Could I please have your full name?

My name is Kim Ju Young.

Ju Young.

Yep.

Okay, Ju Young, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Okay, I'm going to start with a few questions about your school or your workplace.

Are you studying, working right now?

Oh, I'm currently studying in a university in Singapore.

I just finished my first year.

I major in chemical engineering and Yeah,

I just finished my first year spending my time in Korea for my summer.

Okay.

Do you like your university?

Oh, yeah.

First of all, I study in NUS.

It's the largest university in Singapore.

And campus-wise, it's super large.

It's a public university and it's an open campus.

So you get to see a lot of visitors and there are a lot of facilities and amenities, a lot of dormitories.

So if you're living in campus, you get to meet a lot of your friends.

And on top of that, the food there is really good.

Yeah, that's an important one when you're away from home.

Right, definitely.

So there's a food court everywhere for each faculties.

and they have from Chinese, Korean, Western, sometimes Japanese, vegetarian, everything.

They have everything prepared.

I want to go there.

Pay a visit.

So do you think your school is a great place to study?

Oh, definitely.

The professors, they're well-credited.

They're really capable of teaching and on top of the lectures, they also provide tutorial sessions.

So you get to have discussions with your professor and sometimes your classmates.

Since I'm studying chemical engineering, lab facilities definitely is a big factor.

And they're well prepared.

They have a lot of equipment ready.

so let's say you run out of some chemicals

or equipments they're always ready to provide you with such items

and yeah Singapore it's a really academically competitive country

so just like Korea sorry yeah

so there is it really is the competition is really tense I would say

so my peers they're really they're really smart and intelligent so

if I need any help I do not necessarily need to go to the professor

or my tutors ask actually I just can't ask my peers and friends that's really cool talking about like

competitiveness in studies all those things how important do you think

is interest in what you study oh oh having interest in what i study is definitely like the biggest factor

because let's say you study computer science or medicine which is an academically rigorous course uh even uh

even if you graduate with a good grade or degree, if you don't have an interest in what you study and what you do in the future,

and you're just doing it for the paycheck, I definitely think you would burn out, get exhausted at the end of the day.

And yes, having interest in what I study is definitely a big factor.

So for me, I really like physics and chemistry.

So studying chemical engineering, I mean, although I'm studying, I just finished my first year, I find it really interesting.

And sometimes I look into research papers so that I gain more interest, talk to my peers and professors to kind of share insights.

Is there any subject in your field of study or to complete your course,

you've got a range of subjects?

Are there any subjects that you find challenging at the moment?

Oh, I'm okay with the chemical engineering courses.

So like thermodynamics and linear algebra and all those engineering courses.

but I really find it hard.

There was one course I took, it's called project management.

I had no idea what I was doing, and it was really frustrating for me because I just finished high school at that time,

and my communication skills was not as good, and since project management, they assign you with a team,

and you have to communicate with your teammates, group mates a lot and I really struggle with that part.

Okay, yeah, I'll just cut you over there.

Sorry to be rude.

No worries, no worries.

Okay, your part two question is going to be describe an ideal and perfect place where you would like to stay, like a house or an apartment.

Okay, you may start.

All right, so an ideal and perfect place I would like to stay in the future is a small apartment in Switzerland,

Bern, which is a country I visited for my graduation trip last year.

Mainly because, okay, so the scenery of my neighborhood and my house would be,

since it's a small apartment I just want it to be cozy and compact, minimal and the streets it would be filled with pedestrians

and cyclists because cycling is a really fundamental part of my life even in Singapore even in Korea

when I try to go somewhere

or navigate I always take my cycle along with me

so I wish my my future destination is surrounded with cyclists

which is in in Switzerland

and special features it would have is even though I cycle

I have ever since I was a child I really wanted

a garage of my own movies like a big hero

or some and some stories regarding like startups they always started in their own garage right

and I don't know I think garage having a garage will provide me with a bit of not only privacy

but also some sort of create creativity

because it's it's a really special facility to have in your house right

and yeah I said it would is likely to be small

because Switzerland unless I make a lot of money it's gonna be small

and yeah do I have to okay we can call it

there just the question out of curiosity what would you like to make in your garage oh yeah

so since it's a small apartment and I I'm a I'm a really big Lego enthusiast.

Okay.

So even I wouldn't have a dedicated Lego room in my apartment, but I wanted to be a part of the garage.

I think your wife would be very happy with it being in the garage.

Yeah, keep it out of the household.

Keep it in the garage.

Okay, let's move on to the part three questions.

What do you think buildings are going to be like in the future?

Oh, because I live in Singapore, there are a lot of modern architecture.

So, although there are some debates regarding, you know, vertical plant, what is it?

100

You know for building.

101

Vertical farming.

102

Yeah, vertical farming.

