Good morning Nhi.
4
Good morning.
5
Nice to see you.
6
How are you feeling today?
7
I'm feeling very excited.
8
Brilliant and today Nhi and I are going to be doing a sample speaking test
9
and I hope you can enjoy this from a really truly gifted student
10
and this will give you an idea of what the real test is like and what to expect.
11
So without further ado let's begin.
12
Good morning, very nice to meet you today.
13
What is your name please?
14
My name is Nhi.
15
Fantastic.
16
And Nhi, how are you feeling today?
17
I'm feeling very good.
18
Yeah, fantastic.
19
So the test will be in three parts today.
20
So if you're ready, we can start.
21
Fantastic.
22
So Nhi, first of all,
23
can we please talk about food?
24
What is your favorite type of cuisine?
25
Well, I have to say that I'm not a picky eater
26
so if I have to pick my favorite food I think it's Vietnamese food
27
because we are all familiar with the traditional food in Vietnam
28
and I find that it contains a variety of food
29
so I think that it will give me a tasty meal when it comes to Vietnamese cuisine.
30
Fantastic, Thank you.
31
Do you prefer eating at home or dining out?
32
Well, to be honest, I would like to eat at home
33
because I can ensure the quality of the ingredients and the food that I can make at home.
34
And I find that it's more comfortable for me to eat at home without no one judging me.
35
Have your eating habits changed over time? me?
36
Yes, definitely.
37
When I was young, I preferred junk food and I can eat it all day.
38
But when I've grown older,
39
I think that healthy meal is very important.
40
And then I've changed to a more healthier lifestyle,
41
like eating more vegetables and fruits, I think.
42
Brilliant.
43
But is there any food you dislike?
44
Well it's hard to say because I can eat almost everything but I think that the food has the smell,
45
has a strong smell like a stunky tofu.
46
I think that I don't really love it.
47
Sure, yes and maybe durian.
48
Moving on now let's talk about travel.
49
Do you enjoy traveling to new places?
50
Well, definitely.
51
Who doesn't like traveling?
52
And I find travel really is a really good chance for me to refresh my mind after a really hard working period.
53
And travel, for traveling, I like to explore new places with different cultures and cuisines there.
54
What is the most memorable trip you have ever taken?
55
To be honest, I think that the trip
56
that left me was the most impression is the trip to Thailand
57
because it was the trip that I first came to another country.
58
And in Thailand there are a lot of activities there and I love the culture and also the food there.
59
I can eat almost everything at the time there.
60
Brilliant, thank you so much.
61
Are there any countries you would like to visit in the future, Nying?
62
Personally, I would like to visit France because I currently study French and I find its culture really impressive.
63
And I would like to go to Paris,
64
which is known as a really beautiful city.
65
And I also love fashion.
66
So a lot of fashion brands came from France.
67
So I think I can learn a lot of things there.
68
Fantastic, well done.
69
And finally for part one, let's talk about exercise.
70
How often do you exercise?
71
Well, to be honest, I'm not doing much exercise and I'm like couch potatoes.
72
I would like to sleep all day on my bed,
73
but sometimes I will go out with my family to play badminton or just to run in the park nearby my house.
74
Brilliant, thank you.
75
What types of exercise do you enjoy other than running in your house?
76
As I've mentioned before I'm not doing much exercise.
77
So I would like to prefer like exercise that don't take me much time and
78
not the strong exercise like cardio or running much on the treadmill.
79
I would like to I prefer the times
80
that I can take the fresh air like running or jogging or maybe riding a bicycle.
81
Brilliant, thank you so much Ni,
82
I really enjoyed that part one.
83
Now we will move on to part two, okay?
84
In part two I will give you a question and you have one minute to take notes, okay?
85
So the question is please,
86
describe a memorable experience that you had with your classmates.
87
you should say what was that experience when did it happen how did you feel about it
88
and how did your friends feel about it
89
okay me that brings us to the end of the one minute now
90
so if you're ready please could you start your part two?
91
The memorable experience that leaves me a lot of impression and unforgettable memories is the trip to Dalai.
92
The trip was planned by our school before graduation because at
93
that time we had to do a lot of tests
94
and preparation for the university and it happened in April which which was a perfect time for us.
95
We went to Đà Lạc,
96
which was a really magnificent view of the mountains.
97
And we did a lot of activities there.
98
Firstly, we came to build our tents and then we prepared meal together.
99
It's nice to have a festival that our students can come to the stage and sing and we share our stories there.
100
I loved when we can sit around the campfire to share our moments together.
101
And everyone was in high spirit,
102
so I really loved that atmosphere.
103
And then in the next day,
104
we planned to do a cafe which is on the top of the hill.
105
Then we took a lot of photos together.
106
I love that moment because maybe it's just the last time that we can be this crowded together
107
before everyone separates to another country.
108
Because they planned a lot to go to study overseas.
109
And it leads me with a lot of memorable experiences that I will never forget.
110
Fantastic.
111
Well done.
112
Excellent.
113
Thank you, Nhi.
114
I really enjoyed listening about your trip to Dalat there.
115
It's such a fabulous place.
116
Now we will move on to part three, okay?
117
And the first topic I want us to talk about is memorable experiences.
118
Nhi, what makes an experience unforgettable for a person?
