Hey guys and welcome back.
2
Today is a very exciting day.
3
We're focusing on part one.
4
We're focusing on advanced vocabulary, phrases and collocations to help you answer all questions related to you and your personal life.
5
We are going to focus on the topics of hometown, work and studies, accommodation, your family and also your daily routine.
6
This video will give you a deep and meaningful insight in how high-level students perform to the best of their ability.
7
So let's first think about the topic of hometown
8
and I want to give you some amazing vocabulary you can use in your IELTS answers.
9
The first thing we can talk about is our hometown being a bustling city.
10
Now I love the word bustling, it means exciting.
11
A bustling city with a dramatic and captivating skyline.
12
What an amazing open skyline of Ho Chi Minh City is stunning and beautiful but everyone says that.
13
Use the phrase dramatic and captivating to boost your score.
14
Next let's talk about the tree-lined streets.
15
We can say that the streets of Saigon have a vast array of green spaces
16
and tree-lined streets and make the city have a special place in my heart.
17
Tree-lined streets.
18
Amazing.
19
Tree-lined streets are streets that are lined with beautiful trees.
20
Moreover, the phrase have a special place in my heart makes your answers in IELTS sound more natural.
21
You're giving your human impression, your human thoughts into your speech.
22
Guys, please take note of these sentences and phrases.
23
They're amazing.
24
Next, let's talk about the community.
25
Community refers to the people that live around you.
26
Now, I don't know if you have a nice community around you, but I certainly do.
27
We might describe the local people around me as having a tight-knit community,
28
which provides locals with a sense of belonging and a laid-back vibe.
29
Provides locals with a sense of belonging.
30
Amazing.
31
Makes you feel welcome when you go home.
32
The neighbors they embrace you, they love you.
33
Now this might not always be the case for everyone but remember in IELTS you can't lie.
34
Finally we might say that the city is multicultural.
35
Now I love this.
36
There are lots of foreigners from around the world living in one place.
37
Guys one of the secrets to getting a high mark is not to just shorten your sentences
38
and also and and also and also try to develop them into long, complex sentences as I will show you in my answers now.
39
Let's have a look at a question together.
40
The question is where is your hometown?
41
Well I'm originally from London a bustling city with a dramatic and captivating skyline located in the south of England.
42
It's known for its vast array of green spaces and tree-lined streets
43
which makes the city have a special place in my heart.
44
Despite growing rapidly In recent years, it still feels like a tight-knit community,
45
which provides locals with a sense of belonging and a laid-back vibe.
46
Notice my intonation when I'm speaking.
47
I'm speaking from the heart there.
48
I know what you're thinking, that answer may be a little bit long, but I'm just trying to give you inspiration and ideas.
49
Next, let's think about the question, has your hometown changed over the years?
50
I would answer like this.
51
Yes, definitely.
52
Over the past decade there has been a lot of urban development.
53
New shopping malls, stunning luxury apartment blocks and improved public transport.
54
Which is important for navigating the city.
55
Well, some of the charm has certainly been lost unfortunately.
56
I love the fact that the city is multicultural
57
which means I have the ability to try food from all over the world.
58
In that answer I'm also comparing the past to the present.
59
That's a beautiful way to speak in IELTS part one.
60
Let's move on now to talk about the next hot topic all about your accommodation, the place where you live.
61
Now this topic is often overlooked and seen as a relatively simple topic.
62
However, never take things for granted.
63
Let's practice together.
64
First let's think about how to describe the place that you live.
65
We might describe an apartment as a luxury high-rise apartment with breathtaking views over the majestic city of Saigon.
66
If we're talking about a house we might talk about a modest or luxury detached house,
67
a dream for anybody looking to buy their first home.
68
The phrase there, detached house, terraced house, beautiful.
69
Moving on let's talk about the kitchen, the interior.
70
People will say oh I have a beautiful kitchen.
71
No, no. We can say oh in my house I have a modern state-of-the-art kitchen
72
which is vital because I can cook delicious meals for my stunning family.
73
We're putting things into a full sentence.
74
Now let's put them into answers in IELTS.
75
Do you like to live in a house or an apartment?
76
Well, I currently reside in a high-rise apartment complex with breathtaking views located in the center of Ho Chi Minh City.
77
It's a spacious two-bedroom flat with a gorgeous master bedroom and cozy ensuite bath.
