1
Hello and good afternoon, nice to meet you.
2
Good afternoon.
3
How are you today?
4
Good, but a little bit worried.
5
A little bit worried.
6
May I ask what is your name please?
7
My name is Nhi.
8
Fantastic.
9
Nhi, the test today will be around 12 to 15 minutes.
10
If you're happy, we can start?
11
Oh yes.
12
Fantastic.
13
Nhi, I want to start please by talking about your hometown.
14
Tell me, where is your hometown?
15
I was born and raised in the thriving metropolis, Ho Chi Minh City, which is located in the south of Vietnam.
16
As it's a state-of-the-art urban area, so lots of people live there.
17
There is a really busy, lively and fast-paced lifestyle.
18
Fantastic, thank you so much.
19
What do you like most about your hometown?
20
There are various things I love about it.
21
Firstly, there are many job opportunities to work in prestigious companies,
22
which is really important because people can earn a high salary and have a better quality of life.
23
Secondly, there is the world-class education system.
24
Therefore, students can develop and learn their skills in a high standard learning environment.
25
Wonderful, that's wonderful.
26
Thank you.
27
Has your hometown changed much over the years?
28
Absolutely.
29
The most common vehicle in my city was bike.
30
I mean, most people cycle to work and go to school school.
31
But now, as you can see, most people use motorbikes to move around the city.
32
Yes.
33
And moreover, it was much cleaner as there were more parks and gardens,
34
but now they replaced by factories and buildings because of the industrialization.
35
Fantastic.
36
Thank you.
37
And the final question for Hometown.
38
Is there anything you would like to improve about your hometown?
39
There are two things I would like to change about my hometown.
40
The first one is the air quality.
41
I mean, as you know, the majority of people use their personal vehicles,
42
especially motorbikes, which release films directly to the air, causing air pollution.
43
And the second one is noise pollution.
44
There is a lot of noise from factories as well as karaoke
45
which badly affects my life so I want the government to do something to do with these problems.
46
Wonderful, thank you very much.
47
Moving on now, let's talk about your daily routine.
48
Tell me Miss Ni, what time do you usually wake up?
49
I would say that it depends on the day.
50
In weekdays I usually wake up at 6am as I need to go to school early in the morning.
51
But at weekend I always wake up at 9am as I sleep more
52
because I want to recharge my batteries after a hard week.
53
Fantastic.
54
Thank you very much.
55
Do you prefer to have a fixed routine or a flexible one?
56
Oh, that's an interesting question.
57
I think that I'm keen on a flexible routine because of two main reasons.
58
The first one is I can't predict the future.
59
So I usually adjust my work to suit the situation
60
and the second one is it depends on my energy levels of that day.
61
I mean some days I feel really tired
62
so I do less work on that day and we'll do more in another day when I'm more energetic.
63
Wonderful, how fascinating, brilliant.
64
What part of the day do you enjoy most?
65
I think that I enjoy myself most in late evening, around 9 to 10pm when I finish all my homework
66
and I can use social media such as TikTok or chat with friends with a fresh and comfortable mind.
67
And at that time I feel really happy and relaxed.
68
That's wonderful, fantastic.
69
And finally, has your routine changed recently?
70
Changed?
71
Oh, absolutely yes.
72
I usually spend two or three hours a day to finish all my assignments.
73
and go to bed around 10 30 pm
74
but since this Monday it took me four five or even six hours a day
75
to finish all my tasks as well as revise the lessons and definitely I went to bed later
76
around 11 or at midnight to prepare for my final term exams two weeks later.
77
It made me a little, sometimes it made me a little bit exhausted, but I think it's worth it.
78
As I think that when I learn and revise more,
79
I will pass the exams with flying colors and my parents will be proud of me.
80
Fantastic, that's the main thing.
81
Okay, Ni, I really enjoyed that, listening about your daily routine in the hometown.
82
And now we will move on to part two, please please.
83
In part two I will give you a question and you have one minute to prepare, okay?
84
Fantastic.
85
The question for today please, Ni, is could you describe a place in your city that you enjoy visiting?
86
Thank you.
87
Okay Ni, thank you so much.
88
That is the end of the one minute.
89
When you're ready, could you please start now?
90
Yes, there are many fascinating places I could talk about however
91
if i had to pick one it would be the up-to-date shopping center gigamon
92
it's located on phan vang dom street in ho chi min city about 15 minutes from my house
93
there are many activities there are a variety of activities i
94
could do there firstly i usually tried some mouth-battering cuisine at high-quality restaurants.
95
And I highly recommend Saesaria, an Italian restaurant.
96
And the food there is really delicious.
97
And secondly, me and my friends always take photos together when we get there,
98
especially photo booth, a Korean style photography model, which is really trendy among young people.
99
I can remember vividly that last year, me and my best friend went to Gigamon to celebrate her birthday.
100
At that time, I gave her a ceramic cup as a gift and she really loved it.
101
And definitely, I really appreciate that moment.
102
And then we took some photos together to give some unforgettable memories.
103
The reasons why I love that place, not only because it is delicious food,
104
but also it has sentimental value to me.
105
As it witnessed all my moments and memories with my family and friends, who I love the most in the world.
106
In the future, I will definitely go visit that place again and again.
107
Thank you so much.
108
I really enjoyed that.
109
I've not been there, but I'll try to go there in the future.
110
Thank you so much Ni.
111
I'll just take that back.
112
Thank you.
113
Ni, I want to continue talking about cities and urban life now.
114
Could you tell me please, why do so many people prefer living in cities nowadays?
115
Generally speaking, as I've mentioned above,
116
there are many job opportunities to work in prestigious companies which give them a financial freedom.
117
For example, in Ho Chi Minh City, there are lots of big international companies like Samsung or LG,
118
which need a huge number of employees and offer them a high salary.
