1
Let's start off by talking about art.
2
Do you like art?
3
Growing up, a way to express myself and just generally showing my emotions through whatever medium that I choose.
4
I actually prefer art more than music in some different ways.
5
I like to paint and I like to see people how they express themselves as well through their art.
6
So yeah, I do love art.
7
Do you think that art classes are important in school?
8
I actually feel like art is very subjective.
9
Teaching basic theories about art and stuff like that I feel like yes it is sometimes
10
necessary so people can understand let's say basic concepts such as color theory
11
and whatnot however I don't feel like following a certain concept or how
12
to draw this or how to draw that is quite necessary like I feel like your own creative mind
13
can go in whatever direction you want it to go to who are your favorite artists so my favorite
14
artist in terms of the music industry i would say rihanna i love her music i love like every time i put it on
15
my car and i'm driving i just love listening to her music because it it literally changes my mood and I love listening, I love sharing that experience with my friends as well.
16
So she's tops my favorite artists.
17
Now let's talk about animals.
18
Do you have a pet at home?
19
I actually have two pets.
20
They're both cats.
21
I love animals, but specifically cats.
22
I love everything about them.
23
So I have two cats.
24
One, her name is Nooni, the other is Tutti.
25
And Nuni kind of describes me as a person, like we kind of share the same behaviors.
26
So she's very lazy sometimes.
27
She's also introverted, I would say.
28
I really love cats.
29
I love how fluffy and sometimes friendly they are.
30
I also enjoy their company, just them being there.
31
Would you like a different pet in the future?
32
so i used to have ducks um two ducks and i unfortunately i had to give them
33
up to um shelter because i felt like i couldn't um properly take care of them
34
in my house so in the future i really hope that i could revisit that memory of them of taking care care of my ducks so hopefully in the near future,
35
maybe if I'm fully settled in my own house, I would love to have two more ducks.
36
And do you prefer cats or dogs?
37
Definitely cats.
38
Like, I think it's because I come from like a Muslim family, so we kind of have like a taboo or like an idea of dogs, like it's not clean, and it's not, you know.
39
So cats are just the way to go.
40
Like I love cats, their personality, the way they look, the way they act, everything about them.
41
Now let's talk about reading.
42
How often do you read books?
43
Back in middle school, I used to be so into books.
44
It was basically my personality trait.
45
I really, really enjoyed, like I had my alone time is just spending my time reading books.
46
And at one point, my family just told me, like, get out of the house.
47
Like, what are you doing?
48
And even if I did go out of the house, like, I would just carry my book everywhere I go.
49
As of recently, I kind of fell off of that habit of reading constantly because just with everything happening in my life, I can't keep up.
50
But I would say once every two months I would read books.
51
What book would you recommend to a friend?
52
So I would recommend All the Bright Places.
53
I forgot the name of the author, but I think that book really depicts what a teenager would go through.
54
Like I said, I used to read back in middle school and also in high school.
55
So I felt like that book really spoke to me.
56
I really related to that book and I would recommend it to a friend because I generally feel like it kind of relates to, you know, the adolescents or teenagers in general.
57
Do you prefer to read e-books or paper books?
58
I generally prefer physical or hard copies because I like the feel of the book being in my hand, especially because I use my phone daily for a lot of things.
59
I would like to change up my routine every once in a while.
60
So a hard copy would feel like it's a different vibe to my daily routine.
61
Now let's talk about photography.
62
Who do you normally take photos of?
63
Whenever I go out or step out of outside the house, I love taking pictures of whether it's of my friends, my family members or cats.
64
I actually enjoy looking at things from a different perspective.
65
So let's say just like the book on the table or the light or even just a bird from afar.
66
I like taking pictures to show people like through my eyes what I see or how I view the world.
67
Do you ever put any of your photos in frames?
68
I've actually never thought about that.
69
I've never done that before.
70
it's actually interesting because I've seen a lot of people do that online where they print out their Polaroid pictures or like a
71
physical copy of pictures that they've taken before and they framed it and actually I think I've seen my friends do that before so I mean why not maybe
72
once I move out when you are on holiday do you prefer to send postcards or do you prefer to take photos and send them to people?
73
I've never done the postcards thing before.
74
I feel like it's kind of outdated, but I wouldn't mind doing that or start doing that in my vacations.
75
But I usually just take photos and send it on WhatsApp.
76
Let's say my family group, I send it just to show them like what I've been up to in my vacation.
77
So yeah, just photos.
78
I would like to talk about the author or the writer that I would like to meet in the future.
79
Unfortunately, she passed away, but the writer is Jane Austen.
80
She is the writer of Pride and Prejudice, which is the current read that I'm reading right now.
81
The reason why I would like to meet her is because of how
82
during her time, which is around 1700s or 1800s,
83
I was always interested in the Victorian or how they were in the past, the way they dress, the way they talk,
84
especially because people in the past spoke differently, the language or the words that they used were very different.
85
Right now I'm reading one of her books, Pride and Prejudice, and sometimes I have to Google what she's saying.
86
Like I don't understand what she wrote.
87
It's very interesting the way she writes or like the language that she uses describing her like the setting, the story setting.
88
I really enjoy it and I would like to find out about her lifestyle specifically
89
because again I'm just very interested or intrigued about the idea of like living in that era
90
of where the time that she was still alive why I would like to meet her
91
is because I'm again very interested in how she speaks or how she spoke and the language or language that she uses.
92
Well done, that's the end of the two minutes.
93
So we've been talking about a writer that you would like to meet and we're going to continue to talk about reading in section three.
94
What kind of books are most popular with children in your country?
95

