Welcome back to Tiny Talks.
2
It's been a while since we last met.
3
How's your IELTS speaking practice going so far?
4
We hope you enjoyed our previous videos and found them helpful.
5
Today, we're bringing you another popular topic from part one of the IELTS Speaking Test.
6
Food.
7
Here's how the lesson will go.
8
First, you'll hear a short conversation between the examiner, Mr. David, and the candidate Maddie, as they go through a set of typical questions on this topic.
9
After that, we'll take a closer look at some useful vocabulary from their conversation.
10
We'll break it down and show you how to use those words and phrases naturally in your own answers.
11
Just a quick reminder: In the actual IELTS speaking test, Part 1 can include questions on a wide variety of topics.
12
But here at Tiny Talks, we like to keep it simple by focusing on one topic per video.
13
All right.
14
Ready to talk about food?
15
Let's jump in!
16
Okay, Maddie.
17
Let's talk about something everyone enjoys: it's food.
18
What is your favorite kind of food?
19
Without a doubt, Japanese cuisine is my favorite.
20
The way they use fresh, seasonal ingredients is very appealing to me.
21
On top of that, The way they prepare the food is really impressive and it makes me feel like I'm eating a piece of art.
22
That's interesting.
23
Thinking back.
24
What did you usually eat for breakfast when you were a child?
25
When I was a kid, my breakfast was usually quite rudimentary.
26
On most weekdays, I often had some slices of bread spread with fruit jam and a bottle of chocolate milk.
27
On occasion, I would have a bowl of warm rice porridge.
28
As my mother was rather busy, she would often prepare it the day before and simply reheat it for me before I went to school.
29
I see.
30
That sounds quite cozy.
31
Do you prefer eating at home or dining out?
32
Hmm.
33
I'd say I tend to prefer eating at home.
34
At home, it feels cozy.
35
I can be surrounded by family members or just enjoy some quiet moments with myself.
36
Knowing exactly what goes into my food and how it's cooked also makes me feel at ease.
37
But of course, eating out is undeniably enjoyable when I want to try new culinary experiences or celebrate something.
38
So, it really depends on the mood.
39
That's a thoughtful answer.
40
Is there any food you dislike or avoid eating?
41
Um, yes.
42
There are a few things I don't like to eat.
43
I'm not fond of foods that contain a lot of artificial additives such as preservatives or colorings.
44
I just feel like they're not good for my health in the long run. And...
45
I'm not a fan of strong -tasting foods such as spicy dishes.
46
One time I tried a really spicy curry and my mouth was on fire for minutes.
47
I guess it's just my personal preference because I know a lot of people like them, Okay.
48
Do you enjoy cooking?
49
Why or why not?
50
I do enjoy cooking when I have enough time.
51
It helps me relax and be creative.
52
I like trying out new recipes from the internet, especially dishes that use spices or herbs I don't usually cook with.
53
there's a certain gratification in transforming raw ingredients into a palatable meal.
54
But I'll admit, my schedule can be quite demanding, so I often end up ordering takeout.
55
Okay.
56
Who usually does the cooking in your family?
57
Well, it's usually my mom who does the cooking in our family.
58
She's quite adept at preparing a wide variety of dishes.
59
Actually, over the past month or so, her workload has eased up a bit, which has been wonderful.
60
because she's been able to spend more time and effort to our family meals.
61
Dinner has become a time when we all slow down and enjoy her cooking.
62
We all really appreciate it.
63
Wow, that's lovely to hear.
64
What's the most popular food in your country?
65
In Japan, sushi is the most popular food.
66
It's basically everywhere from fancy restaurants to simple convenience stores.
67
What makes sushi so popular, I believe, is the freshness and gentle flavors of the ingredients.
68
And there's also a huge variety of sushi, like nigiri, maki rolls, or even sashimi for those who are into something more subtle.
69
It's definitely an iconic representation of Japanese cuisine, both domestically and internationally.
70
Mmm, that sounds delicious.
71
What do you usually eat during celebrations or holidays?
72
Well, during celebrations or holidays in Japan, we usually have traditional dishes like Osechi Ryori, especially around New Year.
73
It's a beautiful assortment of prepared dishes packed in special boxes.
74
Each dish has a special meaning, representing wishes for good health, prosperity, and happiness in the coming year.
75
There might be other traditional foods as well.
76
For instance, on Children's Day, we often eat kashiwa mochi, which is a rice cake wrapped in oak leaves.
77
Honestly, food plays a huge part in Japanese celebrations.
78
It brings everyone together and adds a sense of warmth and tradition.
79
All right.
80
Thanks for sharing, Maddie.
81
Now let's continue with part two of the speaking test.
82
And that's a wrap on our speaking practice for today.
83
Did you catch everything Maddie shared?
84
If there's any vocab you're still confused about, don't worry.

¿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.
