So let's start off by talking about tourist attractions in your country.

What's the most popular tourist attraction in your country?

Well, I'm from Nepal and in Nepal we have different cultural heritage sites and there are like beautiful nature,

the highest peak of the world, Mount Everest, you know, and the birthplace of Gautam Buddha.

So that is one of the main reasons why people are coming in our country to see the mountains and to see the cultural heritage sites.

Yeah, and also like mostly for the Hindu people, they are coming in one of the most popular temple that is Kalpa Shupatinath.

And that is one of the, I think, the greatest place.

And people are coming again and again to worship the Lord Shiva from different countries across.

If I were to visit your country, what would you recommend I do there?

You know, like when people come in my country, they will mostly visit in the place where everybody knows.

Everybody knows about the areas, the cultural heritage side, and whatever reason it is.

But from my preference, I'll suggest you to go in the place where it is not developed.

Like go in the place for a trekking.

You know, you will see the different side of the lives of people.

It will be like not developed place and you will see the how the people live, what they eat, what kind of climate they are living, you know.

So that is one of the thing that people must see the side of my country and it is very beautiful.

Do you prefer to go on holiday in your own country or travel abroad to a different country?

Always my own country.

Like I haven't explored my country in a way that I will go and travel another country for now.

My target will always be to see the different side of my country, especially the trekking, I would say.

I love to go in the trekking.

I love to go in the mountains, nature, so definitely my country.

Now let's talk about cooking.

What's the most popular dish from your country?

The most popular dish is Momo.

So it's steam, how I say.

So this is a steam covered with the chicken, which is marinated and they will steam and cook it basically.

But you can make it in different way.

You can fry it, you can, according to your taste, you know, saute with the butter like that.

And do they normally serve food to guests who visit your house?

Yes.

Like Nepalese people are very hospitable and we do serve people and we care about them in a way like, you know, the God is in your house.

So you will find a different hospitality in my country.

And is fast food very popular in your country?

Yes, fast food is very popular.

Mostly the deep fried item, you know, the people are liking that thing more.

So yes, the momo that I mentioned before, this is also the fast food item, one of the.

What was your favorite food when you were a child?

When I was a child, basically our staple food, the rice, dal, curry, achar, you know, this is the go-to food.

So that I would say I used to love it.

And still I do.

Now let's talk about movies.

Okay.

Who is your favorite actor or actress?

My favorite actor, like I don't have any specific person to mention that this is my favorite because everybody have different acting, you know, and I adore acting.

So there are so many people I adore.

So particularly one person.

No, it's nothing like that to mention.

But yeah, there are many.

So I couldn't mention one person.

How often do you go to the movies?

Twice in a month because I love cinema.

I love to see how they make the movie, the acting obviously and yeah how was the story.

Especially I like the real life based story.

So if it's something like that then I love to watch.

Can you tell me about the last movie you saw?

The last movie I saw was, it's kind of like fictional, not real based.

It was War 2.

I went to watch there because I really liked the actor.

It was Hrithik Roshan and he's kind of already old, but the way he maintained himself and his acting is something you don't want to miss it even though there is not much in the story to tell but yeah I went there to watch him basically.

Are there any movies you would like to see in the future?

In the future like there is no particular movie that's in my mind right now but I would definitely want to watch the movie which was made in my country to see in Dubai movie halls you know.

How have movies changed since you were a child?

Like when I was when I was a kid the movie used to be long like three hours

and there were so many stories so many characters the main lead people also will be like many you

know but now in the movie it's quite short and also the main character are they are limited they're

not putting the 10 main character they're putting like two three maximum maybe because of the budget or whatever it is

so yeah that is a difference i feel and also in the story because in the past time the story was related according to that time and now the story is different according to the present situation.

So I'm from Nepal.

It's in the South Asia between India and China.

And my country is mostly popular for the highest peak of the world, Mount Everest.

Many of the people are going in my country for that reason.

So the tourist attraction place in my country is there are so many.

People mostly come for the nature, Mount Everest, as I mentioned before, and different cultural heritage sites and the temples.

And to see the life of the people as well, you know, because mostly people have in their mindset, like Nepal is a developing country.

So they want to see how it looks from their perspective and how it is differed from their lifestyle.

The tourist attraction is, I would say, the nature.

The nature, people coming to see, to see the weather, beautiful weather, the mountains, rivers.

