1
Oooooh!
2
This guy is going to take the CELPIP exam.
3
And he's studying for task 2 of the speaking test, which is a personal experience.
4
He has to talk about a personal experience.
5
Do you know how you should answer this question?
6
Well, in this lesson, we're going to look at how you should answer this question.
7
And hey, he's using my book to study for the exam!
8
I'm so happy about that.
9
I'm really excited.
10
Thank you so much to everyone who's bought my book.
11
It's a real honor to be able to help you prepare for your CELPIP test.
12
If you want to pick up a copy of my book, you can just go to my website,
13
metv.cool, and you can just download a PDF copy of my book right on my website.
14
Okay, so let's take a look at task two.
15
Personal experience, you have 30 seconds to prepare and 60 seconds to speak.
16
Okay, so we're going to take a look at one of the questions from my book.
17
It says, talk about a time you made a change in your lifestyle.
18
What was the change and how did it affect your life?
19
Talk about a change you made in your lifestyle.
20
What was the change and how did it affect your life?
21
Okay, so let's take a look at some of my tips, right?
22
First I say, if you can think of a personal example from your life, that's great.
23
But if you can't think of one immediately, then just make something up.
24
For example, you could talk about changing your diet.
25
Or you could talk about changing anything in your life, okay?
26
So, when you answer this question, you should tell a story.
27
Most stories start with a time reference.
28
Like, last year, three years ago, six months ago, I...
29
Right?
30
That's how stories start.
31
They start with a time reference.
32
Okay, in your first sentence, you should say what the change was that you made in your lifestyle.
33
Okay?
34
Then, in the rest of the sentences, you'll talk about how it affected your life.
35
Okay?
36
Then you're going to give some reasons
37
or tell some stories about how it really changed your life or how it impacted your life.
38
Okay?
39
Now, remember, use past tense verbs.
40
You have to remember to use past tense verbs.
41
This is so important.
42
I know a lot of languages don't have past tense verbs.
43
So it's very hard.
44
If you make a few mistakes, you know, that's okay.
45
But generally you need to use past tense verbs when you answer this question.
46
Okay, so I'm going to give you an outline of exactly how you should answer this question.
47
Okay, so remember when you see task two on the speaking part of the test, just follow the outline I'm going to give you
48
and you'll do fine okay
49
so the first thing you need to do is you need to give a time reference okay
50
so you could say so three years ago okay very often when native english speakers start telling a story
51
they use the word so.
52
So three years ago I was skiing and I broke my arm.
53
Okay.
54
Or you could say when I was in college I blah blah blah.
55
Last week I went to a party at my friend's house.
56
Okay.
57
So you always have to start with a time reference.
58
Then after the time reference you're going to give your short introduction phrase like this.
59
I broke my leg.
60
So three years ago, I broke my leg while I was skiing down a mountain.
61
Okay.
62
Then you're going to tell the story.
63
You're going to talk about your experiences.
64
Okay.
65
So you need to tell your story using past tense verbs.
66
Like I said that already.
67
Went, studied, ate, anything that's related to your story, you're going to use past tense verse.
68
Now, here's an important thing I want to mention.
69
Okay, your voice, your tone of voice should match the mood of the story.
70
I mean, is it a happy story?
71
Is it, is it, you know, a frustrating experience that you're talking about?
72
You know, one of the questions in my book is talk about a frustrating experience you had in the workplace.
73
So you need to think of a frustrating experience you had
74
and you need to sound frustrated when you're thinking back about that experience.
75
Okay, you might say, so three years ago I worked at this one company and
76
I had a co-worker and that co-worker just drove me up the wall.
77
Drove me up the wall.
78
That means really irritated me, frustrated me.
79
Okay, so your voice needs to sound frustrated.
80
You can't say, three years ago, I had a very frustrating experience at my workplace.
