1
Good morning.
2
My name is Mihaela Baccio and this is my colleague Raluca Brenda.
3
And your names are?
4
My name is Victoria.
5
And my name is Andrew.
6
Thank you.
7
Can I have your mark sheets please?
8
Thank you you.
9
Where are you from Victoria?
10
I am from Romania, from Oradea.
11
And you, Andra?
12
Same, I'm from Romania, Oradea.
13
Thank you.
14
First, we'd like to know something about you.
15
Victoria, when was the last time you spent time in nature?
16
The last time I spent time in nature was yesterday
17
because I decided to come to my grandparents in the countryside
18
because it's the Easter break so I wanted to spend a bit of a bit time with them.
19
What is the countryside like in Romania, Andra?
20
I think it's the most relaxing place where I can be
21
and I like to go there whenever I have a break
22
or a school break because my grandparents are there
23
and a lot of my best friends and I also spend a lot of time there.
24
How has the way you spend weekends changed over the years Victoria?
25
When I was younger I usually spent time in the countryside with my grandparents with my pets
26
but now it's usually school work and hanging out with friends
27
because I don't have as much time as I used to anymore.
28
What did you do last weekend Andra?
29
Last weekend I spent my time with my best friend and we went to Lotus and then we had the sleepover.
30
Do you like taking photographs, Victoria?
31
I enjoy taking photographs but sometimes it depends on the subject I'm taking the photo of
32
because I usually like taking photos of animals so it's more my choice
33
and just I don't like taking photos of people at all.
34
How often do you share your photos on social media?
35
Almost every day I think because I like to post stories on Instagram.
36
Thank you.
37
In this part of the test I'm going to give each of you two photographs.
38
I'd like you to talk about your photographs on your own for about a minute
39
and also to answer a question about your partner's photographs.
40
Victoria it's your turn first.
41
First, here are your photographs.
42
They show people who have different types of relationship with their neighbours.
43
I'd like you to compare the photographs and say how the people might be feeling in these situations, alright?
44
In the first picture we can see two neighbours, a woman and an older man.
45
We can see that woman is helping the man walk down the stairs
46
because we can see the man is unstable on his feet
47
because he has a cane uh the elder man seems to be grateful
48
because he has help because he has a help a helper
49
and the woman feels good about herself because she's helping the man
50
In the second picture we can see a couple annoyed of their upstairs neighbors.
51
The man is covering his ears probably because of the noise and yelling, trying to stop the noise from getting into his ears.
52
The woman seems to be cleaning and she's annoyed because her peace was disturbed by the neighbors.
53
They probably are very annoyed with...
54
Thank you.
55
Andra, do you think you're a good neighbour?
56
Yeah, I think I'm a good neighbour because I'm actually really quiet and I don't make noises.
57
Thank you.
58
Can I have the booklet please?
59
Now Andra, here are your photographs.
60
They show relatives spending time together in different ways.
61
I'd like you to compare the photographs
62
and say what you think the people are enjoying about spending
63
time together in these ways alright in the first photograph I see a family of four members they're bicycling
64
and I think the kids are relatives maybe the boy is younger than the girl
65
and also the parents from behind seems younger they're all happy because they're spending time together I assume
66
and yeah they're having a good time in the second photograph i see maybe a grandma grandpa
67
that is doing a barbecue and his nephew is helping him
68
and there are also a lot of people behind who seems very happy
69
and maybe it looks like an activity that is happening in america
70
or somewhere because they're having a barbecue and I think it's someone's birthday
71
and they're all enjoying the times together and it's good there together
72
and the family and everything thank you Victoria
73
which activity would you prefer to do with your family I prefer the family barbecue
74
because the family barbecue allows more family to come there
75
and hang out with each other
76
because I just love spending time with family more not just my mom and dad
77
and siblings I like more relatives to be there thank
78
you can I have the booklet please thank you now I'd like you to talk about something together for about two minutes.
79
I'd like you to imagine that a fashion company is thinking of starting a blog to help promote their brand.
80
Here are some topics they are thinking about for their first blog post and a question for you to discuss.
81
First you have some time to look at the task.
