쉐도잉 연습: IELTS Speaking Band 7: Five Tips - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
Many students think to get a band 7 in IELTS speaking, they need more advanced vocabulary or more complex grammar.
2
But that is not always the problem.
3
You may know enough English, but you can't use it effectively.
4
So in this video, I'm going to show you five practical tips to help you answer IELTS questions more effectively
5
so you can move from a band 5 or 6 towards a band 7.
6
Let's do it.
7
Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy, here to help you become a more confident speaker of English.
8
So in this video, I'm going to give you five practical tips to help you give more effective answers in IELTS speaking
9
and move from a band five to a band seven.
10
Oh, and stay until the end, because I have a bonus tip for you that most teachers don't talk about.
11
And of course, there is a free PDF you can download here with a summary of these tips,
12
but also lots of extra model answers based on recent IELTS topics.
13
There's a link in the description below to get that.
14
Let's begin with tip number one.
15
So number one, answer the question directly.
16
Don't spend the first five seconds thinking about your answer or giving lots of background information.
17
No, start with the answer, especially in IELTS Speaking Part 1.
18
Okay, this is important because it helps you begin, but it also makes the answer easier to follow for the examiner.
19
So give the answer in the first sentence and then add a reason or some detail.
20
Actually, that's a nice framework.
21
Answer directly plus reason or detail.
22
For example, do you enjoy cooking?
23
Well, cooking is something many people do every day and there are many different kinds of cooking in my country.
24
Okay, I'm speaking, but it's not a good answer.
25
I've not answered the question.
26
Much better would be, yes, I do, especially at the weekends.
27
I normally make something simple like pasta or curry.
28
I actually find cooking quite relaxing. Can you see?
29
Answer directly.
30
I didn't begin with the history of cooking.
31
I began with, yes, I do, and then a detail.
32
So remember, answer the question directly.
33
Let's move on.
34
Number two, develop one clear idea.
35
A developed answer is not just a long answer.
36
It's an answer where each sentence adds something useful.
37
Okay.
38
This is especially true in part three, where you're expected to give an opinion and develop an idea.
39
discuss more abstract ideas in detail.
40
Don't just ramble.
41
This is important, right?
42
Because you need to show the examiner you can speak at length, you can organize ideas with coherence,
43
and you can explore an idea in more detail.
44
So my suggestion is give an opinion, say the reason why, and then also explain the results or give an explanation,
45
but just one idea, okay?
46
It's kind of thinking, what do I think?
47
Why do I think that?
48
And what does that mean?
49
Let me show you an example.
50
Let's take a part three question.
51
Why do some people prefer working from home?
52
Well, I think they prefer it because it's more convenient.
53
Okay, that's an opinion, but not really developing an idea.
54
A better answer would be, I think the main reason is convenience.
55
People don't have to spend time traveling to work, so they can better organize their day.
56
And this means they can have maybe more time to spend with their family
57
or following a hobby or doing some personal matters.
58
Much better.
59
Notice the second answer doesn't use very difficult English,
60
but it takes one idea and develops the idea logically.
61
That's what you need.
62
Develop one clear idea.
63
Here comes tip number three.
64
Okay, number three, think, but don't overthink.
65
So take a second to think of what you're going to say, but then don't wait too long.
66
Start speaking.
67
Many students just wait too long.
68
They start trying to get a really good idea.
69
They start trying to structure the idea, almost like a writing essay before speaking.
70
And this really doesn't work, especially in IELTS part three, right?
71
It can have a really negative effect.
72
What can happen is your hesitation is too long.
73
You lose your fluency.
74
It also makes you more nervous.
75
So you're more likely to go blank.
76
And also when you start speaking, your English may sound less natural.
77
Okay.
78
So my advice here is use the one thing opener.
79
And that is to focus on just one thing
80
and start speaking about the one thing and then develop your answer as you're speaking.
81
This is what you do in real life.
82
When chatting with friends, you don't listen to a question and go,
83
you start speaking and then you get more ideas as you speak.
84
You develop the idea as you speak.
85
So use the one thing opener.
86
You can say something like, the one thing about this is, the one thing I would say here is,
87
I suppose one explanation might be,
88
I think the main thing about this issue is,
89
and then develop that one idea.
90
For example, an IELTS Speaking Part 3 question.
91
Should governments do more to encourage people to exercise?
92
I'm thinking of government policies and statistics in my country.
93
No, don't.
94
Try something like this.
95
Yes, probably.
96
I think one simple thing governments can do is offer free sports facilities.
97
That might be an outdoor gym in the park or a swimming pool or free classes.
98
And I think if people had access to these facilities near their home,
99
they might be more willing to take up sport or do exercise on a regular basis.
