1
Okay, we can get started now.
2
To begin, can you tell me your full name?
3
So my Korean full name is Sung Min Jo, but you can just call me Eric.
4
Sounds good.
5
And you got to put H behind the C.
6
Ah, H.
7
Ah, okay.
8
Silent H behind the C.
9
I got you.
10
All right.
11
Can you tell me, are you working or studying now?
12
I'm a student at Yonsei University and I'm a senior right now
13
but I finished my whole semester so I'm about to graduate this August
14
and I'm also working as an intern in SNU hospital as a robotic engineer.
15
Oh interesting.
16
Do you enjoy your studies?
17
Not exactly.
18
I mean it's too hard so I had a hard time thinking about getting a good grade.
19
And what do you hope to do after you graduate?
20
Well, after I graduate, I just want to go to a company as a lot of people do.
21
I want to do something that's kind of some collaboration between what I've did so far,
22
for example the engineering and also talking with the foreign people
23
so using English I want these two combined
24
so I want to do a job that's related to these two
25
and what do you enjoy doing in your free time my free time I usually watch YouTube
26
and also do a workout such as like push -ups and pull up such things like that.
27
Okay, let's see.
28
Where is your hometown?
29
My hometown is near the Gangnam Station.
30
It takes about 10 minutes just by walking from Gangnam Station to my house.
31
What kind of things do you like about your hometown?
32
Well, if you ask anyone about what you think about Gangnam.
33
It's the center of Seoul and there are lots of facilities around.
34
So it is really convenient to get what I want.
35
I can just walk to the store and get anything that I want.
36
And for people who are into education, there are a lot of academies.
37
So you can get a good quality of education anywhere.
38
Sure.
39
What kind of things do you like, what kind of things do you not like about your hometown?
40
Maybe when I go to work or go to a subway station, it is too crowded in certain periods.
41
For example, when I finish my work and go back to my home, I think it's about 7 to 8 p .m.
42
If you go to exit 7 in the Gangnam station,
43
it is too crowded and it takes about 3 to 5 minutes just to go upstairs.
44
So I don't like that, people being too crowded.
45
I think I know what you mean.
46
Yeah.
47
Okay, we can talk about change now.
48
Have you changed a lot since your childhood?
49
Yeah, I think I've changed a lot, yeah.
50
So back in the childhood, I was really quiet and I was only focusing on studying.
51
But as I grow up and meet a lot of people, I became extroverted.
52
And so it changed.
53
I changed into, like, I mean, I changed to, like, talking with other people.
54
Okay.
55
And what do you plan to change next year?
56
Probably being more positive because usually I think in a negative way, but it's not something like that.
57
Being negative means, oh, I cannot do this.
58
Like, it's not something like that.
59
Just when I think about the future, I think in a negative way.
60
So I think about how to, how I, what I should do to not make this happen.
61
But I think just thinking positive, as lots of people suggest me to do,
62
I think that's much more better because it gives me less stress.
63
So yes, I'm going to change my mind in a more positive way.
64
Okay.
65
And do you like changes?
66
I definitely like changes.
67
Why?
68
If nothing changes, then it's too boring.
69
But I like something that's kind of dynamic and always changing.
70
So if it changes a lot, I can learn more regarding to those changes.
71
So, you know, I prefer the change more than just not changing and live a boring life.
72
Okay.
73
And are there any changes in your hometown recently?
74
Well, recent, there's a park nearby.
75
At first, that park was really not pretty developed.
76
I mean, if you just walk around, there are dirt everywhere on your shoes.
77
But recently, it changed.
78
So they made a path that's.. and they covered something over the dirt
79
so after that when I walk around the park my shoes are steady and clean.
80
Okay good.
81
We can end part one there.
82
We can move on to part two.
83
Okay so for part two you'll have a minute to prepare your answer and you can take some notes.
84
Here's your question and here's a pencil.
85
So take a minute to make some notes and then you'll have up to two minutes to talk about the topic.
86
Okay, that's a minute there.
87
So you're going to describe a tradition in your country.
88
Well, I'd like to introduce Chuseok, which is a really famous holiday and also one of the representatives of our Korean tradition.
89
And in Chuseok, usually the whole family members and also the cousins and aunts,
90
they all participate in this tradition.
91
So, and they usually participate not for a whole period, like three days, but just for one day because,
92
you know, everyone's too busy having their, living their own life.
93
So they make a plan to gather at just one day
94
and the activities that they do is they play a game called yun -nori.
95
It's throwing four sticks that has two different sides.
96
And you throw them and according to the result that came out, you move some kind of a thing.
97
and also they make songpyeon and also they eat.
98
I've also tried it too and I think that's one of the most interesting activities that I've done so far.
99
How I feel about this tradition?
100
Well, I think it's really good of course and I feel really relieved because in this holiday,
101
I feel like I'm outside of my reality,
102
which means that I'm, well, in my reality, I'm full of stress.
103
But in this holiday, I feel really happy and don't have to think about what I'm doing right now.
