Shadowing Practice: IELTS Speaking Test band score 7 with feedback - Learn English Speaking with Video

Okay, from here starts the speaking test.

This is the speaking test of the International English Language Testing System.

Centre number DDE120 and the candidate is Zohreh Mirzapur.

The candidate number is 01313458.

The examiner is Samson Seas.

Examiner number 443533.

Good afternoon.

My name is Samsun.

Would you please tell me your full name?

I'm Zohre Mirzapu.

Right.

Can I see your identification, please?

Yes.

Thank you.

Wonderful.

Okay, let's talk about your neighborhood.

Describe a park in your neighborhood or city that you like.

I start talking about a park in my neighbourhood.

There is a small park at the end of my street.

There is a fountain in the middle.

There are some benches where you can sit and relax.

There's also a small garden.

And some of the local neighbours plant flowers there every year.

Right.

And what can people do there?

Actually, it's a small park, so there is not much to do there.

It's just for looking pretty.

You can go there, sit on the benches and watch the water in the fountain.

You can enjoy the beauty of the flowers.

It's so enjoyable.

And also, it's right next to the bus stop, so you can wait for the bus there too.

Right.

Do you enjoy spending time there?

Yes, it's very enjoyable and I like to go to the park, especially when the weather is nice,

because after being inside all day at work, I like to go to the park on my way home,

because it's a way for spending time outside and sometimes I run into my friends in the park and

I've gotten to know some of my neighbours by spending time in the park so that's an advantage.

All right and let's move on to talk about computers now.

How much time do you spend using a computer?

I spend several hours every day using a computer because it's an important part of my job.

I try to stay away from the computer on weekends, but I think I'm not that much successful at that

because there are always a lot of things that I want to do with it.

So I think I spend a lot of time on computer because somehow it is somehow addictive.

Right.

And do you use a computer for work, study or personal reasons?

The reason why I spend a lot of time on the computer is that I use it for my work.

I use it for my work and most of my work involves creating documents for the company.

so apart from that I spend a lot of time playing computer games

because it makes me feel relaxed and it's relaxing especially

when I'm working on a big project apart from

that I do some personal things on my computer

so the main reason I use the computer is for my work but it's an important part of my personal life.

Okay and what's what are some things that you don't like about using computers?

Actually, nobody can deny that computers are useful and they make the things more convenient.

For example, I couldn't do my job without the computer and it is very important in my life.

But the thing is that, as I said, computers are a little bit addictive.

For example, sometimes I spend a lot of time, I end up using the computer an entire afternoon,

an entire Saturday afternoon instead of spending time with my friends, family or relatives or going outside or doing exercise.

So I think there should be a strategy to take away or stop overusing the computer.

Okay, thank you very much.

That's wonderful.

All right, in this part I will give you a topic

and you will talk about the topic for up to two minutes.

You have one minute to think about what you're going to say

and you can make notes to help you if you wish.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Okay, great.

So here's a piece of paper, pencil, and here is your topic.

I want you to to talk about your favourite subject you studied in school.

Now you now have one minute to start making notes.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, your one minute is up.

You may start speaking now.

When I was in the school, my favorite subject was history.

I really liked it and I liked all kinds of history and I still do.

I studied it every year in high school from 9th through 12th.

So I learned a lot of new things about the history of our country.

I learned about different events

in the history of my country

and I learned about a lot of people like for example

inventors like common people who contributed

to our history politicians soldiers etc and and I learned about all these things.

I learned all these things about the history of other countries.

So, I like history because it makes me understand,

feel, and imagine what history looked like in the past in different times.

and it makes me understand that people have lived under different kinds of conditions during

different kinds of different periods of the history and and they've had different kinds of,

for example, interests, needs, and emotions.

So I think it is very important to understand all these kinds of things.

So that's the end of the two minutes.

May I have your papers back please?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

okay okay so in part two we've been talking about a subject you studied in school

now i'd like to ask you some questions related to this topic

so what school subjects were offered in the past

that are not offered now my parents told me that

100

when they were in the school girls studied home economies

101

and boys studied shop or for example girls learned how to cook

102

and sue and boys learned how to build and fix things.

103

Now we don't have those and we don't have such those kind of subjects in school

104

and it seems very funny to me to spend time on those kind of things

105

because I think we can learn them at home.

106

And if you are interested in those subjects, actually, they are not academic things,

107

academic subjects, and they are not things for school.

108

Right.

109

And what school subjects should be offered in the future that are not offered now, do you think?

110

I think that's a very interesting question because we cannot predict the future.

111

and the thing that is changing every day is technology.

