Hello, my name is Liz.
2
In this lesson I'm going to look at the types of topics
3
that the examiner could ask you in IELTS Speaking Part 1.
4
And at the end of this lesson I'll give you a link
5
so that you can take a look at the topics and questions for yourself.
6
The examiner will probably ask you about 12 different questions in speaking part one
7
and these questions come from usually three different topics these topics are all familiar topics they're topics
8
that are common to everybody throughout the world now the first
9
topic of these three usually comes from one of these work study home
10
or hometown you will probably get one of them for your first topic work
11
or study now if the examiner decides to ask you about work
12
or study the first question that the examiner will ask is do you work or do do you study?
13
Now the examiner is asking this question only because he
14
or she needs to know which topic to choose to ask the questions.
15
So with this question you do not need to expand your answer.
16
You can just say very clearly, I work, I study.
17
Now if you're a student and you've finished university but you're not working either, then you need to tell the examiner that and you need to say,
18
I've just finished university but I don't have a job yet.
19
And the examiner will then continue and ask you about the topic of study.
20
Now, with these topics, the common questions that the examiner could ask you is often, where do you study or work?
21
Why did you choose that subject or that job?
22
The examiner might ask you about your first day, about the people that you work with or study with,
23
and other things about your work or your studies.
24
Now for the topic of home, this topic is all about where you live.
25
So it could be about your house or your apartment.
26
And in that topic, the examiner can ask you about the rooms in the house,
27
how they are decorated, so what you can see on the walls or what kind of views you have from the windows.
28
The examiner might also ask you about the people you live with or the area and street that you live in.
29
And the last topic, hometown.
30
Now if you get the topic of hometown this is about the place where you were born or where you spent
31
most of your childhood.
32
And for this topic, the examiner often asks you about places in your hometown,
33
for example, buildings or old buildings in your hometown.
34
The examiner might ask you about the weather or transportation in your hometown
35
or if you plan to still live there in the future.
36
So those are usually one of those will be your first topic for IELTS speaking part one
37
but you have two more topics after this so let's have a look at what kind of topics you can get next.
38
Here is a list of 18 different topics.
39
I would like you to have a look at the list
40
and decide which ones you think you might be asked about in IELTS Speaking Part 1.
41
Do you think the examiner might ask you about all of them or only some of them?
42
Well, let's have a look.
43
We've got family, friends, hobbies, weather, happiness, sport, food, clothes,
44
school, flowers, shopping, computers, going out,
45
newspapers, childhood, holidays, dictionaries and transport.
46
Do you think it's possible to get all of them in IELTS Speaking Part 1?
47
Well, I will tell you that all these topics are possible in IELTS Speaking Part 1.
48
I know that many people may have read or heard that topics in IELTS Speaking Part 1 are all easy.
49
Unfortunately, they are not all easy.
50
You can see here the topic of happiness or flowers or dictionaries.
51
Sometimes the topics can be challenging.
52
So one of the keys to preparing for IELTS Speaking Part 1 is to prepare topics
53
and that means to prepare ideas and vocabulary for all the different topics for IELTS Speaking.
54
So this is a list of some of the topics you can get in IELTS Speaking Part 1.

この動画でスピーキング練習をする理由

IELTSスピーキングPart 1の対策には、実際の試験場面での話し方やトピックの傾向を理解することが不可欠です。この動画では、考官が質問する可能性のあるトピック(仕事、勉強、自宅、故郷など)や質問のパターンが詳しく説明されています。「shadowspeak」や「英語シャドーイング」の練習に最適な素材であり、自然な発音やリズムを身につけるだけでなく、試験での応答スピードも向上させることができます。特に、最初の質問には簡潔に答えるべき点や、トピックに合わせた展開の仕方が示されているので、実践的なスキルを養うことができます。

文脈の中の文法と表現

動画内で使われている重要な表現をいくつか紹介します。まず、「The examiner will probably ask you about 12 different questions...」のように、未来の可能性を表す「will probably」は、予測や推測を柔らかく伝えるのに役立ちます。次に、「You can just say very clearly, I work, I study.」の「can just say」は、簡単な方法を提案する際に使われ、スピーキングでは直接的な表現が重要であることを示しています。さらに、「if you're a student and you've finished university but you're not working either」の「but」は、対比を強調し、複数の情報をつなぐのに効果的です。これらの構造を「shadowing site」で繰り返し練習することで、自然な会話力が身につきます。

発音の注意点

動画内の単語の中で、発音が難しいものがいくつかあります。例えば、「examiner」は「エグザミナー」ではなく「エグザミナー」(末尾の「er」を軽く発音)、「apartment」は「アパートメント」ではなく「アパートメント」(「t」の音を明確にする)などです。また、「hometown」の「h」は無声化されることが多いので、「オームタウン」ではなく「ホームタウン」と発音します。「shadowspeaks」の練習では、これらの発音の違いを注意深く聞き分け、正確に真似ることが重要です。特に、リズムやイントネーションを捉えることで、ネイティブらしい発音に近づけます。

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型動画での表現
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てるare decorated · were born · might be asked
現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係しているyou've finished · I've just finished
「might / may」による可能性 might/may + 動詞 — 起こりうるが確実ではないことmight ask · might also ask · might be
「will」の未来表現 will + 動詞 — その場の決定、約束、予測I'll give · will probably ask · will probably get

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。
