Let's start off by talking about work and studies.

Do you work or do you study?

Currently I just graduated so I'm in between things but yeah I'm finding work at this point.

Where would you like to find some work?

Ideally in Mumbai.

I'm really interested in like the startup industry.

There are some startups that I'm looking to work with as in the moment right now

so that's just what like this next chapter holds for me.

In 10 years time what career would you like to have?

Good question.

I really feel strongly about philanthropy and education specifically.

So I imagine myself living in between like different places in India,

pursuing this like philanthropic educational work.

What did you want to be when you were a little girl?

So many things.

You know, it's kind of like, I don't know, I couldn't choose.

I think every day it was something different.

I would watch like a really fun TV show and for example, suits and be like, oh, I'm going to be a lawyer.

And I was convinced.

And then I would watch a really fun movie like Devil Wears Prada and I wanted to be a fashion designer.

So it was many different things when I was younger.

Now let's talk about reading.

Did you have a favorite book when you were a child?

So I don't know if it's necessarily my favorite, but there was this book called The Secret Garden

that I remember reading in my class in the fourth grade

and I'm categorizing it as my favorite book

because it just meant a lot to me

because there was really nice descriptions about like the scenery and that really got me into reading.

So I think for the heartwarming purpose it's definitely my favorite book

when I was younger but it's just the book that started my love for reading in general.

Did you do a lot of reading when you were at university?

I did a lot of reading, too much reading.

I did a lot of reading that was more literary works and it made me realize, oh, I don't like it.

I don't like them.

I'm also not a fan of novels, but what I am a fan of is more fiction or self-help kind of books,

especially that I'm getting older and I want to incorporate habits into my life.

Are there any books you would recommend to people?

There's this book I read called Daisy Jones and the Sixth.

And it was just a really fun book.

It was the book I read recently.

And I think people who are into fiction and like music would really love that book.

It was adapted into a series after.

So definitely recommend that one.

Now let's talk about drinks.

In your country, what do people normally drink with dinner?

Okay, there's so many options.

Particularly in my family, we have a weird mix of things.

But in my country, we usually have like masala chai or we have normal sodas, but we put some masala in it,

which is like some spice to kind of give it that extra like kick.

So that's really common

but in my family we put like for example coke we put a little bit of vanilla ice cream

and i think it also has to do with like different places in india also have this

but in my family it's stable yeah do you drink a lot of water every day yes i do

and it's because when i don't i can feel the like adverse effects immediately

so i make sure i drink water every single day

but it's so hard

because like in the hurry of everything you just forget do you prefer drinking tea

or coffee okay

so i have i have phases in my life like sometimes coffee just tastes too good

but i'm really caffeine sensitive i've realized this after having very like jittery episodes

so if i have coffee it's a decaf but i really love tea for like different purposes so like

chamomile before sleeping or green tea to detox.

If I visited your home, what would you or your parents or your family offer me to drink?

Definitely tea.

I think it's also like culturally, like we're more accustomed to being like, can I get you some tea?

So definitely tea, but also like coffee is always available if you want.

But such a special request.

Now let's talk about the weekend.

What do you normally do on the weekend?

So I think it depends on how the week has gone.

If it's a good week, you know, weekend can go any which way.

But I think a very crucial point or part of my routine is like cold plunging or sauna.

I really try and prioritize that because it helps like my anxiety fade away.

I really love exercising.

That's a crucial part as well.

And just meeting friends and family.

I think I carve out time specifically for that because the weekdays can get so busy.

How often do you have a lazy weekend?

Very often.

Like most mornings are like they begin very lazily.

And when it comes to lazy weekends, I don't really thrive on lazy weekends because then I kind of fall into like a rut.

So I try to be lazy enough, but not too lazy.

Do you think that your weekend schedule will change as you grow older?

I definitely think so.

