1
Welcome to the IELTS speaking test.
2
In this first part of the test, I would like to get to know you better, so I'll be asking you some questions about yourself.
3
First of all, let's talk about bargaining.
4
What do you think of bargaining?
5
Well, I think bargaining is what most people do on a daily basis when they do some shopping.
6
And for me, having a good bargaining skill is an indicator of being good at you know balancing expenses
7
and calculating do Vietnamese people bargain yeah we absolutely do especially
8
when we go shopping at the market for clothes for example because you know unlike other big retail outlets
9
shops at the market normally don't have a fixed price for items
10
and they usually would mark up the price significantly two or three times higher in order to make profits
11
so in order to make a score a good deal people have to haggle a little bit
12
and how do you bargain well it's not hyperbole to say that i'm not able to bargain at all
13
Actually, sometimes I can't evaluate if an item is overly expensive.
14
It's just that I don't know how low I should go in order to reach a reasonable price
15
so that both parties are happy.
16
Now let's talk about studying mathematics.
17
Do you like math?
18
Absolutely no. I've had this deep -seated hatred for math ever since I was a little girl.
19
You know, I just realized that I don't have a knack for numbers and figures.
20
Is math difficult for you to learn?
21
A hundred percent.
22
I mean, back in school, I always found it hard to wrap my head around math problems because,
23
you know, maybe natural science subjects are not my forte.
24
Do you like to use a calculator?
25
Well, it actually depends.
26
If it's a complicated math problem or a situation
27
when I have to give an immediate response to an adding or multiplying of numbers,
28
I would definitely go for a calculator
29
but sometimes I do prefer to do mental arithmetic you know
30
because I I think at some point it helped me to train my brain muscle
31
so that I can have a sharper mind thank you let's move on to talk about happiness
32
so what do you do to stay happy well I have to admit that I'm a bit of a spontaneous person so
33
So there's no formula to happiness for me, but I actually feel good
34
when I hang out with my friends at our favorite coffee shop or eat good food and work out.
35
Can you stay happy all the time?
36
I don't know about other people, but for me, it's not possible for us to stay positive all the time because as adults,
37
you know, we have responsibilities to shoulder, we have relationships to maintain and personal problems to solve
38
so life gets in a way and that's why we may feel stressed out
39
and a little negative sometimes is it important to be happy definitely I mean there's no point in working
40
so hard going out and meeting a lot of people
41
but then at the end of the day you come home feeling drained
42
and empty and you may have no motivation to carry on with life
43
so it's really crucial that you find something fight joy in the things
44
that you do to keep going thank you now let's move on to part 2 of the test
45
I would like you to describe a time
46
when it was important to tell your friend the truth so
47
when i first looked at the topic card the very first time that sprang to mind was
48
when i was in uni a few years back
49
and the person i had to break the news to was
50
my bestie who basically grew up in the same alley with me
51
so as you can guess we go way back luckily at
52
that time we made it to the same college
53
so we made a promise to choose the same major so
54
that we both can go through all this uni's crazy assignments and projects together.
55
Needless to say, we were super excited.
56
And then after one year of study, we finally got to choose our major.
57
But I changed my mind as soon as I studied the curriculum carefully
58
because I realized that what we intended to choose didn't really suit me and that I wanted to go for another way.
59
At first, I was afraid to tell her the truth because I didn't want to break the promise with her
60
and I was also afraid that it would be a deal breaker for our friendship.
61
But on second thought, it would be unfair for her if I kept hiding the truth from her.
62
So I finally decided to break the news to her.
63
You know, contrary to what I expected, she wasn't mad at me at all.
64
Instead, she told me how proud she felt of me
65
because I could figure out what I want to do with my life
66
and that I would always have her love and support.
67
so the moral of the lesson here is
68
that you should never hide the truth from your loved ones
69
because they are the ones who will always willing to listen and understand you no matter what
70
thank you now let's move on to part three of the test in this part
71
i'll be asking you more general questions related to part two
72
so first of all do you think
73
we should tell the truth at all times well generally speaking it's advisable to tell the truth whenever you can
74
because the consequences of lines that lines bring about can be detrimental
75
but it's not always the case I mean you can also tell lines when you don't want hurt other people's feelings.
76
For example, when a girl wants to break up with her boyfriend,
77
she may come up with thousands of excuses like she doesn't have the time for the relationship
78
or that she want to focus on her future.
79
But in fact, what is going on is that she has a change of heart
80
but she just doesn't want to break the boy's heart how do you know
81
when others are telling lies I guess there's a variety of ways in
82
which we can spot if the person is telling the truth
83
or not and one of which is to listen to their tone of voice
84
because we have a tendency to speak in higher pitch
85
when we're telling lines so we may detect a person by their tone of voice
86
and another way is to maybe look at their facial expressions I mean
87
if the person is not an actor
88
or actress you may can always you may always see a like small changes in nuance of expressions
89
and that tells that proves that the person is not being honest
90
and why is it easier to tell the truth to strangers than to friends
91
or family well to my mind this can be attributed to a few reasons
92
but the most obvious one is
93
that it would be less embarrassing to tell strangers the truth especially your problems
94
I mean we always want to create an image of
95
that independent individual with strong mentality who can always manage things on our own
96
so sometimes we we may think that telling are the ones closest to us
97
that were in trouble is a sign of weakness and yeah that is one reason I can think of right now.
98
Thank you.
99
This is the end of the test.

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione

Chi parla usa 17 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come don't, didn't, doesn't. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

  • I suoni “sh” e “zh”: sharp /ʃɑɹp/, friendship /ˈfɹɛn(d)ʃɪp/, crucial /ˈkɹuː.ʃəl/, motivation /ˈmoʊ.tə.veɪ.ʃən/, facial /ˈfeɪ.ʃəl/

  • Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: math /mæθ/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, sharp /ʃɑɹp/, complicated /ˈkɑm.plɪˌkeɪ.tɪd/
  • /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: math /mæθ/, happiness /ˈhæpinɪs/, calculator /kæl.kjə.leɪ.tɚ/, actress /ˈæk.tɹɪs/, wrap /ɹæp/

  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come bargain, math, tone.

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.