78
Besides that, I am fortunate enough to have a modern state-of-the-art kitchen,
79
which is important because I can cook mouth-watering cuisine for my stunning family.
80
Expressing, we're showing emotion, we're talking about our family.
81
Remember in part one, you can do this.
82
It's really good to talk about yourself and your family.
83
The next question, oh, would you like to move in the future?
84
Be honest in your answers.
85
Eventually, yes, I'd love to relocate to a detached house in a more rural area
86
to take advantage of the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
87
Perhaps the majestic mountains of Dalat would be perfect for me.
88
Right now, though, convenience is my top priority.
89
But long term, a cozy, open plan, detached house with breathtaking views would be a great choice for me.
90
Let's move on now to talk about work and studies.
91
A really hot topic.
92
Guys, if they ask you what do you do, please be confident to be able to describe and talk about your job.
93
Here's what I would say.
94
First of all when talking about our job hopefully you are happy with your job.
95
You might say that your job gives you a sense of purpose.
96
Next we might say that our job felt like a natural fit.
97
That's a beautiful phrase.
98
To feel like a natural fit means to feel like it's the perfect job for you.
99
Finally we might say that one of the benefits of our job is something you simply can't put a price on.
100
That means that it's priceless.
101
It's really special to you.
102
So for me, I might say, oh, the changes that I make to my students' lives is something you simply can't put a price on.
103
Let's look at some sample questions together.
104
The first one they might ask you is, do you work or are you a student?
105
For me, I would say the following.
106
I'm currently working as a full-time ESL English teacher at a
107
fantastic language school located in the thriving metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City.
108
I love my job because it gives me not only a sense of purpose
109
but also the opportunity to spend time with passionate and enthusiastic students.
110
To me this is something you simply can't put a price on.
111
You see what I'm talking with that passion in my voice is really nice using those advanced phrases and collocations.
112
Next let's think about why.
113
Why did you choose that job?
114
Well I've always had a passion for both English and contributing to society.
115
Teaching felt like a natural fit and I also wanted a career
116
that would allow me to express my creativity and long-term growth opportunities were both available when teaching English.
117
For me I love nothing more than to help students to achieve their dreams, which is something you simply can't put a price on.
118
Although it may be very demanding at times, I find it incredibly rewarding.
119
And finally, let's talk about your daily routine.
120
Again, a hot topic in IELTS part one.
121
Asking about your daily life and the activities that you enjoy doing.
122
Some phrases and vocab you can use is to say
123
that perhaps you are an early riser in the morning or indeed a night owl and enjoy the evenings.
124
Next, you might want to talk about a daily routine setting the tone for the day.
125
Oh, I love to wake up, have a coffee and enjoy a shower in order to set the tone for a productive day.
126
Next, of course, we can say, oh, I like to have breakfast.
127
Even better, we might say, oh, I like to grab a quick breakfast on the go.
128
That's nice.
129
To grab something means to enjoy it quickly.
130
Again, great collocations you can use in your speaking.
131
Finally, we might talk about hitting the gym or catching the bus or indeed going for a run during your daily routine.
132
Now, when I'm answering, please notice the adverbs of frequency that I'm using in my answers.
133
Ranging all the way from always to sometimes, occasionally and never.
134
A great way to sound more natural.
135
Questions as follows.
136
What is your daily routine like?
137
Well, I usually wake up at around 7am because I've always been an early riser.
138
I grab a quick breakfast and then head to work.
139
My mornings are normally quite structured.
140
I check emails, plan tasks and then prepare for my students.
141
Weekend evenings are significantly more relaxed.
142
I try to hit the gym or unwind with a book.
143
There team, I'm contrasting.
144
I'm contrasting the weekday to the weekend.
145
My daily routines are not always the same.
146
And finally, let's answer the question, is your daily routine different on weekends?
147
Yes, absolutely.
148
I always try to lie in at the weekend until at least 7.30am.
149
Maybe I'll meet some friends and invite them over for dinner
150
and grab a bite to eat with them in order to spend quality time together and create unforgettable memories.
151
I like keeping weekends flexible so that I can recharge my battery and prepare for a new and fantastic week.
152
Wonderful, great answer.

Simple, effective and will assure to get you the band 9 in the IELTS exam.

¿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.
