6
I'm a student.
7
I'm currently in university at a university and yeah my major is biomedical and biomedicine sciences.
8
And do you enjoy studying this major?
9
I guess yes, because when I was in freshman,
10
we don't really learn those major materials,
11
but from second graders we're learning those like microbiology or genetics,
12
and I feel like they're pretty interesting,
13
so I guess I like my major.
14
And could you tell me about your hometown?
15
My hometown, it's kind of because I'm Korean
16
but I lived in China for like 10 more years so I would like to describe about China.
17
I'm from Qingdao, do you,
18
I don't know if you know or not but there's lots of foods that I really enjoy to eat especially the
19
and Mara Xianghua, I don't know in English,
20
but it's like a very spicy food, yes.
21
Okay.
22
And what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
23
Oh, my free time.
24
I guess because I am really an outgoing person,
25
so I love to hang out with my friends.
26
For example, we go to eat some foods and go to cinema,
27
or we can go to those game centers or maybe karaoke.
28
Now we're going to talk about the internet.
29
So when did you start using the internet?
30
I cannot remember exactly when I started
31
but I think from elementary school I started to use the internet
32
because in school there are some projects that we have to search for it.
33
So I think I started using internet from elementary school.
34
And how often do you use the internet these days?
35
Very much, because I feel like internet is getting more advanced.
36
So, for example, in university,
37
we also use internet for our projects, especially ChatGPT.
38
I use that a lot for my study and it's really helpful.
39
So I think every day I'm using my internet internet.
40
And do you think you spend too much time online?
41
Yes, because one of my hobbies is watching the dramas so I think I used too much sometimes almost a whole day.
42
So yes and what would you do without the internet?
43
Maybe reading some books and music is also internet right
44
because I might one of them also one of my hobbies dancing
45
so I just turn on the music and maybe cleaning some house house
46
and yeah okay now let's talk about singing
47
so do you like singing yes I love to go to karaoke with my friends
48
but I don't think I'm that good at singing,
49
but I still enjoy it.
50
And have you ever learned how to sing?
51
No, actually not.
52
I've never learned singing, but I would like to learn if I have a chance.
53
Okay.
54
And do you think singing can bring happiness to people?
55
Yes, I guess so, because sometimes people will even cry
56
because they are very emotional
57
when they listen to some song for example the greatest showman
58
ost really is touching heart really it really touches heart
59
so yeah i think singing can bring happiness okay perfect okay
60
that'll do us for part one now we'll go on to part two of the test
61
Here is your question and I'll give you a pencil there.
62
All right.
63
So now I'm going to give you one minute to read the question
64
and you can do some note-taking here if you like.
65
All right.
66
Okay, so that's one minute now.
67
All right.
68
So could you describe a time you saw a child behave badly in public?
69
Yes.
70
I don't remember when I saw it,
71
but I was in a restaurant with my family
72
and I saw there were two children who were playing around and I thought it's okay,
73
because you know, they are just a kid,
74
but they were like playing with a small ball and running around and really,
75
they were very naughty.
76
And I thought it was a bit dangerous for both children
77
and also other people because people are walking around there and also people are serving the foods.
78
So I thought the parents should let them to be a bit calm,
79
to let them to be,
80
let them calm down a bit,
81
but they were just doing nothing.
82
And other people were, other people were also staring at them.
83
And I thought at first I could understand cause you know,
84
they're just a child.
85
So, but because it's dangerous,
86
I thought like their parents should take care of them.
87
Yes.
88
Okay.
89
So that's about a minute and 10 seconds.
90
Yeah.
91
And do you think other people in the restaurant were bothered by their actions?
92
Yes, a little bit.
93
Because I was eating hot pot and you have to go to get sauce.
94
So, you know, they have to walk a lot
95
but they were like running around and just you know throwing some balls
96
so it may be you know a bit dangerous
97
and really bothering them okay okay now let's go into part three of the test okay let's keep it going
98
so yeah um what kinds of bad behavior do children usually do
99
I don't know if it's bad
100
but like you know there are some places you have to
101
be quiet you know for example cinema people have to really be focused on movie
102
but there are some children who don't listen to their parents
103
and you know while the movie is playing they're screaming or talking to the next person,
104
I think that can be a bad behavior because it bothers others.
105
So in that case, parents should really tell them.
106
Like in cinema, because it's a quiet place,
107
you guys should be quiet a little bit.
108
Yes, take care of your behavior.
109
Right.
110
And do you think in your country, parents usually do this?
111
I think it depends but usually majority of people will tell their children because
112
they are you know even a kindergarten know the mood and vibes so if they tell them,
113
oh, here you have to be quiet.
114
We can talk later.
115
Then they could understand.
116
Yes, yes.
117
And do you think parents these days are stricter than they were in the past?
118
I think for some cases they're really strict but in other parts they are not stricter than before.
