Hello, welcome.

Hello.

So we can get started now and to begin, can you tell me your full name please?

My name is Chae-Yeon Lee.

Nice to meet you.

And are you working or studying right now?

Well, I'm mainly a student major in English literature but I'm also working at the same time.

What kind of work do you do?

I'm working as an interpreter and bilingual MC for the international events.

Oh, very cool.

Do you enjoy your job?

Yeah, I really like my job

because I'm the type of person who really likes to step out of my comfort zone and broaden my horizon.

And working as a freelance interpreter, I always get to meet various people.

Like I always work with different clients, different audiences.

So that really excites me.

So I really like my job.

And do you like your studying?

I'm trying to like my major because I used to study culture and anthropology, but I found out that it's not really my thing.

So I changed my major into English Literature, but I really like studying English, but English Literature, I'm not sure about it.

Fair enough.

And what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

In my free time?

Well, these days I started making cocktails because I really enjoy drinking.

So there's a lot of YouTube channels where they teach how to make some simple cocktails.

So I watched that, I followed the tutorials and served myself a glass of cocktails nearly every day.

And a couple of questions about your hometown.

What is your hometown?

Hometown?

Well, I live in Yongin.

I was born and raised in Yongin, so I basically lived my entire life in Yongin.

And it's a suburb city which is located in Gyeonggi Province.

And whenever I tell my friends that I live in Yongin, my friends always ask me, it's the city where Everland is located.

So I'm always like, yeah, but I've never been to Everland.

So yeah, the only thing that we have in our city is Everland, the amusement park.

Okay, good.

That sort of leads into the next question, which is what things do you like about your hometown?

My hometown, well, it's a peaceful city there aren't many people

because Seoul is so crowded so it's comparably more peaceful than Seoul

so that's the thing that I like about my hometown

and there's this Lotte Mall right near my apartment

so whenever I want to watch a movie

or whenever I want to grab some anything like foods I can do

that so it's very convenient like we have a great infrastructure

so I think that's the thing that I like about my hometown.

And what things do you not like about it?

Not like about it?

Well the transportation is bad

because I have to transfer twice to get to Seoul like Gangnam

so it's very inconvenient and additionally there's pretty much nothing in in yongin

so if i want to like hang out with me hang out with my friends

and i want to drink i i like always have to go to seoul so that's

not good because when i'm drunk i have to get back to yongin but that's nearly impossible yeah Sure.

Well, that sort of leads naturally into the next topic, which is public transportation.

There's a few questions.

Do people usually use public transportation in your country?

A lot.

Because I would say Korea has a great infrastructure, especially public transportation system.

So a lot of people commute by, especially subway.

So whenever I go to work, I also use subway.

So there's like a lot of people.

So I am kind of stuck in the subway every morning.

So that's a bad part.

But yes, people use a lot of transportation systems.

And what kind of public transport do people in your country use the most?

The most.

Just like I said right before, yes, subway, because we have over 20 lines.

So it's really easy.

It's really convenient to transfer like line to line.

So I think like many people take subway.

And this sort of all leads naturally.

What do you want to change about the public transport?

What I want to change?

Well, I've never thought about this question,

but I would say I hope there are more subways because in Seoul there are a lot of people using subways.

So always people are stuck in that subway.

So many people are like trying to get into the subway, so it feels kind of suffocating for me whenever I take the subway.

So I think I would, I hope that would change.

And will you ride public transportation in the future?

Yeah, probably because car is expensive because I have to, if I lease a car,

then I would have to pay at least like $500 a month

and that's pretty a lot for me because I'm still a student

so even if I get a job in the future I would still take on public transportation.

So that's the end of part one job so far and

for part two we have a question for you

and you'll have a minute to prepare for we can use this paper to take notes

and pencil to write and in a minute we can get started. May I start?

Yeah you can take notes.

Okay that is a minute and if you're ready you can take up to two minutes to talk about this topic.

Yeah, sure.

The things that I enjoy doing with a group of people is about work.

I am now also working as a translating manager for the 4M models at the model agency.

So shooting is a group work, teamwork is very important.

Photographers like makeup artists and models, those should make teamwork to perform well.

So as a trendsetting manager I always try to assist models so that they can perform their best.

So I always like give them water and always like have chit chat with them.

So those group work

and I always try to ask the client what kind of poses they want for the model

100

so that I can deliver it to the model.

101

So those kind of group works is very enjoyable

102

because I consider myself as a friendly person and working with a bunch of people really excites me and it's very enjoyable.

103

So yeah, I think this is the thing that I enjoy with people.

104

Okay, good.

105

Oh, should I talk more?

106

You don't have to.

107

We don't have to.

108

It was a little short.

109

You're at a minute and 21 seconds.

110

But it's OK.

111

Don't worry.

112

Don't worry.

113

We can move on now to part three.

114

Sure.

115

So, the first question, what kind of jobs need people to work in a team?

