Pratique du Shadowing: Band 9.0 IELTS Practice Speaking Exam - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo

We're going to start off by talking about art and photography.

Do you like art?

That's interesting.

Depends on what.

I like cinema, for instance,

movies, music, but I don't know too much about paintings or modern art.

I'm not too familiar with, so it depends on what kind of art.

Do you like to take photographs?

Yes.

I wouldn't say the photographs are good.

But I do enjoy taking pictures.

Yeah.

Do you prefer to take photos of yourself or other things?

Of other things.

It's kind of hard to take pictures of yourself unless it's a selfie and that's limited.

So pictures of other things mostly.

Now let's talk about animals.

Do you like animals?

I love animals.

Land animals, friendly, so to speak, animals.

Not insects and not anything from the ocean.

What is your favorite animal?

Probably a dog.

Dogs, for obvious reasons, you can keep them as pets.

In terms of like non-domesticated animals, probably jaguars.

Do you have any animals in your home as pets?

Yes, I have two dogs.

They're both from the shelter, the animal shelter, the rescues.

Um, yeah, I've always had pets.

Our family really likes keeping animals around.

Now let's talk about bags.

What type of bags do you like?

I prefer purses that are a little bit on the larger side,

just because I like to put everything of my life in my purse.

Um, so it ends up weighing maybe 20 kilos.

Yeah, larger bags, probably structured larger bags.

How often do you carry a bag when you go out?

Every day.

I think that's the case for most women.

I think they carry a bag.

Even if you go down to the grocery or the supermarket, you take your bag with you usually, right?

What sort of bags do women like to buy?

It depends.

It depends on your outfit.

It depends on where you're going.

For the day, if you're going to the office, you probably want something bigger that can fit your laptop,

your phone, paperwork, everything that you might need during the day.

If it's nighttime, you'd want something smaller, like a clutch, something more sleek, elegant. So it depends.

If you're traveling, you'd want a much bigger bag that's able to fit.

Not just you, but all of your family's stuff as well. So everything.

Women like all kinds of bags.

That's why we have so many of them.

Now let's talk about birthdays.

What did you usually do on your birthday when you were a child?

So when I was a kid, when I was a child, in school, we had a uniform.

Everybody wore a uniform to school.

So when it was your birthday, it was the one day of the year that you were allowed to wear whatever you wanted.

So it was a big deal.

I mean, at least I would pick out my outfit like two months in advance.

It would be like a little dress, like a princessy frock, matching shoes, matching accessories for your hair.

And then you would take some kind of chocolate or candy to school.

And then you could take like a period off and go

and give the candy out to other teachers and other kids in the school.

And we looked forward to it every year every year it

was the highlight to get to not have to wear the uniform to wear whatever you wanted

and to basically be able to skip class and go out and hand out chocolates because it's your birthday

how do you normally celebrate your birthday now very differently everyone's allowed to wear whatever they want now

so it's kind of not that's not the same charm um

it depends i like to do a little dinner with my

friends something low-key i'm not a very big party person

so dinner is usually good um followed by probably like a games night

or a movies movie night at home

or at the cinema something low-key do you think it's important to give someone a card on their birthday Like a handwritten, like a birthday card?

I think so, yes.

Because I'm quite sentimental and emotional.

So I prefer more emotional, sentimental gifts.

So I think if someone takes the time to write something by hand for you, I think that, I mean, I hold on to stuff like that.

So I think it's a very nice, thoughtful present to give someone on their birthday.

The first time I met a new friend, so I'm going to go way back.

It was my first day of school, kindergarten.

and I met a girl named Amanpreet Kaj.

We were about, I think we just turned four years old.

We met obviously in kindergarten, first year of school.

What I liked about her when I first saw her, I mean, we were sitting together with the teacher who made us sit next to each other.

and she had this long hair and it was like sectioned into two parts

and it was just braided all the way down

and she had the cutest face I've ever seen she had

this little fluffy marshmallow like face I guess that's all it takes

when you're a kid to want to be friends with somebody

and then I tried to so there's like this little thing that kids do where they put their thumb out

to show other kids that I want to be your friend.

And then if you don't want to be friends with them, you do this.

It's like a silly little thing.

So I did this to her.

I put my thumb out to say, hey, do you want to be friends?

And she was like this.

And I was heartbroken.

I was like, how can she not want to be my friend?

And then I saw her again the next day and the day the next day after that and the day after that.

100

And then eventually we ended up becoming best friends.

