Let's start off by talking about drinks.

What's your favorite drink?

My favorite drink would be coffee.

Every morning that I wake up,

I have to have my coffee first before I even eat my breakfast,

which is not very healthy,

I know, but I prefer that way.

Are there any drinks you drink in the summertime to cool down?

Yes, I do, actually.

I have a favorite.

It's called Barbican.

I've also tried this other drink, which is called Freeze.

It's a brand that I've recently explored and it has less sugar

so that's beneficial and I also like drinking fresh lime juice or juices in general because they are healthier options.

What's the healthiest drink that you like to drink?

Smoothies.

I love bringing leafy greens in general and putting them together.

A great example of that would be spinach,

kale, throw in some flax seeds in there and a spoonful of honey,

organic honey obviously, and maybe with a fruit and then mix it all up and it's a very

good option if you're into health.

Now let's talk about staying healthy.

What do you do to stay healthy?

I make sure that I have a proper diet.

I make sure to include protein in my meals.

And I also try to eat clean,

green food, leafy greens, vegetables.

I gravitate naturally towards vegetarian food because that's my personal choice and my personal opinion that I feel like

if you were to eat animals,

for example, it's not the healthiest options.

And I could go on and on about that,

but I'm sure not everyone agrees.

I also try to include lots of nuts and exercise.

You have to get your workout in.

It's a must.

How often do you exercise?

Every day.

I exercise for about an hour and a half.

Even on days that I don't feel that motivated,

I try to walk it out or get on the treadmill for a bit.

Or I could do some basic yoga poses with my mom and that makes me feel less guilty about skipping my workout.

In your country, what's the most popular way to keep fit?

I feel like a lot of people in my country prefer walking.

That's something that brings people together in a way as well.

Friends decide to meet up for a walk for example

or older women or older men in general they prefer meeting up for an evening walk or a morning walk.

So I think walking is one of the things that we like to do a lot.

Now let's talk about cooking.

Do you like to cook or do you like to eat out?

I love cooking but I also like to eat out.

However if I had to I would pick cooking because I feel like it's an outlet for me and it's very therapeutic.

I like creating something with my own hands and it gives me a sense of joy.

And I also love feeding people.

So I love cooking for my friends or for my family

or if there is something specific that they crave or that they love,

I love to be the one who's cooking it for them.

Did you learn to cook when you were a child?

Before we continue, I have a gift for you.

I've analyzed hundreds of band 9 transcripts from our successful VIP students

and I've put the 100 most used words into a PDF for you.

If you want that, go to the description or the pinned comment.

You can download it for free.

I wouldn't say so.

I started cooking when I turned 18 or 19

or probably 17 I can't recollect but it was a passion

that I found out I had after I used to be

because I used to be really interested when my parents were cooking

and I would always want to know how to do the next step

and then I started watching cooking videos online

and then I caught myself watching cooking shows and that's when I knew I really love cooking.

Are there any cuisines that you would like to learn how to cook in the future?

I would love to learn how to cook Arabic food.

I feel like their food is so flavorful

but their way of cooking is a bit different than the way we cook in India and it's simpler.

So I would like to know their thought process

and how they cook their meats for example

or how they blanch their vegetables or how they put together a meal in one

because it's usually layers it's at least the food

that I like it's usually in layers

so I would learn I would like to learn the technique

that they use for that

if someone from a different country was visiting your home what would you cook them

that would give them a good idea of food and cuisine from your local area?

Okay so I would cook butter chicken for them.

I'd like to think that I cook really good butter chicken after all the compliments that I've gotten.

And I love to eat it as well.

I mean imagine I would create that meal with my own hands

and then share the joy with every single person in the room and that feeling is unexplainable.

Last month I got myself a bookshelf and I got it online.

I was a bit hesitant before I got it

because I just had my doubts if whether or not it would be the perfect bookcase.

However it turned out to be something I really adore in my room.

I wanted to sort of make my own mini library because I love reading books.

And I had a bookshelf before this,

but it was smaller and I wanted to expand since I have more books now.

And it's something that brings me a lot of joy.

And in my free time,

I like just browsing through my bookcase and seeing which book I'd like to pick.

So I've categorized everything this time.