112

So I think whatever schools teach should be related to the technology of the future.

113

For example, maybe students will learn at home alone by using the computer

114

or internet or they will learn the same or similar subjects as we are learning now,

115

but they will learn in a different way, for example, by using the internet or computer.

116

Right.

117

And do you think the main purpose of education is to accumulate knowledge or to prepare for a job?

118

I think both things are important.

119

For example, when you are younger, you need to learn basic skills.

120

For example, first you learn how to write, read and use a computer.

121

Then you learn to think, analyze and interpret.

122

So these are the skills that you need in all steps of your life, in all aspects of your life, especially for your future job.

123

But then when you are a little bit older, for example, in high school or in college,

124

you start focusing on the skills that you might need in the future for a specific type of job.

125

So I think both things are important.

126

Okay.

127

And how important is it to have an educated society?

128

I think it is very important to have an educated society

129

because if some of the people are highly educated and others are poorly educated,

130

So there is not an equal participation in the society

131

because those who are highly educated are more likely to have more money

132

and more political power than those who are less educated.

133

So if you want to have an equal society,

134

everyone should be prepared and should be equally educated.

135

I know that it is ideal, but it's something to work for.

136

Okay, thank you very much.

137

That is the end of the speaking test.

138

You can take a deep breath now. and relax.

139

Okay.

140

So what we're going to do now, I'm just going to go through the four criteria with you and let's have a look at your band score.

141

So we've got the four criteria, as you know, the coherence and fluency,

142

vocabulary, grammar and accuracy, the grammatical range and pronunciation.

143

So, you know, based on these four criteria, rounding them all up, I think what we're looking at right now is seven,

144

which is very good it's a seven um i wanted to give you actually 7.5

145

but it it's there was certain you know a few uh bits

146

and pieces here we could look at just to uh help

147

you increase uh one band score i would say you could

148

you could go for it you could get an eight if you

149

if you follow certain techniques uh i think you know let's

150

start looking at your uh how how fluent you are i mean it is it is great

151

the way you're paraphrasing

152

and using linking words this is this is what's uh been

153

giving you the the marks even though your pauses were were

154

very long you seemed you know hesitant at you know some

155

points you look like you were maybe running out of ideas

156

i don't think that's a language problem for you that's more

157

of more of you trying to produce an additional idea

158

or maybe talk for a longer period of time

159

which of course in the IELTS speaking test

160

when you get to part two it is important

161

and we'll get to that in a minute

162

but you had some ums here and there uh

163

but you know all together uh the way you're the way

164

you were producing your sentences I thought they were very good

165

vocabulary was I I didn't have a problem with your vocabulary

166

I thought it was really good I thought it was strong

167

uh you you could use a wide range of vocabulary you were using them in correct spaces

168

that that shows the examiner that you haven't uh you know prepared anything

169

especially in advance just to impress the examiner um i think

170

you just you have a generally you have a strong use of vocabulary

171

which is what which what you're getting good marks for uh

172

so congratulations on that uh grammar

173

and accuracy here you see oh i'd say it is strong

174

altogether again it's you get get to this hesitant side of you.

175

Sometimes you go, you get self repetitive, you do repeat a few things here and there, maybe trying to fix the grammar in your head.

176

But altogether it is strong.

177

So, you know, you've got, or you have, I think you need to fix this.

178

So what you would do is basically go in front of the mirror and, you know, work on this and that, you know, different topics, complex topics, I would say,

179

because with the simple stuff i don't think you have a

180

you know too much of a problem um just to you know produce longer maybe more complicated sentences

181

so that's what you would need to do pronunciation uh again

182

very strong pronunciation i didn't have any i think it was

183

very clear to the examiner how you could pronounce words uh even

184

if they were sometimes complicated you did it very well you

185

had one mispronunciation i i wrote down here i managed to

186

catch it was uh people uh you know they they they sew it's

187

so you know when you're sewing

188

but there was just one as in the rest of it i mean

189

that was a very simple word

190

and you were you were producing very complex uh words

191

and you were fine with it

192

so you know what we're looking at here is definitely um a seven

193

which really potentially could be an eight if you just work on a few things like um see your linking words

194

were very strong.

195

Your paraphrasing and your linking words were great.

196

Your pauses may have been a little bit too long.

197

It just...

198

It provides a little bit of, you know, hesitant.. the hesitant mood of you hesitating a little bit there.

199

But, you know, that can easily be worked on.

200

That's just a matter of, again, more practicing maybe slightly longer sentences.

201

Do you want to know what band score you'll get in the IELTS 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.