101

She did it back to me, obviously, at some point.

102

She was my first best friend that I ever had in life.

103

She was from Punjab, which is a part of India.

104

And her mom used to make the most amazing, it's called paratha.

105

It's like this stuffed bread.

106

It's like they put potato and spices into a flatbread.

107

And my mom used to make something called Sita, which is sweet, semolina situation.

108

That's the end of the two minutes.

109

We've been talking about a friend that you met.

110

We're going to now talk about friends at school.

111

How important is it for children to have lots of friends at school?

112

What it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test and give you strategies for part one,

113

part two and part three and also allow you to practice at home for free and get feedback.

114

To sign up for that for free, all you have to do is just click the link in the description.

115

Thanks very much and let's get back to the video.

116

It depends, I would say.

117

I would perhaps think that quality is more important than quantity.

118

So I wouldn't say that the objective should be to make as many friends as you can

119

or to be popular as much as the objective should be to build meaningful friendships with people.

120

That could be one person, that could be five people, that could be ten people, situational, I would say.

121

Yeah, so it's not so much how many friends you have as it's not as important to have

122

a lot of friends as it might be to have people

123

that you can trust that you can kind of take with you in life for a longer term.

124

Do you think it is wrong for parents to choose which friends their children have?

125

Hmm.

126

Again, that's a tricky one.

127

Now when I answer these questions, I'm thinking back to real life situations.

128

And in some cases, I have seen parents interfering

129

and trying to make those decisions for their children where they were right to do

130

so because the child was in bad company and they were too naive or too...

131

I mean, I guess they were just too naive to see that that situation was not right for them.

132

But the parent obviously was able to identify that my child's in bad company.

133

So in those cases, I would say that your parents are able to read a dangerous situation better.

134

But there's also the flip side where everybody kind of does make bad decisions.

135

Your parents made bad decisions.

136

You made bad decisions and the way that you learn from them is to have a negative experience

137

and then find your way out of it.

138

So I would say that I can see certain situations, whether it's bad relationships, bad friendships when you're younger,

139

not relationships when you're younger, friendships when you're younger.

140

Sometimes it's necessary to have that experience so that you know firsthand how to deal with that situation.

141

And you may not be able to get that experience

142

if your parents always shield you from every single thing that can go wrong.

143

So I can kind of see, depends on the situation, I would say.

144

Now let's talk about making new friends.

145

Can you think of any disadvantages of making new friends online?

146

Disadvantages of making new friends online?

147

I think there's more disadvantages to making new friends.

148

I mean, there was a show recently that came out on Netflix called Tinder Swindler.

149

The thing is with most of what we see online isn't real, whether it's social media or even news for that matter.

150

Everything is kind of edited and monitored to present a certain kind of image.

151

So if you meet somebody online and you know nothing about them,

152

they can really present any version of reality or a completely...

153

curated, sometimes dishonest form of their reality to you.

154

So it's a very dangerous game to play.

155

Friendships or relationships?

156

Both.

157

Friendships.

158

Friendships.

159

Yeah.

160

Somebody you know nothing about is a very...

161

Everything can go wrong there, right?

162

Would you say it is harder for people to make new friends as they get older?

163

Yes.

164

I think it becomes harder for people to make friends as they get older.

165

I think adults are perhaps a little bit more structured.

166

I mean, the older that you get, the more set you get in your ways, your routine, where you work, your family, your gym.

167

children, for children, it becomes, it's very easy for children to interact with other children.

168

Like if you put two kids in a room and three seconds they're talking to each other without any restrictions, they're talking about all of their family secrets and everything, you know, they're comfortable.

169

But with adults, obviously, people tend to be more filtered when they interact with other adults.

170

Also, I think if you've been friends from the time that you were a child with somebody,

171

you've lived through so many life events together that

172

that kind of bond is hard to build with someone

173

that you meet in your mid 30s because you've just lost so much time that you're learning something.

174

You're learning about them from scratch, where they went to school, about their family, about their relationships, about their siblings.

175

So yeah, I think it's a, It's not impossible.

176

You can make a lot of incredible friendships later in life,

177

but it's probably harder to come by than if you were a kid in play school.

178

So what I'm going to do now is give you feedback on each part because each part is a little bit different.

179

Give you some tips on how to perform as well or even better next time.

180

And then there are four marking criteria, fluency and coherence, grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.

181

And I will give you a band for each of those and tell you what band.

182

The top is band nine.

183

So let's see if you can get right at the top.

