Do you like animals?
38
So much, especially dogs.
39
I had dogs in my life,
40
but my main issue was my mom.
41
So because she used to have allergy,
42
I used to take them back to my grandma.
43
At that time, I felt like I have a baby at home,
44
taking the dog for a haircut to the doctor.
45
I treat the dog like a baby.
46
Do you think that animals should be kept in zoos?
47
Definitely not.
48
It's not their place.
49
We created the zoo.
50
So no. It's their freedom.
51
You cannot put them in a cage where they have to sit there.
52
Or the birds.
53
It's not their place.
54
Their place is the sky,
55
is the forest, not the zoo.
56
Do you have any animals in your home as pets?
57
No, no. I used to have dogs,
58
but now no, because of the weather here.
59
I feel it's difficult to have a dog at home,

to take the dog outside for a walk in like 50 degrees.

So no, I would love to have, but no, not here.
62
Now let's talk about colors.

In your country, what are the most popular colors?
64
I can tell you about the color of the flag.

You know we don't have a specific color in the country.

The color of the flag is red, white and green.
67
My favorite color is black so I don't know.
68
We don't have a specific color in the country.
69
Do you prefer to wear dark colors or light colors?
70
Recently both.
71
Before I used to like dark colors more.
72
Maybe when I lost weight I switched to bright and light colors.
73
Do colors affect your mood?
74
Definitely.
75
If you live in a dark room,
76
you will feel like everything is dark.
77
That's why I like to have white walls, everything white.
78
You feel the house is bright and it reflects on you.
79
So I'll describe the house of my grandma.
80
So who lives there?
81
My grandma lives there.
82
And my grandpa used to live there.
83
Where the property is, it's in the mountain in Beirut, in Lebanon.
84
What it looks like?
85
It looks like a castle for me.
86
It's not a castle but for me it's like a castle.
87
We have a lot of memories there.
88
That's why I decided to talk about this house.
89
If you like it definitely I do.
90
I like this house as I mentioned because it reminds me of my childhood
91
and the best days we spent there and we're still spending when we go to see her.
92
We have a lot of memories we had good food she
93
used to cook a lot for us the house is simply like I feel like home I just love it
94
and especially
95
because it's an old house it's still the same till now
96
the second I enter the house I feel like I'm back to my childhood the memories comes back
97
so yeah as I told you it's a big and old house.
98
You know, the old houses you have the,
99
how we say it, the walls are like,
100
you feel like you're in a castle, but it's a house.
101
The smell of the nature, the garden, everything.
102
I like everything in this house.
103
So we've been talking about a house that you like,
104
and we're gonna continue to talk about houses.
105
Do you think it's better for people to live in an apartment or a house?

112
Thanks very much and let's get back to the video.
113
For me it's better to live in a villa than in an apartment
114
because when you have babies one he will wake up he will wake up the other one
115
so it's easier to live in a villa and or in a duplex to separate.
116
Do you think it's better for someone to buy a house or to rent?
117
It depends.
118
If the prices are high like now,
119
it's better to wait because they will go down.
120
So wait until you find the right time to buy.
121
But definitely, yes, I'm with the buying.
122
I'm not with the renting thing.
123
I feel like I'm losing my money.
124
Do you think that there is a certain age
125
when someone should move out of their parents' home and move into their own home?
126
For me it's like when I got married I moved.
127
We don't have this in Beirut like at the age of 18 we have to move
128
or we have to have our own apartment.
129
No, at the contrary I enjoy spending time with them.
130
So what I'm going to do now is give you some feedback.
131
We did one before and you've come back.
132

147
Your grammar is good.
148
Your vocabulary is good.
149
Your pronunciation is good.
150
We really focused on coherence and fluency in the last one.
151
Overall, your fluency and coherence was quite good.
152
At times you were searching for the correct word and that affected your line of thinking and you would maybe avoid that.
153
I think, again, you should not be afraid to paraphrase and explain the thing and say,
154
I don't know the word for this,
155
but explain what it is.
156
I think because you live in the Middle East,
157
you can often use Arabic words maybe and say,
158
well, in Arabic, it's this.
159
Yeah.
160
People will know, even English speakers would know what you're saying.
161
And of course more people here speak both English and Arabic and then French and things like that.
162
So maybe you're just not used to operating 100% in English.
163
Yeah.
164
And that could be an issue.
165
But overall, you did well.
166
One thing that you did in part two was you looked at the cue card and you just said,
167
who lives there?
168
Started talking about that, where it is, what it looks like.
169
Explain why you like it.
170
I'm answering the question.
171
You are very capable of not looking at this at all.
172
I didn't want to skip any questions.
173
Yeah, but you can skip them.
174
So this is just a guide to help you,
175
but a better way of doing it would be,
176
talk to me like I'm your friend or your colleague,
177
and just use this when you get stuck.
178
When people are looking down and looking at this and reading,
179
they sound less fluent.
180
What also happens is you are getting through each of these very quickly.
181
So then at the end,
182
when you had nothing else to talk about,
183
then you have to think a lot and that affects your fluency.
184
And then you repeat the same idea and everything.
185
So if you were doing the test again,
186
I would say just practice not using these too much.
187
And then part three, overall quite good,
188
but you generally just gave your own personal point of view.
189
So you So you just said, I think this.
190
A way of developing your answer a little bit more would be,
191
okay, so I think that buying a house is better because I don't want to give money away to landlords.
192
But I can see why some people would prefer to rent because there's a greater freedom with rent.
193
So if you rent a place,
194
you are not tied to that location and you can leave at any time.
195
So there's a lot of benefits to that.
196
But the drawback is you're wasting a lot of money.
197
you were giving very straight good answers outside of this test.
198
If you gave those answers, totally fine.
199
But because this is a test that they wanted you to develop your ideas and talk about what is going on,
200
that might hold you back a little bit.
201
There's nothing wrong with your English.
202
You gave a very interesting performance,
203
and I think it's very useful for people to see this video because it shows that someone could have very good English,
204
English, a very high level,
205
but they're not used to the format of the test and
206
that can lead to them getting a lower score than they believed that they were capable of.
207
Because IELTS is not just having great English,
208
it's learning the format of the test and giving the examiner what they want.
209
And you just have to learn that a little bit more.
210
It just comes down to practice.
211
a day of practice and you would be ready to get the score.
212
Amazing.

Guida Passo Passo per lo Shadowing
Per affrontare le difficoltà presentate in questo video, un approccio efficace è lo shadowing in inglese. Ecco una guida pratica:
- Ascolta attentamente: Prima di tutto, ascolta il dialogo senza alcuna interruzione. Fai attenzione alla pronuncia e all'intonazione.
- Ripeti ad alta voce: Inizia a ripetere le frasi subito dopo averle ascoltate. Questo ti aiuterà a migliorare la tua fluidità e a memorizzare le strutture grammaticali.
- Concentrati sulle emozioni: Prova a interpretare il tono e l'emozione del parlante. Non si tratta solo di imitare le parole, ma anche di esprimere sentimenti simili.
- Fai delle pause: Se una frase è troppo lunga, fai delle pause. Ripeti porzioni più piccole finché non ti senti a tuo agio con l'intera frase.
- Pratica regolarmente: La costanza è fondamentale. Integra il shadow speech nella tua routine quotidiana per migliorare costantemente.
Incorporando questi suggerimenti nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese, non solo migliorerai la tua pronuncia, ma anche la tua comprensione generale della lingua.
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.
