1
Good morning.
2
My name is Bridget Harrison and this is my colleague Mary Whiteside.
3
And your names are?
4
Raphael.
5
Raphael?
6
Maud.
7
Maud.
8
Can I have your mark sheets please?
9
Thank you.
10
First of all, we'd like to know something about you.
11
Raphael, where are you from?
12
I'm from Lucerne, it's a city in Switzerland, and it's in the German part.
13
And what do you do there?
14
I'm still at school and I have two years to go.
15
Maud, how long have you been studying English?
16
Well, I think I've been studying English for about six years now, yes.
17
What do you enjoy most about learning English?
18
It's, it is very useful, I mean, to talk with foreigners.
19
I have a lot of foreigners, foreign friends, and I really enjoy being able to talk with them.
20
Maud, do you think you spend too much time working or studying?
21
Well, sometimes maybe because I'm hard working, I like it.
22
And sometimes I think I should rest, take time to rest, yes.
23
Why?
24
Because, well, when I study, I stayed at home.
25
I didn't go out with friends or I didn't like working at a cafe or something.
26
So it's not very a social activity.
27
Yeah.
28
So I should meet my friends and go out.
29
Rafaell, do you like using the internet to keep in touch with people?
30
Yeah, sometimes.
31
But to keep in touch with people, I think it's better to see them face to face, not just writing.
32
But something like Facebook, I think it's useful like a contact book, but not really as interaction between people.
33
In this part of the test, I'm going to give each of you three pictures.
34
I'd like you to talk about two of them on your own for about a minute
35
and also to answer a question briefly about your partner's pictures.
36
Raphael, it's your turn first.
37
Here are your pictures.
38
they show people doing things together.
39
I'd like you to compare two of the pictures
40
and say why the people might be doing these things together and how the people might be feeling.
41
So I think these two guys are playing just music together and these three little girls are baking,
42
I don't know, a cake or something.
43
And I think they are doing it together because they might be sisters because they look so similar.
44
And these two are maybe in a band or in a music group.
45
And I think they enjoy to play together music and interact together.
46
And these three girls just like to have fun here and bake in the kitchen.
47
I don't think it will be a nice cake, but yeah, just to learn how to cook.
48
And it's just an activity for them together.
49
And I think the both guys could also be preparing for something maybe a concert or something but yeah Thank you Rafa.
50
Maud, in which situation do you think the people benefit most from being together?
51
Well, I think every kind of situation depends on the kind of relationship you have with the person.
52
When you're at school, maybe in a class, it's good to talk with some people sometimes just to think about something else.
53
And when you're cooking, the same, you share ideas, you learn things.
54
When you're playing music, you, well, you learn about each other so it really depends on the situation.
55
Thank you.
56
Now Maud, here are your pictures.
57
They show students doing different activities.
58
I'd like you to compare two of the activities
59
and say how students can benefit from doing these activities
60
and how helpful the activities might be in preparing them for their future lives.
61
Alright, okay.
62
So, let me see.
63
So I'd like to talk about these two pictures.
64
Well, on these two pictures we can see two students who are doing different things.
65
I think she is studying so well.
66
While studying she gained knowledge and she gets prepared for a test, maybe, something.
67
So it helps her preparing it and maybe she will pass the test if she work hard.
68
So and this student is giving a presentation and it helps her,
69
it will help her develop a kind of ease while talking to other people.
70
So if she wants to be in the entertainment field,
71
it will be very useful for her to be able to talk to people.
72
Thank you.
73
Raphael, which of these activities do you think is most useful?
74
I think it's this one where they built a tent or something, because it helps for the teamwork.
75
And I think that's the most important thing for future life because when they're in the office or just at the job,
76
they have to be prepared to work in the team and ask others about their opinion and work together with them.
77
Thank you.
78
Now I'd like you to talk about something together for about two minutes.
79
Here are some things that people often have to make decisions about and a question for you to discuss.
80
First you have some time to look at the task.