98
Thanks very much.
99
And let's get back to the video.
100
In my country, to be honest, I'm unaware of, I don't know that much.
101
But when I was a kid, I used to like Dr.
102
Seuss even now, sometimes if I see Dr.
103
Seuss online, I would I would just skim through it because I like how It rhymes.
104
It was just fun to read, to be honest.
105
Why do you think that some children don't read very often?
106
So I'm a firm believer in terms of how parents reinforce their children.
107
So when it comes to, like I've seen, I've personally seen how parents act with their children, giving them iPads or like just letting them watch TV.
108
So I believe that if parents enforce their children to read more books or encourage them to start reading together, that would be a fun exercise to do at home.
109
Other than that, I feel like the parents are usually the biggest reinforcers.
110
Now let's talk about reading for different purposes.
111
Do you think that speed reading is a useful skill to have?
112
I do think that it is a useful skill.
113
So for me, I read really slow.
114
Like sometimes I have to reread a paragraph because I couldn't just decipher what it was saying.
115
So I feel like in terms of like high demand jobs where they need to get a lot of things done on time.
116
So speed reading could be a useful skill.
117
Some people believe that reading novels is more interesting or more enjoyable than reading nonfiction.
118
Why do you think that is?
119
So I feel like reading just generally could give you a timeout from everything.
120
I would understand why people would prefer fiction over nonfiction.
121
because just in your daily life you're experiencing a lot of you know draining
122
energies around you so when it comes to your alone reading time you get to experience or
123
I guess be creative in your imagination so yeah that's why I think fiction books are more popular
124
Recently, many bookshops have had to close because of competition from online bookstores.
125
Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing?
126
I think that it's a bad thing because I personally love when I physically go to the store and look through the books and just read.
127
Because I feel like buying a book should feel like an experience rather than like a chore.
128
So buying it online diminishes that experience overall.
129
So yeah, I feel like it is a bad thing that the physical stores are closing and online stores are overtaking.
130
Let me give you some feedback on your performance.
131
So you're hoping to get a bad nine.
132
And I'll go through the four marking criteria.
133
So pronunciation, fluency and coherence, grammar and vocabulary.
134
Let's start off with your pronunciation.
135
To thank you for making it this far in the video, I want to give you 10% off our VIP course.

