1
Oh, hello.
2
Listen, this is Keith from IELTS Speaking Success
3
and I'm here to help you build your speaking skills so you can succeed in the IELTS Speaking Test.
4
So today I'm starting a great series of videos
5
that I think will radically improve your performance in part two of the Speaking Test.
6
It's actually a framework that will give you the structure, the language and the ideas to give a stunning performance.
7
All right, a pretty good performance.
8
No, a very good performance in IELTS Speaking Part 2.
9
So, without further ado, let's get straight into it.
10
So, as I mentioned, this is a framework approach.
11
And it's for the Part 2 of IELTS Speaking.
12
Now, for me, the part two questions can be broken down into five categories.
13
And I think these five categories really help us structure our answers.
14
And the five categories are simply people, places, events, activities and things.
15
Most questions can fit into these categories.
16
And I'll give you a framework that will help you structure your answers.
17
Today's video is looking at people, the first category.
18
And look out for the next video which is all about places, which will also give you a great framework for those kind of questions.
19
Let's begin then with people.
20
Now, when we talk about people, for me there are different questions,
21
but all of them fundamentally can include who the person is,
22
how you know them and describing them.
23
So who they are, maybe it's your brother, your sister, family, friend, how you know them,
24
where you met maybe, and describing them could be personality or appearance.
25
So let's have a look at some recent part two questions here.
26
Describe a friend that you feel proud of.
27
Now here you can talk about who they are again, right?
28
How you know them and you can describe them.
29
Probably you're describing their personality maybe because it's what makes them, what makes you proud of them.
30
Another question, describe a person who travels a lot by plane for work purposes.
31
Again you can say who they are, how you know them, maybe it's a work colleague
32
and you can describe them maybe more of a focus on their their work
33
maybe their personality if they like flying maybe their appearance you know maybe they're
34
very very big and find it difficult to fly
35
or maybe they're very big because they fly
36
and don't do much exercise who knows a third question describe someone you know who spends their free time helping others.
37
Again, you can say who they are, how you know them.
38
Describe them, probably a focus on their personality, right?
39
If it's they're helping other people, they have that kind of personality or characteristics.
40
Now, of course, for each question, you also want to focus on the kind of activity they do.
41
So what they did that makes you proud, or why they travel, what their job is,
42
that activity, or their activity of helping people.
43
So that will also be a key part of your part to answer, the activity, what they do.
44
But that will be different.
45
But the who, how you know them, describe them, can be applied to all of the people questions.
46
So these are the ideas.
47
They may help you.
48
Of course, this is not a rule.
49
This is just a guideline.
50
Let's break it down a bit and look at some of the language.
51
So if we're looking at people and we say who they are, okay, X or Tom was a former colleague.
52
Maybe he was a former classmate.
53
That means he used to be your classmate or he used to be your colleague.
54
He was a former roommate, a former work colleague.
55
Or he's a classmate of mine.
56
Now notice, instead of saying he is my classmate, he is a classmate of mine.
57
It's just giving richer grammar, a nicer grammatical structure that's more interesting.
58
And you know you want to increase your width of grammar or your range of grammar.
59
So trying to incorporate more complex grammatical structures is a good idea.
60
You could say, he's one of the most intelligent people I know.
61
He's one of the most beautiful, handsome, diligent, generous people I know.
62
It's a lovely superlative, right?
63
Again, more interesting grammar.
64
He's one of the most I know.
65
Now, if you've watched my fluency video, you'll be familiar with my approach to improve fluency.
66
And the key part of that is substituting.
67
You could practice this right now, right here with all of these.
68
OK, so Tom was a former colleague.
69
Try it.
70
Classmate.
71
Tom was a former classmate.
72
Exactly.
73
Same again.
74
He's a classmate of mine.
75
Colleague.
76
Friend.
77
Exactly.
78
Likewise, he's one of the most intelligent people I know.
79
Handsome.
80
Diligent.
81
Diligent means studies hard right?
82
Generous.
83
He's one of the most generous people I know.
84
Great.