116

I'm sorry, could you repeat the question?

117

What kind of jobs need people to work in a team?

118

Well, probably most of the jobs need teamwork.

119

But I guess my job, interpreter, also needs to work as a team.

120

Because whenever I go to work, I work with buyers and also I perform in front of the audiences.

121

So in all those process of preparations, we need to communicate with clients.

122

And we need to, I always have to ask what they want from me.

123

So I think all those processes of communications and those steps, I think it's, we work as a team, right?

124

Yeah, good.

125

So yeah, my job interpreter.

126

Good.

127

What can parents do with their children to make them happy?

128

Well, I think parents themselves make children happy.

129

because for the children, parents are their life itself.

130

So I would say having time as much as they can will make children happy

131

because spending time with parents broadened their world.

132

hearing stories from parents and yeah that all those time would be worthy for the children and it will make them happy.

133

And how can children improve their social skills?

134

Social skills?

135

Well I think be engaged in extracurriculars in the schools would be one of the ways

136

that they can be socialized because being part of the group

137

and being engaged in the social social being engaged in those activities would make would enhance their communication skills

138

because they would have to like keep talk to others

139

and yeah so um i heard i know

140

that schools provide a lot of extracurriculars so be engaged in those activities would help them. And a final question.

141

What are the benefits of boys and girls playing together?

142

Well, that's a tricky question but but may I please have a second to think about this question?

143

Yes, take a minute.

144

Yeah, thank you.

145

Well, I think that there are some stigmas for the gender.

146

So if children, if like girls play with only girls and boys play with only boys,

147

their world is limited but if they play together

148

if they hang out together then they will get to understand of each other like how how the others think

149

and how that how they're different so i think

150

that would be the biggest benefit okay good good you made it to the end oh thank you

151

very nice very nice thank you um so now we can move on to a little bit of feedback Let's see.

152

So as you probably know, the IELTS exam is scored on four categories.

153

There's fluency and coherence, pronunciation, lexical resource, which is a fancy way of saying vocabulary, and grammar.

154

And you did a very good job in all of these categories, but we can talk about each one in a little bit of detail.

155

So in terms of fluency and coherence, very strong, sort of natural rhythm.

156

And in particular, in the beginning, you have very good connections between words and between ideas.

157

So that was very strong.

158

Your pronunciation is very clear.

159

didn't hear really any words that were pronounced in a in a sort of unnatural or

160

incorrect way so that was very good.

161

You also used a lot of good vocabulary.

162

Talked in part one about broadening your horizons,

163

infrastructure comparably, which is a nice way to talk about two different things.

164

And some good words in part three as well with extracurriculars and talking about kids being socialized,

165

which is a good morphology of social and stigma.

166

So there was a lot of good vocabulary.

167

More good news.

168

Your grammar is good.

169

Thank you.

170

The only things that jump out sort of throughout, and they're all very small.

171

The first one would be articles.

172

Articles, of course, from Korean are very difficult because they don't exist in Korean.

173

In a few cases, the article was dropped and in a couple places it was added.

174

For example, a few times when you're talking about the subway, I just talked about subway.

175

And sometimes they were added to, I think at one point in part two, you might have said shooting,

176

like a photo shoot, is a teamwork.

177

Yeah.

178

So that would be an article that you actually don't need.

179

Mm-hmm.

180

So those are, that's small, but an important thing.

181

Okay.

182

The other sort of grammar point would be around singulars and plurals.

183

Mm-hmm.

184

I think he once referred to audiences in plural, but often we just talk about audience, the audience, I'm going to meet the audience,

185

even though there are many people here, talk about them together.

186

And at one point in part one, I think he said pretty a lot,

187

which is close, but you can really just say a lot.

188

Those are the main points on those categories.

189

One part that's maybe, it doesn't relate specifically to these four categories, but in part three, well sort of actually let's go part two first.

190

In part two, you're a little bit short at a minute and I think 21 seconds.

191

So you have up to two minutes and it's always good to fill that time

192

as much as you can because it's an opportunity to show all the language structures that you can use.

193

And it's actually okay even to hit the two minutes and have the examiner tell you to stop.

194

So that's a minor thing related to the structure of the test.

195

Another thing related to the test itself is that part three, the questions are all very general.

196

and they want you to talk in general about it, but not with a personal example.

197

So the first question there about the jobs that people need to work in a team, I think you gave a personal example,

198

which I can understand because you had just talked about it.

199

But it's always good in that part three to speak generally, sort of at a sociological level rather than a personal level.

200

But overall, really, really strong, strong test.

201

I think really strong in the beginning and a few hiccups later.

202

But I would estimate your overall score around an 8.0, which is very good.

203

And yeah, you should be proud.

204

Thank you.

205

Thank you.

206

Thank you for coming in.

207

Thank you.

208

Thank you for having me today.

209

Yeah, thank you.

210

Thank you.

211

Thank you.

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.
