1
Hello and very nice to meet you.
2
Good afternoon.
3
What is your name please?
4
My name is Minh Sungbui.
5
Fantastic.
6
And Minh, how are you feeling today?
7
I feel a bit nervous but I wish to try my best.
8
Wonderful.
9
So Minh, the exam today will be about 12 to 15 minutes.
10
If you're happy we can start?
11
Yeah, that's right.
12
Fantastic.
13
So I want to start today with the topic of keeping in touch.
14
Minh, how do you usually keep in touch with your friends or family?
15
Nowadays, due to the development of technology, there are many ways to keep in touch with my social network.
16
I usually use different application of social media such as Facebook or Instagram to communicate with them.
17
Thank you.
18
Do you prefer messaging or calling?
19
I would refer calling because I felt it is extremely important
20
that I can have a better idea about that person appearance as well as health condition.
21
For example, when I first arrived in Australia, I took every chance to call to my mom
22
because I want to make sure that she looked stunning as well as didn't have any sense of tightness.
23
Thank you, well done.
24
How's the way people keep in touch changed in recent years?
25
When I was younger I can vividly remember
26
that my generation didn't have much cutting -edge technology
27
so we often wrote a letter to invite my friends to hang out for example
28
but now thanks to the development of technology we can communicate with others regardless distance limitation.
29
Excellent let's move on now to talk about learning new things.
30
Min, do you enjoy learning new things?
31
Absolutely, it's always intrigued me because I believe that due to the overpopulation,
32
nowadays our society is becoming more competitive.
33
So retaining a new ability helps me to apply for different prestigious job opportunities.
34
Thank you.
35
Thank you.
36
What was the last thing you learned?
37
It's an interesting question.
38
It was last year when I went to a fantastic Malaysian restaurant.
39
I was so impressed by the cuisine.
40
As a result, I asked for the restaurant recipe.
41
But I keep trying cooking it at home.
42
Finally, I felt over the moon when I actually cooked this dish.
43
Wow, fantastic.
44
Maybe you'll have to cook it for me one day.
45
And finally for part one, is it easy for you to learn new things?
46
I don't think it's too complicated for me,
47
but I believe you need to be more patient as well as being working harder to achieve the final result.
48
And it's not really bad to try anything actually.
49
Try it, try it.
50
If you don't succeed, try again.
51
Wonderful, thank you, Min.
52
Let's move on now please to part 2.
53
Now in part 2, I will give you a question and you have one minute to prepare.
54
The question today, Min, is could you please describe an activity you did for the first time?
55
Okay, that takes us to the end of the one minute.
56
When you're ready, please start.
57
There are many hobbies that I could talk about.
58
However, if I had to pick one, it would be Jimmy.
59
I chose it because it's extremely important in order to enhance my mental and physical health.
60
It was last year
61
when I worked with my illegally handsome co -worker we talked
62
about the importance of having a good appearance as well as the physical ability
63
and he suggested me that we should go to gym together to improve my endurance
64
because I have to admit that I look really bad about my body at that time Firstly,
65
when I went to the gym,
66
I was scared to death because I was a beginner and look at the professional they lift a really heavy weight.
67
However, my coworkers helped me a lot to improve my ability
68
and as a result I felt that I have a better body nowadays actually.
69
So let me tell you more about the location.
70
It's just near my house so it's really a good idea
71
that I can walk to the gym and I do a bit of cardio as well.
72
In my opinion, these activities not only help me to release the amount of stress that I receive from working or studying,
73
but also it's important to strengthen my relationship with my best friend.
74
In conclusion, I really want to maintain this hobby in the future.
75
Thank you.
76
Well done, Ben.
77
Thank you.
78
Well done.
79
Well, I can see that the gym is working for you.
80
Amazing.
81
Well done.
82
Okay, Ben.
83
Well, now we'll move on to part three.
84
And I want to start by talking about new experiences.
85
Ben, why are new experiences important for personal growth?
86
Absolutely.
87
Knowledge is one of the most valuable factors that I could talk about
88
because it allows me to improve my understanding of different topics.
