and also allow you to practice at home for free and get feedback.
99
To sign up for that for free, all you have to do is just click the link in the description.
100
Thanks very much and let's get back to the video.
101
Impatience affects relationships negatively.
102
I truly don't see, in my opinion, I don't see how that could impact a relationship positively.
103
Impatience is typically associated with negative emotions and situations.
104
For example, if they're on a date at a restaurant, the food's taking a little longer than it should,
105
and one of them have an outburst.
106
They're impatient.
107
Where's my food?
108
Where is this?
109
Where's that?
110
It's embarrassing to their partner.
111
People will perceive you as this impatient, arrogant, rude person.
112
And who you are kind of reflects on your partner.
113
So it just doesn't end well for either or.
114
What can parents do to teach their children patience?
115
I think parents can teach children patience by being patient themselves.
116
They adapt to what they see, what they hear.
117
they learn from the parents.
118
So if the parent is impatient, the child's going to be impatient.
119
The child doesn't know any better.
120
All they have is their parents.
121
And if the parent, if the parent's great, the child's great.
122
If the parent's bad, well, the child's gonna learn that maybe be bad.
123
Now let's talk about patience within a professional context.
124
How important is patience in professional development?
125
Extremely important in professional development and just professional settings overall.
126
Patience, in my opinion, I actually think patience is just important in general, but in a professional setting,
127
yeah, it's very important because I mean One wrong move could sever so many possible connections with other professional people or companies. And that's one move.
128
Okay, well, I'm not answering that well.
129
Okay, no problem.
130
Why do some jobs require more patients than others?
131
I think it's based on the clients they have.
132
For example, therapists.
133
of course they need patience I mean like they focus on
134
people who who need patience who need people to listen
135
but in a fast-food joint I think everyone's a bit impatient
136
even though workers are a bit impatient you know everyone's running around
137
so I think it truly depends on the profession and the clients
138
and when it's needed it's needed when it's not it's not but it's best to have it overall.
139
How can organizations better manage people's expectations of time?
140
I think that by actually interacting with their intended targets, they can grow. So, okay.
141
I think by interacting with their intended targets, they can...
142
My brain shut down.
143
I'm so sorry.
144
Hold on.
145
Can you repeat the question?
146
So how can organizations like businesses better manage people's expectations of time, so customers being impatient with businesses and people who work there?
147
I think it just comes down to how you treat the customers
148
because in the end the customer like no matter what you
149
do there's always going to be one customer that's upset unhappy unsatisfied you can't please everyone
150
so what you can do is just give the people what
151
they want to a certain degree that's still within your company's boundaries.
152
and do the best you can.
153
And when there is that one unhappy customer, stay calm, listen, although it's irritating,
154
and hopefully all of you will.
155
Now normally, what I would do is I would give you your scores and everything, but you really want to get into a great university and do a great course,
156
I would really like to just help you.
157
And there's a few things that I can tell you now that will really,
158
really help you and make the process of doing the IELTS test when you're doing it soon just less stressful for you.
159
Because I think half the battle is stress and management of stress and things like that.
160
Your pronunciation is pretty much perfect.
161
Your grammar is perfect.
162
Your vocabulary is perfect.
163
When you're speaking about something you're comfortable talking about, your fluency is perfect.
164
You're at a band nine, but there's a couple of issues that are going to stop you getting there
165
or you're going to be so nervous on test day
166
that you're going to have to repeat the test over
167
and over and over and it's going to be expensive and time consuming.
168
You're doing things that we see very commonly.
169
I can help you with those things.
170
And then we'll go straight into doing another one
171
because what I would like to actually show people is someone at your level, an extremely high level English speaker,
172
very intelligent girl, is having issues that can be fixed very easily.
173
Part one, you will get questions that you don't feel comfortable with.
174
So there's two things that I think you can do.
175
When we were speaking before the test, before the cameras started rolling, you're one of the most fluent people I've ever spoken to.
176
You need to approach the test like a conversation.
177
Maybe don't see me.
178
Maybe you can't see me as a friend, but maybe see me as like if we were working together.
179
It seems as if you are directing your nervousness inward and being like, I don't really know how to answer that question.