104
Yeah.
105
So basically happy.
106
Okay, good.
107
That was just about two minutes.
108
Oh.
109
What is your favorite part of Chuseok?
110
Favorite part of Chuseok?
111
Definitely Songpyeon.
112
I really like eating, eating some delicious food.
113
Okay, good.
114
So we can move on now to part three.
115
And the first question, how do people value traditional festivals?
116
I think since I'm used to talking with workers right now,
117
they mostly say that tradition is just a resting period, the holiday, and they feel really happy because they don't have to go to work.
118
And for people who are really young, well, in a similar way, they also feel happy because they don't have to go to school.
119
So instead of actually enjoying the true meaning of those traditions,
120
they just feel happy because of this tradition and this holiday, they don't have to live their normal life.
121
at those short periods.
122
So yeah, I think in this way most of the people think that it's just a resting period.
123
Good.
124
What's the difference between festivals now and festivals in the past?
125
Well, in the past when there's a some kind of festival, lots of people gathered together and they enjoyed the activities.
126
such as what I said before, you nori or this kind of stuff.
127
But nowadays, it's really hard to find people gathering and enjoying the activities nowadays.
128
So if I ask someone, what did you do on this holiday or in this festival, they usually say, oh, I just watched YouTube,
129
I just took a rest and lie on bed.
130
So I think that's the biggest difference.
131
Sure.
132
Okay, do you think Western festivals or holidays like Christmas are replacing traditional festivals or holidays in your country?
133
I think instead of replacing,
134
I think adding would be more an appropriate way to say it.
135
So I've never felt that the Western holidays and or the festivals are replacing our holiday.
136
So I think it's just adding, not replacing.
137
Okay.
138
Do you think it's wrong for children not to celebrate traditional festivals within a culture?
139
You mean even though they want to enjoy it, they cannot?
140
No, like they decide they don't want to.
141
If children decide they don't want to, is that a problem?
142
Well, I've never thought that that would be a problem because that's their own choice.
143
You know, even I didn't, I had a lot, lots of times not enjoying the holiday or the festival.
144
So I think it's just their own choice and it's not wrong at all.
145
Okay, good.
146
Okay, we've made it to the end.
147
Nicely done.
148
Thank you.
149
And now we can move on to a little bit of feedback.
150
So as you know, the IELTS has scored on four parts.
151
There's fluency and coherence, there's pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.
152
I think he did a nice job on all of these categories, but we can just comment on each quickly.
153
We'll start with the first two that are the easiest.
154
Fluency and pronunciation are both very strong.
155
You've got a natural rhythm of speech and no pronunciation issues at all, really.
156
So those are both very strong.
157
Vocabulary and grammar are often linked.
158
It can be hard to actually say exactly what's a vocabulary thing and what's a grammar thing.
159
Broadly speaking, I think it was quite good.
160
You have a good control of the present and the past tense.
161
Good accuracy for the most part.
162
And there's kind of two ways that you want to think about it.
163
There's accuracy and then there's range.
164
Accuracy, whether there are errors, and range, whether you're reaching for idioms and natural phrases and very advanced vocabulary.
165
the errors that you made were very small in part one for example the question about your hometown
166
might have been a little misunderstanding I think you wanted you
167
could just say Seoul is your hometown I know Seoul is not a town
168
but hometown just refers to the place where you grew up
169
that would have made that question a little bit easier because you can talk more generally about the city
170
But I guess that's a vocabulary thing in a way.
171
When you were describing the train too, you described it as too crowded, which is true in a good way to describe it.
172
But there's more advanced words that you could have used as well in that position to sort of advance your score.
173
You could have described it as cramped, you could have described it as claustrophobic, You could say it's suffocating.
174
And reaching for these slightly more advanced phrases is good for progressing in your score.
175
In terms of grammar, let's see, small things.
176
At one point, you mentioned that something was more better.
177
Ah, better.
178
Yeah, you know.
179
So it's just better.
180
A little bit of using comparatives is actually very good on the exam.
181
It shows a level of accuracy and range.
182
So those questions that ask you to compare the festivals now and festivals in the past, that's a good place to use comparative forms.
183
The more better was a part one question, but again, it's an accuracy.
184
really small other things plurals and singulars you mentioned
185
that the park there was a lot of there were lots of dirts
186
and dirt is not countable dirt is not countable
187
so those are small little accuracy things that
188
that might hold you back just a little bit one other point would be
189
that in part three part three is hard because you get these general questions and they want you to talk
190
generally without using your own example so you want to avoid using an eye
191
eye statements or approaching it from a personal perspective and try to
192
try to keep it as general as possible it can be hard
193
because the questions come from various different angles
194
but yeah overall i think it was it was a very good test and i would estimate
195
your score at around 7 .5, but a very strong 7 .5.
196
And with a little bit of extra refining on the vocabulary, a little more advanced phrases, you'd be able to move up.
197
So, very good job, and thanks for coming in.
198
Oh, thank you.
199
All right, take care.

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。
