Let's start off by talking about your home.

What's your favorite thing about your home?

My favorite thing about my home would probably be my dog or my sister.

I'm not sure because my dog could be annoying sometimes in the morning.

He likes to wake me up.

But my sister is almost the same person as me.

So I like her company.

We like to do a lot of the same things.

And we don't have that big of an age gap.

So we're similar in age.

So we like to share the same hobbies,

the same music taste, the same games,

and we like a lot of the same things.

What makes your home comfortable?

I don't want to sound like I'm obsessed with my bed, but my bed.

I like being in bed,

it's super soft, and also my rocking chair.

What would you like to change about your home?

I would like to have more windows in my house

because I like the sun and I don't like being outside so much because it's hot.

But I like daylight.

So if I had more windows in my house,

I feel like that would make my house better.

Now let's talk about shopping.

Where do you prefer to shop?

I used to love shopping at the mall,

but ever since this day and age has been evolving,

I like shopping online more.

Do you prefer shopping alone or with others?

I like doing a lot of things with a lot of people

and I've tried shopping alone and I've tried shopping with others.

I think that I prefer shopping with others just because I can get their opinion.

What was your last important purchase?

I would consider grocery shopping important.

So food, does that count as an important purchase?

Now let's talk about your free time.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I'm currently obsessed with this new game on my Nintendo,

so I like playing games.

How often do you spend time with friends?

I'm with friends almost every day.

I wouldn't say that I make it a priority,

but every day I spend time with my friends,

be it going to the gym,

or even just running errands together,

or just going for a drive.

So I'll say every other day.

What new hobbies would you like to develop in the future?

I do want to get into Pilates,

just more into wellness things because I'm super into like active stuff.

So like going to the gym is what I'm doing right now.

But I want to like expand that by going into like Pilates or yoga,

stretching, just like a lot of like breath work, things like that.

Now let's talk about food.

What are the most popular foods in your country?

Adobo and pancits are my two personal favorites.

and then for dessert I like halo halo.

Do you like trying new foods?

Yes.

One thing

that I would say about myself is I'm not afraid to

try anything from any country in comparison to anybody else that I've met,

but there are some foods that I wouldn't try.

Are there any foods that you really dislike?

So there's balut.

I don't know if you are aware of what it is,

but it's like an egg but it's like a fetus of a duck

so that's that's something that i don't like a skill

that took me a long time to learn um is singing

and so the reason why i wanted to learn how to sing is

because i wouldn't say it's like a tradition where i'm from in the philippines

but it's just like i grew up just hearing people sing karaoke all the time

and i always thought like singing is basically just the instrument of a person

and it was beautiful to me

so since i was young i grew up just watching people singing well listening to people singing

and then once i got into school um i think around the fourth

or fifth grade i started going into music class where i would learn instruments

but it was like instruments can do so much but i feel like the power of the voice is stronger.

So I started to have classes where I could learn to sing.

And then also I would practice at home with my family and we had our own karaoke machine.

And my sisters were interested in stuff like that too.

So we would sing together or like we'd play,

I don't know if you know the game, Band Hero.

So we'd play like a guitar and drums

and then someone would be the singer which would usually be me

and another reason why I was motivated to do that

when I got older when

when I was in school we used to have like talent shows I was always like interested in music

so I was in the music side of school I guess

and um so when I was in music class I would you know go to drumming contest

but that was boring then i started to go into singing

because everybody else around me was singing and i wanted to be

that and then when i got to the talent show i started doing better

and better and better and i won a couple times so

that motivated me but then um the problem is

that i've been inconsistent like i would you know focus on singing for a few months

and then i would stop and then I'd go back to it

and so I actually stopped for a few years and then I only just recently started trying to focus on it again.

So we've been talking about a skill

100

that took you a long time to learn and we're going to continue to talk about learning and learning new skills.

101

What factors determine how quickly someone can learn a new skill?

102

To thank you for watching this video I want to give you a free course

103

that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score

104

What it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test

105

and give you strategies for part one part two and part three

106

And also allow you to practice at home for free

107

and get feedback to sign up for

108

that for free All you have to do is just click the link in the description.

109

Thanks very much.

110

Let's get back to the video So I think,

111

well, confidence and then like the drive to want to do something,

112

like if you're interested in it or not,

113

and then also being consistent.

114

Why do some people give up when learning something difficult?

115

I think one of the biggest factors would be comparison.

