Let's start off by talking about plants and nature.

Do you have any plants at home?

No, I do have fake plant though.

I really don't have that what we call green hands where the plant will last with me for so long.

I did.

I had one but then didn't last for a week.

So I might try another one and let's see if it lasts long.

Would you like to grow plants in the future?

Yes.

I want to have my own farm.

Buy a massive lot back home in Philippines and just live a simple life.

Start planting and selling it.

Make it as a business.

Are gardens popular in your hometown?

Gardens?

Yes.

Every household in Philippines, there's really gardens where, you know, family can chill,

grow a lot of plants.

My mom had one back then, but right now we're living in a city.

So there's no space for her to grow plants or have a garden herself.

But that's one of her dreams, having her own garden.

Now let's talk about money.

What do you spend the most amount of money on?

I would say I spend most of my money for my rent, my car, and probably food.

I'm a foodie myself.

How have spending habits changed in your country over the years?

Basically, I moved in the UEE for my adult years.

So way back then, I really don't care about money.

it's more of the parents who handles the expenses and everything.

But right now, as an adult,

I wouldn't say oblige, but somehow Filipinos are obliged to send back to their parents,

send money monthly to pay for the expenses.

And right now with the economy back home, It's quite expensive, I would say,

which helped me learn and how to handle my finances more to be wise in what I spend.

What financial advice would you give to others?

I think if it's not a necessity, then just save it.

Just keep saving.

Always have at least half of your salary as savings.

The rest, maybe 25% will be your expenses.

10% will be things that you want to buy for yourself, your wants.

The rest would be, you know, other expenses like maybe give to charity or some works like that.

I do charity sometimes.

So I would definitely say 50% save it.

Now let's talk about food habits.

How often do you eat out?

Before we continue, I've created something very special for you.

It's called the Fluent Speakers Breakthrough Checklist.

And it shows you exactly how to move from band 6.5 to band 7 or above in four simple steps.

This is the same direct answer method

that helped this student go from 6.5 scores to success by fixing one strategic weakness at a time time.

I put everything that I know about this into this free checklist and you can download it in the description in seconds.

Just go to the description, click the link below and you can download it right away for free.

Three, two years ago I would really go out at least three times a week with my friends But right now,

having the thought of healthy living and thinking more about my future,

my investments, my savings and all of that, I barely eat out.

Occasionally, when there's a birthday or when I feel like treating myself like I've done a good job at work,

probably, yeah, that's the only time I would eat out.

What type of food do you usually eat?

As an Asian, I love Filipino food.

Really love Filipino food.

But I fell in love with Arabic food as well.

I love kebab.

I love shawarma.

I love, oh, I also love biryani.

But sometimes sushi or Japanese cuisine is my weakness too.

If you have a choice, do you prefer to eat at home or eat out?

Well, I love cooking.

So every day I really cook for myself, for my lunch to bring to the office.

But if I'm given enough money to eat out every day, why not?

Describe a creative solution you found to a problem.

Working as a hotel manager, I face problems every single day.

I had this experience where a VIP guest just checked in.

We thought everything was smooth, everything was okay.

But then in a couple of minutes, I saw one bad feedback in Google reviews saying like,

the staff wasn't that much helpful, the staff wasn't smiling.

And so one bad comment would definitely affect the image of the property.

Me being the hotel manager, I always go to an easy solution.

which is being more personalized

and reaching myself to the guest what i did was to give the guest a call in the room check

if the family was checked in well if there's anything

that she need and point out about the review

that she just posted in our property about our property and And then ask her what made her feel that way?

What made her post that comment or that review in our website?

And I will always try to put myself in the shoe of the guest to understand more where they're coming from.

And for me to be able to give a proper solution to her problem.

And I think the most creative solution in hospitality industry in dealing with complaints is being more personalized and just

be yourself and have that connection with your guests, like treat them as family.

Because with that, I think it's easier to solve the issue.

So we've been talking about creativity and solving problems in a creative way.

And we're going to continue to talk about that.

Let's talk about innovation.

Why are some people more creative than others in solving problems?

I think some people got critical thinking skills.

Some people would, some people are just happy-go-lucky.

Like, let's see what happens.

They always have this thought like, let's wait until the problem comes.

What role should creativity play in education?

I think it gives a very big impact, especially to students.

It helps these individuals know what they really want in life and it helps express what they feel.

100

For example, I used to be a dance troupe member and I was also in theater back then.

101

So for me, dancing is an art.