119
For example, I think study,
120
parents became more strict because it's really hard to get into a good university
121
so they really take care of their children's education
122
so they are really strict to children because I'm aware of
123
that in Korea they start to learn a lot of things from kindergarten so I think in this way
124
uh parents are being more strict
125
but in other cases like for example doing the house course they are very open
126
so yeah yes and do you think it's possible for parents to be too strict with with their children?
127
I think everyone is different, but I guess yes.
128
Because for me, when I was a child,
129
my mom didn't really care about my education.
130
So she wanted me to do it by myself.
131
But there are some parents who forced them to study until like 2 a.m or until the late time.
132
So I think in that case,
133
parents are too strict to their children.
134
And could this have a negative effect on children or their relationship?
135
Yes, I think there are some positive effects.
136
For example, it could help them to study a lot for their future.
137
But if they don't sleep well because they're children,
138
I think they have to sleep well.
139
But there are lots of people who have sleep deprived,
140
so it's affecting their health.
141
Yes.
142
And whose influence on children is more important, friends or parents?
143
Oh, it's a tough question.
144
But I think it really depends on the age.
145
Because, you know, in kindergarten,
146
I think parents are actually everything to them.
147
But from middle school and high school,
148
I think friends affects more because we're spending more time with our friends rather than parents,
149
for example, in school.
150
And there are lots of students who go to classes even after school and they're with their friends, right?
151
So I think it really affects their habits and all those stuff.
152
Yeah.
153
Sure.
154
And what are some common rules among families in your country?
155
Common rules?
156
I've never think of this question before,
157
but I guess common rules.
158
I don't know if it's a common rule,
159
but I think many Korean really enjoys their weekend with their family.
160
For example, they can go to hang out to some restaurants or do other outside activities,
161
or there are some people who enjoy indoor activities as well,
162
watching TV together and read some books together.
163
OK, perfect.
164
Okay, that'll do us for the test.
165
All done.
166
Thank you very much.
167
That was really...
168
Yeah, that was quick, right?
169
All right, so yeah, let's start with the feedback now.
170
So yeah, that was a really good test.
171
Obviously, fluency, pronunciation, really strong.
172
Yeah, there's almost no hesitation at all and really easy to understand.
173
Yeah, just like there's a few grammar issues that we can talk about.
174
Maybe we can go through a couple, right?
175
At the beginning, you said like when I was in freshman.
176
I'd probably say when I was a freshman.
177
Yeah, when I was a freshman, yeah.
178
And you said second grade, right?
179
Second graders second graders like in anyway in the uk
180
and ireland we don't usually say grade for university either
181
so i'd probably say year is more common yeah i know in america they use like what freshman
182
and sophomore like
183
that we would say like yeah right we would say like
184
first year second year third year of university right um okay
185
when we talked about uh the the sentence there is a
186
lot of foods i enjoy to eat like there are a lot of dishes maybe
187
that could be better there are a lot of dishes i enjoy eating yeah
188
so enjoy always the ing there um
189
when we talk about the internet make sure we always say
190
uh the internet yeah using the internet every day yeah yeah um
191
and when i asked you did you like do you use the internet often
192
or much um you said like yeah every day i'm i'm
193
using the internet i'd probably use the just present simple there
194
so i use internet yeah yeah i use the internet every
195
day yeah exactly um yeah part two spoke for like a
196
i think it was a minute 10 seconds you know so
197
if you were doing the real ielts test i would try to keep talking yeah
198
if you have a little bit more detail you could talk
199
about you know the reactions of other people i i think you just kind of touched on
200
that so maybe you could give some more detail
201
if you can um yeah just in in terms of the
202
tense i think you're using present continuous sometimes you know people are walking
203
so people were yeah people were walking around and they were throwing the balls so yeah um
204
and yeah this is like a little bit difficult grammar you said uh should let them calm down right um
205
so let them is more like allow them allow them to calm down so probably like
206
make them tell them tell them to yeah maybe tell them would be better so and we want to use um
207
should have told so should have plus past participle
208
so i think parents should have told them to calm down
209
or parents should have scolded them
210
or parents should have asked them to be quiet yeah it was all good um yeah
211
when we talked about part three this one like a comparative
212
sentence i asked you um our parents these days stricter than in the past
213
and you said they're not stricter than before a better way to say
214
that would be using as as
215
so they're not as strict as yeah they're not as strict as before actually yeah
216
so uh it's often used when you're comparing
217
um yeah good vocabulary as well sleep deprived make sure i
218
would just say are like people are sleep deprived these days yeah um
219
and the last one is about um oh yeah so outside um and outdoor
220
outside is the adverb right so go outside work outside um outdoor would be the um
221
adjective right outdoor activities yeah with that but yeah really good really good tests
222
so thank you for coming in thank you cheers thank you so much all right

¿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.
