Let's start off by talking about your work.

Do you work or do you study?

I'm a student.

I'm a student on Oman.

I I'm pursuing ACC here at the moment but the thing is still going on.

What is that?

It's the association of certified chartered accountancy.

So there are 13 papers in it.

You're supposed to complete all 13 to get the certification.

So far I've completed four.

I'm still working on doing the rest.

And why did you choose accountancy?

I wanted to get into CFA.

I wanted to become a CFA before there's a qualification for it as well.

So I thought I'll go through ACC and then I would jump into CFA.

And what career would you like to do in the future, maybe in five or 10 years?

Well, it's completely different than what I'm doing right now.

I am looking into starting a business or taking a turn in law.

So I would like to be a lawyer.

It's pretty interesting.

Keeps me on my toes.

Now let's talk about history.

Did you study history when you were in school?

I did.

I did study history in my high school, but I was not very good at it.

I like it now because it's all stories.

But back then, because I was forced to like, you know, get good grades and exams, I was like just in there.

Do you watch any historical TV programs or read any books about history?

I do not.

Unless they're like, completely fantasized.

I do not watch or read anything that's based on history.

And is there any period of history you would like to learn about in the future?

I would like to learn more about the Mughal Empire.

Honestly, it was a very significant time for Indians and like their rule in India.

So I would like to learn a bit more about it.

I was not interested before, but now I'd like to like be just for the cultural part of it.

Now let's talk about reading.

How often do you read?

I do read here and there sometimes.

My friends recommend me books and I like to pick it up just to, I like sharing their interests.

And what was your favorite book when you were a child?

Well, when I was a child I used to read anything by Enid Blyton.

So all of his short stories, her short stories, they were great.

I just read them before bedtime and think about it, be a part of it.

Yeah, I liked her.

Do you like to read for pleasure or is most of your reading I like to read for pleasure.

And then I also do read for university.

That's what I need.

And for pleasure, I just do that for like to rest, to calm down, just some additional skill I would like to use in my life.

What kind of books do you like to read for pleasure?

It could be educational or it could be fantasy.

It could be rom -com, anything like thriller.

Everything.

And do you prefer to read normal paper books or digital books?

I like paperback.

I feel like I am in there.

There's something different about paperback.

Digital, yes, it's nice, but it's more traditional to read by the book.

So I do prefer that.

Now let's talk about drinks.

What's your favorite drink?

I like mojitos.

There's something refreshing about it and there's like something very zesty about it.

That's why I like mojitos better.

Do you drink tea or coffee?

I don't drink any of them.

Sometimes, maybe if I have the mood, but I don't prefer any.

I would prefer juice instead.

Why not tea or coffee?

I think it gets me too excited sometimes.

So I would cut back on it.

And how often do you drink water every day?

Well, four glasses per day.

It's pretty less, I know, but I'm working on it.

I drink four glasses whenever I'm thirsty.

Whenever I'm thirsty, that's when I take water.

And if people visit your home, what drinks do you normally serve to them?

Well, juice, mostly.

I'm an Indian, so we usually serve tea because it's what we do It's a cultural thing.

So we serve tea, water, juice and then bit of side dishes like biscuits and everything.

So I was also just grab a monument here.

I would like to describe the Red Fort.

It's in Agra, Delhi and What it looks like, it's red.

We call it Lal Kila in India, in Hindi.

It's red overall.

It's a palace and it's very traditional.

Again, it was by the Mughal Empire.

It was during the Mughal dynasty.

Very traditional.

I love the aesthetics of it.

I did go there once and I felt like a princess, like, you know, walking around.

I felt very...

I had a deja vu over there, like, It's just, it felt very close to me.

And it was very pretty.

I liked how I learned a lot over there, how they used to take showers or where they used to walk,

where were the news and everything being reported, and where people died and everything.

There was a lot of history behind it.

It was nice.

Right now it looks different, of course.

100

It's modern and that's just a place that's not touched anymore.

101

But yeah, and not just that, there's something more different, it's the garden.

102

uh, The garden is well maintained.

103

There's someone who's coming and taking care of it.