I think that the more I'm using a lot of energy during the week

and maybe doing tasks that don't give me energy, that are more draining, I will need time to recuperate like during the weekends.

So the more I'm a little bit forced to do things I'm not particularly happy about, I think, the more lazy weekends I need.

The last time I had to do something in a hurry was quite recently.

I think around a month ago, I moved in, I moved out of where I was living and it was in a different country.

So what that meant is I had to pack my whole life into two suitcases since I was moving back home.

And the reason it was all left to the last minute was

because I had just went on a trip with my boyfriend to Mexico.

So I had around a week, once I came back from that trip, to pack up everything, to arrange where all my mattresses would go,

where my couch would go, and get rid of everything.

And it was quite an anxiety-inducing experience for me because I'm a very like organized person,

even though this doesn't seem like it, but I really am.

And so when I had to kind of gather everything, it felt very last minute, even though I had a week.

And I think till the last hour, I had to leave, like to go to the airport.

I was packing things up.

100

But thankfully, I had a really group, like a really good group of friends that were with me blasting music,

101

Helping me pack made it like a really fun, enjoyable experience.

102

And I think that really helped also get some momentum to pack.

103

Otherwise, I was feeling really lazy about it.

104

And I think even after I left, I left some things behind.

105

But my friends went back to my apartment, helped me get rid of it.

106

So it was definitely a team effort.

107

It takes a village.

108

We've been discussing an occasion when you had to do something in a hurry and we're going to talk about time management, arriving late, managing time, things like that.

109

Do you think it's acceptable to arrive late when meeting a friend?

110

I thought about this question a lot because I feel like I've been victim to this situation a lot of the times.

111

I think it depends on how much it happens with the same person.

112

But I think there's obviously some unforeseen circumstances that can arise.

113

I would say that if you can't avoid it

114

because time is really limited and you want to kind of extend respect to your friend, show them, you know, I care about your time.

115

So it's always best to, I personally think, try and arrive on time.

116

Should there be any negative consequences for people who arrive late for work?

117

Again, it kind of, what I said before, bleeds into this answer a little bit, because I think it's depending on how recurring is your situation.

118

If there's a certain circumstance that happens every morning, maybe you're a parent that has to take care of your child,

119

then I think the company should allow for this situation to happen and not give such extreme consequences.

120

I think they should be more accepting and understanding.

121

But I think if it's just because you've been waking up late, for companies, even though I would personally, I would be like, it's OK.

122

I think time is money, especially nowadays in this corporate capitalistic world.

123

So unfortunately, it makes sense for companies to reprimand, but I would say not too much.

124

Now let's talk about managing study time.

125

Do you think it's better to study for long periods of time or break up study time into shorter chunks?

126

I would say shorter chunks.

127

I'm also saying this understanding the era we are in now

128

where short from media has also influenced like how we consume information and what works best for us.

129

So I think more than what should people do, it's what I feel would be most productive for them.

130

And I think that maybe like having little breaks in between can be like kind of motivation.

131

OK, let me finish this chapter and then I'll have like a chocolate.

132

So I think that would be really good.

133

Do you think that students should incorporate leisure time into their study time?

134

I think so.

135

I recently went to this like virtual VR experience where I was learning about the Titanic by like a VR headset.

136

And so I found it like a really fun experience.

137

It was date night for me, but I learned so much.

138

and my first thought after that experience was I can have fun

139

and learn and I felt like my mom like being like you can have fun

140

and learn but I think that they both can go hand in hand

141

especially nowadays because there's

142

so many different things available for you to really expand how you like consume information

143

so yeah I think so well done that's the end of part three

144

and the end of the speaking test how did you feel about

145

that so nice I love it yeah I think it was no problem for you.

146

As you probably heard, that was a very high level response.

147

What I've done is I put her whole transcript into a PDF for you and I've highlighted all the great expressions,

148

idiomatic language, grammar structures, vocabulary for you so you can learn from those very high level answers.

¿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.