102

And I think it's a perfect way of expressing myself.

103

Now let's talk about creativity in the workplace.

104

How can companies encourage creative thinking?

105

I think a lot of companies are involved in these things these days.

106

Back then you go to the office to your nine-hour job, same cycle every day.

107

But then right now these days people are more vocal about their thoughts,

108

how to improve a company policy and how to improve the workplace.

109

I think the company being the company should really listen to their employees.

110

That way, the employees will put out their creative side, which could also benefit, give benefit to the company.

111

And finally, how important is creativity in today's job market?

112

It's very important it's because you have a lot of competitors out there

113

and if you're gonna just stick in your bubble

114

and not go out of your shell and express ways or show ways show out more skills and be more creative

115

I think it'll be difficult for you to go up there and be acknowledged with what you have

116

And I think it's very, very important to just express yourself and just believe in yourself that you're capable of what others can.

117

What I'm going to do is take each part.

118

We're going to talk about strategies and tactics for part one, two and three and how you could improve that.

119

And then we'll look at the marking criteria.

120

So pronunciation, fluency and coherence, grammar, vocabulary, how did you do with those?

121

And then we'll give you a score at the end.

122

Don't forget to grab your free Fluent Speakers Checklist.

123

Link is in the description below.

124

And if you want our complete system, our VIP system, there's also a 10% discount on our VIP course in the description below.

125

Both links are right there.

126

All you have to do is just click them.

127

Now back to the video.

128

So part one, you did quite well.

129

You didn't seem very nervous.

130

Maybe you were a little bit nervous, but you seemed quite comfortable answering those questions.

131

One thing that I did notice was sometimes you didn't answer the question directly.

132

So for example, I asked you how have spending habits changed in your country.

133

That question is really about your country, not about you.

134

You talked a lot about you.

135

You didn't talk about your country.

136

Part one is about you, but where you're from is a very, very common question and that is part of you.

137

Take a few seconds to think about what is the examiner actually asking me?

138

You didn't do it for every answer, but on test day, you might be super nervous.

139

A tactic that a lot of students use is just, I call it the shotgun method,

140

which is just spray information related to that general topic and hope they hit something.

141

You want to be less like using a shotgun and more a sniper.

142

So really targeted, take your time, think about what they're going to say to you.

143

If you're unsure, you can always say, can you repeat the question?

144

Or ask them, for example with that one, how have spending habits changed in your country?

145

You could ask them to clarify what some of the words mean

146

and they might paraphrase it or phrase it in a different way.

147

You could also use some fillers, for example, that's not something I've thought about before or that's an interesting question, let me think about that.

148

Or I've never really thought about that before.

149

It just gives you a little bit of time.

150

You wouldn't want to do that for every, you know, what's your name?

151

That's an interesting question.

152

Believe me, that has happened.

153

But it just gives you that little bit of time to think.

154

Another thing that you did was I asked you about food and you listed like every single type of food available.

155

Again, that's not a huge problem for one question, but a lot of students will do that for the majority of questions that they get.

156

What season do you like? well I like spring and I like summer and I like winter and I like autumn.

157

That is not an answer, that is a list.

158

Because the examiner wants you to show different things.

159

For example, can you construct a full sentence?

160

Can you use different tenses, different grammatical structures?

161

So just listing stuff, you're limiting yourself to just a bunch of words instead of really developing it out into a full answer.

162

So for part one, I would say, listen to the question, really focus on that.

163

And I would use the strategy of think, directly answer the question right away and then develop it.

164

I'm not saying this for every student that is Asian, but a lot of people from

165

that part of the world have been taught to not give direct answers and not be very direct.

166

And to kind of beat around the bush, you know, not really.

167

That's so true.

168

That's not a criticism, that's not saying that's bad, but it's just part of your culture, especially with teachers and education,

169

to not say, this is exactly how I feel about that.

170

That can cause problems on test day because you'd say, well, there's this thing that's kind of associated with the answer and this thing that's kind of related to the answer,

171

and you never really answer the question.

172

What often happens is because the examiner has to ask you so many different questions in part one,

173

they'll stop you and they'll move on to the next question and you haven't answered it yet.

174

The Philippines is known for having high levels of English but often scores can be quite low.

175

That's one of the problems and I'll talk about other problems really specifically for Filipinos

176

but you know it's related to a lot of people.

177

That is one one of the issues is just not answering the question.

178

Part two, similar.

179

Like part one, your fluency is great, but the thing you need to remember about fluency is fluency is connected to something called coherence.