104

It's very well maintained.

105

It was very beautiful to look at.

106

would not believe that something so old had something so pretty like They were being taken care of for so many years.

107

So yes, that's what I liked about it.

108

Lalthila isn't the only thing you'll find over there.

109

There's Taj Mahal, there's so many other places like Kutam Minnaar, there's Jantar Mantra as well.

110

Jantar Mantra is like one of the.. that's how they used to come

111

and tell us what time of the day it is.

112

that's a way to tell the time of time.

113

So we've been talking about a monument

114

and we're going to continue to talk about monuments and architecture and things like that in part three.

115

What kind of monuments do tourists visit in your country?

116

They visit the one that I just spoke about, the Red Fort.

117

They visit the Taj Mahal.

118

It's one of the seven wonders.

119

So yes, it's made of complete marble.

120

So people like to visit these.

121

They want to be part of, they want to see what's it like in India, what the aesthetics are and everything.

122

Why do you think there are so many statues of famous people in public areas in some countries?

123

Well, I think that's because people like to look up to them and remember them for a very long time, that they've made this change in their lives before.

124

And they've come such a long way because of what they have done significantly in history.

125

So that is why they have the statues to pay tribute mostly.

126

That's why.

127

Do you agree that old monuments and old statues should always be preserved?

128

Yes, I do.

129

I do think they should be preserved and looked after because it's something that was left behind.

130

There's history behind it.

131

Now you can write history in books, but you would like to see something.

132

You would like to see like some proof of it, like the dinosaurs.

133

We've written them in books, but there are so many people that believe they are just a theory.

134

So I do think you have to preserve them.

135

Now let's talk about architecture.

136

In your country, has the design of homes or buildings changed in recent years?

137

Not very much.

138

Overall, I don't think it has changed because they still like to live how they've been living.

139

They're not very keen on change.

140

If it's working out for them, they're just going on with it, they're seeing what else they can do with it. So yes.

141

Do you think that the architecture of a building can affect someone's mood or emotions?

142

Yes, I do think so.

143

Like if they like the place, if the architecture is good, it's according to what they want, they're gonna feel more motivated,

144

they're gonna feel better, they're gonna feel confident about doing things in their life.

145

But if not, then they're just gonna feel like, yeah, it's always been like this, just a laid back personality.

146

I feel like it does correlate with your personality.

147

I'm going to give you feedback on part one, part two and part three and then we're going to talk about your scores

148

and how you did in the four marking criteria.

149

So part one, no problem at all, it was very natural.

150

It was like having a conversation with a friend or a colleague.

151

There's no problems at all.

152

You developed your answers, you were very friendly, very fluent, no problems discussing any of those.

153

So I wouldn't change my approach in part one.

154

On or they might throw some topics at you that you weren't expecting, just go with it.

155

I think that with the level of English that you have, just try your best, even if they throw they might throw something at you weird,

156

like let's talk about hats or let's talk about birthday cakes or let's, you know, something that you just really weren't expecting.

157

Or you might be comfortable talking about hats and birthday cakes, but some people wouldn't be.

158

They're not judging you on, you know, one answer that you didn't feel comfortable talking about.

159

I think you'll be absolutely fine for part one.

160

Part two, good.

161

You said in the break when we were talking that you weren't too confident about part two.

162

What did you think you didn't do well in part two?

163

I didn't have a lot of knowledge about it.

164

So even if it's just speaking, I would like to know a bit more about it.

165

So it was a bit sad that I didn't know anything from my country.

166

Yeah.

167

But yeah, I had to make up a little bit of stuff.

168

Well, that's one of the more difficult part two questions because not a lot of not many people know much about monuments.

169

And you did really well, I thought.

170

One thing that you should always do is just keep talking until the examiner stops you.

171

You stopped at about 90 seconds, which is not a huge problem.

172

A good examiner will tell you, you know, just keep going.

173

They'll indicate to you.

174

Some of them...

175

I don't know, I'm not in every exam room.

176

Some of them won't, but I imagine, you know, the vast majority of them will help you.

177

They want to get you a good score.

