Give a detailed description of the animal.
16
Okay, so there's our question.

How are we going to describe this animal?
20
Well, we can use a lot.
21
We can talk about a lot of things, right?
22
We can talk about all of this.
23
Its size, color, shape, its age is the animal old?
24
Is it a baby animal?
25
Does it have special features?
26

28
Okay, we can talk about all these different things to give a good detailed description of the animal.
29
Okay, now if the situation is something else like a food
30
or a product or something like
31
that then you could you could use uh things like this you could talk about its smell
32
color texture substance is it uh bread is it meat is it cheese is it healthy is it unhealthy
33
is it fresh or is it stale is it cooked or uncooked okay there's so many different ways
34
we can describe an object or a food or an animal okay
35
so you just need to use your imagination and
36
and think about some of these things okay so here's the animal
37
so what are we going to say well we're not going
38
to talk about the picture okay we're not going to say in the background I can see some trees.
39
Okay, we're not going to do that in this question because that's a different question on the CELPIP exam.
40
Okay, that's where we have to describe a picture on the left side, on the right side, in the background, foreground.
41
Okay, I've made a few lessons on how to answer that question, so you can go watch those.
42
But in this question, we're just using descriptive words.
43
We're describing this animal with as much detail as we can.
44
Okay, so first, we're going to give a brief introduction to the situation.
45
Okay, so you could say, hi, I'm in Prince's Park right now,
46
and I see a very strange animal that might have escaped from the zoo.
47
Okay, that's just a very good short introduction to the situation.
48
Let's say the question asks you about a piece of furniture in a furniture store
49
and you have to call your wife or your husband and give a detailed description of that.
50
Okay, then you could just say, Hi, Mary.
51
I'm at the furniture store right now, and there's a very, really interesting,
52
strange-looking table here, but I think you might like it.
53
Then, after the introduction, you start describing the object with as much detail as you can, okay?
54
So, first, introduction.
55
Then, the introduction only takes like 5 or 10 seconds.
56
Then, you're going to give a detailed description, which is going to take, I don't know, maybe like 40 seconds?
57
Because this question is only a minute, right?
58
And you only have 30 seconds to prepare your answer.
59
So when you're thinking about it, just take a few notes.
60
Size, color, texture, smell.
61
Okay, so that way when you're speaking you can look down at your paper and say, oh yeah, what does it smell like?
62
How big is it?
63
Is it dangerous?
64
Or all of those questions.
65
You can just look down at your notes.
66
Okay, so after the detailed description then we're going to give just
67
a short conclusion okay you can just say at the end
68
of your call to the zoo you can say have you lost an animal like this okay
69
that would be a good conclusion so maybe like five seconds introduction five
70
or ten seconds conclusion and then in the middle you're going to be talking for like 40
71
or 45 seconds just all about the detail remember you need to give as much detail as you can okay
72
so let's take a look at this
73
and let's give it a try okay I'm going to have to answer this question
74
or to show you how I would answer this question So if you want to try first,
75
then click on the pause button right down there.
76
And then after you try, then you can listen to my answer to this question.
77
Okay, here's my stopwatch.
78
I'm going to start right now.
79
Hi, I'm in Prince's Park right now, and I see a very strange looking animal.
80
I think it may have escaped from the zoo.
81
It's a really big animal.
82
It's about the size of a lion.
83
It has four legs and a long tail.
84
And it has a very strange head.
85
Its head is a snake.
86
And it has a long forked tongue sticking out of its mouth.
87
And also it has a pretty long striped neck.
88
Now the front legs and the main part of its body are spotted like a leopard.
89
but the back legs and back of its body are just plain brown fur.
90
Now its feet are very strange.
91
It has the feet of a goat with split hooves.
92
The animal doesn't look like it's very aggressive, but it looks like it could be dangerous.
93
So I'm just wondering if you've lost an animal like this.
94
Okay, perfect.
95
That was a minute.
96
That was a minute long.
97
Okay, so that's an example of what I would say, you know, I described its head,
98
its tongue, its body, Spotted over here.
99
It's back legs.
100
Okay, it's feet Split hooves like a goat long tail.
101
Okay, so I think I got most of the detail In one minute.
102
How did you answer it?
103
Would you say anything different than I said?
104
Anyway, so so those are my tips for answering this question
105
Just start with a brief introduction and then give lots of detail, then just a brief conclusion.
106
Now you can practice this at home.
107
Just practice describing any objects around your house.
108
What do they look like?
109
What color?
110
What is their shape?
111
What is their size?
112
What is there?
113
Just any kind of descriptive words you can use.
114
I think if you practice doing that a lot at home, you're going to ace this question on the exam.
115
Okay, so let's do some homework.
116
I want you to do the same situation.
117
Okay, an animal has escaped from the zoo,
118
and you need to describe it to the person you're talking with at the zoo on the phone.
119
Okay, so you need to use as much detailed descriptive language as you can to describe this animal.
120
Now this kind of tail, this is called a forked tail.
121
Just like the snake had a forked tongue, this is a forked tail.
122
So anyway, let me know your answer down there in the comments
123
and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
124
Take care.
125
Thank you.

Contesto & Sfondo
Nel video "CELPIP Exam Sample Questions | Unusual Situation", l'insegnante affronta una domanda tipica del test CELPIP riguardante situazioni insolite. L'esaminatore chiede di descrivere un animale sconosciuto che si incontra nel parco. L'approccio alla descrizione richiede una buona padronanza dell'inglese parlato, e l'insegnante offre spunti utili su come organizzare le proprie risposte in un tempo limitato di un minuto. Utilizzare il shadow speech può rivelarsi un metodo efficace per migliorare la fluidità e la pronuncia.
Top 5 Frasi per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- “Ciao, sono al parco e vedo un animale molto strano che potrebbe essere scappato dallo zoo.”
- “Quale tipo di animale è questo?”
- “L'animale è di taglia grande e ha un colore unico.”
- “Posso descrivere le sue caratteristiche speciali.”
- “L'animale si muove in modo curioso.”
Guida Passo-passo per il Shadowing
Per affrontare la difficoltà del video e migliorare le tue capacità di imparare l'inglese con YouTube, segui questa guida di shadowing:
- Ascolta attentamente: Guarda il video più volte senza sottotitoli per abituarti al ritmo e alla pronuncia dell'insegnante.
- Ripeti ad alta voce: Utilizza la tecnica del shadow speak: ascolta una frase e poi ripetila immediatamente. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la pronuncia inglese e la tua confidenza.
- Fai una pausa e rifletti: Dopo aver ripetuto una sezione, prenditi un momento per pensare a come potresti descrivere un animale strano oppure un altro oggetto. Pratica mentalmente le descrizioni.
- Gioca con le descrizioni: Cambia le frasi che hai ascoltato, usando sinonimi e variazioni. Questo arricchirà il tuo vocabolario e ti permetterà di rispondere in modo più fluido durante un esame come il CELPIP.
- Rivedi e pratica: Riascolta il video e rifai l'esercizio di shadowing regolarmente. La ripetizione costante contribuirà a fissare le strutture e le frasi nella tua memoria.
Utilizzando queste strategie, potrai non solo affrontare le domande del test ma anche sentirti più sicuro nella tua comunicazione quotidiana in inglese.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have lost · I've made · you've lost |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are spotted · is called |
| Possibilità con “might / may” might/may + verbo — qualcosa di possibile ma non certo | might have · might like · may have |
| Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ing | start describing · practice describing · practice doing |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
