शैडोइंग अभ्यास: IELTS Speaking Test – Perfect Band 9 - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Let's start off by talking about your work or your studies.

Do you work or study?

I work.

I studied architecture for five years and now I work in the research department, particularly focusing on urban planning.

So in a way it's a little bit different from my background in architecture, but it still gave me the basics to be able to do what I do today.

What was your favourite aspect of your career?

degree?

I think it's a very creative degree in the sense that you get to learn so many skills.

At the same time, you get to do a little bit of drawing, a little bit of creative thinking, a little bit of model making.

So in that way, it really makes you a

one full rounded person and I think that's probably the thing that I'm most grateful for throughout my studies.

If you could go back in time and do a different degree, what would it be?

I actually thought about that a lot.

I think I always was a little bit more

less creative oriented and more technical oriented

so I would have loved to do anything related to research in the biomedicine area or the...

I at some point even thought of doing some engineering degrees so something maybe a little bit less creative and more logical,

logical mindset oriented discipline.

Do you think that you will ever do a postgraduate degree in the future?

I have done my master's already in architecture itself.

If you're asking about a PhD, I think for my particular discipline it's a little hard to do a PhD in architecture,

simply because again it's more of a creative endeavour.

So, and a PhD is more of a research architecture that I would definitely do it.

Until then I don't really feel the need to do it just for the sake of doing it.

Now let's talk about your home.

Do you live in an apartment or a house?

I live in a studio apartment here but back home where my family is.

We live in like a slightly bigger apartment, a three bedroom apartment.

So yeah, I actually never lived in houses.

I'm definitely more of an apartment.

apartment person.

And can you describe your family home?

Yes.

So it's actually a rather

even spaced apartment in the sense that it has all the living rooms

and all the common spaces are large enough that we can gather in it and have guests without any issues.

We have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a very nice terrace area that actually has a very

beautiful panoramic view of the city and a little bit of a garden area too.

So very, very grateful for the house.

It's been the house that I lived in since I was four.

So it's a little bit run down around the edges, but still I feel very nostalgic every time I go back.

Is it a traditional house compared to other houses in your country?

the vocabulary.

We've put all the best words, phrases, idioms into one PDF for you.

If you would like that, go to the description, click on the link.

It's our gift to you.

You can download it 100 % for free.

I would have loved for it to be a traditional house.

Traditional houses are, back in my country, at least very beautifully ornated, very beautiful colours, all of these riyads and all of these things.

But no, it's a definitely more, more, more typical modern apartment.

So no, not in that sense.

Can you describe your dream home?

Yes.

So my dream home actually always was for it to be as traditional as possible.

Going back to your previous question, I always wanted to imbue some of my roots in my house.

So ideally, I would love for it to have all of the colors that I was talking about, the beautiful blue bright colors, all of the patterns and all of the,

it has a very specific layout in that.

You have the garden area in the middle and all of the other rooms around it.

So I think that makes it very family gathering oriented in that sense.

Some Something like that would be ideal for me, but...

We'll see how in the future.

what the future brings.

Now let's talk about family gatherings.

In your country, what are the most common times of year where families gather together?

I would say is all of the Muslim national holidays.

So both Eids, the Eid after Ramadan and the second Eid, those are common in all Arab Muslim countries.

Other than that, the typical New Years and

our birthdays we try to celebrate together

but that's not really cultural that's more of our family traditions

so yeah all of these

and what food do you normally serve at a family gathering it depends on the event

so if it's a um uh like a muslim religious event then it would be anywhere between traditional sweets uh uh

Moroccan mint tea, And those are typically what we have for breakfast.

And then for lunch or dinner, we would have more of the heavy oil meals,

such as couscous is one of them.

Chicken pastilla is one of them.

Delicious, but very heavy in that sense.

But for birthdays, well, birthday cakes.

And now let's talk about hot drinks.

What's your favorite hot drink?

So I am Moroccan, so I love Moroccan mint tea.

That's actually, I would say, our national drink.

We love to have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner and even tea at any point during the day.

So Moroccan mint tea, but not too sweet.

because that tends to be pretty sweet actually.

Are there any hot drinks that you dislike?

So I don't want to divide the community out there.

I'm not a big fan of matcha or any of those trendy hot drinks currently.

So that's a no -go for me.

Other than that, I wouldn't discriminate against anything else.

I love coffee too. So...

And if I visited your country, where is the best place to get mint tea?

I would say the most traditional coffee shops you can find out there, the roughest coffee shops with the roughest look and the roughest tears.

those tend to be the atmosphere there is great

so you would get the the pure um traditional atmosphere in that sense but uh any yeah any

I wouldn't say go to the dangerous neighborhoods either, but any of those.

