Let's talk about your daily routine.

Can you tell me about your daily routine?

When I first get up, I don't like doing anything high maintenance or too quick.

I like to take my time.

Once I wake up, I like to just be on my phone and then gradually get on from there.

Get up and do my skincare.

I start getting dressed and then go downstairs.

I make some coffee or tea, even matcha.

I love matcha.

So yeah, that's kind of my morning routine.

How's your routine changed since you were a child?

So growing up, I didn't really have a routine because when you're a child, you just do whatever.

But growing up, I came to realize that it's important to have like a set routine on what to do

and how to take care of yourself, how to maintain a better routine throughout the day.

So yeah, my routine has drastically changed throughout my life.

Is there anything you would like to add to your daily routine?

I would like to incorporate more of like meditation to just be able to ground myself when needed.

I haven't been able to do that as of recently, but I would like to incorporate that in my routine

because I think it's important to just be able to have that minute to yourself and just feel grounded.

Let's talk about flowers.

Have you ever received flowers as a gift?

Yes, I have.

Actually, recently I did receive flowers and I can't talk enough about flowers.

I love everything about them, like the variations that you find, the different types and colours,

as simple as like roses to, let's say, tulips.

I love everything about them.

On what special occasions do people give flowers in your country?

From where I'm from, they usually use flowers for say birthdays or weddings.

And flowers are just common to receive, especially here with my friends.

We usually like gift each other flowers for each other's birthdays or even just like a normal, like a thank you.

Like just to show appreciation to a person.

What kind of flowers would you like to receive as a present?

So I've never received sunflowers.

And when I was a kid, just looking at sunflowers, I was always amazed by how they look.

And I would want to like touch one because I've never like seen how it looks like in real life.

I've only seen it through pictures.

So I would like to receive sunflowers.

Now let's talk about food.

Do you enjoy cooking?

I don't personally cook for myself just because I wasn't really into cooking.

I do however like baking.

I like to bake desserts.

I like to make, let's say cake, chocolate cake or cookies.

Whenever I feel bored at home and there's literally nothing to do, I find myself grabbing the ingredients in the cupboards or just baking.

It's really fun and just the hard work that I put into it versus the aftermath, I feel like it's worth it.

Do you think that you have a healthy diet?

Personally, I don't think that I have a healthy diet.

I usually eat whatever is available.

I try to be mindful of what I put into my body,

especially because how I see people develop some issues with the food that they take.

And especially because as I'm growing older, my metabolism is going to be different.

So I try to be aware, but usually my diet isn't that great.

How often do you order food online?

I usually order, I would say, about two to three times a week.

Other than that, I would just eat at home.

I would actually very much prefer homemade food rather than ordering online.

When there's nothing to eat at home, I tend to gravitate towards ordering through the app, fast food.

Now let's talk about movies.

What are the advantages of seeing a movie in the cinema?

I would say the advantages of seeing a movie in a cinema would be

that you get to watch it as soon as it comes out.

You get to watch it in a bigger screen instead of just staying at home

and watching it through your laptop or TV.

I don't think there's a lot of advantages in my opinion, but I really like the experience.

let's say if you're watching it in terms of like I'm through IMAX that experience is really nice

because of how the sound system is it's it's a really nice experience do you like watching movies alone

or with other people so

when it's like a like an indie film I like to watch it alone

because I feel like that's not everyone's cup of tea.

But with psychological thrillers or horror movies especially, I love watching it with other people because I cannot stand watching it alone.

I get really scared when it's horror films.

So having a company with you, it's much better.

So last year, my mom, who usually prepares the meals at home, she was away for vacation.

So I was in charge of cooking the food at home.

I learned to prepare this meal, which was pasta arrabbiata.

It's very simple to some people, but from a perspective where I've never really cooked anything at home,

it was like a big step for me.

I learned this recipe online.

Like I just skimmed through a random website and I started following the recipe.

And I actually had a bit of help from my cousin.

The reason why I chose this food to prepare was because my dad really enjoys pasta erbiata.

He wouldn't eat any other type of pasta except for some reason.

It doesn't have any meat.

It's just literally pasta and sauce.

And it was pretty quick.

When I started preparing it, it didn't take me that long,

which I liked because I hate spending hours in the kitchen just waiting to cook meat, to eat something.

I think that takes the fun out of cooking because I just want it quick.

The part that I liked about the meal that I prepared was that it was quick,

but also at the same time it was very delicious.

I added organic tomato.

I used not like the canned sauce.

I made it from scratch, so that's what I enjoyed about it.

So we've been talking about food and we're going to continue to talk about cooking and working in the food industry.

Do you think it's important for children to learn how to cook?

the video

so i love the idea where kids grow up in a

household where they learn how to cook personally i've never i

i was never taught how to cook properly just to prepare like

100

random dishes small dishes like oh putting the the cheese on the plate because in um arab cuisines

101

you will find like these tiny dishes spread out like a cold mezze.

102

So it's just like tiny appetizers and that's how I learned to prepare the breakfast table.

103

But I would personally teach my kids how to cook

104

if I learned it myself because I feel like learning that from a young age could benefit further future.

105

Do you think that high school children should learn to cook at home or at school?

106

I never heard anyone cooking at school honestly but I think at home would be much preferable because you have everything there.

107

The ingredients, it's already in the kitchen.

108

And especially because, let's say, a parent could help guide you on what to use, what not to use, what to stay away from,

109

and what goes with what.

110

So you can test out what is suitable for your liking.

111

Now let's talk about working as a chef.

112

Do you think it would be enjoyable to work as a professional chef?

113

From my knowledge, I've only seen professional chefs, let's say in cooking shows or in Hell's Kitchen.

114

So I think it's a very tiring job, especially because if you have like,

115

let's say, 20 people coming in at the same time ordering different meals, it's going to be a very tough job

116

or tough on you to be a professional chef trying to keep up with different meals.

117

What if you mess up?

118

Like you never know.

119

So yeah, I don't think it's an easy job.

120

131

So the influence that celebrities, celebrity chefs have on ordinary people,

132

I believe is great because of how they add their personal touch into a dish.

133

Gordon Ramsay, I know that he is known for his filet mignon, I think.

134

And the way he prepares it, he wants it to be perfect.

135

And I think that not everyone can achieve that at home.

136

But learning through what he does can make them very intrigued to make this dish.

137

That's the end of the speaking test.

138

Well done.

139

Thank you so much.

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.