119
Moreover, people can find some services like hospitals or schools easily,
120
which is really necessary for their basic needs.
121
Thank you very much.
122
But what problems can large cities face?
123
In my opinion, I'm sure that most cities in the world face air pollution caused by factories gas.
124
I mean, for example, in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are lots of big cities that are built there.
125
They are always on the top cities which have the worst air quality in my country.
126
Moreover, because the urban areas have more modern facilities,
127
so lots of people from rural areas move there, and makes them overcrowded and noisy.
128
Thank you.
129
Yeah, very interesting.
130
That's great.
131
How can governments make big cities more comfortable to live in?
132
In my opinion, I think one thing the government could do is tackle the problems I mentioned above.
133
About air pollution, I think they could introduce some new laws to restrict and reduce the amount of exhaust gas.
134
Besides that, they could improve the infrastructure in rural areas and encourage residents to move there,
135
which leads to reducing the overcrowded situation.
136
Well done.
137
Thank you.
138
Brilliant.
139
Finally, let's talk about leisure activities now, Nhi.
140
Tell me, do people have enough free time today compared to in the past?
141
From my point of view, I think there is less time for them to relax than in the past,
142
as people now have a huge number of assignments they have to do in their work or their study.
143
For example, in Vietnam in the past, students used to have full three-month summer holidays,
144
days but now they only have around two
145
and a half months even they need to they need to participate in some extra classes like a math
146
or english class so however some people said
147
that in the in the past they needed to do part-time
148
job in every time to have their to have their family
149
so it's not the time when they enjoy or for them to relax themselves.
150
Interesting, very interesting isn't it?
151
How can technology influence the way that people spend their time?
152
In my opinion, people spend much more time on their phones during their free time,
153
which makes them a little bit isolated.
154
For example, in the past, children Children usually gather together to play,
155
to do other activities like playing handshake or playing football.
156
But now you hardly ever see anywhere.
157
However, some people make friends through the social media and then they share their
158
with the people that have the same hobbies with them and it makes them more relaxed and comfortable.
159
Thank you so much, well done.
160
And now please the final question for today, should parents encourage children to spend more time outdoors?
161
I think that it's really necessary as children can develop their practical skills like communication
162
or problem solving skills and avoid becoming passive people.
163
For instance, now children spend more than eight hours a day playing online games and don't talk to other people.
164
And it badly impacts on their future.
165
But, so, however, there's a high crime rate, such as kidnapping children for ransom.
166
I mean, criminals will kidnap their children and then require their parents for a huge sum of money.
167
And after they receive money, they will give back their children.
168
Yeah, so some parents really worried about that so sometimes they discourage their children to spend a lot of time outside.
169
Amazing, thank you very much.
170
And that brings us to the end of the test.
171
Thank you very much.
172
Well done, well done.
173
I'm so proud of you.
174
Fantastic, fantastic.
175
How did you find that?
176
Oh, fresh.
177
I thought you were absolutely phenomenal.
178
Your fluency was absolutely amazing.
179
Your pronunciation was beautiful.
180
I'm so proud of you.
181
I know that you were so nervous before we did that.
182
Yeah, but you did absolutely amazingly.
183
I'm so proud of you.
184
Well done.
185
Good job.
186
Good job.
187
One thing I really liked is your part one and your part two were phenomenal.
188
They were absolutely amazing.
189
Your part three, there were some difficult questions there, especially for someone of your age because you are still, you know, in school.
190
So it's difficult for you to think about big ideas, but I thought you did a wonderful job.
191
Wonderful.
192
Especially with the part two, when you relaxed into it and you told that wonderful story about your family.
193
Yeah.
194
Are you excited to book your test soon?
195
Oh, I'm so worried about my tests.
196
Well, we will practice a few new strategies for part three
197
so I love that you followed a really clear and logical formula.
198
Soon in our next lessons I will teach you some other ways to answer them as well okay
199
so I'm really looking forward to that but overall I thought you were phenomenal so thank you so much.
200
High five, come on Nick, well done.
このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由は？
このビデオは、IELTSスピーキングセクションの模擬テストを通じて、英語スピーキング練習に最適な機会を提供します。模擬テストでは、実際の試験と似た形式で質問に答えることで、自信を持ってスピーキングスキルを向上させることができます。また、フィードバックがつくことで、自分の弱点を理解し、改善点を明確にすることができます。さらに、活気ある会話の中でリスニングスキルも鍛えられ、英語に対する理解が深まります。
文法と表現の文脈における分析
このビデオでは、以下のような重要な文法構造や表現が使われています：
- 「Firstly, there are many job opportunities...」 - このフレーズは、意見や理由を説明する際に序列をつける際に便利です。
- 「As it's a state-of-the-art urban area...」 - 状態を説明するための強調表現として効果的に使われています。
- 「The first one is the air quality...」 - リストを作成する際の文法構造で、特にアイデアや意見を整理する際に役立ちます。
- 「I mean, as you know...」 - 会話をスムーズに進めるための言い回しで、相手との共通理解を強調します。
これらの構造を使いこなすことで、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、自分の意見を明確に伝える力も養われます。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオ内ではいくつかの発音のトラップが見受けられました。特に注意すべき単語やフレーズには：
- 「metropolis」 - ここは音節を意識して発音することが鍵です。
- 「pollution」 - “l”の発音に注意を払い、正確に発音することで理解されやすくなります。
- 「industrialization」 - この単語は長いため、スムーズに発音できるように練習が必要です。
shadowspeakやshadow speakの手法を活用して、これらの発音を繰り返し練習することで、より自然なスピーキング能力を身につけることができます。IELTSスピーキング対策として、こうした具体的な発音練習は非常に有効です。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
