1
My name is Emily and I'm from Australia and I'm 32.
2
Do you have any idea what IELTS is?
3
No, I had not heard of it before today.
4
IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System
5
and a lot of Vietnamese people need to take the IELTS if they want to study or work abroad.
6
So I'll look at my phone to see the questions.
7
Let's start with the topic of happiness.
8
Okay.
9
So is it easy to make you happy?
10
Is it easy for me to be happy?
11
Yes, because I think if you look around your own life,
12
you will see things that you can appreciate.
13
And if you focus on those things,
14
there's always a reason to be happy.
15
What do you do when you are happy?
16
When I'm happy, I'm usually with my friends and family.
17
So spending quality time with the people who I love,
18
eating and drinking, that's when I'm happy.
19
And it makes me happy too.
20
What makes you unhappy?
21
Stress makes me unhappy when I feel overwhelmed with what's going on in my life
22
and I feel like I can't handle it on my own
23
that makes me unhappy because I feel stuck and I'm not sure where to go next.
24
So let's move on and talk about stars and planets.
25
Okay.
26
So did you learn about outer space and stars at school?
27
Yes but not in high school
28
because I didn't choose science subjects in primary school we did that's the extent of my knowledge
29
and do you think it's important to study about the stars?
30
I think it's interesting importance I'm not sure I'm not really a science person so I haven't found it necessary
31
but I think it's very interesting.
32
Alright, so let's move on and talk about a topic in part 2.
33
So in this part, you are going to describe a topic in 2 minutes.
34
And in the exam room,
35
you have 1 minute to prepare,
36
but we are going to skip that part.
37
And after that, you will be able to do a topic in two minutes.
38
Alright?
39
And in the exam room you have one minute to prepare,
40
but we are gonna skip that part.
41
Okay.
42
Alright?
43
And after that you will have to answer some questions related to that topic.
44
Okay.
45
Okay.
46
So the topic is about describe something that you can't live without,
47
not a computer or phone.
48
You should say what it is,
49
what you do with it,
50
how it helps you in your life and explain why you can't live without it.
51
That's great.
52
Okay.
53
So I'm gonna give you some time to think about it.
54
Okay.
55
Okay.
56
Does it have to be a physical object or just something?
57
Just something.
58
Okay.
59
All right.
60
Anything.
61
Ready.
62
Okay.
63
Very good.
64
And your time starts now.
65
Okay.
66
I can't live without human connection.
67
When I'm by myself for too long,
68
I get inside my own head,
69
I stress too much, I worry and human connection is good for me because it reminds me that I'm loved,
70
I'm important, I have something to say and
71
if I am worried talking it out with somebody else can really help me process it
72
and move forward and I even said before my happiest moments are with my friends
73
and with my family and so that human connection to me is what grounds me,
74
It keeps me going day to day and it builds my view of myself.
75
Has it been two minutes yet?
76
Just pause in five seconds.
77
Oh no!
78
You're a sophomore.
79
Okay, so for example, I'm here on holiday with my husband, Elliot.
80
And if I was here on my own,
81
sure, that would be beautiful things to see and I could appreciate it by myself.
82
but there's nothing like having someone with you to look together
83
and say whoa that's amazing what did you think of that
84
and being able to process all of those experiences with somebody
85
else rather than with yourself otherwise I would just be taking photos alone
86
and then sitting there thinking oh okay that was good
87
so having that connection with someone it helps me measure what I'm going through is this am I overreacting
88
or am I underreacting is this an okay emotional response it just keeps me even
89
and I know I'm progressing okay
90
and it's still not two minutes okay lastly lastly I'll say even in my work
91
so I'm a teacher and with my colleagues planning for classes marking work
92
that would be so so so hard to do on my own
93
and so having that assistance and supporting each other's strengths that's another way
94
that human connection is something I can't live without excellent I would have to say
95
that the way you express your thought is
96
so beautiful oh thank you thank you
97
that was harder than I thought to speak for two minutes I am a teacher
98
so I'm in front of students talking every day.
99
I'm often just talking whatever comes to mind.
100
Okay, so let's move on to part three.
101
Sure.
102
Alright, so why are children attracted to new things such as electronics?
103
I think children are curious about everything.
104
They don't have these already set or preconceived ideas about what's good and what's bad.
105
They just want to try things that are new,
106
especially things that are stimulating
107
for the mind and
108
so i think that's why they go straight there excellent why
109
do some grown-ups hate to throw out old things such as
110
clothes oh i think as we get older i'm not
111
that old yet
112
but as we get older perhaps those things are a reminder of our past a reminder of our youth
113
and so by holding on to those things maybe we think
114
that we're still holding on to that time in our life or we don't want to forget it,
115
so we keep those objects that remind us of that time rather than truly moving on.
116
We like to take those little bits of the past with us.
117
Usually I will stop here but i want to hear more from you
118
so that's more is the way people buy things affected now it's sorry say
119
that again is the way people buy things affected
120
and how affected yes affected how we consume things how we buy things affected by some factors nowadays
121
and how um oh i'm not really sure how to answer
122
that what would you say can you give me an example
123
of your answer I'm not sure I understand for example in the past we just bought what we really need
124
because we don't have that much money right yeah
125
but nowadays there are so many advertisements
126
and as well as the bank lend you the money yes
127
okay I completely agree I think well especially where where I'm from
128
and it's probably the same here as well um seeing all the time you know online
129
or through social media what other people are are having it
130
leads to this normalization of what everybody should be having
131
and I see it in my students all the time as well you know they're very young
132
but they really really want to have expensive sneakers and expensive clothes
133
and I'm thinking oh there's actually there's no need for that
134
but they think that's very normal because everybody everyone else they see online has
135
that but then we're all just telling each other that same lie
136
and so now we all have to have expensive sneakers
137
so I think that's yeah a way
138
that consumerism probably didn't exist 50 years ago
139
but it's very strong now last question what do you think influences people to buy new things oh
140
um okay I actually think one interesting reason is uh people are bored um
141
and so they get bored with the things that they already have
142
and so it just stimulates them for another few weeks to have something new
143
and they feel like it's something to talk about until they get bored again
144
and then they buy something else excellent answer
145
that is the answer the last question and uh thank you
146
so much for your time oh thank you
147
so much it was lovely to meet you your answers are so good oh thanks

¿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.
