1
Let's talk about friends.
2
Do you have lots of friends?
3
I do have quite a few friends.
4
I feel like I have more acquaintances than friends.
5
The people who I really care about,
6
I think I can definitely count them on my fingers.
7
Who is your best friend and why?
8
I don't know how to answer this question because if I say any one person,
9
the others are going to come after me.
10
And also I don't have just one best friend.
11
I have maybe three or four.
12
very good friends who I look to for help,
13
counselling, advice and I treasure them.
14
I really appreciate each and every one of them for different reasons.
15
Are you the type of person that makes friends easily?
16
It's really interesting because in a new environment I can be rather closed off.
17
I've had people tell me actually you're very nice you know once they get to know me
18
but I kind of am a bit more of an observer not
19
that I'm not willing to socialize with people
20
but I kind of like to suss out my environment before I say anything in case I offend anybody.
21
Now let's talk about flowers.
22
Have you ever given anybody flowers?
23
I give people flowers all the time.
24
I think it's really lovely to receive a bouquet of flowers.
25
What's funny is that I'm not such a,
26
not that I'm not a big fan of receiving flowers,
27
but I'm not really bothered about receiving flowers.
28
Is it popular to give flowers in your country?
29
Yes, but I think we have to avoid white flowers because they use white flowers at funerals.
30
I'm not sure if I'm getting this right,
31
but I think there are certain colors that we need to avoid.
32
What kind of flowers do you like to receive?
33
I don't like cliches, so I don't like red roses.
34
I love sunflowers, I like daisies,
35
anything that's bright and happy and cheerful and not particularly extravagant or out there.
36
Now let's talk about food.
37
Do you enjoy cooking?
38
Oh, I love cooking.
39
I have tried to improve my cooking skills during the past year or two.
40
I would say I was successful.
41
So I've tried my hand at quiches and Thai food.
42
I love Thai food.
43
I love the flavours.
44
The turmeric and the lemongrass,
45
it's very, I think, distinctive.
46
Oh, I've tried baking as well.
47
I still cannot get my whipped cream to stiffen.
48
It melts a bit, but we'll see.
49
Let's see how we can fix that.
50
What are the most popular dishes in your country?
51
In Taiwan, we love to promote our stinky tofu.
52
It smells absolutely horrendous, but people tend to like stinky tofu.
53
They prefer the fried version to the,
54
I don't know if they boil it,
55
but they prefer it fried.
56
They say it tastes, it tastes best,
57
but I can't get over the smell.
58
Other things we do really well,
59
bubble tea came from Taiwan.
60
That's a huge trend around the world.
61
And we have our own version of fried chicken, which I really love.
62
It's very good.
63
Let's talk about noise.
64
Are you comfortable with loud noises?
65
No. In general, no. So construction sites are understandable,
66
angry shouting people not so understandable.
67
So I think it depends if it's a construction site next to your office and you have to be at the office.
68
I can tolerate it.
69
But if it's someone just being a bit extra,
70
then maybe we'll skip that.
71
What type of noises do you come across during your daily routine?
72
Types of noises, everyday noises.
73
I think a lot of the noises that we hear every day can be quite familiar and homey,
74
such as the toaster going off or an egg sizzling in a pan.
75
They're quite random, but they can be quite, like I said, comforting.
76
Describe a tourist attraction that you would recommend.
77
So I highly recommend CMREB.
78
It's these beautifully preserved temples in the middle of the Cambodian jungle and it is a UNESCO heritage site.
79
But apart from that one of the temples also appeared in Tomb Raider.
80
It's the Tomb Raider film with Angelina Jolie because I know that they got another actress to fill that role
81
recently actually you'll remember there's a scene where she's in the temple
82
and there's a buddha head that's kind of like buried in in a tree trunk people tend to remember
83
that temple for that reason and so they go to visit this temple
84
when they're in Siem Reb in general I love Cambodia It was the first trip that I felt really connected to.
85
Prior to that, I'd been to Europe,
86
and I was in Paris, Luxembourg, Spain.
87
I did this whole trip because I was on exchange.
88
Europe is beautiful.
89
Europe is very beautiful, but I felt a special connection with Cambodia and I would definitely go back.
90
So apart from Siem Reap,
91
I would recommend Phnom Penh as well,
92
but definitely if you have to go to Cambodia,
93
you cannot miss Siem Reap.
94
There's this eerily beautiful vibe or energy about the place that I really enjoy.
95
It's very peaceful and very quiet.
96
So we've been talking about a tourist attraction that you would recommend.
97
Let's continue to talk about museums and art galleries and the holiday industry.
98
Do you believe that all museums and art galleries should be free?
99

all you have to do is just click the link in the description.
105
Thanks very much and let's get back to the video.
106
So I would say my first instinct is to say that yes,
107
I believe that art galleries and museums should be free
108
because what's inside them all the artifacts and historical paintings
109
and books and whatnot they belong to the people they belong to the human race however i also understand
110
that upkeep is expensive maintenance is also very costly so i think maybe charging a small fee
111
is very reasonable.
112
I like what they've done in France,
113
especially, because they allow people to go to museums for free every first Sunday,
114
I believe, of the month, something like that.
115
What kind of things make a museum or art gallery an interesting place to visit?
116
I would say it would depend really on the person because what I find interesting
117
might not be very interesting for somebody else.
118
What I find interesting, I would say mostly,
119
I like Salvatore Dali and René Magritte.
120
So I like a lot of surrealist painters,
121
if we're talking about art.
122
But I also do enjoy,
123
oh, I really like the National,
124
is it the British History Museum?
125
Yeah, in London, that one was really nice.
126
Now let's talk about the holiday industry.
127
Why do you think some people book package holidays rather than traveling independently?
128
Thank you for making it this far in the video.
129
I want to give you 10% off our VIP course.
130
IELTS VIP course is the most successful IELTS course in the world.
131

132
eight and nine success stories than any other IELTS course in the entire world.

140
Hope that you become a VIP.
141
If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.
142
I think some people do so because they don't really like the planning aspect of it perhaps.
143
I'm someone who really enjoys traveling independently.
144
The only time I did travel with a group was
145
when we went to Egypt because there are some tourist attractions
146
that you cannot access if you're not with a tour guide
147
that was the only time we ever traveled with a group
148
of people perhaps I think senior citizens they might enjoy traveling
149
in a group it would make things more interesting as well
150
are there any negative impacts of large numbers of tourists visiting an area
151
when I used to live in Paris I felt the negative impacts quite intensely there's a lot more traffic.
152
There's a lot more, how would I put it, hubbub.
153
Lots of crowds, it's very chaotic,
154
it can get very messy, people are shouting.
155
But I think in general the pros outweigh the cons,
156
because for countries such as France,
157
they depend strongly on tourism for a large part of the country's income, the GDP.
158
So, I don't know.
159
I like tourists, for the most part, why not?
160
That's the end of the speaking test.
161
Well done.
162
Thank you.

¿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.