So the original plan that I have was back when I was 18.

I had planned to study, continue my studies in France, still architecture.

However, I...

100

Because continuing your studies in France is such a common pathway for every Moroccan out there.

101

I wanted to try something different.

102

I wanted to experience a new culture and I wanted to learn a new language particularly.

103

So I rather shifted my focus to more of a new path.

104

I wanted to study in the UK and I do not regret that decision, not even one bit.

105

very, grateful that I got to experience the British culture.

106

I was actually enamored by the British culture when I was 18.

107

I got to really practice my English and speak a new language

108

and I think had I not done that I would have probably not been able to speak English so fluently today.

109

And also I got to travel a lot across the UK that I don't think would have been something

110

I stuck to my original plan.

111

So I feel very grateful about that.

112

I still I still got to visit France every now and then, so it's not that I completely ignored the country or the other,

113

but I managed to do both at the same time.

114

And other than that, in terms of my studies themselves,

115

I would say that perhaps studying in the UK gave me a better exposure to certain universities,

116

a certain level of doing that specific discipline in a specific way. So...

117

No regrets.

118

So we've been talking about a plan that you made and that you changed.

119

Now let's continue to talk about plans.

120

Do you think it's a good idea to make plans with friends?

121

It depends on the age I think.

122

You reach a certain age where even making plans with friends doesn't guarantee

123

that you would actually end up going to the or sticking to the plan that you originally made.

124

So I am at an age, unfortunately, where I think it's better,

125

you're better off simply going with the flow and or perhaps planning a day or two in advance.

126

But planning, from my experience, planning a week in advance never really works out.

127

Maybe it's just that I have bad friends, I don't know.

128

Do you think that it's better to discuss plans with someone or to keep it to yourself?

129

Well, I'm a big believer in keeping your plans to yourself, particularly if they're very personal, particularly if they're aspirational.

130

I think you should really let your actions speak.

131

I don't like listening to people that tell me their plans, I like to see them act on it.

132

So I would probably keep my personal plans to myself.

133

Um, yeah.

134

Now let's talk about, uh, making plans for your career.

135

Do you think it's important to plan a degree that leads directly into your, chosen career or not?

136

Also depends on the age.

137

At 18 you really you cannot know what you want to do for the rest of your life.

138

So in that sense, planning your career is

139

almost guaranteed to be an effort or an endeavor that doesn't really amount to anything.

140

So I would not encourage

141

anyone at 18 to really plan their career to the T because more likely than not it's going to change.

142

So it's important to go with the flow and be open to any new opportunities because you really don't know,

143

I think, when you're that young what you want to spend your life on the rest of your life doing.

144

So in that sense, planning your career, particularly educational path is not the best idea,

145

but it's good to have a baseline nonetheless, and a little bit of leeway in between.

146

Do you think that it's essential for someone to get experience in a

147

career they hope to go into or should they just go into that career?

148

Definitely.

149

And I wish that that's something that as students did more or schools encouraged to do more instead of

150

asking them to make a decision at 18,

151

I think it would be very beneficial for everybody to spend a couple of months doing different things all at once.

152

Foundation year I think is something that the UK does.

153

I wish I had done that because I think particularly at

154

that age it's very important to get to experience so many different things,

155

really getting hands -on on very different experiences rather than simply imagining what could be good for you or not.

156

Once somebody embarks on a career, if they become unhappy, should they stay the course or should they change careers?

157

That's a very controversial question.

158

I think people have different approaches.

159

So I don't want to really disencourage anybody to quit.

160

But I'm It-- depends again also on your responsibilities.

161

I think it's harder when you have a family,

162

when you have people to take care of to simply act on a rash and leave your career.

163

So where you're at an age where you don't really have as many responsibilities, I would say yes.

164

Life is short.

165

Why would you stick to something that you're unhappy doing?

166

I'll give you some feedback on part one, part two and part three and then we'll talk about your scores.

167

If you would like your speaking assessed one -on -one we do offer that as part of our VIP package.

168

To thank you for watching the video I'll offer you 10

169

% off all you have to do is just go to the description click the link

170

and you can get 10 % off today.

171

So part one was excellent you answered every question and then developed it and We've already discussed this, but it did feel like a conversation.

172

It felt like we were getting to know each other rather than me peppering you with questions.

173

It didn't feel like an interrogation where you're trying to extract the language out of someone.

174

It just felt like getting to know you, which was excellent.

175

If you do that in the real test, you will be absolutely fine.

176

Bear in mind that not every examiner will be friendly.

177

Some of them are tired.

178

Some of them are just grumpy because that's the way they are.

