1
Okay, we can get started now.
2
To begin, can you tell me your full name?
3
My name is Nina and my last name is Wira Hadiraksa.
4
Can you spell your last name for me?
5
Yes, W-I-R-A-H-A-D-I-R-A-K-S-A.
6
All right, nice to do it.
7
And are you working or studying right now?
8
I'm currently studying but I am in an off book period.
9
Okay.
10
What do you study?
11
I'm studying nursing.
12
And what is an off book period?
13
It's like breaking, like taking a break from school.
14
And do you enjoy your studies?
15
So far, yes.
16
It's pretty demanding but I'm enjoying at the moment.
17
And what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
18
I enjoy listening to music, watching some random videos, chill out and go for a walk.
19
And sometimes I like to just read a book and chat with my friends on the phone.
20
And what is your hometown?
21
I mean, I have two hometowns.
22
Like one is in Switzerland, which is called Schindeläcki, and the other one is Gunpo.
23
It's like a city but kind of a town.
24
Yeah.
25
Where is Gunpo?
26
It's in Gyeonggi-do. In Gyeonggi-do.
27
Okay.
28
You can pick either one.
29
Yeah.
30
And what are some things that you like about one of your hometowns?
31
I would actually pick Strindelage because I actually recently lived there because I immigrated to Switzerland in 2016.
32
And what I like about there is the nature.
33
It's very wide and really, really big
34
and it's got a lot of people and just not so many supermarkets.
35
So then we have to drive a lot to the city parts to do grocery shopping,
36
but just the nature, I guess.
37
Okay, good.
38
Sort of following on that, what are some things that you don't like about it?
39
Yeah, the grocery shopping part and...
40
I mean, I said the good thing about my town was nature, but it's also...
41
the other hand, like, it's also not the good part because there's not so many things to do.
42
So I would have to travel to the city side to do something with my friends
43
because there are only houses and train stations nearby my house.
44
Okay.
45
Now, we'll talk about shopping.
46
So, to begin, do you like shopping?
47
I do.
48
Why?
49
It keeps me off from negative thoughts sometimes, and just...
50
Irrelative thoughts regarding schools, or just...
51
try to chill me out sometimes.
52
Okay, good.
53
And do you compare prices when you shop?
54
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, depending on the items.
55
Okay, can you tell me more?
56
Yes, for example, if it's related to me, I don't really consider the price.
57
Like, if it's, for For example, items like clothes or something like a book or something related to skincare,
58
then I wouldn't really care about the cost so much
59
because it's related to me and taking care of myself and my body.
60
So cost doesn't really matter.
61
Okay.
62
And is it difficult for you to make choices when you shop?
63
Yes, and that also depends.
64
When it comes to me, it doesn't take so long for me to pick out items.
65
But if it's for someone else, like picking out presents, for example, my family or my relatives or just anyone other than me,
66
then it would take a long time compared to me.
67
Why does it take longer?
68
Because it's someone else than me.
69
I don't know what they like.
70
I don't know their preferences.
71
So that's why.
72
Okay, good.
73
Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper products?
74
I think in some ways it does show that yeah you do have some extra vacancy kind of
75
attached to it in the item
76
and yeah it can show a bit of a more I don't know in some sense
77
that you care a lot more about this person in a way of a gratitude weight
78
but not always because I do think that the meaning and what this what that item means to someone is what matters.
79
Okay good good so that's the end of part one now we can move on to part two
80
So for part two you're gonna have one question and you'll have a minute to prepare, make some notes, and then up to two minutes to give your answer.
81
So here is your question and here is a pen so you can take some notes.
82
I'll set a timer so you can go ahead and take some notes.
83
Okay so that is a a minute and when you're ready can describe a time when you changed your opinion.
84
So about a year ago in summer in Switzerland I went
85
to an ice cream shop with my friend like a gelato shop in the city center
86
and I usually go for a cheesecake flavor
87
but there was a new flavor called mint chocolate
88
and I'm not like an anti mint chocolate person like flavor person
89
but I was kind of like thinking maybe I should go for it
90
and my friend was like yeah you know you should go for it
91
and then it was actually my family's controversial kind of a conversation always like mint chocolate
92
or not like the flavor kind of a debate
93
because my mom likes it and my sister doesn't
94
and my dad doesn't know about the flavor and i was thinking for quite a long time actually
95
not for like a 15 minute thing but like maybe five minutes and um although my original opinion was cheesecake.
96
I actually did go for the mint chocolate because I was curious.
97
Being inquisitive about the new flavor kind of, yeah, it was intriguing to,
98
you know, try out a new flavor and discover what it actually means to try out that flavor itself.
99
And I did, and it tasted very different from what I thought.
100
I thought it would taste something like a chewing gum that I I used to like chew on like a mint flavor,
101
spearmint, but actually tastes really nice and sweet.
