शैडोइंग अभ्यास: When a native English speaker takes the IELTS... - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

My name is Emily and I'm from Australia and I'm 32.

Do you have any idea what IELTS is?

No, I had not heard of it before today.

IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System

and a lot of Vietnamese people need to take the IELTS if they want to study or work abroad.

So I'll look at my phone to see the questions.

Let's start with the topic of happiness.

Okay.

So is it easy to make you happy?

Is it easy for me to be happy?

Yes, because I think if you look around your own life,

you will see things that you can appreciate.

And if you focus on those things,

there's always a reason to be happy.

What do you do when you are happy?

When I'm happy, I'm usually with my friends and family.

So spending quality time with the people who I love,

eating and drinking, that's when I'm happy.

And it makes me happy too.

What makes you unhappy?

Stress makes me unhappy when I feel overwhelmed with what's going on in my life

and I feel like I can't handle it on my own

that makes me unhappy because I feel stuck and I'm not sure where to go next.

So let's move on and talk about stars and planets.

Okay.

So did you learn about outer space and stars at school?

Yes but not in high school

because I didn't choose science subjects in primary school we did that's the extent of my knowledge

and do you think it's important to study about the stars?

I think it's interesting importance I'm not sure I'm not really a science person so I haven't found it necessary

but I think it's very interesting.

Alright, so let's move on and talk about a topic in part 2.

So in this part, you are going to describe a topic in 2 minutes.

And in the exam room,

you have 1 minute to prepare,

but we are going to skip that part.

And after that, you will be able to do a topic in two minutes.

Alright?

And in the exam room you have one minute to prepare,

but we are gonna skip that part.

Okay.

Alright?

And after that you will have to answer some questions related to that topic.

Okay.

So the topic is about describe something that you can't live without,

not a computer or phone.

You should say what it is,

what you do with it,

how it helps you in your life and explain why you can't live without it.

That's great.

Okay.

So I'm gonna give you some time to think about it.

Okay.

Does it have to be a physical object or just something?

Just something.

Okay.

All right.

Anything.

Ready.

Okay.

Very good.

And your time starts now.

Okay.

I can't live without human connection.

When I'm by myself for too long,

I get inside my own head,

I stress too much, I worry and human connection is good for me because it reminds me that I'm loved,

I'm important, I have something to say and

if I am worried talking it out with somebody else can really help me process it

and move forward and I even said before my happiest moments are with my friends

and with my family and so that human connection to me is what grounds me,

It keeps me going day to day and it builds my view of myself.

Has it been two minutes yet?

Just pause in five seconds.

Oh no!

You're a sophomore.

Okay, so for example, I'm here on holiday with my husband, Elliot.

And if I was here on my own,

sure, that would be beautiful things to see and I could appreciate it by myself.

but there's nothing like having someone with you to look together

and say whoa that's amazing what did you think of that

and being able to process all of those experiences with somebody

else rather than with yourself otherwise I would just be taking photos alone

and then sitting there thinking oh okay that was good

so having that connection with someone it helps me measure what I'm going through is this am I overreacting

or am I underreacting is this an okay emotional response it just keeps me even

and I know I'm progressing okay

and it's still not two minutes okay lastly lastly I'll say even in my work

so I'm a teacher and with my colleagues planning for classes marking work

that would be so so so hard to do on my own

and so having that assistance and supporting each other's strengths that's another way

that human connection is something I can't live without excellent I would have to say

that the way you express your thought is

so beautiful oh thank you thank you

that was harder than I thought to speak for two minutes I am a teacher

so I'm in front of students talking every day.

I'm often just talking whatever comes to mind.

100

Okay, so let's move on to part three.

101

Sure.

102

Alright, so why are children attracted to new things such as electronics?

103

I think children are curious about everything.

104

They don't have these already set or preconceived ideas about what's good and what's bad.

105

They just want to try things that are new,

106

especially things that are stimulating

107

for the mind and

108

so i think that's why they go straight there excellent why

109

do some grown-ups hate to throw out old things such as

110

clothes oh i think as we get older i'm not

111

that old yet

112

but as we get older perhaps those things are a reminder of our past a reminder of our youth

113

and so by holding on to those things maybe we think

114

that we're still holding on to that time in our life or we don't want to forget it,

115

so we keep those objects that remind us of that time rather than truly moving on.

116

We like to take those little bits of the past with us.

117

Usually I will stop here but i want to hear more from you

118

so that's more is the way people buy things affected now it's sorry say

119

that again is the way people buy things affected

120

and how affected yes affected how we consume things how we buy things affected by some factors nowadays

121

and how um oh i'm not really sure how to answer

122

that what would you say can you give me an example

123

of your answer I'm not sure I understand for example in the past we just bought what we really need

124

because we don't have that much money right yeah

125

but nowadays there are so many advertisements

126

and as well as the bank lend you the money yes

127

okay I completely agree I think well especially where where I'm from

128

and it's probably the same here as well um seeing all the time you know online

129

or through social media what other people are are having it

130

leads to this normalization of what everybody should be having

131

and I see it in my students all the time as well you know they're very young

132

but they really really want to have expensive sneakers and expensive clothes

133

and I'm thinking oh there's actually there's no need for that

134

but they think that's very normal because everybody everyone else they see online has

135

that but then we're all just telling each other that same lie

136

and so now we all have to have expensive sneakers

137

so I think that's yeah a way

138

that consumerism probably didn't exist 50 years ago

139

but it's very strong now last question what do you think influences people to buy new things oh

140

um okay I actually think one interesting reason is uh people are bored um

141

and so they get bored with the things that they already have

142

and so it just stimulates them for another few weeks to have something new

143

and they feel like it's something to talk about until they get bored again

144

and then they buy something else excellent answer

145

that is the answer the last question and uh thank you

146

so much for your time oh thank you

147

so much it was lovely to meet you your answers are so good oh thanks

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
