Let's start off by talking about your daily routine.

Tell me about your daily routine.

Okay, well, I wake up around 8 a.m.

Every morning it's like clockwork.

And I brush my teeth, I wash my face, breakfast.

And then I get in my car and I drive to work.

And yeah, that's basically it.

I come back home and fix myself up some dinner and watch some Netflix.

Very average, mundane.

How has your daily routine changed since you were a child?

Not much, except I go to work now instead of school.

But I get a lot of free time over the weekends.

So I get to do the things I like to do, such as meditation and writing.

I love journaling.

I'd love to put out some novels one day.

I always thought that I would retire to the countryside in my old age with my animals and write books.

So yeah, so writing, yoga.

What else do I do on the weekends?

I want to try horse riding as well.

Is your daily routine different at the weekend compared to during the week?

Yes, 100%.

So the weekdays are for work mainly, being productive, paying the bills, and the weekends I get to do whatever I want to do.

So I really treasure and enjoy my weekends.

Let's talk now about dreams.

Do you dream much at night?

I do dream sometimes, but not very often.

And when I do dream, I don't tend to remember my dreams.

Do you think we can learn anything from dreams?

I think so.

I think there's lots of repressed emotions and stress that come out during our dreams that perhaps we haven't addressed in real life.

So yes, I believe we can learn quite a lot.

And I suppose some people can even, you know, predict the future through dreams or images that they see.

I'm kind of on the fence about that.

I don't know, but seems credible.

Now let's talk about email.

What kind of emails do you receive about your work?

I receive a lot of emails from my higher-ups, so my manager, people from other departments as well,

usually following up for things or scheduling meetings, just a lot of work that needs to be done and reminders to please do this work.

Do you normally reply to emails as soon as you receive them oh no um i don't because i feel like

there's no point in replying if the work hasn't been done so let's say we're supposed to schedule a meeting and something needs to be done

i'd much prefer to get that thing done and then respond by saying okay here it is here's the file

that you um that you requested that you asked for and um yeah instead of you know a random sort of hello well Well received, thank you.

Are you happy to receive emails that are advertising things?

No, I don't think anyone would be.

Unless it's for a brand that I follow or that I like, unless they're having a sale.

In that case, I'd be more than happy to receive their emails.

Now let's talk about exercise.

How often do you exercise?

Not as often as I would like.

I find the gym to be quite tedious and boring.

I prefer doing classes, but then to get myself to the class and sit through traffic coming back.

So I would love to work out a bit more frequently.

And I tend to like slower exercises such as yoga or swimming, something where I don't really have to break a sweat, which is not very realistic, but yeah.

What do you think is the best exercise to keep fit?

I've tried Pilates.

I think it's really good for toning the body and the muscles.

And you see a big difference.

It might not burn as many calories,

but you do see a huge difference in your silhouette so have the types of exercise people like to do changed since

you were a child i would say not really the types of exercises that people do i would say they just

don't exercise as much perhaps it's gone from cycling and tennis to dancing on tiktok i think that would be the main difference if I'm really honest.

Describe a time when you enjoyed visiting a family member or friends.

I went back to Taiwan last month and I stayed for about three weeks.

I was visiting friends and family but I don't really have much family in Taiwan, just my mum.

I've noticed that you know in life when you don't have a lot of family the universe brings you

friends and it might sound a bit cliche but friends really are the family that you know you've chosen and so I've now

moved away from Taiwan but when I was there made a lot of very very good I think lifelong friends who I

go back and visit periodically I visited Shirley I've been friends with her since I was 15 so that's about 15 years now so you can guess my age um Tiffany I've known her since I was 18,

Cyril, Eva, so I visited these friends in particular.

We just pretty much, not to sound boring, we just hung out and talked a lot, caught up a lot on life, what's been happening, who are you dating, you know, are you happy?

So there was a lot of that over wine or tea and I also went and visited Cyril's

new restaurant and he's been doing really really well for himself I'm very happy about that

we went and visited Jackie and found out that he was actually also back in Taiwan for his

wedding so we went to his wedding had a bit too much whiskey but that's okay we won't repeat that experience um it

was fun in in general it was a lot of fun um it was lovely to see Tiffany and Eva because they both had babies during the past one or two years.

And it was lovely to see them, yeah.

So we've been talking about people that you visited and we're going to continue to talk about family.

When do families celebrate together in your country?

Thanks very much and let's get back to the video.

Chinese New Year, that's a big one.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, that's also a big one.

celebration really is an excuse for the family to get together which can be a bit stressful at times because we all know how we feel about our families we love them but it's sort of a love-hate relationship because they can get on our nerves sometimes but oh well

why is it that some people might not enjoy attending family gatherings i think because

you know relatives especially get it in their heads that their family and so they think they can ask any questions you know when are

you going to get married that's the big one when are you going to have a baby why are you wasting your time so

that that can be a bit stressful because the whole point of you know being on vacation because now to see

my family I have to go on vacation and go back to my country to see them is to relax not to get stressed out so I

think a lot of people have the same experience now let's talk about everyday life in families do you think it is a good

thing for parents to help their children with their homework yes I think it's a very good thing I think it's important to have your mom or your dad present in your childhood it's very good for mental health,

so you don't need to see a therapist when you grow up.

How important do you think it is for families to eat dinner together?

Oh, very, very, very important.

It's important to feel that connection, because you could be people living in the same house.

If you don't communicate regularly, interact regularly,

what's the point of having a family what's the point of having you know your parents around then if they're not going to

100

be parents do you believe that everyone in a family should share chores yes i think

101

so i think uh that's very important however let's say if dad is out working most of the week then

102

maybe he doesn't need to do as many chores i know it might sound a bit sexist but it's really about distributing work evenly.

