Shadowing Practice: CELPIP Speaking Mock Test with Sample Answers - Learn English Speaking with Video

In today's class, we're going to work through a CELPIP speaking practice test.

Are you ready?

First, I'll give you some tips.

Then, you'll have the chance to answer the questions yourself.

And finally, I'll show you a high -scoring sample response for each task.

Let's jump straight in with today's first task, giving advice.

This task takes about two minutes to complete.

You'll be asked to give advice to a friend, family member, or colleague in a specific situation.

You'll have 30 seconds to prepare and then 90 seconds to speak.

On test day, you'll see a screen like this.

The question prompt appears in bold blue text at the top.

We can see it says, your friend is feeling stressed because they have an important exam coming up.

What advice would you give them?

Below that, you'll see a countdown timer showing how much preparation time you have before the voice recorder begins.

So, to do well, you'll need to analyze the situation and deliver a structured, thoughtful response.

I'll now share a quick four -step method for this task.

This will help you keep your answer focused and ensure you cover all the key parts.

The four steps are… Step 1.

Give a strong opening statement.

In the opening statement, you'll acknowledge the situation and show empathy.

Step 2.

Give two pieces of advice.

Think of two helpful suggestions and explain why they would work.

Feel free to give more advice if you have the time.

Step three, give encouragement and support.

Be sure to encourage the person and show confidence in your advice.

Step four, make a concluding statement.

Wrap up by reinforcing the value of your advice.

Okay, now it's time for you to have a go.

Are you ready?

Ready?

You can record yourself speaking for 90 seconds using your phone or computer.

Start by setting your timer to 30 seconds to plan your answer.

After that, record your answer.

You now have 10 seconds to pause the video and have a go for yourself.

Then we'll look at a sample answer.

Start now.

Okay, how did that go?

Let's listen to a high -scoring sample response and break it down.

Hey Sally, I completely understand that preparing for an important exam can be stressful, but don't worry, you've got this.

First of all, I suggest making a study plan.

Breaking down topics into small sections and reviewing them daily will help you stay organized and reduce anxiety.

In addition, take short breaks while studying.

Research shows that resting for a few minutes improves concentration and memory.

Finally, make sure to get enough sleep before the exam.

A fresh mind will help you perform better.

Stay positive, and I'm sure you'll do great.

With the right strategy and mindset, you'll feel much more in control and confident on exam day.

Now, let's do a quick analysis of this response in line with our four -step method.

Starting with step one, give an opening statement we heard,

Hey Sally, I completely understand that preparing for an important exam can be stressful, but don't worry, you've got this.

This is a good opening statement because it gives an overview of the prompt and response.

Sally is stressed, and the speaker wants to help her.

Moving on to step two, give two or more pieces of advice.

We first heard, First of all, I suggest making a study plan,

Again, breaking down topics into small sections and reviewing them daily will help you stay organized and reduce anxiety.

This is good because the speaker lets the listener know that this is the first piece of advice, implying that there is more to come.

Then we heard the second piece of advice.

Note the words, in addition.

In addition, take short breaks while studying.

Research shows that resting for a few minutes improves concentration and memory.

Both pieces of advice given here are really good in that they are practical and clear.

The speaker also gave an additional tip, which is optional, but if you can think of additional tips and you have time, try to fit them in.

This additional piece of advice is...

Finally, make sure to get enough sleep before the exam.

A fresh mind will help you perform better.

Moving on to step three, try to remember to give encouragement and support.

Stay positive, and I'm sure you'll do great.

Finally, for Step 4, the speaker made a concluding statement.

With the right strategy and mindset, you'll feel much more in control and confident on exam day.

So… To sum up, our sample answer has a clear structure, gives thoughtful advice, and shows genuine support.

This answer is about 50 seconds long, gives advice and examples, and stays focused on the topic.

Just what you need to get a strong score.

If you'd like more CELPIP speaking practice, specifically the Task 1 giving advice, head to e2language .com and get started on your test prep for free.

Okay, next up is Task 2, talking about a personal experience.

CELPIP Speaking Task 2 is all about telling a short personal story.

You'll need to describe a past experience clearly and with good detail.

You'll get 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.

This is a bit shorter than Task 1.

And here it is.

Like Task 1, you'll see the question prompt in bold blue text, followed by a timer showing your preparation time.

After that, the voice recorder will start and you'll need to speak.

Here's the question prompt.

It says, talk about a time you helped someone in need of assistance.

What happened?

How were you able to help?

How did you feel?

Why was it memorable?

So, what do you need to do?

You need to describe a real personal experience, give enough details, and explain your thoughts and feelings clearly.

To help you organize your response for Task 2, talking about a personal experience, we recommend using this simple four -step method.

It'll help keep your story clear, logical, and engaging.

Step 1 is to give an introductory statement.

The introductory statement sets the scene.

Say when and where the experience happened.