100

And it's just something that brings me so much joy.

101

I chose this particular thing because I feel like even when I will grow older,

102

I feel like I can always share this joy with other people.

103

And they're also going to be intrigued when they come over to see what books I have.

104

And it sort of also gives an insight to my personality

105

and the things that I like or dislike and the things that I like to learn about.

106

And I would also get to know them better by the book choices they make.

107

It's just how my thought process works.

108

That's the end of part two.

109

And we're going to move on to part three now.

110

So we've been talking about something you bought for your home.

111

We're going to continue to talk about creating a nice home.

112

Why do some people love buying lots of things for their home?

113

I feel like every single time that they see something new,

114

they instantly want to have it.

115

And it ends up at home.

116

And some of the times you grow out of it.

117

But you still have an emotional connection to whatever it is that you bought.

118

And it just ends up there or gets passed on.

119

And I think that's why people buy a lot of things.

120

Sometimes they don't even need that much stuff.

121

Do you need to spend a lot of money on a home to make it look nice?

122

No, I don't think so.

123

Nowadays, people are a lot more into recycling and doing things themselves.

124

So what I mean is they like to DIY things at home.

125

And I'm a big supporter of that.

126

I believe we should do that often because there are

127

so many things that end up in the wastelands

128

that are not even supposed to be there and that can be reused and for years, honestly.

129

So to answer your question,

130

I feel like you don't need to spend a lot of money.

131

You can DIY stuff or you can thrift even, I believe.

132

Why do some people not care at all about how their home looks?

133

I feel like it has a lot to do with how they're feeling emotionally, internally.

134

It doesn't have much to do with their home,

135

But it's just that they lack motivation to get up and to tidy up their space.

136

And it can happen to the best of us.

137

I also feel like sometimes you need the right motivation to get up and make your space feel like home.

138

because sometimes people don't feel like they belong internally because they're going through things.

139

So even a home doesn't feel like a home for them

140

and hence I feel like they don't really put in much effort.

141

Now let's talk about different types of homes.

142

Do you think it's better to live in an apartment or a house?

143

It depends where

144

you're located i have lived in an apartment

145

and i've also lived in a home both were really really

146

nice um apartments feel a bit shared however home feels like this is your space

147

and your family's space that's how i felt um growing up we lived in a home back in my country

148

and it felt like

149

okay this these four walls are like our thing this is where this is our house

150

but in apartments like you have to make sure

151

that you're careful about everything you're doing

152

because you live with a lot of other people in the

153

same building how do you think homes will change in the

154

future as i can see from now buildings are growing everywhere so i feel like a lot more apartments

155

are available compared to back in the days.

156

And a lot of homes are available as well.

157

So I feel like it's a 50-50,

158

but I would still lean more towards buildings.

159

I feel a lot of buildings are being constructed lately than they used to back in the days.

160

Do you agree that the type of home that people prefer changes as they get older?

161

Yes, I do agree.

162

For me, at least, I live in an apartment now,

163

but when I grow older,

164

I would love to have my own home.

165

I would love to see my kids grow up there and I would love to have my own little patio.

166

I'd love to have my,

167

like I said, like own little things.

168

It's just a mental thing.

169

One thing I want to talk about with you is everybody has different personalities

170

and everyone has different strengths and weaknesses one thing

171

that I've noticed with you is you really shine

172

when you can relate things to feelings

173

and emotions I'm the opposite I can't talk about feelings

174

and emotions so

175

if you ask me to do it I don't think I would get a bad line I'm very analytical

176

and I'm good at discussing stories and examples

177

and things like that's how I relate to the world

178

but for you every time you talk about emotions you shine you're able to be really fluent

179

and you can really dig deep into that topic

180

So anytime you are doing the test and you feel a little bit stuck,

181

try and move the conversation towards maybe not even how you feel,

182

but how other people feel when you're discussing a part three questions,

183

you do talk about your other people's feelings a lot and you tend to find out much, much easier.

184

I just find it really interesting that different students can more easily talk about different things.

185

And for you, that's, do you feel that way?

186

Yeah, I do.

187

You do feel that way.

188

I agree.

189

I agree.

190

Thank you, Chris.

¿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.