116

Let's say if you wanted to learn a sport and you're with other people that are good at the sport,

117

or for example when I mentioned singing like everybody around me was doing it

118

and they were already good at it and so

119

if I'm participating in competitions and other people are doing better than me

120

and I keep trying and trying it makes me feel demotivated because I compare myself to other people.

121

What role does natural talent play in mastering a skill?

122

I think that's an interesting one because because I'm half Filipino people think

123

that I'm just naturally musically inclined where it's like I was blessed with this talent.

124

I don't know if I agree because,

125

I don't know if it's because I'm half or not,

126

but when you're consistent, it may be easier,

127

and then it runs through your family,

128

but consistency is what drives,

129

oh my God, why was this hard for me?

130

I need to think of my answer.

131

I don't know why natural...

132

Why does natural being blessed affect it?

133

Because then I would be discrediting myself.

134

I would just say, oh, okay, whatever I said.

135

It just makes it easier.

136

How important is having a good teacher when learning something new?

137

I learned that having a good teacher is very important

138

when you want to learn something because personally in school I struggled with math

139

and I had tutor lessons and then I would also just like stay late after school with my teacher

140

but I never passed the class until I took lessons with my best friend.

141

So because we had a good relationship and like I felt like she could understand me I think that it's super important.

142

Why do some old skills remain relevant despite technological advances?

143

So because technology is advancing by the day,

144

everybody feels like, okay, the world is just becoming technology focused.

145

There are some talents that are purely,

146

where only humans can do them.

147

So I think that, you know, they're still important.

148

Okay, so let me give you some feedback.

149

So I'm going to talk about part one,

150

part two, and part three,

151

give you some general strategies and tactics to improve those areas.

152

And then we'll talk about your individual marks,

153

your band scores for the individual marking criteria.

154

So part one, to thank you for making it this far in the video,

155

I want to give you 10% off our VIP course.

156

158

eight, and nine success stories than any other IELTS course in the entire world.

160

165

166

We answer 100% of the questions that we get.

167

Hope that you become a VIP.

168

If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.

169

Part one, pretty good.

170

Sometimes a little short, you could have expanded your answers a little more.

171

I noticed that when you're talking about your friends or your family,

172

you're far more fluent than when you're talking about more abstract concepts.

173

It seems as if you find it very easy to talk about things that you love.

174

So I would steer the conversation towards those things.

175

Most of the questions are quite vague at times,

176

such as your home, your shopping habits, your free time.

177

When you involved your dog or your sister or your friends in those,

178

you were able to expand your answers a lot more and you spoke a lot more fluently.

179

Now you weren't not fluent, all right?

180

You were very fluent, but it is a test

181

and the examiner wants you to expand your answers a little bit more

182

so they can judge your fluency and your grammar especially.

183

So I don't think you will have any problems with part one,

184

but if you can't talk about someone you love or something you love,

185

just try and steer it towards something like an activity

186

or an object or whatever that you're very familiar with because it seems that's your comfort zone.

187

Part two, again, I really like the way you used a personal story.

188

I would always recommend that you try and do this,

189

that you don't try and make something up

190

or talk about something just that's more high level or academic to impress the examiner.

191

Because you are highly fluent when you're talking about things that you enjoy,

192

real stories from your life.

193

So always try and use real examples and real stories.

194

I had no problem with part two at all.

195

Part three, you struggle a little bit more.

196

I find that people who use real scenarios and real life things,

197

when you switch gears and you ask them to think about more abstract,

198

more academic things, it's not a criticism that they're not as fluent.

199

It's not that you didn't answer the questions,

200

but you could tell that you just didn't know what to say at times.

201

So what I would do for you in part three is,

202

again, I would try and use real examples.

203

These could be real examples from your life or personal stories about your real life.

204

So what factors determine how quickly someone can learn a new skill?

205

Talk about, you know, singing, for example.

206

You can mention that again or playing the drums or I don't know what you're into,

207

but or maybe it's something that you and your sister were learning.

208

What role does natural talent play in mastering a skill?

209

I really like the way that you used that you're part Filipino and they're very famous for being musically inclined.

210

You did lose track halfway through there because I think you were,

211

again, you were going into talking more about culture and genetics and all these different things.

212

And whereas I think you could just talk about,

213

like, do you have cousins in the Philippines who are great at doing it?

214

Or, you know, on the other side of your family,

215

are they not musically inclined at all? maybe, you know.

216

But then I asked you about a teacher and you immediately started talking about your friend and you were great.

217

I mean, you know, so this is why I keep,

218

I know I'm repeating myself, everybody's different.

