シャドーイング練習: IELTS Speaking Test band score 7 with feedback - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

So we can now get started.

From here starts the speaking test.

This is the speaking mock test of the International English Language Testing System taking place in Ross-Ayos Academy.

The candidate is Anis Khandan.

The candidate's number is 0143251.

The examiner is Mehrnush Hafi, examiner number 443533.

Good afternoon.

My name is Mehrnush Hafi.

Would you please tell me your full name?

Yes, my name is Anis Khandan.

What can I call you?

Anus.

Sure.

Can I see your identification?

Yes, of course.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Great.

Thank you.

We can now get started with the first part of the exam.

In the first part, I will ask you some personal questions.

First, I'd like to ask about leisure time.

What is your favorite leisure activity?

Well I don't have a specific leisure activity but there are three activities that I like the most.

Reading books, listening to music and shopping.

I like shopping as much as listening to music and I love reading books because it takes you to another world.

What did you enjoy doing in your free time as a child?

Well, when I was a child I spent my time going to English classes and exercising.

I've been going to the gym since I was six years old and I love exercising but I'm not the only child.

I have one younger sister in summer and I read books and...

And do most people in your country get two days off a week?

Yes, they do because Fridays and Thursdays in my country are off.

So yes, maybe they stay home or maybe they go out if the weather is good.

Now let's move on to talk about neighbors.

Do you like your neighbors?

Yes, I do.

Fortunately, I have good neighbors.

And are neighbors usually close to each other in your country?

Yes, they are.

Most Iranian have a friendly and close relationship with their neighbours.

They can support us emotionally, they can help us or take care of our house when we travel.

How could your neighbourhood be improved?

I think respecting neighbour rules can improve our neighbourhood.

Like for example, avoid making loud noises, don't expect something from them, don't talk behind them.

And in general, maintaining a balance in a relationship.

Okay, thank you.

Now let's move on to talk about pets.

Do you have a pet?

No, I don't.

But when I was a child, I had two yellow and pink chicks.

What is a popular pet to have in your country?

As I saw, dogs are the most popular pets in my country.

I personally feel that the reason for this interest is dog loyalty.

Why do people have pets?

It's obvious that humans want to be social and be accepted by others.

So I think the people have pets to avoid loneliness and to have maybe one friend to watch,

walk, maybe talk or listen to music with them.

Okay, thank you very much.

Now we can move on to the second part of the exam.

So in the second part, I'm going to give you a card with a topic and you should talk about it for two minutes.

Before that, you have one minute to think about what you're going to say

and you can make some notes to help you if you wish.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Perfect.

Thank you.

So here's the paper for you to make notes, the cue card and a pen.

Thank you.

Here you go.

You're welcome.

So you should talk about an occasion when you lost something.

Now you have one minute to think about this topic and your one minute starts now.

Thank you.

Okay, now your one minute is over.

And you may talk about this topic for two minutes, but do not worry if I stop you.

You can start talking now.

Generally, I'm a careful person, but I don't know why sometimes it happens that you lost something and you probably can't find that.

I think it was last month that I've been training and I was really exhausted and thirsty.

I just got dressed in a hurry to get some water and I put my sneakers there.

When I got back, I didn't see my sneakers.

It was a very bad feeling.

I searched there very carefully, but I didn't find it.

I asked my friends and classmates.

They didn't know.

I just went and told the person in charge and I couldn't do anything else.

I just got home after I think three days one of my friends called me

and told me that come here I have an important news for you

and I just got there quickly and I say it's I saw my friend

and she says Anis guess what and I said

that I have no idea just tell me what happened

and she gave me my sneakers it was a very good feeling

because those sneakers were a gift and that

that day I thanked my friend and I was a really fortunate person

that day it was very good feeling do you want to

add more information losing I mean I mean losing something is important

but losing somebody is more important that that

when I was child of one time I lost my mother and it was terrible and I always remember that.

Okay, thank you very much.

Now we can move on to the third part of the exam.

100

So if you can just give me that paper.

101

Thank you.

102

Very well.

103

So, in the second part, we've been talking about an occasion when you lost something.

104

And now in part three, I want to ask you some questions related to this topic.

105

Why do people always forget things?

106

Well, I think it's because I'm completely sure it's about memory.

107

Maybe modern technology weaken human brains and people don't trust their memory to remember things and they force themselves to

108

use technology to remember such simple things like I don't know birthdays or Phone numbers.

109

Yeah, and what would you do if you lost something?

110

Well, it depends on what what I lost but if If it is important thing,

111

I will inform the police.

112

But if I lost something like, for example, pen, I will not do anything special.

113

And what is the best action to take if you find something?

114

As I mentioned, if you find something valuable, of course you have to go to the policy station,

115

but if you find something that is not really important like a pen or paper,

116

I think don't do anything special.

