Shadowing Practice: IELTS English Podcast - Speaking Topic: Clothes & Fashion - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello everyone, I'm your IELTS tutor Jack and welcome back to another episode of the IELTS plus English podcast.

Today's topic looks fairly easy, it's clothes.

On the surface it looks easy

but to be honest I'm looking at some of the questions now and it does look tricky.

I am looking at my free handout by the way

which you can get at www .jax -english .com

and this will show you some common questions related to the topic and 10 key vocabulary again related to the topic

as i said this is available on my website or

if you are in korea you can access my Naver Cafe at Yongok Yongo Jack's English.

So go and check that out and make the most of this free content.

So as always we'll go through the questions part one first to warm up

and today I think I'm going to be a little bit more strict with my structure.

So we will see that in evidence today and I'll try to explain what I'm thinking as I answer.

So let's start with some part one.

what type of clothes do you like to wear i i

like to wear quite simple clothing i'm not an eccentric person

i don't like to really stand out in the crowd

so i like to wear simple colors simple styles and

because of my job i tend to wear work clothing okay i'm being quite good with my keywords today

so you can check

that on the list of ten words let's go to another

part one how important is fashion to you well fashion in terms of what becomes fashionable

and what goes out of fashion is not important to me

at all I as I said before like simple clothing

so I go to the shop and I choose blues

and whites and blacks i choose smart trousers that go with my shirts

so as you can see today this is a fairly typical

outfit for me as you can hear with my answers i'm not going into a great deal of detail

because this is part one i am keeping it fairly simple and that's what you should do too

uh we'll start to elaborate more as we move into part

three okay we'll do one more part one what kind of

clothes do you dislike due to the type of clothing i like it's really the opposite styles

that i dislike so particularly

that kind of eccentric clothing the colors i i don't wear things like yellows

and pinks i also tend to avoid baggy clothing i don't know why

that is i you know i suppose

because i wear work style clothing it tends to be a bit more slim

but baggy doesn't really suit me okay we'll go straight on to a part two

and this is where it starts to get a bit more difficult

so we would normally have one minute to prepare but I won't be doing that myself

we have the question describe someone you know who dresses well

so I've got to come up with something very quickly that's

two minutes on the clock let's start now I'd like to tell you about my friend Nick.

I first met Nick 10 years ago in Korea and

when I first met him I was really impressed by his style of clothing.

He wore a lot of fashionable items such as skinny jeans or ripped shirts.

To be honest with you I don't really understand fashion

or what is fashionable but you could tell

when you saw him he was a fashionable guy

and he was always choosing new items of clothing he loved

shopping you would I would call him a slave to fashion

because whenever a new fashion came in he bought items connected to

that let me tell you a little more about Nick he is quite a loud

and outgoing guy he likes spending time with people

and he likes going out and going to clubs and pubs and restaurants

so I think he really wanted to stand out he really enjoyed dressing himself himself he also liked dressing up

so when we would go to things like weddings

or some kind of events exhibitions he always dressed up and he was always the smartest person there In my opinion,

firstly, I really like Nick.

I don't see him so much anymore.

But I was really attracted to the attention to detail he had when it came to fashion.

But in my opinion, fashion is not very important and not something

that I really pay as much attention to as I should

so in the future i hope i can take some lessons from nick and apply it to my

dress sense that's what i was going to say

so that's my two minutes up uh this is an interesting one

and genuinely i had no answer for this question

so i lied i don't have a friend called nick i

didn't meet someone 10 years ago it it loosely connects to some you know someone

that i did meet while i was in korea

but um i had to really make that up

and as i progressed through the answer i became more confident with my story

so it's not easy to lie but

if you have your structure like i do

if you have a really solid structure you're very very comfortable with it's much easier to lie

and concentrate on the content

so i'd say the the the lesson from this is really make sure you have a very comfortable uh structure

that you're really confident using

okay let's go on to some part three as i said

at the start of this episode i'm going to be more strict with my structure let me answer

and then i'll give you some details about that

so part three how different are the clothes you wear now from those you wore 10 years ago

my clothes are definitely very different now

when 10 years ago i was quite a young guy

and i used to wear a lot of hoodies baggier jeans more sports clothing i wore

that because really i wanted to be comfortable um i had a very active lifestyle outside of work

and outside of school

so definitely in my life i had different priorities now however i work takes up the majority of my time

and to be to to dress suitably for work it really

has to be shirts trousers more slim clothing shoes not trainers I used to only wear trainers

so I would say that's how I dressed differently from 10

years ago now in terms of strict structure this is another change question we have

so many of these change questions in IELTS

so what did I do I introduced the change I talked

about the past how it used to be I talked about now how I am now

and then I gave a quick conclusion quite a strict structure and one

that I always use for change okay one more question what

do you think the clothes we wear say about us i

think the clothes we wear say a lot about who we are

100

and about our personality if you wear very garish clothing

101

or eccentric clothing styles it probably means

102

that you are quite an eccentric individual you have perhaps a slightly unusual

103

or energetic personality that's something else you know you can wear colors

104

that probably reflect your personality for me personally I tend to wear blacks whites

105

and blues which are very simple and sort of standard colors

106

and perhaps that's reflective of my personality that I like to follow rules

107

and I like to have some structure in my life

108

so I would say

109

that yeah clothes really say a lot about our personality now

110

in terms of strictness again the strictness of structure I gave an introduction so

111

that the direct answer then I explained my answer I gave

112

two sentences of detail by the way this is not prepared this is just looking back at my answer

113

and then I think I gave two sentences as an example

114

my example was for me personally it's the easiest example to use

115

and then I gave a quick conclusion sentence that's a very typical answer for a part 3 question

116

and that is everything I have time for today quite a long episode today.

117

I was trying to be a bit more strict.

118

I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoyed learning how to talk about clothing.

119

Not something that's a particularly big part of my life but still I enjoyed talking about it.

120

¿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.