119
Well, I think it depends on the different aspects.
120
Like normally the experience that leads a strong emotion or or it contains something for the first time,
121
like when you first go to school and something like that.
122
I think that it gives you a lot of emotion,
123
evolves in it, so that you can,
124
so it can create a long lasting memory.
125
Brilliant, I agree, thank you.
126
How can a memorable experience affect an individual's identity?
127
Personally, memorable experiences can shape human beliefs and their self-perception.
128
For instance, like me, when I first went to university,
129
I found myself insecure.
130
But then, past memories about friendship and the sense of community,
131
I felt that I need to be involved in this class
132
and then I came to everyone in the class and said hi to them.
133
So I think my past memory helps me to be involved in the class which has shaped my confidence.
134
Why do people often share their memorable experiences with others?
135
Well, I think it depends on each other personality.
136
Some people they want to share every moment and post it on Facebook
137
because they want everyone to notice them and they can upload every picture that they have taken.
138
But for some people, they are more like introverts
139
and they just only want to share their stories or their experience with the close one.
140
and it depends much more on the personality.
141
Fantastic, that's brilliant.
142
Moving on now, let's talk about technological devices.
143
Ni, what makes a technological device important in your daily life?
144
Well, in this day and age,
145
technology plays a vital role in helping us to solving our tasks.
146
For example, a graphic designer depends much on the high performance technology like a laptop
147
or tablet to finish their deadlines
148
and for me I think without my phones on my laptop I cannot do anything
149
because I have to serve internet for information and research for my study
150
and I also need these devices to entertain after a hard working day.
151
Fantastic thank you so much.
152
Well Neat that brings us to the end of our test now thank you
153
so much I really enjoyed listening to your answers there and hope to see you again soon.
154
Thank you.
155
Bye bye.
156
So guys, I hope you all enjoyed listening to that sample answer
157
and Niu is a very successful student who managed to achieve 7.5 in her speaking test,
158
which is an incredibly impressive achievement.
159
Moreover, some of those questions in the part three were incredibly difficult,
160
especially the questions about memorable experiences?
161
I find that some of those questions,
162
they're very difficult because when you're talking about someone's personal identity,
163
how do you think of ideas related to that?
164
Moreover, I love that Neil used our fantastic technique for the question about why people share their memorable experiences with others.
165
She said, oh, in my opinion,
166
it depends on people's personality.
167
Guys, this is a really good technique.
168
Extroverts love to share their memories because because they are outgoing and confident.
169
In contrast, introverts prefer to keep their memories to themselves.
170
This is a fantastic technique and is what takes students from band five and six up to the sevens and eights ranges.
171
So try to do that in your answer as well.
172
There were a few little hiccups with the grammar in terms of the past tense with the story in part two,
173
but one thing that needed was instantly corrected herself.
174
So if she said, oh,
175
I remember vividly, I traveled to Dalat.
176
She was able to correct herself instantly.
177
Please do this in your IELTS exam as well if you make little grammar mistakes.
178
If you can correct them straight away,
179
the examiner will congratulate you for that.
180
So, as always, guys, let me know your comments down below.

183
Bye-bye for now.

Why practice speaking with this video?
If you're preparing for the IELTS exam, practicing speaking is essential, and this video provides an excellent resource for learners eager to achieve a band score of 7 or above. By engaging in a mock speaking test, you can familiarize yourself with the test format and gain a clear understanding of what to expect on the day of your exam. The dynamic exchange between Nhi and the examiner showcases a natural conversation flow, making it easier for you to follow along. Utilizing the shadowing technique, you can imitate Nhi’s responses and intonation, enhancing your English speaking practice. This practical approach will help build your confidence and fluency in real-life situations.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
During the conversation, several key grammatical structures and expressions stand out:
- Present simple tense: Nhi frequently uses this tense to describe habits and preferences, such as "I like to eat at home." Recognizing this tense will help you articulate your thoughts clearly.
- Comparative phrases: Nhi mentions, “I think that healthy meals are very important.” This emphasizes personal beliefs and can be a useful structure when discussing opinions.
- Expressions of preference: Phrases like “I would like” and “to be honest” help convey personal feelings effectively. This can elevate your responses in speaking tests.
- Complex sentences: Nhi says, “When I was young, I preferred junk food”. This structure helps you express thoughts on time and change, adding depth to your discussions.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Pronunciation can significantly impact your speaking score, so being aware of common traps is essential. In the video, certain words and phrases may pose challenges:
- “Cuisine”: The pronunciation of this word can vary; focus on the French influence, emphasizing the second syllable: /kwɪˈziːn/.
- “Dining out”: Pay attention to the linking between the two words, as a fluent speaker would say it quickly and smoothly: /ˈdaɪ.nɪŋ aʊt/.
- “Healthy”: This may often be mispronounced with a heavy emphasis on the first syllable. Remember, it’s pronounced /ˈhɛl.θi/ with a soft “th” sound.
- Accents: Different accents can influence how certain words sound. Practicing with the video using the shadow speak method will help you adjust your pronunciation to be more universally understood.
By focusing on these elements, you can improve your English pronunciation and enhance your overall speaking abilities, making you more prepared for the IELTS speaking section and real-life conversations.
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.
