Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel IELTS with Charles.
4
Today we are looking at the hot hot hot IELTS part 2 speaking topic of describe your favorite celebrity.
5
Now in previous videos, please see down below,
6
I give and outline the vocabulary that we need in order to answer this question in a band-line way.
7
However, today we are focusing on our structures and speaking in a coherent manner.
8
As always team, I hope you will all enjoy this part two speaking.
9
Without further ado, let's begin.
10
There are so many famous people throughout the world.
11
However, if I had to pick one, it would be Mr. Barack Obama.
12
He was the former president of the United States and came from very humble beginnings.
13
Mr. Obama has a variety of characteristics.
14
Firstly, he is a very charismatic man and when he walks into a room he instantly gathers everyone's attention.
15
Secondly, he is incredibly charming and everybody that he meets falls in love with him at first sight.
16
Lastly, he is a very kind and thoughtful man and always prioritizes his family.
17
He loves his three children and indeed his stunning wife.
18
The reason why Mr. Obama is special is not only because he is a devoted father and loyal husband,
19
but also because he is a philanthropist.
20
For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic,
21
he donated millions of dollars to help poor and impoverished people throughout rural America in order to buy all of the necessities,
22
such as food and water, that they required during this incredibly difficult time.
23
Moreover, Mr. Obama is indeed an inspiration to people throughout the world,
24
regardless of their background and indeed, he has helped people from all walks of life.
25
That is why in the future, I hope I can meet Mr. Obama and give him a hug.
26
So guys, I hope you all enjoyed listening to that answer.
27
I kept it quite simple there, but we used some beautiful and stunning vocabulary and sentences.
28
Team, a top tip for your IELTS exam.
29
You don't need to speak really fast in order to get high marks for fluency.
30
My advice is to slow things down.
31
Give yourself time to think so that your answer is fluent and coherent.
32
Moreover, did you all notice my natural intonation when talking about Mr. Obama?
33
I have that passion and excitement in my voice.
34
He is indeed an inspiration.
35
He is a philanthropist.
36
Give an example and tell a story.

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: impoverish /ɪmˈpɒv(ə)ɹɪʃ/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/
- Palabras largas — cuida el acento: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, charismatic /ˌkɛɹəzˈmætək/, impoverish /ɪmˈpɒv(ə)ɹɪʃ/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/
Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, moreover /mɔːˈɹəʊ.və/, impoverish /ɪmˈpɒv(ə)ɹɪʃ/, devote /dɪˈvəʊt/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: charismatic /ˌkɛɹəzˈmætək/, prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/

Cómo practicar con este vídeo
- Escucha el vídeo entero una vez sin hablar y anota las palabras que no conoces.
- Haz shadowing frase por frase a velocidad normal, repitiendo cada una hasta que tu ritmo coincida con el del hablante.
- Grábate y compara con el original, prestando atención a palabras como philanthropist, stun, coherent.
¿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.