103

You know in Singapore there are a lot of skyscrapers with with greeneries

104

attached along their walls and although there are some debates whether it being sustainable or not,

105

I think in the future architectures and I mean architects architectures and skyscrapers,

106

they definitely need to consider a lot of sustainability.

107

Consider sustainability.

108

So Yeah, a lot of greeneries I would expect in the future.

109

Okay.

110

Why do some people choose to live in a city center?

111

City center?

112

Oh, mainly, first of all, city centers, it's really accessible to everywhere.

113

So let's say you're living in the north or in the extreme end of the country, it's really hard to reach the other side, the opposite end.

114

However, if you're living in a city center, which is likely to be really accessible,

115

such as public transport and also highways and everything,

116

a lot of locations within the country, I expect it to be very accessible.

117

And on top of that, a lot of amenities, like even if it's in your...

118

Like, let's say you're spending your weekend, you want to go somewhere, and within the city, you would basically have everything that you need.

119

Let's say a mall or historical monuments,

120

museums, restaurants, they're all prepared and located within the city center, so you don't have to move a long distance.

121

Yeah, so having the opportunity,

122

living in city center is basically all about the short distance that you have to travel to different places.

123

Okay.

124

Do you think people have different preferences for houses and apartments?

125

And what would people consider when they choose between them?

126

Sorry, can you repeat?

127

Yeah, so people have different preferences between houses and apartments.

128

What do people think about when they have to choose between those?

129

Like do I get a house?

130

Do I get an apartment?

131

What goes into that?

132

Like house, like villas?

133

Yeah, like a detached house.

134

Oh, okay, okay um for me I would definitely consider having to

135

because houses villas detached houses they require a lot of maintenance right

136

so if something goes wrong you either have to call call like a technician

137

or you have to fix on your own which is mostly the case

138

and for me I am NOT a really handy man regard regarding those.

139

So I would definitely prefer, I personally, I would prefer to live in apartments.

140

And also, if most of the detached house, I assume them to be away from the city center.

141

So they're quite exposed to the nature.

142

So sometimes bugs, pests, rats, I mean, city center as well,

143

but most of the time in detached houses, I expect them to be there and some people they're really scared

144

and terrified when they encounter one so that's a big factor

145

and also detached house it's more like you have your own space an apartment you're sharing the whole building

146

and you get you have to meet everyone your neighbors

147

when you're taking the elevator and for some people they consider privacy as a priority.

148

They prioritize privacy so they want their own backyard, they want their own house, their own building.

149

So that's also another big factor.

150

Okay, I'm gonna call it right here.

151

Good news, you speak really well.

152

Oh thank you.

153

I tried my best to find as many mistakes as I could

154

but I couldn't find too many of them no worries no

155

that's a good thing i'm i'm not supposed to find um a few

156

and i'm like really nitpicking some issues yeah yeah it's just one

157

or two things like for example you talked about architectures it

158

could have been easier to just say buildings right right

159

that sort of situation yeah um you also talked about your

160

cycle whereas maybe it would be more commonly just talking about your bike oh okay okay

161

that is true that is true

162

but again these aren't really like minor issues this is not something

163

that impacts your communication or anything right yeah i think that is

164

i think also at the one question i think when i asked you about ethios uni a good place to study

165

I think you gave a long answer

166

but somewhere in between you kind of hesitated a little bit because you were thinking of something extra to say.

167

If I had to give you advice for those sort of situations, if you had to ever retake this,

168

just end your answer because you already spoke quite a lot.

169

Oh okay.

170

Like if you run out of things to say just cut it there, you don't have to keep adding to something like okay just

171

say what you feel there's always the next question right

172

that being said with those very small faults out of the

173

way i think your fluency is excellent thank you like uh

174

you're pretty much near native level i appreciate this i don't think i think

175

if somebody had to meet you they would probably think

176

that you grew up abroad oh i would put you in

177

that category oh think your vocabulary is excellent there were a lot of great words that you used

178

like really native sounding words like you talked about your professors

179

having great accreditation i think you said right you talked about

180

the course being really rigorous all of those things excellent excellent stuff your answers were

181

so long so detailed okay like it's literally exactly what they're looking for oh really in like

182

when we have a grading sheet like what are we looking

183

for it's the same as a mark scheme yeah yeah it's

184

basically like okay able to produce long answers without any effort okay just tick tick tick oh okay

185

so i would definitely give you even with a little mistakes even the fact

186

that you didn't come prepared prepared for this test eight wow

187

and eight score it's an out of nine right yeah scale i would say like if the guy is

188

i don't even think a strict examiner would give you 7.5

189

i would say strictest scenario probably an eight it was really

190

really well done thank you sir i i can't really offer

191

you like lots of tips about what you can improve on

192

i think the people can just look at this as an example of this is how to answer really well

193

so thank you sir thank you very much noise

¿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.
