Are you ready?

Yes.

From here starts the speaking test.

This is the speaking mock test of the International English Language Testing System taking place in Ross Isles Academy.

The candidate is Puriya.

The candidate number is 014325.

The examiner is Joseph.

Examiner number 321455.

Good afternoon.

My name is Joseph.

Yes, sir.

Would you please tell me your full name?

I'm Priya Merasa.

And what can I call you?

Call Priya.

Priya, can I see your identification plate?

Yeah, sure.

Here you go.

Perfect, thank you so much.

Let's begin by part one.

In the first part of the exam, I will ask you some personal questions.

First, I'd like to ask you about studying.

What do you study?

I'm a graduate in civil engineering.

I finished studying about seven years ago and I have been working as...

I've been working...

Do you like that subject?

Oh sure, it's absolutely glamorous.

I feel it has given me a novel vision to life.

And what would you change about your subject?

Actually, I don't intend to justify myself to have studied the best major to help my life.

I have studied diverse subjects in civil engineering,

which some of them were not crucial to be an engineer.

If I had the chance to change something...

Now let's move on to talk about music.

What's your favorite type of music?

Iranian traditional music is my it's far much in authority for

me since my grandfather was a myth singer in

it can you sing unfortunately not nevertheless less

I profoundly enthusiastic about how to learn about learning how to sing.

If you could learn a musical instrument what would it be?

If I were able to learn a musical instrument it would

absolutely be the traditional one presumably to them back it's a kind of musical instruments made by camel skin and

unique boot now let's talk about neighbors and neighborhood do you like your neighbors

of course i do i'm able to talk for hours about the advantage of having them

However, I don't ever forget good fences make good neighbors.

Are neighbors usually close to each other in your country?

All in all, I would say yes.

They usually give each other a hand.

However, there are many neighbors who break the rules in a neighborhood.

And what is your neighborhood like?

I live in a quiet neighborhood.

And fortunately, there are plenty of public facilities like park, supermarket, libraries, hospital.

And that's the end of part one.

Let's begin by part two.

I'm going to give you a topic, and I'd like you to talk about it for up to two minutes.

Before you talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say, and you can make notes if you wish.

Do you understand?

Okay, you can take some paper and a pencil to make notes.

and I'd like you to describe a quiz program or game show on TV that you like and here's your cue card.

Your one minute preparation time starts now.

Thank you.

Your one minute preparation time is over and you can speak right now for up to two minutes.

I'd like to talk about this popular quiz program which is on once a week on TV.

It's called Be a Wiener.

The first time I was aware of this show was when I saw some extract in social media.

The show is including 20 diverse general questions,

which you gain some money by answering the first poem,

and then you will double money by answering another poem.

and in each step in each steps you are asked whether leave

and withdraw or continue this game however if you have a wrong answer you lose all your money

This quiz program is adorable for me since I obtain useful experience information whenever I watch that.

And this quiz program itself is so celebrated and remarkable.

Do you still watch it?

No, that's finished.

And do you think that there should be more such programs, shows on TV?

Yeah, sure.

I'm angry with that.

I'll start again.

And this show is very adorable and useful for people.

All right.

Thank you so much.

Your two-minute time is over.

So please hand me back the paper, the pen, and the cue card.

Now let's move on to part three, the last part.

We've been talking about your favorite game show or quiz on TV, and I'd now like to ask you some questions related to this topic.

First, let's consider television.

Do people in your country like to watch TV?

I reckon less than before, since TV programs in Iran are arcade and drab.

whenever some people who are still watching in free time.

And tell me about the types of programs that are generally on television in your country.

The TV program in Iran are not based on fundamental needs of people.

There are many types of shows on TV,

for instance, documentary, drama, comedy, news, and game show.

The majority of people still believe they are not interested enough to spend time.

Why do some people like to watch TV on their computer?

I can justify that the main reason is lack of time.

People are much busier than before,

so sometimes they don't have access to TV,

100

therefore they prefer watch TV on their phone or computers.

101

What is the difference between young people and old people's favorite TV drama?

102

people typically gravitate towards genre like fantasy,

103

teen dramas or science fictions

104

and whereas all the adults tend to

105

prefer genre like historical drama family sagas

106

or crime dramas and with some show with uh why is that the case

107

It depends on the culture that's changed nowadays in Iran, I reckon.

108

Do you think soap opera will have bad influence on children?

109

Of course I do.

110

Since the children is so curious and prone to bad behavior and may mimic them,

111

parents must be careful, more careful about that.

112

And have you experienced such a thing in your family?