180

So fluency is are you talking naturally at a natural pace without too many mm's, too many as, too many pauses,

181

but coherence is did you answer the question and did you actually develop it?

182

Your strategy there was to start off with the general background of the story

183

and you only at the end really talked about the actual question

184

which is describe a creative solution again it's a timed test

185

and the examiner might have you know 10 20 people to

186

examine they will stop you at about the two minute mark

187

so if you're spending two minutes just giving general background

188

and general context

189

and then you're going to answer the question at the end you might not get there before the examiner stops you Now,

190

a good examiner will wait a little bit, because like, I knew you were getting there, I knew you were getting to the answer.

191

But some of them might just be, you know, they're human beings, they might have had a bad day and you're the last person that they're, you know, and they just are like,

192

once you get to two minutes, and then they're like, well, the person didn't answer the question.

193

Yeah.

194

So similar to part one, answer the question right away.

195

Describe a creative solution you find to a problem.

196

I did this.

197

Answer right away at the beginning.

198

And that gives the examiner no chance to say she didn't answer the question.

199

And then when you've answered the question, then give all the supporting information related to that.

200

Part three, similar problems.

201

Not answering the question directly.

202

Yeah.

203

Giving lots of background information.

204

And not really developing your answers enough a way

205

that you could develop your answers is when somebody asks you one of these questions, what I would do is try and think of a concrete example.

206

It could be from your own life or it could be something a little bit more abstract, but why are some people more creative than others in solving problems?

207

You could think of a real person in your life or maybe a company like Apple are very, very good at solving problems.

208

Think of a real example and if you can answer the question and then say,

209

for example, Apple is known for coming up with very creative problems to solutions.

210

You don't have to do that all the time, but that might help you directly answer the question and develop your answer all at the same time.

211

Another thing that you could do is use that way that you have of thinking,

212

which is show both sides but instead of talking about what you think,

213

what a lot of people from Asia are very good at is using this technique which is,

214

well some other people think this and other people think another side.

215

And then what you do at the end is you say, and I would agree with B, don't worry if you get a question in part three, you're like, I can't think of a real example,

216

but just try your best.

217

There will always be answers, so if you don't know the answer, feel free to just say, I've never really thought about that, I don't know much about that at all,

218

but if I had to guess, people would say this.

219

Overall, you're doing quite well, but I'm focusing on things you can improve, because I think that you can do much better.

220

Now let's give you your score.

221

Let's start off with fluency and coherence.

222

Fluency, again, is can you speak without much effort, without many audible pauses?

223

Can you speak at a normal pace?

224

You have no problem with that.

225

That's probably your biggest strength.

226

And this is what I often find with Filipinos, is their fluency is great.

227

Because you guys speak English so much, fluency, and especially if you work in an English-speaking environment, your fluency is very, very good.

228

However, in the IELTS speaking test, fluency is connected to coherence.

229

They're both in the same criteria.

230

And if for example your fluency is at a band nine, but your coherence is at a band seven, you get a seven.

231

So you get the lowest ones.

232

Your fluency is actually at a very high level, but your coherence needs a lot of work.

233

So the good news is you can fix your coherence very, very easily.

234

Like if you have a problem with pronunciation, it could take you years to fix that problem.

235

You could fix that coherence issue today by just using the techniques that I just suggested.

236

Most of your answers, you did answer the question and you did have enough development, but there were those issues.

237

So overall, you would get a band seven because of your coherence.

238

Another big strength of yours, and again, this is very common with many Filipinos, is your pronunciation.

239

Pronunciation is very clear, easy to understand.

240

You also show some of the higher level features features such as intonation and word stress.

241

However, you can fix this problem very, very easily.

242

So don't worry about it.

243

Sometimes, maybe it's to do with nerves, but you speak inside your mouth at the back of your throat a little bit sometimes.

244

The main thing that the examiner is thinking about is, can I understand everything that she says?

245

Or are there times when I really have to focus on what you're saying because I'm struggling a little bit?

246

It's causing difficulty for it.

247

So 99% of the time, no difficulty at all, but I'm very close to you.

248

But sometimes you're just speaking at the back of your throat a little bit and it's not a pronunciation issue.

249

I think it's a confidence issue.

250

That is causing me sometimes to really think about what you're saying.

251

It's causing a little bit of difficulty.

252

So you wouldn't be able to get one of the top bands for pronunciation because of that.

253

All you have to do is just pretend that you're speaking to that back wall, not me.

