Hey, what's up?
2
It's Alex.
3
Today we're going to look at an IELTS sample answer to the question, what do you think are the differences between celebrities today and in the past?
4
Let's have a look.
5
I don't know if there are any particular differences, certainly not in looks or personality.
6
I don't know.
7
I don't know that T in don't disappears.
8
If there are any particular differences, particular.
9
We don't say particular.
10
It's per, per, particular differences.
11
And with differences, we don't say differences.
12
It's just differences.
13
Differences.
14
Certainly not in looks or personality.
15
Certainly.
16
Certainly.
17
That T becomes a glottal stop.
18
Certainly.
19
Certainly.
20
Certainly.
21
Certainly.
22
Certainly not in looks or personality.
23
Celebrity culture has probably been the same for a long time.
24
Probably.
25
We don't say probably, it's probably.
26
Has probably been the, been the, the N and TH connect.
27
Been the same.
28
Been the same.
29
For a long time.
30
For a are de-stressed, and so they just become for a.
31
For a long time.
32
For a long time.
33
Though I suppose, though I suppose today it does seem like there are more celebrities, and more of them are famous just for being famous.
34
Though I suppose, though I, there's a little bit of a wuh here, though I, though I suppose.
35
Today it does seem, does seem, that does, the z at the end, and the s in seem connect together.
36
It does seem like there are more celebrities, and more of them or famous just for being famous.
37
And more of them.
38
We kind of make this all one set phrase.
39
And more of them.
40
And more of.
41
The F in of and the D in and disappear.
42
And more of them.
43
And more of them.
44
And more of them.
45
And more of them.
46
And more of them.
47
If I speak carefully, that F in of will come back, and more of them, and more of them.
48
But you can see the D in and continues to disappear, even if I speak carefully.
49
More of them are famous just for being famous.
50
Just for.
51
Just for.
52
That T before the F disappears.
53
Just for.
54
It becomes an S.
55
Just for being famous.
56
There might be more people now who can be famous because of the proliferation.
57
There might be, might be, that T in might disappears.
58
It just becomes a glottal stop.
59
Might be, might, might be.
60
You can see my tongue isn't even touching the roof of my mouth.
61
Might be, might be.
62
My tongue is relaxed.
63
It's a glottal stop.
64
More people now, who can be famous?
65
Who can be?
66
These three words are de-stressed in the sentence, so they kind of slide together into one sound.
67
Who can be?
68
Who can be? who can be it's not can it's who can be who can be famous
69
because of that again the F disappears before th
70
because of the proliferation proliferation that's not a very common word
71
so when we use uncommon words in speaking we tend to slow down and not do as much connected reading.
72
Proliferation.
73
Proliferation.
74
Because of the proliferation of social media and television,
75
and television, and television that D and T connect, and television, even if they might not have been famous before,
76
might not have been.
77
Now, the H in have disappears here.
78
Might not have been.
79
If I speak really quickly, both the H and the V disappear.
80
Might not have been.
81
Might not have been.
82
But if I'm speaking in a more formal situation, I'll probably speak a little bit more carefully, enough to drop the H, but not enough to drop the V.
83
Not have been.
84
Not have been.
85
Might not have been famous before.
86
Famous people in the past probably needed some sort of unique gift to be able to attain fame.
87
Famous people in the past. In the.
88
The sounds connect together. In the.
89
In the past, probably, again not probably,
90
but probably, probably needed some sort of unique gift.
91
Unique gift.
92
Unique ends in a kuh sound, even though it's spelled Q-U-E.
93
Because it ends in a K and GIFT begins with a G, we connect those sounds together.
94
UNIQUE GIFT.
95
UNIQUE GIFT.
96
UNIQUE GIFT to be able to attain fame.
97
Now GIFT ends with T and TO begins with T, so those connect together.
98
UNIQUE GIFT.
99
UNIQUE GIFT to be able to.
100
Now, be able to, and in fact, to be able to, those reduce way down into to be able to,
101
to be able to, to be able to, to be able to attain fame.
102
Now, I added a wuh in between to attain, because attain starts with a vowel,
103
and to ends with a oo sound.
104
To attain fame, to be able to attain fame.
105
to be able to attain fame.
106
Whereas, that seems less important nowadays.
107
Important.
108
Important.
109
There's a glottal stop there and an N instead of a T.
110
Important.
111
Important nowadays.
112
I don't know if there are any particular differences, certainly not in looks or personality.
113
Celebrity culture has probably been the same for a long time.
114
Though I suppose today it does seem like there are more celebrities, and more of them are famous just for being famous.
115
There might be more people now who can be famous because of the proliferation of social media and television, even if they might not have been famous before.
116
Famous people in the past probably needed some sort of unique gift to be able to attain fame, whereas that seems less important nowadays.

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Questo video offre un'opportunità unica per migliorare la pronuncia inglese attraverso l'analisi delle risposte comuni date durante il colloquio IELTS. Frecce come "what do you think are the differences" e "celebrity culture" ti permetteranno di immergerti nel contesto della lingua parlata moderna. La pratica di conversazione in inglese è fondamentale per migliorare la fluidità e la confidenza, e questo video fornisce spunti pratici per rendere il tuo parlato più naturale.

Grammatica & Espressioni nel Contesto

Nel video, vengono utilizzate diverse strutture grammaticali e frasi chiave che possiamo analizzare:

  • “I don't know” - Questa espressione ricorre nella lingua colloquiale per esprimere incertezza. È un modo semplice per costruire conversazioni senza sentirsi intimiditi.
  • “Certainly not” - Uso frequente per rafforzare un'affermazione. Insegna come esprimere dissenso in modo chiaro ed efficace.
  • “It does seem like” - Questa frase è un ottimo esempio di come i parlanti nativi esprimono opinioni. Può aiutarti a formulare pensieri complessi durante le conversazioni.
  • “Famous just for being famous” - Un'espressione che sottolinea la nuova cultura dei VIP. È utile per descrivere fenomeni sociali in inglese.

Trappole di Pronuncia Comuni

Durante la visione del video, potresti notare alcune trappole di pronuncia tipiche. Ecco le principali:

  • Glottal Stop: La parola “certainly” perde la pronuncia della T, rendendola più fluida. Questo è un ottimo esempio di come la pronuncia naturale possa differire dalla forma scritta.
  • Risonanza di lettere: Parole come “and more of them” tendono a essere pronunciate in un flusso continuo, con le consonanti che si intrecciano. Praticare shadow speech può aiutarti a rendere il tuo parlato più fluido.
  • Diffusione dei suoni: Le consonanti come “F” in “of” e “D” in “and” possono scomparire quando parlate rapidamente. Focalizzarsi in shadowing in inglese ti aiuterà a mantenere l'attenzione su queste sfumature.

Incorporando queste tecniche nel tuo shadow speak, puoi migliorare notevolmente la tua capacità di conversare in modo naturale e fluido. Non dimenticare di esercitarti frequentemente! La ripetizione e la pratica sono la chiave per il successo nella pratica di conversazione in inglese.

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.
