Take a look at this fish.
2
What do you think is going to happen next?
3
If you're taking the CELPIP exam,
4
you're going to see a question like this on the exam.
5
What do you think will happen next?
6
Well, in this lesson, I'm going to teach you how you should answer this question.
7
Now, I'm making a lot of videos on CELPIP, listening, speaking, reading, writing.
8
So if you haven't already,
9
make sure you subscribe to my channel right down there.
10
Okay, so this is task 4 on the speaking part of the test.
11
And task 4 is all about making predictions.
12
What's going to happen?
13
Now actually, you're going to see the same picture that you saw in task 3,
14
which is describing a scene.
15
okay so in task three you're going to see a picture
16
and you have to describe it then in task four you have to predict what's going to happen okay
17
but it's the same picture so
18
when you're doing task three you can already be thinking about what's going to happen in task four okay
19
so in task three you're describing the picture you can say this is a picture of a fish
20
and a fish hook And then in task 4,
21
you're going to say, I think the fish will...
22
And you're going to make a prediction.
23
Now, take a look at this.
24
In task 2, you're talking about a past experience.
25
So you're going to use past tense verbs.
26
In task 3, you're describing a picture.
27
So you're going to use present tense verbs.
28
In task 4, you're making predictions.
29
so you're going to use future tense verbs.
30
This is very important.
31
This isn't just random.
32
They chose these tasks to test you on your verb tenses.
33
So you really need to pay attention to the verb tenses.
34
In this one, you're just using past tenses.
35
Two years ago, I went on a trip with my friend.
36
And here you're saying this picture is of a parrot sitting in a tree.
37
On the left side of the picture there is a boy.
38
On the right side of the picture there is...
39
So you're just using present verbs, right?
40
In this one you're going to be using future tense verbs, right?
41
Now this is how we make predictions in English.
42
we use words like this.
43
I think or I'm pretty sure or I'm not entirely sure
44
but I think or I think what will probably happen is or what's going to happen next is.
45
Okay, so we use these phrases when we're making predictions.
46
Now, you're going to say I think or something similar to that.
47
Then you're going to use a future tense verb.
48
Okay, so look at this picture.
49
We have a cat and a mouse.
50
So what do you think is going to happen?
51
Well, you could say, I think the cat will.
52
Then, I think the mouse is going to,
53
remember, is going to and will mean the same thing.
54
They're both future tense verbs.
55
Okay, so I want you to look at this picture,
56
okay and and and think about what you would say now remember you have to speak for 60 seconds
57
60 seconds that's a long time okay this is a very simple picture um there's a cat
58
and a mouse so
59
if you say i think the cat will eat the mouse that's only five seconds you need to speak for 60 seconds.
60
So you need to think about a series of events.
61
You need to tell a story, something creative.
62
Just make something up.
63
It's your choice.
64
Okay, so make a series of events.
65
Now, when you see the question,
66
you have 30 seconds to prepare something,
67
to think about what's going to happen.
68
So you can take some notes.
69
So maybe write down two or three things,
70
just words, that you think that will help you remember what you want to talk about.
71
Okay, 30 seconds is not a very long time,
72
so you just have to write down a few words.
73
For example, you You could say,
74
um, cat tries to catch mouse, but fails.
75
Then, uh, cat chases mouse around the house, or something like that.
76
Just any story, anything that you think is going to happen,
77
you need to use future tense verbs,
78
and you need to tell a series of events that will take 60 seconds.
79
Because if you only speak for 5 or 10 seconds,
80
you're going to get really bad marks.
81
Okay, so I want you to pause this video right now and take some notes for 30 seconds on this picture.
82
And then after 30 seconds I want you to try to speak for one minute.
83
Then after you're finished speaking I want you to press the play button again
84
because I'm going to give you an example of what I would say in this question.
85
Okay.
86
So.
87
Are you ready?
88
Here's what I would say if I saw this question on the exam.
89
I have my stopwatch here.
90
So, you ready?
91
Here we go.
92
I think the cat is going to try to catch the mouse,
93
but the mouse is smart.
94
the mouse is going to run back into its hole
95
and the cat won't be able to get it
96
because the hole is too small the cat is too big to fit in the hole
97
but the cat is smart the cat is going to wait quietly outside the hole
98
and wait for the mouse to come out and
99
when the mouse comes out the cat's going to pounce on it
100
but the mouse is going to escape
101
and run around the house the cat is going to chase the mouse around the house
102
and i think the cat is really hungry
103
so the cat's not going to give up the cat is
104
going to continue chasing the mouse until it catches it and
105
when it catches the mouse it's going to eat the mouse for dinner
106
so in the end the mouse is going to die and the cat is going to be happy.