82
Now, talk to each other about who would be the most likely to find these topics interesting.
83
Would you like to start?
84
Yes.
85
I personally believe
86
that an interview with a fashion designer would be the best choice for a first blog
87
because it would have the biggest influence on people
88
because they could use an influencer in the interview and influencers have more influence on people.
89
What do you think?
90
I agree with you actually and maybe
91
if they bring a fashion designer who is also popular they have a big topic on it
92
and maybe everyone will be interested on the blonde.
93
What about What do your clothes say about you?
94
I personally don't think that would be a first blog topic nor another blog's topic
95
because no one has to tell you what you should wear
96
because your style is your choice and you should dress however you want to.
97
What do you think?
98
I agree with you.
99
I think the clothes doesn't matter
100
and the personality is more important important than the clothes what
101
about careers in fashion do you think is a good topic
102
I don't think it's a good topic for a first blog
103
but maybe it's better in another vlog
104
because people don't care about careers in fashion they mostly only care about fashion some people like fashion
105
but don't want to have a career in fashion what do
106
you think yeah I think not everyone who is looking at
107
the blog it's interested in having a career in fashion maybe
108
they're interesting just to see what the blog is about
109
and see the fashion that he's talking about in there not having a career
110
or about how to repair clothes
111
that isn't a good topic for a first blog at all
112
because people want to see the fashion the all the clothing
113
and everything not how to repair them thank you now you have about a minute to decide
114
which idea would be the best for the first blog post I think
115
that an interview with a fashion designer would be the best choice for a first blog
116
because mostly fashion designers have more influence on people what do
117
you think I think what your clothes say about you it would be an interesting blog
118
because I think people should know that it doesn't matter how you dress
119
and it matters the personality you have and should go on
120
that side both of those are very good first blog topics yeah I agree
121
but I would go on what your clothes say about you
122
but also the interview it's actually a good topic okay thank you can i have the booklet please
123
now apart from the subject what makes a good blog post
124
victoria um a good blog i personally don't know what a good blog post would be
125
because i never read a blog in my whole life because
126
they just don't interest me at all but it depends on people what do you think
127
well i think the most interesting subject about the blog is
128
what teenagers are interested in like i don't know posters about the festival artists trappers and everything
129
how do retail companies benefit from having blogs
130
They benefit because people like to read blogs about
131
that specific retail store so they can find more information about
132
that brand or company so they know what to expect of them.
133
What do you think?
134
Well, I think if they're promoting their clothes on someone popular, maybe the fans will try to recreate it and that's going to be a successful way to promote it.
135
Is fashion an important sector in Romania, Andra?
136
Actually, I think it's gonna be an important sector
137
because we're now having festivals where are coming international artists
138
and they're having a good clothing and I think maybe the people will try to recreate the things and the styles.
139
What do you think, Vithera?
140
I think that in Romania most people don't care about fashion because they just dress up and leave the house.
141
They don't care about anyone's opinions.
142
And mostly middle-aged people do that.
143
But now teenagers and younger kids are more interested in fashion than everyone used to be in Romania.
144
How do fashion companies use psychology to promote their clothes?
145
I think that fashion companies use mostly influencers
146
so they can promote their clothes because influencers have a big influence on people
147
and makes them want to try more and more clothes
148
because of their influence what do you think yeah i agree i mean
149
when i see an artist that it's having a good clothing style i think i try to recreate it and yeah
150
some people believe
151
that consumers have the power to make the fashion industry more environmentally responsible do you agree um
152
so consumers can make fashion companies environmentally conscious of their clothing
153
because they can leave bad
154
or good reviews depending on their experience with their clothing what do you think i agree with you i think
155
that is actually what matters the more
156
and yeah it's what have been the main advantages and disadvantages of globalization in the fashion industry
157
and so an advantage would be that now we can buy anything online from another country easily because
158
of the development of social media and online shops.
159
What do you think?
160
I think that is true because most of the people are buying stuff online
161
and it's easier to go shopping online than going physically there.
162
And I think it's the biggest advantage that could exist.
163
Thank you.
164
That is the end of the test.
165
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.