81
Now talk to each other about what people might have to consider when making these decisions.
82
Okay, so let's talk about choosing a university first.
83
I think people have to think about, well, first the students have to think about what they like of course
84
when they want to study a university yeah and students
85
and parents have to think about money
86
because in some countries universities is very how very expensive like in England here
87
and I think you have also to choose the university for
88
like where you can study the subject you really want to
89
and also that the university with the subject is the best university from all the universities with the subject.
90
Like the best results in an exam or something like that.
91
And what about starting a family?
92
Again, there is a financial criteria to consider, I think.
93
And well, when you start a family, you need to talk maybe about children.
94
Yeah.
95
You have also to think about if you're ready already to build a family.
96
And if you have enough money and where to settle
97
and you need to think about the jobs maybe
98
because I think that's now most of the parents I mean two parents are working
99
so they need to yeah to take that in consideration
100
and moving to another country I think the language is very important yeah and
101
There are some restrictions as well about languages, like if you want to move to Australia,
102
you need to pass the IELTS exam.
103
Thank you.
104
Now you have about a minute to decide in which situation it's most important to make the right decision.
105
I think the most important is getting married, because when two people find the find each other
106
and they think about getting married they should really think about it
107
because it's an important decision and they don't just get married.
108
Yes, then you have to sign kind of a contract
109
and those people are together for whole their lives so they need to think about it before getting married.
110
I think this is also connected to starting a family because I think it's To another country.
111
Well, yes.
112
Everything relies on it.
113
Yeah.
114
Mm-hmm.
115
Okay. So, yeah.
116
And also when you are getting married, I think it's better to first get married before you start a family,
117
because then you're like a couple.
118
Kind of, yes, a legal couple or something like that.
119
Thank you.
120
Rafaell, is it best for people to make decisions on their own or to ask others for advice?
121
I think it's always important to consider other opinions because they have a different view on the topic or on the question.
122
And so I think it's always important to ask as many people as possible and consider the different points.
123
Do you agree, Maud?
124
Well, in some ways, yes, but I think that some people can,
125
should make their own decision when they think that the advice that all the people give them are not very strong. So yes.
126
Maud, some people think it's best to plan their lives carefully, others prefer to make spontaneous decisions.
127
What's your opinion?
128
Well again it depends on the individuals and I think
129
that planning your life is very important like in my opinion planning studies
130
and holidays is very important because
131
when you study you don't have a lot of time to leave to holiday
132
so if you book a holiday or or something like that.
133
You need to think about it before. Do you agree, Raphael?
134
Yes, I agree.
135
But I think it's also important that we don't plan everything because when we don't reach it at the end, we may be depressed.
136
And so it's always just the most important thing we should plan.
137
Why do you think some people find it harder to make decisions than others?
138
I think that some people are not very used to make their own decisions like when you have very
139
Pushy parents you you don't really get to make your own decision and maybe some people are scared about
140
About the following Yes, yeah the other opinions or and also,
141
it's It's like I think it's like you
142
Either you are very good in making decisions and you should also be like a leader for a group or something.
143
But when you don't, I think it's better when you just listen to someone else.
144
Yes, listen to someone's advice, yeah.
145
How do you think young people can be helped to take on responsibilities?
146
I think it's important that they are teached in school about this and also from the parents at home.
147
Yes, very important.
148
The parents, I think, play a very important role because they are like an example for their children and yes,
149
they should teach them the good way of,
150
well, decision and how to to pre think about how to make a decision.
151
I think you can also start at an early age with like giving them little tasks to do
152
and then they have to the responsibility to do the task and then they learn what it means.
153
Yes, I often ask them questions like what do you want, what do you think so that they can talk
154
and share their ideas and give their opinion about things and develop this kind of skill.
155
So also in the job they will get tasks from their boss and then they also know
156
what it means that they get the task done.
157
encourage them to do their homework or things like that when they're very young.
158
Thank you.
159
That is the end of the test.

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.