And also the people of Nepal, they are very kind.

They have a great hospitality.

They serve to the people like they are the God.

Because it's a saying in my country, like, treat your guest.

like they are the god you know so that is also the main reason why the Nepalese people hospitality

is differ from other people other country and Nepal have always been the tourist destination from a

long time mostly because of the nature obviously and different medicine herbs that we can find you know that's the end of part two okay and we're gonna move on to part three now Let's talk about museums and art galleries.

Do you believe that all art galleries and museums should be 100% free?

I would not say 100% free in a way because it's art, you know.

So you need to pay some contribution for the hard work of the people, for preserving that thing and to creating that thing in a way, you know.

but at the same time it should not be expensive in a way that people should be thinking like should I go to the museum?

No, it should be like easily accessed and like just a limited budget for the preservation of the item.

What do you think museums or art galleries should do to make them more popular with people?

I'm sorry I didn't get the question.

What should people, what should they do, what should they include?

and what things should be in the museums or in the art galleries or different promotions, things like that.

What should they do to make them more popular, make people want to go there more?

That's so nice question.

Like I've never thought in that way.

Because in museum, what we are seeing is the rare piece of previous ancient kings, you know, that kind of item or the art, the paintings.

To make it interesting, I think we can make something in the digital way also, you know.

100

So different transition, maybe that will captivate the now today's generation, because today's generation is mostly about digital things, you know.

101

So something we can relate and to make a content, maybe.

102

So yeah.

103

Now let's talk about the holiday industry.

104

Why do you think some people prefer package holidays over independent traveling?

105

It depends upon the people actually.

106

Because some people are confident to go alone wherever they can.

107

But some people like me, I have to think.

108

Like can I go solo?

109

No, I need somebody who can guide me.

110

So if there is a thing called package, then obviously it's easy.

111

You know, there will be a guide.

112

He have all the plan for you for the holiday.

113

You don't have to stress about where to go, how to go.

114

So that is like a easy, easy way in a way.

115

But some people are like independent.

116

They don't want to rely on anybody.

117

They want to explore by themselves, book a cab by themselves, check by themselves, check hotel, check places.

118

So that is one of the differentiated, you know, between these two packages.

119

Do you think that there can be too many tourists?

120

Can they cause problems for local people?

121

The number of people traveling is not the problem, but it depends upon the people.

122

What kind of people are they?

123

If they are creating drama, then obviously there will be hard for the people who are guiding them or who are the regular person around, you know, if they create some issue.

124

Other than that, the number of tourists in our country, it won't be a problem.

125

But sometimes it's going to be a problem if all the hotels are booked, there's no place to eat, then how are we going to treat them well?

126

You know, that would be the issue.

127

And can large holiday resorts and hotels have a negative impact on the environment?

128

It could be other impact as well.

129

It's have a positive impact and negative impact at the same time.

130

A positive, obviously, the revenue generation, you know.

131

and they can see the beautiful side of our country and see the lifestyle.

132

But at the same time, the negative side would be obviously the air pollution and there should be a production of different food items.

133

So they're going to be a waste days and bring the water pollution and things like that.

134

Okay, so I'm going to give you some feedback on part one, part two and part three.

135

I'm going to start off with more tactical, more strategic tips,

136

things that could improve quite quickly for you and then we'll give you some feedback on your grammar vocabulary pronunciation and your fluency so

137

part one you did very well again it felt very relaxed it felt like talking to you know a friend or a colleague you're making it a

138

little bit more difficult for yourself in two in two different ways the first way is i will often ask you a question and you will list every single way that that that that you could answer that question so If I ask you,

139

for example, about tourist attractions, you won't tell me about Mount Everest.

140

You'll tell me about every tourist attraction in Nepal.

141

So that is just making your life more difficult because it turns it into a knowledge test.

142

So it's a speaking test, not a knowledge test.

143

So we want to do things that help us speak as clearly and as confidently as possible and basically make our job easier.

144

So for example, if I ask you a question about tourist attractions, Pick the one that you find easiest to talk about.

145

The examiner is not thinking about, is she giving an impressive answer or is the knowledge correct?

146

They're thinking about your grammar, your vocabulary, your pronunciation and your fluency.

147

In general, avoid listing things and just pick one easy thing.

148

I think that will make not just part one much, much easier, but part two and part three as well.