89
For example, regarding international students,
90
they can apply to different big corporations around the world as
91
a result of they have been adopting a new lifestyle throughout the period of studying overseas.
92
That's why I think learning a new experience is very important to younger generations.
93
Do you think young people try things more than older people?
94
Older people can be really outdated because they cannot access to various useful information nowadays
95
because the majority of it is all written down by using English.
96
Moreover, I think that the health condition is also the biggest problem of elderly people. For example,
97
many team parks in the world not allowed it is not allowed all the people to attend in the games which
98
because it can associated with a lot of serious health
99
condition problems that's why younger generation can try many things compared to older generation Tell me a minute,
100
do you think schools should encourage students to try unfamiliar activities?
101
Yes, absolutely schools can introduce students to do more unfamiliar activities because it is extremely important to diverse their experience.
102
For example, throughout the occasion to historical future,
103
the students can learn more about the national heroes as a result they can have a vividly lesson about
104
that history compared to the just a document at school.
105
However, it also can create more workload for students regarding Vietnam.
106
The student always complains about the amount of homework that they have to do.
107
Absolutely, thank you.
108
Okay, we're going to move on and talk about lifestyle choices.
109
Why do people make unhealthy lifestyle choices?
110
In my opinion, some people chose because it depends on their schedule.
111
Regarding younger generation, Currently, we are living in a fast -paced lifestyle,
112
so they need to work harder and later to achieve the final result,
113
as well as consume more fast food, such as McDonald's.
114
On the other hand, regarding elderly people,
115
they often associated with many serious illnesses such as high glucose blood.
116
As a result, they tend to miss their meals and so they cannot consume enough nutrients for their daily basis Very interesting,
117
wow, thank you for sharing And do you think government should encourage people to change their lifestyles?
118
Government can provide an educational program to engage students to engage young people to change their lifestyle.
119
For example, in Australia, the government often do a lot of advertisement in Spotify,
120
so they can make sure the public awareness can be enhanced while they're listening to their favorite music.
121
And I think Vietnamese government should adopt this type of promotion.
122
Thank you, very interesting.
123
Well done.
124
And finally, do you think personal responsibility is more important than public rules?
125
Some people hope that the public rules are much more essential than personality because they believe that without the legislation,
126
the society will become uncontrolled which associates with many unexpected characteristics.
127
For example, in Myanmar, if we give the citizens too much freedom, they can start to rise to the war.
128
On the other hand, I believe that human rights is an important factor why the government tries to make a new law.
129
For example, under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
130
there are 4K main factors that an organization should be followed when they create a new legalization.
131
Definitely.
132
And those must be followed clearly.
133
Well, Min, that brings us to the end of the test.
134
Thank you very much.
135
Good job.
136
Well done.
137
Amazing, amazing.
138
How did you find that?
139
How did you feel?
140
It's a bit nervous.
141
Yeah, yeah.
142
I think I should improve vocabulary, try it.
143
For me, your vocabulary is really good, especially in the last question the University of Human Rights.
144
That was so interesting to listen to that.
145
Wow.
146
Okay, for me your part one is phenomenal.
147
Really happy with your part one.
148
When I'm working with you I want us to work a little bit on little grammar mistakes, so things like past tense I need you to become more aware of, but your fluency and your confidence there was wonderful.
149
By far your best part was the part two.
150
I loved that you followed our five -step structure which made you really stand out from the crowd.
151
I mean I was left speechless by it.
152
Is that true about the Jim?
153
Amazing.
154
Now the main thing is the part three.
155
So actually your ideas about Myanmar, about the world, about human rights, that's fantastic.
156
I feel like you have, because you've lived in a Western country, you have these ideas, this way of thinking.
157
I just want to work a little bit on how to organize the ideas.
158
So there was a lot of repetition of for example, for example, for example.
159
So I want us to work on new ways to answer those part three questions.
160
But overall, it was fantastic.
161
I'm really proud of your big improvement and your fluency is phenomenal so well done.
162
Good job.
163
Well then thank you for coming.
164
Great job.

¿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.
