Unit 7, Speaking Part 3,
2
Exercise 3 I'd like you to imagine that your college is interested in getting students to do more sport.
3
Here are some ideas they are thinking about and a question for you to discuss.
4
First, you have some time to look at the task.
5
Now talk to each other about why these ideas might encourage students to do more sport.
6
So, shall I start?
7
How do you think a visit to the National Athletics Championship would encourage students to do more sport?
8
Erm, well, perhaps seeing elite athletes doing their sports will inspire students to take up the sport and imitate them.
9
Yes, and I imagine students would see how fantastic these people look and how much they enjoy the activity.
10
Maybe, but it might only interest some of the students, but not others.
11
And what about a talk by a professional footballer?
12
I suppose that might be interesting,
13
because he'll probably describe what life's really like for a footballer, and how.. what's the word?
14
How glamorous he is.
15
I suppose so, but I don't think it would encourage me to start playing football myself.
16
There are lots of people like me who aren't really interested in football at all.
17
Yes, I see what you mean.
18
And what about the next one?
19
A weekend doing adventure sports.
20
Well, that's just the sort of thing I'd enjoy, and I think lots of students would get interested in adventure sports if they tried them.
21
That's a good point.
22
And it could be a good, fun weekend.
23
But do you really think many people are going to get involved in adventure sports as a result?
24
They're quite expensive, you know.
25
And you can't do them every day, not living in a big city.
26
That's true.
27
But you can always go to one of those sports centres with a...
28
A climbing wall, I think it's called.
29
Maybe, but I don't think it's the same as going to the mountains to do these things.
30
And not everyone can afford to do that.
31
Now, what about a school sports day?
32
To me, that just sounds, what's the word, childish?
33
We used to do sports days at primary school.
34
Well, perhaps this could be organised in a more adult way.
35
You know, with some serious sports for people who were interested, and less serious activities for other people.
36
That way everyone could get involved.
37
Yes, good idea.
38
And people could be organised into teams, and it could all be made quite competitive and enjoyable at the same time.
39
When I think about it, it could be really successful.
40
You're right.
41
And the idea of free membership of a sports club is also a great idea.
42
Hmm.
43
Lots of students would be interested in that.
44
Yes, but I think that would mainly interest people who already do sports.
45
So I'm not sure it would encourage other people to start.
46
No. Unless it was also a social club at the same time.
47
I think that would be extremely effective.
48
Thank you.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This video, taken from Unit 7, Speaking Part 3, presents an engaging discussion that simulates a typical IELTS speaking practice scenario. By participating in this exercise, learners have the opportunity to enhance their English speaking skills in a relatable context. Discussing ideas about encouraging sports among college students allows you to not only practice articulation but also develop critical thinking and conversational strategies. Engaging with your peers in this manner can significantly help to improve English pronunciation as you experiment with expressing your thoughts and emotions naturally.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Throughout the conversation in the video, several grammatical structures and expressions are effectively used. Here are a few key examples:

  • Conditional statements: Phrases like "If they tried them" and "If it was also a social club" are vital in discussing hypothetical situations. Understanding and using conditionals can improve fluency.
  • Modal verbs: Words such as "might" and "could" express possibility and suggestion, important for nuanced speaking. For instance, "That could be really successful" indicates a positive outlook based on a proposition.
  • Expressing opinions: Phrases like "I suppose that might be interesting" and "To me, that just sounds childish" help learners articulate personal views while maintaining a polite and formal tone suitable for IELTS speaking practice.

Common Pronunciation Traps

In this video, there are several words and phrases that may present challenges for learners looking to master their speaking and pronunciation. Here are some notable examples:

  • “Athletics” - Ensure the correct emphasis is placed on the second syllable: ath-LET-ics.
  • “Glamorous” - This word can trip up speakers; practice emphasizing the first syllable: GLAM-orous.
  • “Adventure” - A tricky one! It’s pronounced as ad-VEN-ture with a clear emphasize on the second syllable.

To tackle these pronunciation challenges, consider using a shadowing site where you can listen and repeat after the speaker, enhancing your phonetic accuracy. Utilizing the shadow speech technique can further reinforce learning, allowing you to mimic intonation patterns and speech rhythms crucial for effective English communication.

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.