180
Instead, I'd just be like, that's a really unusual question.
181
I haven't really thought about that.
182
But if I had to give an answer, you know, don't think that you are the problem.
183
The test is the problem.
184
It's a silly test, you know.
185
Someone like you who is so good at speaking English and I'm asking you silly questions, like, see it that way.
186
You know, it's fine to say, you know, I'm not really into food.
187
I don't really know much about food.
188
If you say that to the examiner, the examiner, if they're a good examiner, will steer the conversation away.
189
Part two, I think, was your best part because you related it to your real life.
190
I wouldn't talk about something that is so personal that you're like, oh, I feel a little bit uncomfortable.
191
But even if you talk about the most boring, inane thing, your job is to get a high IELTS score with the least amount of stress possible.
192
It is not to entertain anybody.
193
It is not to show everyone how great your answers are.
194
And the same with part three, you need to have a more relaxed approach like, I don't know, I've never really thought about that, but I guess.
195
And again, if there's something related to your life, you could talk about that.
196
Do you want to try it all again?
197
So I can just be casual.
198
Exactly.
199
Okay.
200
Okay.
201
Okay.
202
Okay.
203
Okay.
204
Let's talk about entertainment.
205
What do you do for entertainment?
206
I read books like the Odyssey, actually.
207
I love the Odyssey.
208
I'm really into Greek mythology.
209
So I read, I write sometimes and listen to music, entertainment.
210
What's your absolute favorite way to spend free time?
211
Combining music and literature and coming out with amazing writing. So, yeah.
212
Now let's talk about shopping.
213
Where do you usually go shopping?
214
I go shopping on online clothing stores because they're more easily accessible.
215
What's your favorite thing to shop for?
216
Books.
217
All kinds of books, but mostly books relating Greek mythology.
218
And what do you think makes a good shopping experience?
219
I think it's how you're feeling in the moment.
220
Like if you're in a good mood and you're hitting one of the shops you love the most,
221
you're going to have a great shopping experience but if you're feeling down or you're just not in the mood, you'll enjoy it.
222
Let's talk about photography.
223
Do you like taking photos?
224
Yes, I do like taking photos, but not of myself.
225
Who do you like taking photos of or what do you like taking photos of?
226
Really beautiful moments like the moon shining in the sky or my cats.
227
Can you tell me about the last picture you took?
228
The last picture I took was a picture of my cat backflipping midair.
229
So I learned something new online when I was just casually scrolling through my phone at like midnight.
230
I was going through TikTok and then a scandal popped up.
231
And this one influencer, trusted, admired, truly liked by everyone,
232
got exposed for being a liar, a cheat, scammer.
233
Although I knew, yeah, you can't trust what you see on social media, that person truly felt like down to earth, like one of us, not just an influencer.
234
So in that moment, I realized, OK, you truly, really can't trust any of these people on social media.
235
It helped me realize that I need to stop believing what I see, who they are, because they don't know me.
236
I don't know them.
237
I don't know anything, really.
238
So that is what I learned, that people are just liars on social media most of the time.
239
We've been talking about what you learned online, and we're going to continue to talk about that topic.
240
And let's start off by talking about digital learning.
241
How has online learning changed education in recent years?
242

251
If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.
252
I think there's been many advantages and disadvantages.
253
Advantages being there are many students who can't attend physical school
254
or there are students struggling with mental issues where they can't really interact with the teachers
255
and the students and it's just they're not meant for physical school
256
so it truly helps them or or there are students working
257
and they can't attend physical school so
258
that that's an advantage disadvantage cheating is a possibility i mean it's a possibility in physical school too
259
but on online school it's cheating is easier it's much easier you can access many tools
260
so i'd say it's both helped and And it's both an advantage and a disadvantage.
261
Hindered is the word.
262
Oh my god, okay.
263
Don't worry, don't worry.
264
Do you think traditional universities will be replaced by online learning in the future?
265
No, I don't.
266
I think that universities, physical universities are here to stay.
267
They've been here for centuries, they'll continue to be here.
268
But I do think that online learning will be incorporated if it hasn't already, and I'm pretty sure it has been.