103

I'm now going to give you some feedback on your performance.

104

So I'm going to break the feedback down into part one, part two and part three.

105

And then I'm going to give you some band scores and your scores for pronunciation, fluency, grammar and vocabulary.

116

Part one, you did a great job with part one.

117

It was like talking to a colleague, talking to a friend.

118

You didn't really have to think much about the answers.

119

You didn't really have to think about the language you were using.

120

It was all very, very natural.

121

One thing, I don't think this is going to be a huge issue for you, but sometimes under pressure on exam day, some students do this and you do it a little bit, which is you list lots of things.

122

If you did that with too many answers, you're indicating to the examiner, I don't really know how to...

123

Construct a sentence.

124

Exactly.

125

Right.

126

Exactly.

127

So it is much better to pick one or two things and go deep on those things rather than go wide.

128

So going wide is just, you know, what's your favorite food?

129

I like pizza.

130

I like burgers.

131

I like sushi.

132

I like Thai.

133

I like it.

134

It's better to pick one of those.

135

I like Thai because, and explain why that is.

136

So that allows you to really show off your grammar, show off your vocabulary.

137

Because your grammar and vocabulary is amazing, we want to show that to the examiner.

138

I don't think it's going to be an issue for you.

139

But as I said, some people, when they're practicing, do amazingly well.

140

and then as soon as you, I call it test mode, as soon as they go into the test, they start to do these little weird things that are kind of defensive.

141

For someone like you, we don't want you to be defensive.

142

We want to show how good you are.

143

Part two, you had no problem talking about that.

144

You could have talked about that for many more minutes than two minutes.

145

And I have no feedback on that.

146

It was just really, really good.

147

Part three, you did develop your answers probably enough, but you could have developed them a little bit more.

148

You could have possibly shown the other side of things.

149

You talked about everything kind of from a personal point of view, which is good because you're very fluent when you do that.

150

Just remember part three is a discussion of ideas, so it's good to think, well, I really think this.

151

But I can sort of see why other people would think this way.

152

So for example, do you think it's a good idea for parents to help children with their schoolwork?

153

Now that's pretty obvious that yes, that's a good thing.

154

But you could say something like, however, I understand that some moms and dads are really busy and they don't have time to do that.

155

I don't agree with that, but I can understand why.

156

Why is it that some people might not enjoy attending family occasions?

157

You gave a very straight answer which was very very good but you could have maybe,

158

well that's what I feel but maybe there's this other reason why people, you don't need to list you know five different reasons but maybe say but some people might not have these issues perhaps.

159

Yeah or something like that.

160

Pronunciation, you would get a band nine, which is the top band because your pronunciation is perfect.

161

Not just accent.

162

So a lot of people watching this video will listen to you and think, oh, she has a beautiful British accent.

163

And that is something that people can strive for, but they don't need a particular type of British accent to do well.

164

You could have a Taiwanese accent, an Indian accent, a Vietnamese accent, and still get a band nine.

165

It's more about the clarity of your accent rather than the type of accent that you have.

166

Now you do have one of those very admired accents for people on our channel.

167

So people will be very impressed with that, but people watching shouldn't think, I need to sound more British.

168

Because it's not a British RP test.

169

It is an English test.

170

Clarity, I understood 100% of what you were saying.

171

And then you also have very high level pronunciation features such as intonation.

172

So you show meaning and humor and things like that through intonation.

173

You also show that through sentence stress.

174

So sentence stress is like, this is my phone.

175

This isn't your phone.

176

So you emphasize certain words to display meaning.

177

Your connected speech is great.

178

So if somebody is learning, they might say, do you want to go to the coffee shop?

179

So everything is perfectly clear, but how you would say it, do you want to go to the coffee shop?

180

Do you want to go?

181

So it sounds kind of like one continuous sign or word.

182

So band nine for pronunciation.

183

Coherence and fluency are in the same band and you get whatever is lowest.

184

So if your coherence is band eight and your fluency is band nine, you get a band eight and vice versa.

185

Your fluency is perfect.

186

If you listen to someone who is learning English, their fluency suffers because they're trying to fetch the correct word or the correct phrase or should I use past simple or present perfect?

187

You don't have any issues with that and you don't have any issues with ideas and information.

188

You're just without effort.

189

Your coherence.

190

Coherence is did you answer the question and did you develop it enough?

191

You did, but we need to be careful with that if you did the real test.

192

Because as I said, your fluency could be perfect, but you're not developing your answers enough, which could drag you down.

193

I don't think it would, but we need to do it out of abundance of caution.

194

Grammar, I didn't hear a single grammar mistake.

195

So the examiner will be thinking about accuracy.

196

Did she make any mistakes?

197

And range.

198

Does she have enough tenses, enough grammatical structures to talk about the things that she wants to talk about?

199

So for example, I asked you about how has exercise changed since you were a child?

200

That requires you to use past simple, present perfect, things like that.

201

You had no problem with that whatsoever.

202

So ban nine for grammar, ban nine for vocabulary as well, because you used amazing idiomatic vocabulary like this.

203

A native English speaker will use idiomatic phrases, which are phrases that learners don't really know how to use.

204

You only really know how to use them if you grew up in an English-speaking country or you got to a very, very high level of English.

205

Vocabulary is very precise and accurate and you have a huge range of vocabulary.

206

You could talk about any topic that I could throw at you.

207

So band nine all across the board.

208

Thank you.

209

Which is extremely rare.

210

Less than one percent of people get a band nine.

211

Oh wow.

212

Okay well thank you very much.

213

I'll work on my coherence.

214

It is true I tend to think out loud so maybe it's not coherent in that sense because I'm just basically listing in my head yeah yeah okay thank you very much thank you

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.