254

Yeah, that's very good advice.

255

And it will fix that issue almost immediately.

256

And if you do, you probably will get a band eight or a band nine for pronunciation, which will really bring up your whole score.

257

But at the minute, it is a band seven.

258

So now let's talk about vocabulary.

259

But you did use some great expressions like I'm a foodie myself, happy-go-lucky, go out of your shell, put myself in the shoes of the guests.

260

And then you have very topic-specific words such as, you know, talking about hospitality,

261

hotel manager, VIP guest, checked in or for food and cuisine, sushi, Filipino food.

262

You know, you have no problem talking about those things and you have the vocabulary to back it up.

263

So there's some areas of improvement for vocabulary.

264

Sometimes you try to express something using a higher level idiomatic expression, but you'll get it slightly wrong.

265

For example, green hands instead of green thumb.

266

And sometimes you will use quite simple words repetitively.

267

Like, I really like this, or I really love this, or I think this, I think that.

268

And those are fine, but I think that you're capable of maybe using more advanced vocabulary there.

269

So there's lots of opportunities where you'd be able to say instead of I think this or I like this,

270

what would be a more advanced verb to use there if you wanted to go for one of the higher scores.

271

The score I would give you for vocabulary would be a band 7.

272

The reason for that is you are attempting some more advanced language at times,

273

but there are those little imprecise uses or inaccurate uses at times.

274

So most of your vocabulary is good.

275

And then to get one of the higher scores, you would need to both increase the range of your vocabulary a little bit and increase the precision, the accuracy a little bit.

276

But vocabulary is a balancing act.

277

If you try and go too far, you could drop down to a band six.

278

Because if you try and use words you don't really know how to use, then that could drop your score to a band six because you're making too many mistakes.

279

If you just need a band 7, I would stick to what you're doing.

280

Always be improving your vocabulary.

281

But if you want one of the higher scores, then we could help you out with that as well.

282

But it would take some time.

283

It would take at least a few months

284

if you wanted to get up to a band 8 or a band 9 for vocabulary.

285

So again, one of the things that we notice a lot with Filipino students is something called systematic errors errors.

286

This is because you guys speak English very well, very fluently, but you make a lot of little grammar errors and you don't correct each other.

287

That grammar error becomes ingrained.

288

And then you go and do an IELTS test or you move to an English-speaking country and then you, why do people think that I'm making mistakes or why am I getting a lower score?

289

Because to you, it sounds totally fine because you've been speaking, let's call it Filipino English,

290

for many, many years and no one has ever said that's an error.

291

But when you do the IELTS test, again, you're moving to an English speaking country, they will pick up on those errors that you are completely unaware of.

292

So for example, staff wasn't that much helpful.

293

It should have been the staff weren't very helpful.

294

Or every household in Philippines, there's really gardens instead of in every household called in the Philippines, there are gardens.

295

I know exactly what you're saying.

296

There's no problem with meaning, but there are a lot of those little, for example, subject-verb agreement issues,

297

article issues, and there's some tense inconsistencies.

298

So the way that the IELTS examiner will think about your grammar score is number of sentences with or without errors.

299

So for example, let's say just using round numbers, let's say you spoke a hundred sentences.

300

If more than 50 of those sentences had grammatical errors in them, more than half, you would get a band 6 for grammar.

301

If more than 50 of those sentences had zero errors, those would be known as error-free sentences, you would get at least a band 7.

302

In my opinion, there were more, just small little errors in most sentences,

303

so you would get a band 6 for grammar.

304

This is extremely common for Filipino students.

305

And this is one of the main reasons why they get 6.5.

306

So their fluency is great.

307

They answer the questions.

308

Their vocabulary is quite good.

309

Their pronunciation is excellent.

310

But this grammar issue brings them down.

311

That should be your main area of focus.

312

So overall, you would be in and around 6.5 or 7 overall.

313

Now for most people, seven is great for whatever they need to do,

314

but 6.5 is often not good.

315

It depends on what you want to do.

316

My advice would be to really focus on grammar, and that can be quite difficult because, as I said before, a lot of these issues are ingrained

317

because you've been making those errors for years and you don't know you're even making them.

318

It doesn't affect communication, so it's not a huge issue.

319

It just depends on what score you're hoping to get.

320

Any questions?

321

No. Less than 1% of people ever get a 9.

322

Less than 3% of people get a band 8.

323

Really?

324

So band 7 is quite good.

325

So don't worry.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