85
Remember to put your stress on the adjective.
86
He's one of the most generous people I know.
87
He's one of the most intelligent people I know.
88
Your word stress is really important as well.
89
So we've talked about who.
90
What about how you know them?
91
Well, obviously, I first met Mark two years ago or I first met Mark three months ago.
92
Nice, simple.
93
You could make it more interesting by using the present perfect.
94
I've known Mark for two years.
95
I've known...
96
I've known Tom for two years.
97
Or throw in a nice expression for donkey's years.
98
Nothing to do with donkeys, just means a long time.
99
I've known Mark for donkey's years.
100
I've known Mark for donkey's years.
101
Brilliant.
102
Again, you can substitute, right?
103
I've known Mark for five years.
104
I've known Mark for two years.
105
Also, we go back a long time.
106
Very simple but nice kind of idiomatic expression.
107
We go back means we have known each other a long time.
108
We go back a long time.
109
Brilliant.
110
Now, we've looked at who, how you know them.
111
What about describing them?
112
Well, we can use nouns, adverbs and adjectives.
113
Let's say Mark.
114
Mark is a real extrovert.
115
We're using the noun, okay?
116
Or he's a real introvert. So extrovert, he's outgoing.
117
Introvert, he's shy.
118
He's a real alpha male.
119
Or she's a real chatterbox.
120
So you can again substitute any kind of noun to describe their personality.
121
Part two, it's very very simple again to make more complex structures using adverbs.
122
So you can say well you know he's gregarious, that means he's sociable, he likes meeting people.
123
Or he's pretty gregarious.
124
He's fairly gregarious.
125
So we can substitute.
126
It's your turn.
127
Substitute pretty.
128
Fairly.
129
He's fairly gregarious.
130
Right.
131
Rather.
132
She's rather gregarious.
133
somewhat he's somewhat gregarious extremely he's extremely gregarious gregarious that's a hard one gregarious he's extremely gregarious
134
finally you can use adjectives and you can be substituting the adjectives so he's a little
135
withdrawn means shy right he's a little introvert he's a little timid
136
so he's a little withdrawn he's a little gregarious again practice your substituting
137
and build up your fluency with all of these phrases
138
and for those of you who really paid attention with the fluency formula video and if you haven't seen it, go and watch it in a minute.
139
After substituting, make the sentence true.
140
Say something that is true for you.
141
So instead of Tom and Mark, think of the real person.
142
Ah, my brother, John.
143
John is pretty gregarious.
144
Yeah.
145
So once you make true sentences,
146
you're activating your brain and you really start to build your fluency.
147
So that's it.
148
We have seen who, how you know them, describing them.
149
Describing here is more about personality but you can also do appearance.
150
So now next I'm going to take one of the recent questions,
151
in fact this one, describe a friend that you feel proud of
152
and I'm going to give you a model answer using quite a few of these expressions we've just looked at.
153
Right, let's do it.
154
I'm going to talk about Tom, who was a former colleague of mine, back in the day when I was working for a law firm in London.
155
So we've known each other for donkey's years, and I think we first met in 2010.
156
We were working in the same department and got on really well.
157
We really hit it off right from the start.
158
He's arguably the most intelligent guy I've ever met.
159
I mean, he's sharp, right?
160
Really sharp.
161
He's pretty gregarious, but very focused.
162
Anyway, he left that company to set up his own business and he made a real success of it.
163
He went from being one man to now having a team of 10
164
and being known as the leading law firm in his area.
165
I feel extremely proud of him because he deserved to do well
166
and I'm sure he will continue to grow and do well in the future.
167
And that, my friends, is the model answer.
168
Can you see how I've taken some of the phrases and expressions to incorporate it into my answer?
169
I've talked about who he is, how I know him, described him, and also of Keith, of course.
170
Also what they did that made me feel proud.
171
Great.
172
That brings us to the end of today's video.
173
Look out for the next one.
174
We're going to be looking at places and doing some similar activities to build your structure,
175
your ideas and beautiful language that will radically improve your part two answers.

¿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.
