12
Dr. Beren, very nice to meet you.
13
What is your name?
14
My name is Crystal.
15
Fantastic.
16
And Crystal, how are you feeling today?
17
I'm feeling great.
18
Amazing.
19
Perfect.
20
Well, as you know, the test will be three past today.
21
And we'll take around 12 to 15 minutes.
22
So if you're happy, we can start.
23
Yeah, I'm happy.
24
I'm ready.
25
Perfect.
26
So to start with Crystal, I would love us to talk about food please.
27
Which type of cuisine is your favorite?
28
Well, I'm currently residing in Ho Chi Minh City, which is a thriving metropolis.
29
So I have sampled many types of cuisine, but I'm still Vietnamese.
30
So I'm a big fan of Vietnamese food because they are really tasty and nutritious.
31
Absolutely.
32
I agree.
33
Is there any food you don't like?
34
Well, there is a type of food that I don't particularly like.
35
It is fast food.
36
enough nutrition and it is not good for a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
37
I prefer home -cooked meals instead.
38
Amazing one then.
39
So you talked about Vietnamese food.
40
Can you please describe a traditional dish from your country?
41
Well, most Vietnamese people will go for pho but my go -to option would be buong bò hế.
42
The broth of Bung Phò Huế is made with fermented fish sauce and a lot of secret, flavorful ingredients.
43
And I think that is an amazing dish.
44
Well done.
45
Moving on now to talk about your hometown.
46
Where is your hometown?
47
I was born and raised in Dong Nai province, which is located in the south of Vietnam.
48
It takes about one hour and a half to travel to my hometown from Ho Chi Minh City by motorbike.
49
Perfect.
50
What do you like most about your content?
51
The thing that I like about my hometown is the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
52
And the people living in my hometown is really hospitable, which is important because I can
53
relax and recharge my batteries when I visit my hometown after long exhausting working days as hustle and bustle city, Ho Chi Minh City.
54
Thank you so much.
55
But is there anything you dislike about my hometown?
56
I think the lacking job opportunities and World -class education system are the main problems in my hometown.
57
So many young people, they migrate to other cities for seeking for jobs and school to study and work.
58
Interesting, wow.
59
And finally, let's talk about holidays.
60
Crystal, where did you go on your last holiday?
61
My family and I went to Võm Trần Beach last summer.
62
We had a wonderful time with each other and I feel that would be the biggest memory in my heart. So lovely.
63
So do you like going on holidays?
64
my families and I to have wonderful times with each other.
65
That's wonderful, thank you.
66
So Crystal, finally, what do you like to do on your holidays?
67
Well, my family and I usually travel and we visit many places of interest
68
so that we can take a lot of pictures of breathtaking landscapes.
69
We also love to spend time in Michelin star restaurants for example.
70
Last summer, my family and I went to Vũng Tàu and we visited a really luxurious restaurant restaurant there.
71
Thank you so much.
72
Crystal I really enjoyed that part one.
73
We will now move on to part two, okay?
74
Okay.
75
Where I will give you a question.
76
You have one minute to prepare and you will speak for two minutes, okay?
77
Okay.
78
So if I may give you the question here please.
79
The question is can you describe a town or city where you would like to live in the future?
80
So that's the end of your one minute now.
81
When you're ready please start your part two.
82
There are so many places in the world that I think they are brilliant to reside.
83
However, if I had to pick one, it would be Đà Nẵng, the golden sandy beaches and crystal -blink water of Đà Nẵng city.
84
Đà Nẵng is a coastal city located in the central of Vietnam.
85
I first learned about it through travel vlogs and my friends who have visited this city.
86
for a variety of reasons.
87
Firstly, it is one of the cleanest cities in Vietnam and with a well -preserved streets and public spaces.
88
Secondly, there are many places of interest such as Banna Hills,
89
which features a stunning mountain resort.
90
Finally, it is close to Hoi An ancient town, the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
91
There are many historic streets.
92
and well -preserved architecture.
93
The reason why I love to reside in Da Nang city is because since I'm passionate about English, therefore I want to travel to Da Nang.
94
I want to live in Da Nang and open an English center so that I can also inspire the students there.
95
Moreover, Da Nang has a sentimental value to me
96
because I traveled to Da Nang with the person I love most in the world, my stunning boyfriend.
97
great factor that I want to reside in Da Nang.
98
In the future, I hope I have a chance to make my dream come true.
99
Okay, thank you so much Crystal.
100
We will now move on to part 3.
101
I really enjoyed listening about Da Nang.
102
It's a fabulous place.
103
And let's continue to talk about cities in part 3.
104
Tell me, in part 3, why do more and more people live in the city?
105
for a bad list job opportunities.
106
However, personally, I think I also moved to or Ho Chi Minh City for world -class education system.
107
I went to a prestigious UEH university and I think it is a great opportunity for young students, young people to develop.
108
Absolutely, thank you so much.
109
But how does all these people moving to the city, how does this affect the environment and nature?
110
Well, I think the influx of people moving to the city will cause the high level of poverty pollution,
111
like both in air and water.
112
Moreover, the demand for housing and infrastructures can cause deforestation.
113
Yeah, so those are two main causes.
114
- Thank you.
115
- Brilliant, well done.
116
What are the differences between young and old people when they are choosing where to live?
117
In terms of young people, I think they would go for places that are the location
118
that is near their school or the company so that they can go to work and study easily.
119
However, old people, they love to live in a place with have a
120
peaceful and tranquil atmosphere so that they can have higher quality of life.
121
Brilliant, thank you.
122
And about travel, do you think it's important to know the culture and language before travelling to another country?
123
Absolutely yes, it can help you to avoid some unexpected mistakes.
124
Or you can, like for example,
125
my English teacher, he went to Vietnam and he didn't know how to use a chopstick to eat noodles. as well.
126
And what do young and old people think when they are making travel plans?
127
What do they think about in preparation?
128
Oh yeah, because young people love adventures
129
experience so that they will seek for many places of interest for exploration and enjoyment.
130
However, I think all people love to stay in the resort and enjoy the slow pace of life.
131
which is really important for them to relax after working days.
132
And finally, Crystal, tell me, what do you think of people that choose to work in international companies?
133
I think they are brilliant because they bend over backwards through to be employed in the international company.
134
So they will have many opportunities in their career path.
135
However, I do think some people have to face with the overwhelming environment and a lot of heavy workload.
136
For example, my friend, he worked in Deloitte, a Deloitte company, and he has to do a lot of,
137
he has to work overtime to finish all the works in the company.
138
Fantastic, well done.
139
Well, Crystal, thank you so much for doing the test today.
140
You can relax.
141
How did you find that experience?
142
I think it's a great experience, but a little bit heavy.
143
You can never think of it.
144
I tried to pick a test that was kind of a mixture of easier and difficult questions, but you did a fantastic job.
145
Thank you.
146
Thank you so much for coming.
147
Great job, Crystal.
148
Well done.
149
Thank you.
150
You see, you have nothing to worry about when taking on the IELTS challenge.
151
One thing that impresses me so much about Crystal is not only her confidence, but her incredible natural fluency and style when she speaks.
152
She's just having a natural conversation with a friend, and that really shines through.
153
Remember, you don't need to be too formal and rigid when doing your IELTS test.
154
Moreover, her vocabulary worked in really nicely and fluently.
155
It sounded so natural.

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.