179

They're not told to be friendly.

180

They're told to assess the test accurately.

181

Most of them will be friendly, but sometimes you get someone on a bad day and

182

it goes from them you feeling like this is a conversation to oh they don't want me to be here

183

if that happens just pretend i'm sitting there and pretend

184

that it's a

185

or pretend it's a friend you're talking to part two i thought was excellent you you talked you clearly stated

186

I was thinking of doing this.

187

Here's the reason why I chose it.

188

Here's what happened after.

189

So it was definitely about the topic that you were asked to talk about.

190

You spoke for about 1 minute 35 seconds and then you realised, oh, It's not two minutes yet?

191

Did it feel like two minutes?

192

No, I actually misunderstood.

193

I thought you told me to stop, but I...

194

Oh, I apologize.

195

No, no, no, it was my mistake.

196

It was my mistake completely.

197

But I should have continued until there was a clear sign.

198

The way they will stop you is very clear.

199

It'll be, they'll take the card away or they'll be like this or they'll say, "Well, then that's the end of part two." You recovered very, very well.

200

You did exactly what you should have done, which was look down, find out what to talk about and then start talking again.

201

And you did that very well.

202

And you did have a little bit of audible pausing,

203

but that was natural when somebody stops you talking and then you have to talk again, so no problems there.

204

Part three, again, was very, very good.

205

It's unusual for me to say that part three felt like a conversation, It did.

206

Part three, because the questions are more like academically inclined,

207

sometimes it can feel like like a university seminar or something like that where, you know, what do you think about this?

208

I'm not saying it was bad in any way.

209

I'm just saying it was unusual, but it did feel like that.

210

I think that's a very, very good thing.

211

You did hesitate from time to time, but it was small.

212

And normally, bad hesitation where people, uh, is when somebody is trying to think of the correct grammar or the correct vocabulary.

213

That was not you at all.

214

Bad hesitation can also be if somebody is really overthinking something.

215

The example I use is Elon Musk.

216

If you actually watch interviews with him, he...

217

is very, his fluency is not good because he's thinking very deep.

218

He's wrestling with a lot of things.

219

You don't do that.

220

You are just pausing from time to time.

221

It's like, okay, I'm going to talk about this.

222

Then I'm going to talk about this.

223

So it's not unnatural pausing.

224

It is very natural pausing, which is fine.

225

Let's talk about your scores.

226

There's one thing that I'm a little bit concerned about and then the others I'm not concerned about at all.

227

Let's talk about the things that I'm not concerned about.

228

Your vocabulary is a real strength.

229

For example, when in part two you were talking about changing degrees, you were saying I shifted my focus, I don't regret it, not even one bit, I was really enamored with it.

230

These are very, very advanced ways of describing things and you not only did that accurately, which is very difficult.

231

You did it appropriately.

232

To say something like, I don't regret it, not even one bit, that is very, very advanced.

233

None of those words are advanced, but together.

234

is amazing because only native English speakers or very high level English speakers who've lived in the UK would be able, because you've heard that quote, I don't regret it, not even one bit, you know.

235

It's not something that would be taught in textbooks.

236

I'm not saying something like, I love the UK, I was enamored by the UK.

237

Excellent.

238

And most of your answers had that type of vocabulary in there.

239

Not every sentence had something like that, but you don't need to do that to get a band nine.

240

was it was very appropriate when you were doing that. So excellent.

241

Well done.

242

Awesome.

243

Thank you.

244

You did make some little slips every now and again.

245

Act on a rash?

246

I think you made, I acted rashly?

247

Or what were you trying to say?

248

I think you said I acted on a rash.

249

I might have.

250

What was I trying to say?

251

It was a bit rash.

252

It was a bit rash.

253

I acted on a limp.

254

Maybe that's what I was trying to say.

255

On an impulse?

256

Impulse probably.

257

That was the only thing I picked up on.

258

That was an obvious error.

259

But to get band 9, you can make little slips like that and still get a band 9.

260

If you were making that every few sentences, you were making a little error like that, you wouldn't be able to get one of the higher scores.

261

Or if every sentence had an or every other sentence had an issue like that.

262

But that was the only one that I heard.

263

There might be more that I didn't pick up on.

264

But it's very...

265

The fluency of your errors is very, very low.

266

So that's an indication that you're at a very, very high balance score.

267

Fluency and coherence, excellent.

268

Your fluency is very natural.

269

Your pausing is very natural.

270

It does happen from time to time, but it is absolutely fine.

271

Your coherence is very good.

272

You're answering the questions, you're developing your answers.

273

Your pronunciation is the thing that I'm a little bit concerned about, but not what you would think.

274

Can you guess what I'm going to say?