143
If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.
144
The examiner will be thinking about two things.
145
One will be clarity.
146
Can he or she understand everything that you're saying?
147
and I can understand 100% of what you're saying.
148
Every word, every syllable is extremely clear.
149
The examiner is not really thinking about accents or anything like that.
150
What they're thinking about is, do I understand you?
151
I can understand you 100%, so that's excellent.
152
The examiner will also think about higher level pronunciation features, such as intonation.
153
Intonation is when our voice goes up, and our voice goes down.
154
We use that to convey meaning and you do that very, very naturally.
155
You also use connected speech and sentence stress and word stress very, very well.
156
So good start with the pronunciation.
157
Let's move on to fluency and coherence.
158
Coherence is did you answer the question and did you develop your answers enough?
159
Did you give enough information and really dive into the topic.
160
For part one, you really did, you nailed every single question, you answered it appropriately, you developed it enough.
161
Part two, you're talking about Jane Austen.
162
You would be fine for this one.
163
It was describe a writer you would like to meet.
164
Hypothetically, we could meet someone who has passed away.
165
Just be very careful on test day.
166
Make sure that you're really, really focusing in on that topic.
167
For that one, I don't think any examiner would say, oh, you can't meet Jane Austen, so let's mark you down.
168
Because it's kind of one of those questions, who would you like to meet, alive or dead?
169
So you would be fine, but just be careful on test day.
170
Part three, you did answer each question.
171
However, you could have shown the other side of some of the things.
172
So for example, why do you think some children don't read books very often?
173
So you said it's because of the parents.
174
Are there any other sides to that?
175
Is it because maybe you could talk about children, maybe they're distracted with other things?
176
You did mention that.
177
I'm being overly critical just to make sure that you do get the highest mark.
178
But also some of the other questions, you know, could you have shown the other side of the argument?
179
Could you maybe have thought of different ideas and explored different ideas?
180
the way that you did answer it I think would be absolutely fine but on test day towards the end of the test students are
181
often tired stressed they just want it to be over and on test day you might just pick it pick an answer pick
182
an idea answer it quite quickly without really knowing that you're answering it quickly and then if you do that for all questions in part
183
three it could affect your score for this one I don't think it did I'm just being really really cautious a good way to answer those questions is, okay, what do I think?
184
What would someone who disagrees with me think?
185
Explore the topic a little bit more, if you can.
186
You don't have to do it for every answer, because what will happen is if you try to think too much, it could affect your fluency.
187
So you could be like, I don't know.
188
And then that will affect your fluency a little bit.
189
Overall, your fluency was excellent.
190
In part three, you could tell when you were thinking.
191
Generally, when people pause and hesitate a little bit, it's because they're thinking a lot more.
192
But you were only thinking about the next idea.
193
You weren't thinking about vocabulary or grammar or which tense am I using or what's a better adjective to use.
194
If you were doing that quite a lot, it would lower your score.
195
But the examiner recognizes that you're not looking for language, you're not looking for English, you're just thinking about the next idea.
196
And you did, you were like, like, I know, you know, at times, but that's quite natural.
197
The way you did it was very natural.
198
If you and I were speaking, having a normal conversation, you would hear me doing that sometimes.
199
So it's the examiner isn't looking for perfection.
200
They're looking for, you know, if you went to university in an English-speaking country or you started working in New York or Sydney, would you be able to interact with people and sound natural?
201
And you would.
202
Your grammar is excellent.
203
You have a massive range of grammar.
204
You can talk about any topic.
205
You also do that very accurately.
206
You did make a couple of little tiny, tiny slips, like prepositions.
207
I think you said in holiday instead of on holiday, for example.
208
But native English speakers do that all the time.
209
You can actually make these tiny little slips and still get one of the higher bands because it is a reflection of the fact that native English speakers, including me, who's an English teacher,
210
I make little grammar slips from time to time when I'm speaking.
211
We used some really, really high level vocabulary like this.
212
So this demonstrates that, you know, we asked you about a range of different topics and you had enough vocabulary to discuss any of those topics and all of your vocabulary was very,
213
very accurate and you were using great topic specific vocabulary, idiomatic vocabulary.
214
It's like speaking to a native English speaker.
215
So you would get a band line.
216
Well done.
217
And yeah, I've every faith that you would, if you did the real test, you would get the highest score.
218
well done thank you

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?

Praticare la conversazione in inglese è fondamentale per migliorare le proprie abilità linguistiche. Questo video, "The Surprisingly Simple Band 9 IELTS Speaking Test", offre un contesto reale in cui gli studenti possono ascoltare una conversazione naturale e coinvolgente, con l’obiettivo di migliorare la loro pronuncia e fluidità. Utilizzando tecniche di shadow speak, puoi imitare il parlato dell’oratore, aumentando la tua capacità di esprimerti chiaramente in inglese. La pratica di conversazione in inglese è essenziale per vincere l’ansia da prestazione e guadagnare sicurezza nelle interazioni quotidiane.

Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto

  • Espressioni di opinione: L’oratore utilizza frequentemente frasi come "I feel like" per esprimere le proprie opinioni. Questo è un ottimo modo per iniziare le tue frasi in una conversazione, rendendo il tuo discorso più personale e coinvolgente.
  • Descrivere emozioni: Usare frasi che descrivono come ci si sente, come "it literally changes my mood", aiuta a rendere le tue narrazioni più vivide e accessibili. Imparare a esprimere emozioni in inglese è cruciale in contesti conversazionali.
  • Parlare del passato: L’uso di forme verbali al passato, come "I used to", consente di connettersi con l’ascoltatore, condividendo esperienze personali e storie significative.

Queste strutture non solo arricchiscono il tuo vocabolario, ma ti forniscono anche forme versatile per comunicare meglio in inglese.

Trappole comuni di pronuncia

Quando si parla in inglese, alcuni suoni e parole possono essere particolarmente difficili da pronunciare. Nel video, l’oratore menziona parole come "emotions" e "art", che possono rivelarsi complicate per chi sta imparando. È importante ascoltare attentamente e ripetere questi suoni, prestando attenzione all’intonazione e al ritmo. Inoltre, le differenze tra l'accento inglese e quello americano possono influenzare la pronuncia di certe parole. Utilizza la tecnica di shadowing in inglese per abituarti a queste sfide, cercando di emulare l’accento e il modo di parlare dell’ora.

Incorporare questi aspetti nella tua pratica di conversazione in inglese ti permetterà non solo di diventare un parlatore più fluido, ma anche di comunicare in modo più autentico con i madrelingua.

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.