219

And for you,

220

I think the best way to get one of the highest marks is just to keep talking about those people

221

that you care about.

222

Let's now talk about your individual marks.

223

So I think your biggest strength,

224

one of your biggest strengths is your pronunciation.

225

You You didn't grow up in an English speaking country,

226

but you sound better than a lot of people who grew up in an English speaking country.

227

Not just do I understand you,

228

not just accent, but your intonation and your sentence stress is very, very natural.

229

You convey a lot of meaning through your intonation,

230

your voice going up or your voice going down or when you're listing things, you're doing that.

231

And then you also use connected speech sometimes very well.

232

So I would give you a band 9 for your pronunciation.

233

It is excellent.

234

There is one area that I think you need to work on.

235

We'll talk about that in a second,

236

but let's talk about your other strengths.

237

Your vocabulary is excellent.

238

You use idiomatic vocabulary very,

239

very well, such as this.

240

And you also use very high level topic specific vocabulary such as this.

241

You also use words very precisely and very appropriately.

242

There's There's sometimes where you used simpler words

243

and then there's other times where you had to use more advanced words like musically inclined.

244

You could have said something like Filipinos are good at music,

245

but a more advanced way of saying that is they are more musically inclined and that is more specific topic specific

246

accurate term.

247

But the good thing is that you're not a try hard.

248

You're not trying to use words like that in every single sentence,

249

because you don't need to.

250

You choose the right times to use very high level vocabulary when it helps you convey meaning.

251

Grammar, you have no problem discussing any scenario,

252

and I didn't hear any grammatical errors.

253

There might have been a few little slips in there that I missed,

254

but no problem there.

255

So ban nine for grammar, ban nine for vocabulary.

256

Nine nine nine so far.

257

So less than 1% of people in the world who do the IELTS test get a band 9.

258

So it all comes down to the final part.

259

You haven't got a band 9 yet.

260

Let's see if we can help you with that part,

261

which is fluency and coherence.

262

Fluency and coherence is in one band and you need to get both at a band 9 to get a band 9.

263

So coherence means did you answer the question?

264

And fluency means, were you able to speak at a natural pace without any hesitations,

265

pauses, audible pauses, things like that.

266

At times, your fluency did stutter a little bit,

267

especially in part three, where you were trying to think of abstract ideas.

268

That is why I kept saying over and over and over again,

269

just talk about things that you care about.

270

When you start thinking too much,

271

you, and then you stop.

272

and that will happen in the real test

273

because they will throw very difficult questions at you in part three because they think you're good.

274

If they think that you are like at a band six

275

or a band seven they won't ask you many difficult questions in part three

276

but if they think this person might be a band eight,

277

band nine they will throw very difficult questions at you to stretch your ability.

278

You also, I don't know whether you're aware of this,

279

most people aren't, Something that people do a lot in modern English is they'll say filler words like,

280

like, you know, like, and,

281

you know, there's nothing wrong with that.

282

I'm trying to stop.

283

No, no, no, no. There's nothing wrong with that.

284

The only time I would say you need to improve that would be is if you want to speak for a living.

285

Like if you want to be a podcaster

286

or you want to be a radio presenter or a TV presenter or something like that,

287

then you would really need to work on it.

288

If it's just normal everyday speech,

289

everyone else is doing it around you,

290

so it's not a problem.

291

For the purpose of the IELTS test,

292

I don't think you do it so much that it affects your speech.

293

Everybody does throw in these little fillers.

294

It's not a huge problem,

295

but it does make you less fluent a little bit at times.

296

I noticed that you do it more when you're listing stuff,

297

and then when you're trying to think of a new idea,

298

you do like, you know, that way.

299

Not a problem, but again,

300

talk about things you're comfortable talking about,

301

because when you do, those things are kind of removed.

302

And then we have coherence,

303

which is, did you answer the question?

304

And did you develop your answer enough?

305

Part one, some of them were a little short.

306

Part three, you stopped halfway through sometimes and had to think.

307

The examiner will base your score not on one answer that was a little short in part one,

308

or one answer in part three that you had difficulty with.

309

They will base it on the entirety of your performance.

310

Most answers were fine or no problem at all.

311

But because some of them were,

312

you wouldn't, and because of the fluency issues,

313

you wouldn't get the top score for fluency.

314

You would get a band eight.

315

But you were more than capable of getting a band nine.

316

So I think if you go and do the test again,

317

you will 100% get a band nine.

¿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.