275

So my pronunciation, I think where it stands is that it's a bit of a mixture between...

276

I'm not talking about accent.

277

Oh not accent pronunciation, no enunciation.

278

Exactly.

279

So sometimes your voice is extremely low.

280

So for example, when you said the word "matcha"...

281

I'm not a big Fan of matcha?

282

I just about got that.

283

Because you barely breathed it out of your mouth.

284

So a lot of...

285

The story of my life.

286

A lot of people have this issue.

287

I used to have this issue when I was a child.

288

So even when I was speaking English, people couldn't understand me because I was very shy.

289

So I would speak low because I didn't have the confidence.

290

I didn't want people to hear because I was afraid of being criticized.

291

So I would speak inside my mouth.

292

I've obviously got over that.

293

But how I do that is, or how you could do that.

294

The examiner will probably not be this close.

295

They'll probably It differs from test center to test center, but it could be this close.

296

It could be a little bit farther back.

297

Imagine I'm sitting at the wall and speak to me as if I'm speaking at the wall.

298

That will force you to enunciate and to say your words.

299

It's just a volume issue.

300

You're not doing what a lot of people do, which is speak like really speaking inside your mouth, which affects pronunciation.

301

Your pronunciation is actually perfect.

302

It is literally the volume.

303

a little bit, but have you got that feedback before?

304

- Yeah, that's why I said story of my life.

305

That's something that I get very often.

306

It probably is.

307

I don't know if it makes sense to say that I was born this way, but it probably is like a force of habit, I think, that I speak very low anyways, on a day -to -day basis.

308

So yeah, good to know.

309

- What the examiner will be thinking is, for pronunciation, can I understand what she is saying.

310

Can I understand each word?

311

I could understand every single word, but you never know on test day two things could happen.

312

Number one, you could be farther away from the examiner, that often happens, and they won't be able to hear you.

313

They won't really consider that, oh, that's a volume issue or that's a confidence issue

314

because they can't ask you about that the way we're talking about it.

315

They'll just consider that a pronunciation issue.

316

I'm not saying you need to for your life in general, I'm just saying for that 15 minutes of the test,

317

speak through the back of their head.

318

Don't give them any chance.

319

to give you a lower score.

320

Your pronunciation is great.

321

Every single word I can understand.

322

And the great thing about your pronunciation is you don't sound British or American.

323

You're not trying to fake an accent or anything like that, which I think is great.

324

You can tell you're from Morocco, you've learned English and it's very, very clear.

325

All right.

326

So, and that's excellent.

327

And you're also using good intonation and sentence stress, like your voice is naturally going up and and just speak to them.

328

Any questions about that?

329

Well the thing is for certain people sometimes who have a naturally low voice, sometimes trying to kind of almost force

330

that little bit of a louder voice can be a little bit distracting

331

and it can be a little bit sometimes even affect the way you pronounce certain words, how do you get around that?

332

That is an excellent question.

333

I know what you mean because our brains are not good at multitasking.

334

So our brains are not good at thinking, have I answered the question?

335

How's my vocabulary?

336

How's my grammar?

337

And on top of that, Am I speaking?

338

at a volume where he or she could hear me.

339

The way I teach is we want to actually stop you thinking as much as possible.

340

The fewer things you think about, the better your score is going to be.

341

Whenever you're speaking to your friends or your family, you're not thinking at all.

342

That is when you are most fluent.

343

That is when your language is at its best because you're not conscious.

344

We want you speaking kind of subconsciously.

345

You're not consciously thinking about what to say.

346

So I understand your point.

347

because we if you're consciously thinking about volume, that could affect your ability to answer the question, your grammar, your vocabulary.

348

If I could devise It would be there are decibel monitors on phones.

349

So you could speak naturally and practice and it will monitor the decibels and it will give you instant feedback, whether you are speaking too low.

350

And then if you practice it like that, then you'll get used to it.

351

And it's like anything.

352

It's like learning how to drive a car.

353

At the start, you have to think gears, mirrors, after 10 years, you don't think about it at all same with riding a bike

354

so get to the point where you're always at a certain decibel level

355

and then you won't have to think about it okay perhaps the way

356

that i'll do it next is imagine

357

that i'm with my family outside near a construction site

358

and they'll just speak very loudly i think

359

that could help just to give you a little bit of confidence it's it's like a few words out of 15 minutes.

360

It's not a huge problem.

361

It's the one thing that I think you can improve.

362

Overall, I think you're at a bad nine.

363

Okay, awesome.

364

But I'm thinking of what would possibly drop you down that would be the only thing based on what I heard today.

365

Okay, thank you.

366

I'll work on that.