81
my boss was really mean to me and I you can't sound happy
82
if it's a frustrating experience you have to sound sad
83
if it's a happy experience you have to sound happy
84
if it's exciting
85
if it's a you know just all these different kinds of
86
emotions you need to to use emotion in this answer the person who's listening to you should get the feeling
87
that you are remembering the experience.
88
Okay, so then at the end you're just going to give a short conclusion.
89
It's just one little short sentence.
90
That's it.
91
Okay, you could say, anyway, that was a really frustrating experience for me.
92
Okay, now most of the time when native English speakers are going to stop their story,
93
or when they're going to conclude their story, they use the word anyway.
94
We use that a lot.
95
That word signals the end of our story.
96
Anyway, that was a really frustrating experience for me.
97
Anyway, that was the best Chinese food I ever ate in my life.
98
Anyway, that was a really fun party.
99
Anyway, I'm never going to forget that.
100
That was such a fun trip.
101
Anyway, okay, so that's a good word to use when you're going to end your story.
102
Okay, so let's take a look at this question.
103
So talk about a time you made a change in your lifestyle.
104
What was the change and how did it affect your life?
105
What would you say?
106
Well, I'm going to share my answer with you right now.
107
But first I just want to teach you these vocabulary words that I'll use in my answer.
108
Okay, night owl.
109
A night owl is someone who stays up late.
110
They don't go to bed early.
111
Okay, an early bird is someone who wakes up early.
112
So if you wake up at like 5 a.m every morning, you're an early bird.
113
If you go to bed at midnight or after midnight, then you're a night owl.
114
Okay, impact.
115
Something has an impact on you.
116
That means how it influences your life.
117
What effect it has on your life.
118
Okay, crisp means cool.
119
Chirping, that's the sound birds make.
120
Chirping.
121
Refreshing.
122
Refreshing.
123
Okay, that means it makes you feel fresh.
124
Remember, you don't need to use lots of big words in your answer.
125
Just try to use natural words.
126
These are some words that a native speaker would use in this situation.
127
Okay, so I say this a few times throughout my book.
128
Look, don't try to use really advanced words and phrases.
129
Then you're going to get caught up in your answer.
130
Your answer is going to be really disjointed.
131
You know, sometimes when I was practicing helping people prepare for the CELPIP exam,
132
they would just use the most advanced words and phrases.
133
And honestly, the way I would answer these questions is much simpler than the way most students would answer them.
134
I just use very, very basic words, simple words, but natural words.
135
So try to use natural words.
136
These are just normal words that a native English speaker would use in this situation.
137
Okay, so here's my answer.
138
When I was in college, I had to take early morning classes.
139
The classes started at 7am, which meant that I had to wake up at 5.30.
140
That was a big change for me because I had to start going to bed earlier.
141
It was hard to make this change because I've always been a night owl.
142
I like staying up late and watching movies and chatting online, but this change really had a positive impact on my life.
143
After a few months of early mornings, I really fell in love with the new schedule.
144
I felt less tired than I used to.
145
It was so refreshing breathing the crisp morning air as I walked to school.
146
I loved hearing the birds chirping and seeing the sunrise.
147
Even though I don't have to wake up early anymore, I still do it because I've grown to love it.
148
Nowadays, I'm an early bird.
149
Okay, nowadays I'm an early bird.
150
So there's just my conclusion.
151
You don't need to use anyway.
152
You can just say this.
153
Nowadays, I'm an early bird.
154
You could say, anyway, that was a change I made in my lifestyle.
155
Anyway, that was a very positive change I made in my lifestyle a few years ago.
156
You know, you can say whatever you want, just a short conclusion is really nice.
157
If you don't have time for a conclusion, you know, I don't know how many marks they'll take off if you don't have a conclusion,
158
but it's better to have a short conclusion in your answers on the CELPIP test.
159
Okay, so I'm going to give you some homework.
160
I want you to talk about the worst food you've ever eaten.
161
What is the worst food you've ever eaten?
162
Now remember, this is just simple.
163
Follow my strategy.