102
And I felt surprised, pretty odd actually.
103
And yeah, I was very, I wasn't really like very excited about it,
104
but it was more that I was very odd about it.
105
Okay, good.
106
Yeah, that's two minutes there.
107
Nicely done.
108
And now we can move on to part three.
109
So the first question, do children like to change their opinions?
110
I think they do.
111
I've worked with children for some months because I had an internship at a daycare school.
112
and I think their preferences change a lot depending on the situation
113
and I think situation is definitely it because like for example they see
114
that their friend has something and it looks like theirs are more nice
115
and theirs look bigger and fancier and they suddenly want that one than
116
the ones they have and they change their opinion
117
and sometimes it's like that
118
and like they used to have this preference on this kind of a cookie
119
and then later on they discovered this taste
120
and then they changed their preferences and kind of an opinion on other food and tastes okay good Good.
121
And more generally, when do people change opinions?
122
I think it's a situational thing.
123
Although one can have their own opinion, depending on what the group has, like the opinion the group has,
124
I think one can change.
125
For example, if the group has a definite sole opinion on this and the other one has another opinion,
126
then I don't think that person can advocate their opinion on their own.
127
Okay, good.
128
And who do young people turn to for advice?
129
The person who they feel emotionally close to, I guess that's number one,
130
but maybe depending on their level of dependency,
131
their friends or other adults that can be close.
132
yeah, they're parents or emotionally dependent people.
133
And do people like giving opinions about politics?
134
Oh, not so into politics,
135
but But from what I've seen, I think so.
136
And it's, I guess, politics, it's a very big topic.
137
And it's a topic that has to do with many different branches
138
and many different storylines and headlines that are connected to each other
139
that it's connected to culture and media and so many things that it can trigger someone,
140
it can just be a controversy, it can be a debate,
141
it can be anything that it can go on and on and on.
142
It can be a conversation on a bus, it can be a conversation in a cafeteria.
143
I've seen a lot at school, but I've never been in one.
144
But I think people really like to give opinions, especially my schoolmates.
145
Okay, sure.
146
All right.
147
That's the end.
148
And now we can move on to a little bit of feedback.
149
As you probably know, the IELTS test is scored on four categories.
150
So there's fluency and coherence, there's pronunciation, and then vocabulary and grammar.
151
I think you did a really nice job overall, sort of working in order.
152
The first two categories, fluency and pronunciation, I thought were both very strong.
153
You have a sort of natural rhythm of speaking,
154
and all of the words are pronounced with a easy to understand common standard English pronunciation.
155
So those are both very good.
156
vocabulary were also good but it might be here that
157
that a little bit of improvement is possible just to point out a few vocabulary things
158
that I heard along the way in part one
159
when you were describing the nature sort of landscape in Switzerland
160
I think you described it as wide yeah I know what you mean
161
but there's probably other expressions and maybe you could describe it as expansive
162
impressive imposing I'm picturing the mountains of Switzerland
163
but yeah expansive rather than why would be the kind of
164
the kind of adjective to to try there there was one
165
little mix up around I think you're looking for the word irrelevant
166
but I'm not sure it came out quite right in part
167
two as you were describing the the ice cream you use
168
some good words like inquisitive is a very good advanced word
169
a couple words to maybe think about I think you described
170
the debate about mint chocolate as controversial again I know what you mean
171
but I'm not sure something like that would be controversial
172
because it's so it's not really important something like politics can be controversial
173
because it has a sort of emotional charge ice cream flavors they might be hotly debated
174
but it's in a sort of in a playful spirit
175
so I'm not sure it would be described as controversial
176
and it would probably would be possible in
177
that answer to to think of some other ways to to express the idea
178
that you wanted to try it you repeated the idea that you wanted to go for it and go for it, which is a very good expression,
179
but trying for more variety to express the idea that you want to try this new flavor.
180
More vocabulary in part three.
181
There's some very good words.
182
It talked about advocating for your position, which is very good, and talked about something triggering.
183
So these are good sort of advanced words to be using.
184
So, mostly good, but there's always room for improvement.
185
In terms of grammar, mostly pretty good.
186
Good use of the past tense in part two.
187
A couple of little slip-ups, kind of working in reverse order.
188
In part three, I think you described something as being more nice.
189
but that's a good opportunity to use the comparative to describe it as nicer rather than more nice
190
and in part one there's maybe a preposition at one point
191
mentioned something I think shopping was would keep you off negative thoughts
192
instead of off and maybe keep you away from
193
or help you avoid negative thoughts so these are small things
194
but at the at the advanced sort of bands it's important
195
to to try to keep them as accurate as possible
196
so really good job and based on all
197
that I think your estimated score today would probably be 7.0
198
but a strong 7.0 and
199
and with a little bit of fine-tuning on the on the vocabulary I think you get higher
200
so thanks for coming in and good luck

¿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.