Step 2 is to give a description of the event.

Here you'll describe what happened step by step.

Focus on the key actions.

Step three is to state your feelings or reactions.

100

In this step, you'll talk about how the experience made you feel and why.

101

Step four, give a concluding statement.

102

End with a final thought, lesson learned, or reflection.

103

Okay, now it's your turn to try.

104

Are you ready?

105

Start by setting your timer to 30 seconds to plan your answer.

106

Then record yourself speaking for 60 seconds using your phone or computer.

107

You now have 10 seconds to pause the video and have a go for yourself.

108

Then we'll look at a sample answer.

109

Start now.

110

How did it go?

111

So, let's listen to a high -scoring sample answer and then break it down using our method.

112

Last year, during the winter holidays, we had several weeks when it snowed nearly every day.

113

This is when I helped my elderly neighbor shovel snow from her driveway whenever it snowed heavily.

114

I knew that she had recently injured her arm and couldn't do it herself,

115

so I just grabbed my shovel and cleared the snow whenever her driveway and walkways needed clearing.

116

It took about 30 minutes, but I knew it would make her day easier, and it was great exercise for me.

117

She was so grateful and even baked me cookies as a thank you.

118

I felt really happy and proud to help out, especially during the holiday season.

119

It reminded me how small actions can make a big difference.

120

I'd definitely do it again.

121

Okay, now that you've heard it, let's analyze it a bit more closely with our four -step method.

122

Let's start with step one.

123

We made a clear introductory statement emphasizing when and where.

124

Last year, during the winter holidays, we had several weeks when it snowed nearly every day.

125

This is when I helped my elderly neighbor shovel snow from her driveway whenever it snowed heavily.

126

The main point of this statement is that the speaker clearly stated when, during winter holidays, and where, their neighborhood, and what they did.

127

This is a good opening.

128

Next, for step two, the speaker described the event in more detail.

129

I knew that she had recently injured her arm and couldn't do it herself, so I just grabbed my shovel and cleared the snow whenever her driveway and walkways needed clearing.

130

It took about 30 minutes, but I knew it would make her day easier, and it was great exercise for me.

131

The strength of this answer is that it nicely tells the story.

132

It also nicely folds into step three, which is to state the speaker's feelings or reactions.

133

In the answer, the speaker said, She was so grateful and even baked me cookies as a thank you.

134

I felt really happy and proud to help out, especially during the holiday season.

135

Finally, for step four, make a concluding statement.

136

The speaker finished it off with, It reminded me how small actions can make a big difference.

137

I'd definitely do it again.

138

This response is a fine finish because it's clear, detailed, and personal.

139

The overall response uses the full 60 seconds and includes emotional reflection, which is important for scoring well in Task 2.

140

Remember, Task 2 is your chance to tell your story, so be confident, be expressive, and be yourself.

141

If you'd like more CELPIP speaking practice, head to e2language .com and get started on your test prep for free.

142

Next up is task 3, describing a scene.

143

In this task, you'll be shown a picture, and your job is to describe what you see.

144

You'll get 30 seconds to prepare, and then 60 seconds to speak.

145

The goal here is to show how well you can observe details and express them clearly.

146

So here it is.

147

On test day, your screen will display a picture, usually a lively scene with multiple people or actions taking place.

148

It could be a park, a shopping center, a classroom, or a busy street.

149

You'll also be able to see a prompt.

150

It says, describe as many details as you can about the scene.

151

The person you're speaking to cannot see the picture.

152

Your job is to describe everything you see as clearly and thoroughly as possible.

153

Imagine that you're describing the scene to someone who can't see it.

154

You're painting a picture with your words.

155

Your description should include what people are doing, where they are, what they look like, and what objects or surroundings are visible.

156

To help structure your answer, use this three -step method for Task 3.

157

Step 1.

158

Give an overview of the scene.

159

Start with a general sentence that gives an overview of the image.

160

Where is the scene taking place?

161

What kind of setting is it?

162

Step 2.

163

Give a detailed description of people and actions.

164

Describe what the people are doing, how they look, and where they are in the picture.

165

Use directional language like on the left, in the middle, in the background, etc. Step 3.

166

Give any additional details and objects.

167

Include details about the environment, objects, weather, signs, or anything else you notice.

168

The more specific you are, the better.

169

Okay, practice time.

170

Are you ready?

171

Start by setting your timer to 30 seconds to plan your answer, then record yourself speaking for 60 seconds using your phone or computer.

172

You now have 10 seconds to pause the video and have a go for yourself.

173

Then we'll look at a sample answer.

174

Start now.

175

How did it go?

176

Let's listen to a high -scoring sample answer and break it down using our three -step method.

177

This picture shows a park on a sunny afternoon.

178

There are lots of people enjoying outdoor activities.

179

On the left, two children are playing with a soccer ball.

180

They are kicking it back and forth between each other.