149

You did have that issue again in part two.

150

so you are listing so many different places and different things there's a danger that on test day you won't stick

151

to the question and you won't answer the question because you're listing so many different things my advice for part two and

152

for most of these questions would be start your answer with one answer one thing so for example describe a tourist attraction in your

153

country I'm going to talk about Mount Everest or a famous resort or a famous could be a waterfall it could be anything but focus on that

154

one thing and then go deep on that one thing and then that makes it much easier for you to talk about because i think our

155

brains just find it easier to talk about one thing than to talk about 20 things you did stop halfway through but you recovered very very

156

well a good examiner will do something like i did was just like you know just talk about one thing they want you to do well but

157

if that happens again on test day you might get an examiner that just doesn't help you in that way which could cause

158

problems so what I would recommend doing for part 2 is again pick one thing but look at the bullet points here on

159

the cue card you can add more things so more things related to that main topic that you find it easier to talk about the

160

other thing you were doing in part 2 is you were looking down at the page and then talking and then looking down the page The notes are there to help you, but you were using them in a way that hindered you, that stopped you doing well.

161

So what I would recommend doing is during the one minute period where you're preparing your answer, do write down notes, think about what you're going to say, and then just try and speak as naturally as possible.

162

And if you run out of things to say, then you can glance down just so they're there to help you.

163

That would make you much more fluent and help you speak for the whole two minutes.

164

That three was also quite good.

165

You did develop your answers a little bit.

166

It felt like you were trying to find the correct answer rather than just speaking to me.

167

So remember it's a speaking test.

168

There's no correct answer.

169

For a speaking test, as long as you're answering the question, as long as you're talking about that topic, you can go in many different directions.

170

So pick the direction that is easiest for you to talk about.

171

For example, can large holiday resorts and hotels have a negative impact on the environment?

172

You were trying to like, does it have air pollution or water pollution?

173

Like, just pick one thing to think about.

174

So air pollution, you could talk about, you know, building the resort will obviously pollute the air with all the construction.

175

And then all the cars going, transportation going there.

176

I really like the way you asked me to repeat the question.

177

Not many people do that.

178

And you did do that.

179

And you can do that.

180

So I think I can't remember exactly what I did, but I think at least one time when I repeated the question, I rephrased it to help you understand it.

181

And that's what a good examiner will do.

182

They will understand that there might be one or two words that you didn't quite understand and they will rephrase it to make it easier.

183

You can also ask the examiner to explain a word.

184

So, for example, what do you mean by resort?

185

Some people wouldn't know that a resort is like a big hotel and a big tourist complex.

186

then the examiner will explain that.

187

Oh, hotel.

188

Okay.

189

And then you'll be able to answer it better.

190

So keep doing that.

191

If you don't understand questions, ask that examiner to repeat the question or what does that word mean?

192

Or can you rephrase that?

193

But you did really, really well.

194

You could expand your answers in part three a little bit by using more examples.

195

Sometimes examples help you think more clearly.

196

So is there a resort in Nepal or a resort where you currently live?

197

and a massive resort or a massive hotel does that have any impact on the environment as human beings find it easier to talk

198

about stories and examples than to think about these abstract concepts so you can talk about that in part three so i think if you used all of

199

that advice the next time you come in and do one of these with us you'll see a big big improvement and you'll do even better i've given you a lot of negative feedback but a lot of the stuff you did was great you know and i'm just doing that to help you as much as possible.

200

But overall, your pronunciation was clear.

201

I could understand every word that you were saying.

202

Nearly all of your grammar was good as well.

203

You were making some small grammar mistakes like these ones.

204

It will be like not developed-less and how it is differ from their lifestyle.

205

There will be a guide.

206

He have all the plan for you for the holiday.

207

Most of your vocabulary is good.

208

You are able to talk about many different topics without any problem and you're not making many collocation or or vocabulary errors and

209

your fluency is quite good as well there's a few little areas that we could help you be more fluent but overall very very good i'm going to

210

create a whole pdf feedback report for you and i'm going to give you your scores in that pdf feedback report and send that

211

to you you can also download it in the description and the pins comments i've included the full feedback report and also examples of sentence structures, grammar, vocabulary that this student used that would help you too.

212

And I'm also going to include lots of extra samples and questions for you to practice on a hundred of the most common words that band seven, eight and nine students use in their speaking test.

¿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.