269
So I think they'll learn to work together, but neither is going.
270
Let's talk about technology and education.
271
How has technology changed the way people access information in education in the classroom?
272
I think that technology has actually impacted the way students learn
273
because with technology everything is so easily accessible just one type into one website
274
and you get everything you're searching for students are no longer
275
interacting with each other unless they're forced into group projects
276
because they're not asking each other for help they have technology
277
teachers you know now they're relying on technology they're like search this up this online textbook search it up read it, come back to class, I'll test you.
278
So I think more negatively impacted students in the classroom.
279
Do you think there are any downsides to having instant access to information?
280
Yes I do, because while they are instant, they may not be accurate.
281
You can search up anything and you will always get an answer no matter what it is, but it doesn't mean it's an accurate true answer.
282
So Yes, I do think that there are downsides because you can be fed false information so easily.
283
Excellent.
284
Well done.
285
That's the end of the speaking test.
286
So, wasn't that better?
287
It was better.
288
It was better.
289
Why do you think it was better?
290
More casual, calm, chill.
291
Yeah.
292
So, there's a few things that I would like to help you with.
293
So, one, you are trying to find like the perfect word or the perfect thing to say.
294
Your English is good enough to get a band 9.
295
Less than 1% of people in the world get a band 9 when we're doing the IELTS test.
296
Okay.
297
So you are at a very, very high level, but you're trying too hard.
298
All you need to do is show the examiner what you're really capable of
299
and use tactics that allow you to do that, allow you to shine.
300
One thing that I think that you're really good at is talking about personal stories related to these topics.
301
The IELTS test will often be very vague topics.
302
For example, a time you learned something new online, there's so many things that you could choose.
303
Or it could be like a time when you had to be very patient.
304
So many things that you could choose.
305
Choose the things easiest for you to talk about.
306
The other thing that I noticed is you often will stop when you can't think of the right word.
307
For example, hindered, you know, what is a simpler version of that?
308
What is a way you could reformulate?
309
So instead of saying merits and demerits, you couldn't think of demerits like advantages and disadvantages.
310
Hindered, let's stop them doing well.
311
You can say things in a less precise way
312
that is more fluent for you because you have to balance vocabulary and fluency.
313
And then the other thing is I could see just with your body language, you were far more relaxed in that time.
314
Like you were literally like sitting on the side of the chair very, very relaxed.
315
And when you did that, you were a lot more fluent.
316
And then finally, what I would say is feel free to say to the examiner, I don't know much about that.
317
I don't know anything about that.
318
Not everyone can know everything about everything.
319
That is not what it is.
320
If you do that, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a band nine because that is the level that you're at.
321
There are thousands of stories about athletes or musical performers or anyone that has to perform that they're the best,
322
but they get it in their own way.
323
You're kind of like that.
324
Any questions or anything I can help you with?
325
It's just like, because when I'm speaking to someone, I'm just casual and I don't really care about if I sound informal or formal.
326
I'm just like, you know.
327
Well, they're not testing formal academic English.
328
They're testing speaking in general.
329
Because there's two types of people that do the IELTS test.
330
There's people who want to go to university, and then there's people like my wife, for example, who's from Vietnam.
331
She wanted just to move to the UK because she was unfortunate enough to marry someone from there.
332
She had to move there.
333
What they do is, in the speaking test, they put all those people together.
334
So someone like you who wants to study maybe law in a university or my wife who just wants to move.
335
So it would be unfair to expect my wife to use highly academic language
336
when that's not the purpose or that's not the reason why she's doing the IELTS test.
337
So the solution to that is they don't test academic formal English.
338
They just test English.
339
So there's normal everyday English.
340
I know it's hard, but imagine I'm your friend.
341
The examiner is your friend.
342
How would you speak to that person?
343
Yeah, but most examiners aren't like you.
344
They aren't like you at all.
345
That's why you use your imagination.
346
So, I don't know.
347
Be an actress for 15 minutes.
348
It's only 15 minutes.
349
Go in and literally pretend you are a person who is very relaxed
350
and is just going to speak in a very relaxed way.
351
Would that help?
352
Yeah.
353
Yeah, cool.

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.