181

Near the center of the picture, there are two joggers.

182

A woman is jogging along a path towards the children Another

183

jogger is running on the grass in the opposite direction On the right side, a man is sitting on a bench reading a newspaper He appears to be content

184

and happy sitting in the sunshine There's also a person walking

185

a dog in the background There are trees lining the path The park seems very well tended

186

and is green and lush The sky is clear and it looks like a warm, peaceful day Okay, for step one,

187

the speaker gave an overview of the scene, a big picture view.

188

This picture shows a park on a sunny afternoon.

189

There are lots of people enjoying outdoor activities.

190

This is good because it sets the speaker up for step two, which is to describe people and their actions in a bit more detail.

191

Let's listen again to our sample response.

192

Can you hear the more detailed description of people and what they're doing?

193

On the left, two children are playing with a soccer ball.

194

They're kicking it back and forth between each other.

195

Near the center of the picture, there are two joggers.

196

A woman is jogging along a path towards the children.

197

Another jogger is running on the grass in the opposite direction.

198

On the right side, a man is sitting on a bench reading a newspaper.

199

He appears to be content and happy sitting in the sunshine.

200

There's also a person walking a dog in the background.

201

Finally, for step three, the speaker spoke about additional details.

202

There are trees lining the path.

203

The park seems very well tended and is green and lush.

204

The sky is clear and it looks like a warm, peaceful day.

205

This response is great because it describes what's happening, where it's happening, and who is doing what all clearly and in detail.

206

In task 3, your job is to observe, describe, and communicate visually through words.

207

The more clearly and competently you speak, the better your score.

208

209

Okay, here's the final task for today.

210

Task 4, Making Predictions.

211

CELPIP Speaking Task 4, Making Predictions, is closely related to Task 3.

212

In this task, you'll be shown the same picture you saw in Task 3.

213

However, in this task, you'll be asked to predict what might happen next, and just like the last task,

214

you'll get 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.

215

Here it is.

216

As you can see, it's nearly identical to what you saw for Task 3, but the question prompt will be different.

217

It says, look at the picture.

218

What do you think will happen next?

219

So, what might happen next in that scene?

220

Well, to help you with your ideas, I recommend using this four -step prediction method.

221

Step one, start with a description of what you observe, briefly describing what's happening now.

222

Step two, focus on a prominent person or people in the image and predict what they will do next and why.

223

Step three, focus on a second person or people and predict what they will do next and why.

224

Step four, make a concluding comment.

225

Wrap it up with a final thought or summary prediction.

226

It's now your turn to practice.

227

Are you ready?

228

Start by setting your timer to 30 seconds to plan your answer.

229

Then record yourself speaking for 60 seconds using your phone or computer.

230

You now have 10 seconds to pause the video and have a go for yourself.

231

Then we'll look at a sample answer.

232

Start now.

233

So, how did it go?

234

Let's listen to a high -scoring sample response

235

and then break it down using our four -step prediction method right now the park looks vibrant

236

and full of life children are playing soccer a man is sitting on a bench enjoying reading a newspaper

237

and joggers and dog walkers can be seen in the background enjoying the sunshine and fresher air

238

i think the children playing soccer will probably kick the soccer ball into the wide open field and they'll cheer and laugh.

239

They seem very energetic, happy, and focused on the game.

240

Meanwhile, the man on the bench might finish reading his paper.

241

He might be the children's father and decide to join in playing soccer with the children.

242

If he isn't their father, since the weather is nice, it's a perfect opportunity for a relaxing stroll.

243

Overall, it looks like the park will stay lively, with people enjoying the sunshine and spending quality time outdoors.

244

More visitors might even arrive as the day continues.

245

Okay, starting with step one, note the speaker gave an overview of the picture, picking out two sets of people and activities that were the focus of the predictions.

246

Right now, the park looks vibrant and full of life.

247

Children are playing soccer, a man is sitting on a bench enjoying reading a newspaper,

248

and joggers and dog walkers can be seen in the background enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.

249

Next, for steps two and three, make two predictions.

250

We heard the speaker say, I think the children playing soccer will probably kick the soccer ball into the wide open field and they'll cheer and laugh.

251

They seem very energetic, happy, and focused on the game.

252

Meanwhile, the man on the bench might finish reading his paper.

253

He might be the children's father and decide to join in playing soccer with the children.

254

For step four, the concluding statement, the speaker rounded out their response by saying that, if he isn't their father, since the weather is nice,

255

it's a perfect opportunity for a relaxing stroll.

256

Overall, it looks like the park will stay lively, with people enjoying the sunshine and spending quality time outdoors.

257

More visitors might even arrive as the day continues.

258

This answer works well because it's realistic, logical, and gives clear reasons for each prediction.

259

Plus, it uses a variety of vocabulary and keeps a friendly tone.

260

And that's it.

261

That's the end of today's CELPIP speaking practice test.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