178

But the problem that what happens with a lot of students is they stop and they think they're close to two minutes, but because of exam day stress,

179

they might have only been talking for 30 seconds or 40 seconds and then the examiner has to keep saying, you know, keep going.

180

That can make you a little bit nervous and stressed.

181

So I would Thank you as you need that are related to that topic.

182

You can add more bullet points.

183

Sometimes students look at the bullet points.

184

There's not enough really there for two minutes, or there's just one or two of them I don't feel comfortable talking about.

185

So add things in that you feel more comfortable talking about.

186

you, as he said, just keep going and you should be fine.

187

Part three, you did well.

188

Two, you're very good at more conversational and the speaking style, which is good.

189

And that that's a huge part of this.

190

One area that I think you could work on is your development in part three.

191

It wasn't a problem.

192

It's just, again, on test day, our brains can play tricks on us and we can be very nervous.

193

And part three, often people just want the test to be over and they give quite short answers.

194

You didn't do that, but I'm just being really careful.

195

One way you could improve that is to give examples, whatever you're thinking about.

196

It doesn't have to be like a very high level academic example, but just mention it and talk about it that a little bit.

197

What you can also do is don't just focus on like the conversational style of this is what I think.

198

Try and think from different perspectives in part three.

199

So what do different people think?

200

You know, a good way to start it is depends.

201

Some people think this, some people think that, you know, for example, do you think that design of buildings affects people's movements?

202

Some people, no, it doesn't affect them at all.

203

They wouldn't even consider that.

204

surroundings it could really affect their mood you know

205

and think about it that for example this or for example

206

that and that will really help you develop a So let's talk about the marking criteria.

207

strengths and weaknesses.

208

I think strengths, fluency and coherent, you are answering the questions, you are developing them enough.

209

I gave you some little pointers on how to develop them more, but you're doing really well in those areas.

210

Vocabulary, you didn't have any problem talking about any of those topics and you have a nice wide range vocabulary, very few errors.

211

Here's some examples of nice vocabulary that you used.

212

They've come such a long way because of what they have done significantly in history.

213

So that is why they have the statues as to show like to pay tribute mostly.

214

Same with grammar, you have a very wide range of grammar.

215

Here's some of the grammatical structures and tenses you were using, which are excellent.

216

I love the aesthetics of it.

217

I did go there once

218

and I felt like princess like you know walking around felt very I had a deja vu like It's just, it felt very close to me.

219

Pronunciation, again, I wouldn't say it is a weakness at all.

220

Some people watching my Often we will when we have people with a particular accent, they'll think that you should get a lower score

221

because you have a particular accent and you don't speak like the king of England.

222

That is actually wrong.

223

It doesn't really talk.

224

in the marking criteria about having a particular accent.

225

It talks about clarity.

226

So you could have a Vietnamese accent, a Indian accent, an Irish accent,

227

and it can be either a clear Irish accent or an extremely difficult to understand Irish accent.

228

You have an Indian accent but it doesn't affect my ability to understand you at all.

229

So what I would recommend is don't try and change, But a lot of people,

230

whenever they move to an English speaking country, think that they need to sound like the people there.

231

I would not recommend that.

232

I think it's a waste of time.

233

Again, it's up to you.

234

I would do what you're doing, which is just trying to be as clear as possible within your own accent.

235

That's your identity, you know.

236

So nothing wrong with it at all.

237

Also, don't do what a lot of Indian speakers do, which is speaking too quickly.

238

You don't speak too quickly.

239

someone will have quite a strong Indian accent and they will speak very quickly.

240

I think many of the languages in India, they speak them extremely quickly.

241

And then when they are talking in English, that translates there, but you don't have that problem.

242

So very, very strong.

243

So I'm going to get all your scores and create a nice PDF for you, put all your scores in there.

244

And if you want that, you can download it.

245

And I've also put all of the great vocabulary that she used, all the great grammar structures,

246

and 100 of the most used words for our band 7, 8, and 9 students, what they use.

247

pinned comment.

248

Any questions?

249

All good.

250

Thank you.

Thank you very much for this.

¿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.