113

No, this is my just opinion and guess.

114

All right, thank you very much.

115

This is the end of the speaking test.

116

Now give me two minutes to review your performance and we'll get back to you with the feedback.

117

of comprehensive feedback plus we'll give you useful tips on how

118

to make your performance better remember all our examiners are especially trained by british council instructors

119

so we know how to help you join us all right as you know there are four criteria

120

or band descriptors based on which we review your performance

121

and determine your overall band score fluency and coherence is the first part.

122

Then we have vocabulary or what we call lexical resource.

123

Then we have grammar and then there's pronunciation.

124

So let's begin with fluency and coherence.

125

You did a great job, but you had and faced some long hesitations.

126

And I think you faced some nervousness or you were stressed out.

127

And I'm sure that that was the case and the reason for your long hesitations, but that has definitely marked you down.

128

Try to be confident and relax.

129

Speak with confidence.

130

Avoid those long hesitations.

131

Of course, some of them were related to language,

132

language-related hesitations, but mixed with content-related hesitations.

133

Of course, that has affected your overall band score.

134

Try to overcome these issues next time, and I'm sure you can make it.

135

Of course, you were able to speak about familiar and unfamiliar topics, and this is what matters.

136

This will definitely affect your band score positively.

137

So it was very evident from your word choice.

138

Let's just move on to this part, lexical resource, which is your favorite part, I think, because you had a very rich word treasure.

139

You used idiomatic vocabulary, like giving each other hand.

140

Neighbors, you were talking about neighbors and you said they can

141

give each other's hand and

142

and then um you also said uh gravitate he used very

143

good words um now of course you said um i was aware of nothing

144

that i would be aware of something like

145

that you use some colloquial um words and language that's perfect

146

but try not to use memorized language A memorized language will mark you down where you

147

when you can easily say people usually tend to do something avoid using people gravitate towards

148

because that will make it seem unnatural like

149

that will give me the feeling that you are not a native speaker

150

and you just try to use a memorized language

151

so avoiding these issues can definitely

152

and easily increase your band score try to be natural try

153

to use the English language like you use your own mother tongue so

154

if you remove these little issues you will easily increase your band scores sometimes you also have to pay attention to collocations.

155

That's not a big issue.

156

You said they have a wrong answer.

157

What is a better word for having a wrong answer?

158

Providing a wrong answer.

159

So provide an answer, provide collocations with answers.

160

So collocation does matter for the candidate to increase their band score.

161

So these are the issues you faced with lexical resource.

162

Of course, you did have a good performance.

163

You have a broad vocabulary,

164

rich word treasure, but you need to manage those words and your knowledge in the lexical resource.

165

grammar.

166

One of your strong points is grammar.

167

You use some complex structure.

168

You use if or conditional sentences easily without any mistake, and that is a great asset you have.

169

Try to expand the usage of complex structures.

170

You say people don't intend to do something that's great.

171

you said nevertheless you use some connectives you you have a diverse knowledge of connectives

172

and posters which definitely will help you find the next ideas easily

173

and also uh there are some little issues there

174

when it comes to grammar you said you the subject verb agreement you need to pay attention like

175

when you were talking about plural nouns like TV programs they

176

are is a TV program are without adding an S to the end of program

177

so but overall when it comes to grammar it's one of your strong points

178

and also pronunciation is where you also did a great job

179

but a couple of subtle issues there is a studded instead

180

of studied studied not a very long e they studied yes

181

but he said they studied some something like studied instead something is studied with something uh

182

and sometimes you mispronounce some specific sounds you say they they talked about it without uh enunciating the sound k

183

but talked about it you need to enunciate and speak with clearance so um

184

or sometimes we have this uh these issues with people who

185

are from iran iranians are not able to pronounce the w

186

the the sound of the w like winner what what water winner iranians usually say vinner

187

or water and so try to avoid these mistakes we're not talking about

188

when we talk about pronunciation we're not talking about accent we're talking about

189

clarity clarity you need to be clear

190

when you speak speak about uh any topic

191

and the ultimate message should be uh should be communicated

192

and should be conveyed to the other side so So you need to be clear in speaking.

193

The rise and fall really matters.

194

You were monotonous a little bit.

195

And that stems from the nervousness and stress.

196

If you overcome your stress, these issues are nothing really for you.

197

You have a great command of English.

198

So try to observe the rise and fall, word and sentence stress.

199

If you observe these issues, then you will sound natural

200

and it will establish a very effective communication with the examiner and that will lead to a higher band score.

201

Anyways, good luck and see you next time.

202

I appreciate it.

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.