184

So thank you for making it this far in the video.

185

I want to give you 10% off our VIP course.

186

191

If you have any questions about the VIP course, always feel free to get in touch with us answer a hundred percent of the questions

192

that we get hope that you become a vip

193

if not enjoy the rest of this free video

194

so part one it's just normal everyday questions

195

and you answered those very very naturally again it was like talking to a friend

196

or a colleague and the length of your answers was also quite good this is not a criticism

197

and it's just kind of who you are as a person

198

you're a very friendly chatty person who wants the other person to interact.

199

So you're often like, girls like buying bags, right?

200

That is fine in normal conversation.

201

If you were to do the test for real, the examiner could be quite stone-faced because they're doing their job.

202

They're not being unfriendly.

203

They just have a job to do

204

and they're trying to think about your grammar and your vocabulary

205

and your pronunciation and your fluency and there's a lot going on there for them they cannot start to interact with you.

206

And on test day you might not get a very friendly examiner like me.

207

I don't know whether I was friendly or not.

208

But they might be like, you know, don't do that.

209

Or some of them could be having a bad day and they just don't ask questions.

210

Now I have experienced, not myself, but other students have said when they did When they did that, they thought the examiner was criticizing them or being rude.

211

They took that to heart and thought, oh my god, I failed my test.

212

And they went from doing very, very well to everything fell apart.

213

Because if you feel nervous, you feel uncomfortable with someone, then it really affects your fluency,

214

you can climb up, you don't want to really show your language and who you are you don't want to,

215

because one of the great advantages or great strengths

216

that you have is you're very open about who you are as a person.

217

And that's great because it allows you to speak in a very fluent way.

218

If you go and do the test for real, probably don't interact with the examiner as much.

219

Part two, you did a great job because you just picked a real event, a real person from your life.

220

And it's much easier to talk about that.

221

Some students try to pick something high level or impressive to impress the examiner.

222

There's no such thing.

223

The best thing to do is pick something from your real life because that's easy to talk about.

224

Part three, you did very, very well because you really extended your answers.

225

Again, you used real situations from your own life.

226

You don't have to do that, but it really did help you develop your answers.

227

In terms of the scores, pronunciation is pretty much perfect.

228

The examiner will be thinking about, can I understand every word this person is saying?

229

100%.

230

I can understand every syllable.

231

Then the examiner will be thinking about high-level pronunciation features, such as your intonation.

232

So our voices go up, our voices go down.

233

You speak like a native English speaker in that respect.

234

Sentence stress is when we emphasize certain words.

235

This is my phone, not your phone.

236

So you emphasize certain words at times again you do that 100% naturally and then you use connected speech.

237

The way native English speakers talk we wouldn't say I want to talk about my friend.

238

You'd say I want to talk about my friend.

239

The flow of the language so absolutely perfect no problems there.

240

Coherence and fluency.

241

Coherence is did you answer the questions?

242

Did you develop them enough?

243

You did that 100% of the time.

244

And And then fluency is, did you speak without any unnatural pausing?

245

You did pause at times, but the reason why you paused is important.

246

So in the last, I think it was the second last question, you were talking about adults and you were saying their lives are more structured.

247

So you weren't trying to think of the correct vocabulary because your English isn't good enough.

248

You were trying to just formulate your thoughts and come up with the appropriate, precise word, you did.

249

So that demonstrates to the examiner that you have a very high level of vocabulary, because if you were, because you're trying to think of the correct word,

250

what's the word, so when people don't really know the language, then they would stop.

251

And also because you approach this not as a test, but more as a conversation,

252

and you are very open and talk about your life in a very open way, that really helps with fluency.

253

So again, top marks for fluency and coherence.

254

Grammar, I didn't hear a single grammar mistake.

255

The examiner will be thinking about the accuracy of your grammar, did you make any mistakes, and the range of your grammar.

256

So if I talk to you about a birthday party in the past, did you use the appropriate past tenses?

257

And then I asked you about what do you do today?

258

Did you switch tenses?

259

Did you use the appropriate grammatical structures and tenses to talk about each situation?

260

And again, you did that perfectly.

261

Vocabulary, very natural.

262

So you use a nice mixture of just normal everyday words, which everybody uses.

263

And you also use idiomatic language very, very well.

264

So as you can see, you're using very natural English.

265

And overall, you would get a perfect band line, which is very rare.

266

Oh, wow.

267

Very, very rare.

268

Okay.

269

Well done.

270

Thank you.

271

Thank you.

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.