164
What are you going to do first?
165
You're going to have a time reference.
166
What are you going to do next?
167
You're going to have your simple introductory phrase.
168
Okay.
169
So, three years ago, I went to a restaurant here in Calgary.
170
There I have my time reference and my introductory phrase.
171
And then I just tell my story using past tense verbs, using some emotion to talk about why the food was so bad.
172
And then I conclude by saying, anyway, that was the worst food I've ever eaten in my life.
173
Okay, so I think if you follow these tips for this question, I think you guys are going to do really well on the self-tip test for this question.
174
I think this is one of the easiest questions on the test, but you have to remember you have to use past tense verbs
175
and try to use the emotion that you would have experienced back when you experienced whatever happened.
176
Like if you're sad, sound sad, angry, sound angry.
177
Okay, anyway, what do you think?
178
Do you think you'll do well on this question on the test?
179
Let me know your answer to this down there, and I look forward to reading about all the terrible food you've eaten in your life.
180
Okay, I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
181
Take care.

Contesto e Sfondo
Il video discute la preparazione per il Task 2 del test CELPIP, che si concentra sulla descrizione di un'esperienza personale. L'oratore condivide la sua emozione nel vedere gli studenti impegnati nello studio e l'importanza di prepararsi adeguatamente per questo tipo di esame. Attraverso l'analisi di domande specifiche e suggerimenti pratici, si mira a guidare gli studenti nel miglioramento delle loro abilità oratorie.
Le 5 Frasi Chiave per la Comunicazione Quotidiana
- “Last year, I...” - Un modo per iniziare a raccontare una storia personale con un riferimento temporale chiaro.
- “I made a change in my lifestyle...” - Questo è il cuore della risposta, dove l'oratore espone il cambiamento significativo.
- “It affected my life by...” - Utilizzato per spiegare come il cambiamento ha avuto un impatto reale sull'esistenza quotidiana.
- “For example, I...” - Ottimo per introdurre esempi specifici che possono arricchire la narrazione.
- “I realized that...” - Una frase utile per riflessioni personali che mostrano come il cambiamento abbia influenzato la crescita personale.
Guida Passo-Passo al Shadowing
Per affrontare con successo il Task 2 del CELPIP, è essenziale seguire un approccio ordinato e strategico. Ecco una guida passo-passo che può aiutarti:
- Fase 1: Preparazione Temporale - Inizia dando un chiaro riferimento temporale. Potresti dire, “Tre anni fa...” per contestualizzare la tua storia.
- Fase 2: Descrizione del Cambiamento - Specifica il cambiamento che hai fatto nella tua vita. Questo non solo rivela il tuo argomento, ma serve anche da punto di partenza per il tuo discorso.
- Fase 3: Racconto degli Effetti - Parla di come questo cambiamento ha influenzato la tua vita. Usa verbi al passato per mantenere la coerenza temporale.
- Fase 4: Fornire Esempi - Integra storie o motivazioni che illustrano l'impatto del cambiamento. Questo rende la tua risposta più personale e coinvolgente.
- Fase 5: Revisione Finale - Prima di presentare la tua risposta, rivedi mentalmente il tuo discorso per assicurarti che scorra bene e che utilizzi vocaboli e frasi corretti.
Ricorda di esercitarti regolarmente utilizzando tecniche di shadowing. Leggi e ascolta frasi chiave, ripetendo ciò che ascolti, per migliorare la tua pronuncia e fluency. Questo metodo di shadowspeaks è ideale per affinare la pratica di conversazione in inglese e prepararti al meglio per il tuo esame. Visita un shadowing site per ulteriori risorse che possono supportarti nel tuo viaggio di apprendimento.
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 | I've always been · I've grown · you've ever eaten |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | test, which is · someone who stays · someone who wakes |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should answer · should tell · should say |
| Superlativi the -est / the most … — il massimo o il minimo di un gruppo | the best · the most advanced · the worst |
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.
