Aptis Speaking Practice  Test One Sample B1 Answers.
2
I'm going to ask you three  short questions about yourself and your interests. You will have 30  seconds to reply to each question.
3
Begin speaking when you hear this sound  (BEEP) Please tell me about your hobbies.
4
I've always loved reading especially  fantasy books like the Lord of the Rings.
5
I've read all the Harry Potter books too.
6
I also play tennis in a local club every Wednesday  and Saturday. I've won several tournaments and I'm playing in a match this weekend I love all  sports and I think I'll try basketball next year.
7
Please tell me about your last holiday.
8
Ooooh it was great. We went to the coast for  two weeks and stayed at the best hotel I've ever been to we were very lucky  because the weather was fantastic.
9
I spent the day with my friends on the beach  swimming and playing beach volleyball. In the evenings we went out to eat at local restaurants  and then went for a walk along the coast.
10
Please tell me about your favorite actor. I think  it's Leonardo DiCaprio, he's a brilliant actor and he's very good-looking too. He started acting  when he was very young, I think he was about 10 years old. He's acted in many different parts  in very different films and he's always good.
11
I've seen Titanic four times and I cry every  time but I didn't understand Inception.
12
in this part, I'm going to ask you to  describe what is happening in a picture. Then I will ask you two questions about it you  will have 45 seconds for each response.
13
Begin speaking when you hear this sound (BEEP)  Make sure you answer as fully as possible.
14
Describe this picture this photo. It shows  a classroom and I think the children are learning Spanish because there's a calendar on  the wall with the days in English and Spanish.
15
It's probably a primary school because the  children are about four or five years old they're all sitting on the floor  and listening to the teacher there are lots of toys and books on shelves in  the classroom and all the colors are very bright.
16
What is a typical school day for  most students in your country?
17
Most students start school at about nine o'clock.  They do two or three classes then it's time for a break when they can have a snack or a second  breakfast. Then they do some more classes and usually finish school at about 2 30. Some  students have their lunch at school and others go home to eat. There are often sports or dance  or other fun activities in the afternoons too.
18
How have schools changed since you were a child?
19
In my opinion, teachers were stricter when  I was at school. We never sat on the floor we sat at desks and the classroom was more  formal. Students have less homework now and school subjects have changed too. Now children  learn about technology and often have tablets or computers there weren't many computers  at my school we nearly always used books.
20
in this part, I'm going to ask you to  compare two pictures and I will then ask you two questions about them. You will  have 45 seconds for each response, begin speaking when you hear this sound (BEEP)  Tell me what you see in these two pictures.
21
Well in the first photo you can see a market where  you can buy lots of things, fruit and vegetables and there are melons, pears, tomatoes also  clothes, shoes hats. There's a man selling fruit and a mother with her child. I think it's in  Europe because the price is in euros. The second photo shows a shopping center you can see a lot  of clothes shops and there are people shopping.
22
Why do people choose to shop  in each of these places?
23
I think people choose markets for food because the  fruit and vegetables are fresh and often cheaper too but supermarkets are easier and quicker.  People go to shopping centers because they can buy everything there and parking is easy. There's  a better variety of shops and more clothes to buy and when the weather's bad  it's better to be indoors.
24
Which place do you prefer to shop? Why?
25
Well, I prefer shopping malls because they're  good places to go with my friends. It's not only the shops you can also have an ice cream,  a coffee or an ice cream and hang out together.
26
It's easy too because all the shops are there  and I think it's safer than shopping in markets, but I don't really like doing my shopping in very big supermarkets because there are  always too many people waiting to pay.
27
In this part I'm going to show you a picture and  ask you three questions. You will have one minute to think about your answers before you start  speaking. You will have two minutes to answer all three questions. Begin speaking when you  hear this sound (BEEP) Look at the photograph tell me about the time when you had to  wear something different or special.
28
How did you feel about it? Do you think  fashion has too much importance in our lives?
29
You now have one minute to think about your  answers you can take notes if you want.
30
You now have two minutes to talk. I had to wear a  special dress when I went to my friend's wedding because I was one of the bridesmaids. The  dress was long and green and very beautiful, it was expensive too and I had to pay  for it! I felt strange because I usually wear jeans and t-shirts so I didn't feel very  comfortable but the wedding photos were good.
31
Sometimes I think fashion is too important in our  lives, everyone wants to dress like famous people and they spend a lot of money on clothes. People  read fashion magazines and want to copy the models but most of the clothes they advertise  are too expensive for normal people.
32
I think that can be a big problem for young  people because they don't have much money.
33
I like fashion but I wear clothes because  I like them and because they're comfortable not because they're fashionable. In  my opinion that's more important.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