117

In our modern world, people tend to forget their culture.

118

What are the reasons for that?

119

Well, I think culture is everything.

120

Culture is the way we talk, the way we eat, the way we dress.

121

So humans want to experience numerous things.

122

Maybe this is one of them.

123

I mean, experience living with, for example, an Indian culture or a Chinese culture, that's exciting.

124

But in addition, technology has a big effect on our lives.

125

Presumably TV programs attract us to another culture.

126

Okay, great.

127

And in all civilizations, movies and plays about finding treasure or gold have always been popular.

128

Why do you think it's been like that?

129

It's been very popular for the people.

130

Because I think finding something that is valuable,

131

it's enjoyable, especially when you are trying so hard to find that,

132

and it actually change your life, your personality, your goals and such books

133

or movies will motivate you to try as hard as you can to make your own life.

134

Okay, thank you very much.

135

Now this is the end of the speaking test.

136

Now you can just take a breath and relax

137

and I'll need a few minutes to add up your score and then I'll give you the feedback, okay?

138

Thank you.

139

Okay, now let's get started with the feedback part.

140

First, I want to talk about the first criteria in IELTSA speaking which is your fluency and coherence.

141

In your fluency and coherence, I can say that the good thing in your answers is

142

that you are able to develop the topic

143

and give the answer to all the questions like in the first part you gave me some shorter answers

144

but you provided explanations in the second part you covered the bullet points

145

and in part three you gave longer answers

146

and as you had some pauses some self-repetitions or self-correction

147

but it was all natural and you didn't have many of those

148

and the another thing i should mention

149

and another like a suggestion I have for you is to use more connectives

150

if you can because you used some simple ones like and

151

so but because but other than those you use some good alternatives like in addition to

152

that or however I believe that you have the potential to use more connectives

153

but whatever you were using was very natural and you had the flow of speech in your speaking Now,

154

because of all the things I mentioned, you got a 7 in your fluency and coherence.

155

And we can now move on to the next criteria, which is your lexical resource, your vocabulary in your vocabulary

156

i can say this is one of your strong points

157

because you were able to use some collocations

158

and you had a very good paraphrasing for example got home i got home i was fortunate

159

a person in charge to have an effect to make a life or to talk behind somebody maintain a balance

160

This is very good.

161

You are using these words and some collocations and some fillers

162

and boosters or discourse markers regarding your fluency and coherence that you were using.

163

Maybe if you can use more idiomatic language, then you can boost your score.

164

So you got a seven in your lexical resources like your fluency and coherence.

165

Now to talk about your grammatical range and accuracy, the next criteria.

166

In your grammar, you were using a range of complex structures.

167

And by that, I mean subordinate clauses, conditional sentences, relative clauses, and compound sentences.

168

But again, if you use more connectives, you can even get the chance to use or to make more complex sentences.

169

For example, a mistake that many candidates make in the second part is that they don't understand what tense they should use.

170

or for example they are given a cue card in the past but they use present tense to talk about it

171

your problem in the second part was

172

that as you were telling a story you made some simple sentences like simple simple simple

173

and you linked them with the word and

174

so you can still give a wider range to your structure

175

but generally speaking in the three parts you were able to use these complex structures.

176

You just made a few errors with singular and plural.

177

Like you said, most Iranian, which is most Iranians, or last month that I've been training, but you should have said last month that I was training,

178

or last month I, for example, trained.

179

So something about past, it's not, it has nothing to do with present, that you use present perfect, or when I was child, which is when I was a child.

180

So it's mostly with like the problems,

181

the minor mistakes that you made with the grammar but you deserve a seven in your grammatical range and accuracy as well.

182

Finally to talk about your pronunciation.

183

Your pace of the speech is really good and it's very, it's totally clear to understand.

184

You just made a few mistakes with the pronunciation of the words,

185

For example, close, you pronounce it close and motivate.

186

And one last point regarding your pronunciation is the word cause.

187

In our daily speaking, we can say it like that.

188

I was happy because I was hanging with my friends.

189

But in I also speaking, you should make sure to fully pronounce the words.

190

You should say because.

191

So because of all the things I mentioned, you got another seven in your pronunciation.

192

I just recommend you to listen to more English podcasts, movies, because it can help you with your intonation.

193

At times, in some sentences, you sounded a bit flat.

194

You can still have a better intonation regarding your word stress or sentence stress, but generally, your score in your pronunciation is a 7.

195

Now, to wrap up, your overall band score would be a 7 in today's Speaking Mock Test, but if you have any questions or doubts, you can ask me your questions.

196

Thank you, it was great.

197

Wonderful.

198

So I wish you best of luck and have a pleasant rest of the day.

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。
