Yes.
74
All right, your one minute time is over and you can start speaking right now.
75
Sure.
76
Well, one time what actually helped someone in need was through a charity group I volunteered with.
77
The name of the group was Helping Hands.
78
The person I assisted was a homeless man, and his name was John actually,
79
who was struggling to find stable housing and employment.
80
This situation aroused during a community outreach event organized by a charity group When we actually provided food,
81
clothing and resources to those in need, John approached our booth looking quite lost and disheartened.
82
You know, he actually shared his story about how he had fallen in hard times after losing his job
83
and how difficult it was for him to get back on his feet.
84
I took the initiative to sit down with him and listen to his concerns.
85
I also, at the same time, I helped him fill out forms for local shelters and,
86
you know, job replacement services services.
87
After that, I actually provided him with a care package that included food,
88
hygiene products, and information available in the area.
89
After that, I felt a deep sense of fulfillment and gratitude.
90
Perfect.
91
And did you investigate his feeling?
92
Of course, you said that you felt a sense of accomplishment
93
but what about John did he feel like he was satisfied
94
by your help well John was quite happy about this you
95
know he was actually feeling he was relieved after having a
96
you know a lot of time you know facing difficulties
97
and predicaments in So he was relieved and he was thinking that a new chapter in life is actually opening for him.
98
And do you think that people should be grateful of others' help?
99
Well, yes, you know, that actually,
100
it creates a huge sense of fulfillment inside you and, you know.
101
Encourages you to go ahead and go on with more such acts of kindness.
102
Thank you so much.
103
That's the end of part two.
104
Let's, of course, please hand me back the piece of paper and the key card as well as the pen.
105
Thank you so much.
106
Let's move on to the third and the final part.
107
We've been talking about a time when you help someone in need.
108
Now, I'd like to ask you some questions related to this.
109
Why do people help each other?
110
Why do people help each other?
111
Well, people help each other out of empathy and compassion.
112
Many feel a moral obligation to actually assist those in need.
113
as it strengthens community bonds and fosters a sense of belonging, I think.
114
And do you think people nowadays are less willing to help others compared to the past?
115
Well, less willing, I can say I don't think people are less willing to help today.
116
You know, while modern life can be fast-paced, many actively engage in charitable activities,
117
activities, you know, often using social media to mobilize support for various causes, I think.
118
All right.
119
And should schools teach students the importance of helping others?
120
The importance of helping others in schools?
121
Well, yes.
122
You know, schools should actually teach the importance of helping others,
123
instilling values of empathy and social responsibility helps shape actually compassionate individuals
124
and creates a more caring society, I believe.
125
And in your opinion, do people help others for selfish reasons sometimes?
126
Well, selfish reasons?
127
Well, yes.
128
Sometimes people help others for selfish reasons, like wanting to feel good or improve their reputation.
129
However, the positive impact of their actions is what really matters most of all.
130
And how do governments and organizations encourage people to help others?
131
Governments and organizations can encourage helping others through awareness campaigns,
132
providing incentives like tax deductions for donations and creating volunteer opportunities
133
that make it easy for people to get involved in these actions.
134
Thank you very much.
135
This is the end of the speaking test.
136
Now you can relax and please give me a couple of minutes to review how you did
137
and I'll get back to you with the feedback and your overall band score.
138
Do you want to know what band score you'll get in the IELTS speaking test?
139
Perhaps you want to improve your performance and prepare yourself for the real test?
140

141

146

147
Usually if you have very different things, this is the last time we're going to talk about the exam day.
148
You should make sure...
149
Okay, this is the last time I'm going to talk about...
150
You can pay to us.
151
How to do it.
152
How to do it.
153
For our generation.
154
Let's turn it out in a movie and talk about what they need to do for and film.
155
So, you know, we're talking about...
156
.. movie and cinnamon, cinnamon for death.
157
Welcome back.
158
Sure.
159
I did review your performance, and honestly, congratulations.
160
Sure, thank you.
161
You were spot on.
162
You were wonderful in how you handled different answers correctly and beautifully.
163
Of course, as you know, there are four band descriptors for the IELTS speaking test.
164
fluency and coherence, lexical resource or vocabulary, grammatical range and accuracy and pronunciation.
165
So let's start with fluency and coherence.
166
You are both fluent and coherent.
167
You were able to speak at length about both familiar and unfamiliar topics.
168
You were able to express your thoughts clearly with clarity and of course you were able to express your opinions about
169
any given topic effortlessly, without the need to put any effort.
170
Of course, your responses were natural.
171
The way you developed different topics was amazing.
172
You gave and provided the answer.
173
Then, if you had time, you elaborated on the answer.
174
And that allowed me to understand you clearly and understand your thoughts clearly.
175
So there were some minor hesitations in your responses
176
but as long as those hesitations and even self repetition
177
and self correction there were few instances
178
but as long as they do not damage your overall response
179
and as we say as long as they do not impede communication it's completely
180
and absolutely okay of course
181
so as I said your responses were natural you did use some fillers and boosters or what we call filler words.
182
There were some instances of non-words and filler words but they did not damage your overall message.
183
So all in all your fluency and coherence was perfect.
184
The lexical resource was also amazing.
185
You did use a wide range of vocabulary.
186
Your word choice was spot-on and wonderful.
187
You provided answers and you did use some words and vocabulary to describe any situation and circumstance based on the given question.
188
So you did use some idiomatic expressions.
189
All of your words were relevant and to the point.
190
You did use relevant terminology.
191
Discourse markers were spot on.
192
You did use some collocations.
193
So the collocations, the way you use different words
194
and combine different words to each other based on the context was really wonderful.
195
You said, for example, stay organized.
196
You say mindfully and you did say immerse themselves in reading books.
197
You did say diverse taste and different genres when referring to your interest in some certain books so
198
yeah so you you were also uh amazing
199
and you did a very great job in the lexical resource moving on to grammatical range
200
and accuracy i did not spot any issues with
201
that you were error free you were able to use simple structures
202
and complex structures at the same time the verb tense and the verb subject agreement was spot on.
203
You did use some subordinate clauses and conditional clauses beautifully.
204
So you were error-free.
205
You were able to talk about different timeframes, about the past, the future, and simple and present tense,
206
of course, with a great command of grammar.
207
The final part is pronunciation.
208
You were, again, wonderful.
209
You did a very great job.
210
You were easily understandable.
211
the articulation of the words was great you did pay attention to stress patterns you did
212
regard those patterns and stress patterns based on any given context you had
213
that stress on different sentences and different words the ups
214

Chi parla usa 15 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'd, I'm, we're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.

  • I suoni “th”: empathy /ˈɛmpəθi/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/

  • /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, grammatical /ɡɹəˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/, examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, tactile /ˈtæktaɪl/, compassionate /kəmˈpæʃənət/

Come esercitarsi con questo video

  1. Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
  2. Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come coherence, fluency, lexical.

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.