107
Perfect.
108
One minute.
109
One minute and one second.
110
I went one second over.
111
Okay, so that's how I would answer this question.
112
Is that what you said?
113
Or did you have some other crazy story?
114
Okay, so let's take a look at another picture.
115
Now, again, I want you to pause this video do the same thing.
116
Take some notes for 30 seconds on what's going to happen here,
117
and then after 30 seconds,
118
try to speak for 60 seconds.
119
And then after you're finished,
120
press the play button again,
121
because I'm going to give you another example of what I would say.
122
So, let's see, I'll reset my stopwatch.
123
Okay, are you ready?
124
Here's my answer.
125
So I think the shark is going to attack the girl because it looks pretty hungry.
126
So it's going to attack the girl but the girl looks really brave and strong.
127
So I think the girl is going to fight back.
128
I think she's going to punch the shark in the nose and the shark is going to get really mad.
129
They're going to fight for a long time
130
but I think the shark is obviously bigger and stronger so the girl is going to get tired first from fighting.
131
So I think she's going to give up
132
and she's going to try to swim away and the shark is going to bite off one of her legs
133
but some fishermen nearby are going to see the scene
134
and shoot the shark and save the girl
135
so in the end the girl will lose a leg
136
but she'll be saved okay again I went one second over okay so So,
137
I think that's good.
138
You're just, you're telling a story.
139
You're trying to make something up.
140
A series of events.
141
Okay, so I said first,
142
the shark is going to attack the girl.
143
Then, the girl is going to fight back and punch the shark in the nose,
144
which is going to make the shark mad.
145
and then they're going to fight for a while
146
and then the girl is going to get tired
147
and she's going to give up and try to swim away
148
and then the shark is going to bite off one of her legs
149
but some fishermen are going to save her by shooting the shark okay
150
so it's a series of events in one minute
151
so I was speaking for the full minute try not to try not to pause for too long Try not to say,
152
um, uh, it's okay.
153
If you pause a few times or if you say,
154
um, you know, a few times,
155
but try to practice so that you don't have too many pauses.
156
Try to speak as much as you can.
157
Not too fast, just a nice smooth pace.
158
Try to practice speaking for a full minute.
159
and C.
160
I think you're going to improve if you practice that.
161
Okay, so let's do some homework.
162
I want you to tell me what's going to happen next in this picture.
163
So here we have a building that's on fire
164
and we have a guy standing on the roof of the building and we have some people down here.
165
So what's going to happen?
166
Let me know your answer down there in the comments
167
and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
168
Take care.

Specifically, this session focuses on a particular component of the speaking section, which tests your ability to make predictions based on visual cues. Task 4 of the speaking test challenges learners to predict future events illustrated in an image. By engaging with this content, you can gain a deeper understanding of how to formulate predictions correctly and effectively, which is crucial not only for the CELPIP but also for enhancing overall English speaking proficiency.
Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication
- I think... - A simple yet effective way to express your prediction.
- I'm pretty sure... - Use this phrase to indicate a higher level of certainty.
- I'm not entirely sure, but I think... - This is great for when you want to hedge your predictions.
- I think what will probably happen is... - A more elaborate way to express a prediction.
- What's going to happen next is... - Directly pronouncing a forecast based on observation.
Incorporating these phrases into your daily communication can significantly improve English pronunciation and make your statements more fluid and natural, which is vital for both the CELPIP exam and general conversation.
Step-by-step Shadowing Guide
If you're aiming to enhance your speaking skills through shadowing techniques, here's a step-by-step guide to tackle the challenges presented in this video:
- Watch the video: Start by watching the video in full to grasp the context. Pay attention to how the speaker makes predictions based on visual cues.
- Listen & Repeat: Use a shadowing app to listen to specific segments of the video where predictions are made. Pause and repeat after the speaker to practice fluency and intonation.
- Focus on Verb Tenses: Note the changes in verb tenses. In this practice, you will transition from past to present and finally future tense. This understanding is crucial and will aid you during the IELTS speaking practice as well.
- Predict on Your Own: After observing the given images, try to create your predictions using the learned phrases. For example, while looking at a picture of a cat and a mouse, say, “I think the cat will catch the mouse.”
- Record and Review: Record yourself making predictions and listen to your pronunciation. This will help you identify areas to work on and track your progress over time.
By consistently applying these shadow speaking techniques, you will not only enhance your speaking abilities in preparation for exams like CELPIP or IELTS but also improve your day-to-day communication skills effectively. Don’t forget to practice regularly to see significant improvements in your English fluency.
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.