100
Here you see a much better answer.
101
Started speaking, develop my answer as I went along, but I had that one thing to help me get started.
102
So think, but don't overthink.
103
Most importantly, start speaking.
104
Focus on the one thing.
105
And right now, let's move on to the next thing.
106
Tip number four.
107
It's coffee time.
108
Oh, if you want to review these tips and see more model answers, download the free PDF.
109
Right now, let's carry on.
110
Tip number four, focus on communication, not forced complexity.
111
What I mean by forced complexity is students trying to use complicated English when it's not necessary.
112
Okay.
113
Yes, for a band seven, you need a range of vocabulary and grammar,
114
but used naturally to express the idea you want to give.
115
The problem is a lot of students try and force the complicated grammar
116
or vocabulary when it doesn't fit and it doesn't sound natural and it doesn't show flexibility.
117
Often we see this when students try to use a memorized idiom
118
and it doesn't work or they're using very formal vocabulary
119
that doesn't fit or they're using extremely long sentences
120
that they have written out and doesn't sound natural and all of this backfires.
121
It will just blow up, doesn't work.
122
What you should do is use simple language when it can express your idea, the idea you want.
123
Use complex language when it helps convey your idea.
124
Paraphrase, if necessary, if you can't get the right word.
125
It's about flexibility.
126
It really is.
127
Let me give you an example.
128
Do you like the area where you live?
129
Yes, I'm over the moon to reside in this breathtaking metropolitan vicinity because it provides a plethora of indispensable amenities.
130
Great answer.
131
No, not a good answer.
132
It will make the examiner laugh for sure, but it's not a good answer.
133
You need to be much more natural.
134
Something like this.
135
Yes, I do.
136
It's a fairly quiet area, but everything I need is within walking distance.
137
What I like most is
138
that I can get into the city centre without having to actually live in the centre of town.
139
Now, that is a much better answer.
140
Simple English and some complex English flexible, expressing the idea I want to convey.
141
So that's it.
142
Remember, communicate clearly, focus on communication, not forced complexity.
143
Let's move on.
144
Number five, give specific examples.
145
This is particularly true in IELTS part three.
146
examples can take a very abstract idea and make it very concrete and easy to follow.
147
They're particularly useful because they can clarify what you're trying to say.
148
They can give you opportunities to use a lot more interesting language.
149
And really, they just help you extend the answer.
150
You need to develop your answers in part three.
151
right?
152
Examples can include, even in part three, a personal example, an example from your country,
153
a hypothetical example, maybe a comparison, a typical person, a typical place.
154
And just note, you can say, for example, but there are different ways you can do this as well.
155
Well, you can introduce an example saying, a good example of this is,
156
take, for example, you can see this when,
157
imagine someone who, or imagine a situation where,
158
all of these are different ways of introducing examples.
159
Let me give you an example all.
160
Why is it difficult for some people to maintain a healthy lifestyle?
161
Well, I think because they're very busy and they don't have enough time.
162
Short answer, not great.
163
Much better would be.
164
Well, one reason is that people are very busy.
165
You know, maybe they've got a hectic schedule.
166
For example, someone who works long hours and has an hour commute to work and home every day,
167
when they get home, they're not going to have the time or energy to cook a healthy meal.
168
They're more likely to pop into a convenience store, buy something cheap and unhealthy and cook that in the microwave.
169
Can you see how it develops the answer?
170
It makes my idea much more concrete and specific,
171
and the opportunity or the language that comes out is much richer,
172
and that's gonna help you get a higher score in your IELTS speaking test.
173
So remember, give examples.
174
Okay, finally, my bonus tip for you is be yourself.
175
Now, sometimes students go into the IELTS speaking test and they try to be a different person.
176
They're trying to impress the examiner, pretend they've got a higher level than they have, trying to be intelligent and sound really, really good.
177
But they're not a real human.
178
They become a robot and they enter robot mode in the test.
179
Now, it's true the examiner evaluates English.
180
Not personality, but they evaluate natural conversational English.
181
And if you have a memorised answer, you sound robotic, it doesn't help.
182
But it does help if you adjust yourself, right?
183
If you can, give your genuine opinions.
184
Talk about your real life experiences.
185
If you don't know about a topic, say, I don't know much about this, but, and they say, then say something.
186
If you like smiling, smile.
187
If you want to show some emotion, give your answers some emotion.
188
Be yourself and you're going to do much better than trying to be someone else.
189
Really, trust me.
190
That's it.
191
That's my bonus tip.
192
So as a quick summary, answer directly.
193
Develop one idea.
194
Start talking.
195
Communicate clearly.
196
Give examples. Be yourself.
197
All of that.
198

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
