1
Could I please have your full name?
2
My name is Kim Ju Young.
3
Ju Young.
4
Yep.
5
Okay, Ju Young, nice to meet you.
6
Nice to meet you too.
7
Okay, I'm going to start with a few questions about your school or your workplace.
8
Are you studying, working right now?
9
Oh, I'm currently studying in a university in Singapore.
10
I just finished my first year.
11
I major in chemical engineering and Yeah,
12
I just finished my first year spending my time in Korea for my summer.
13
Okay.
14
Do you like your university?
15
Oh, yeah.
16
First of all, I study in NUS.
17
It's the largest university in Singapore.
18
And campus-wise, it's super large.
19
It's a public university and it's an open campus.
20
So you get to see a lot of visitors and there are a lot of facilities and amenities, a lot of dormitories.
21
So if you're living in campus, you get to meet a lot of your friends.
22
And on top of that, the food there is really good.
23
Yeah, that's an important one when you're away from home.
24
Right, definitely.
25
So there's a food court everywhere for each faculties.
26
and they have from Chinese, Korean, Western, sometimes Japanese, vegetarian, everything.
27
They have everything prepared.
28
I want to go there.
29
Pay a visit.
30
So do you think your school is a great place to study?
31
Oh, definitely.
32
The professors, they're well-credited.
33
They're really capable of teaching and on top of the lectures, they also provide tutorial sessions.
34
So you get to have discussions with your professor and sometimes your classmates.
35
Since I'm studying chemical engineering, lab facilities definitely is a big factor.
36
And they're well prepared.
37
They have a lot of equipment ready.
38
so let's say you run out of some chemicals
39
or equipments they're always ready to provide you with such items
40
and yeah Singapore it's a really academically competitive country
41
so just like Korea sorry yeah
42
so there is it really is the competition is really tense I would say
43
so my peers they're really they're really smart and intelligent so
44
if I need any help I do not necessarily need to go to the professor
45
or my tutors ask actually I just can't ask my peers and friends that's really cool talking about like
46
competitiveness in studies all those things how important do you think
47
is interest in what you study oh oh having interest in what i study is definitely like the biggest factor
48
because let's say you study computer science or medicine which is an academically rigorous course uh even uh
49
even if you graduate with a good grade or degree, if you don't have an interest in what you study and what you do in the future,
50
and you're just doing it for the paycheck, I definitely think you would burn out, get exhausted at the end of the day.
51
And yes, having interest in what I study is definitely a big factor.
52
So for me, I really like physics and chemistry.
53
So studying chemical engineering, I mean, although I'm studying, I just finished my first year, I find it really interesting.
54
And sometimes I look into research papers so that I gain more interest, talk to my peers and professors to kind of share insights.
55
Is there any subject in your field of study or to complete your course,
56
you've got a range of subjects?
57
Are there any subjects that you find challenging at the moment?
58
Oh, I'm okay with the chemical engineering courses.
59
So like thermodynamics and linear algebra and all those engineering courses.
60
but I really find it hard.
61
There was one course I took, it's called project management.
62
I had no idea what I was doing, and it was really frustrating for me because I just finished high school at that time,
63
and my communication skills was not as good, and since project management, they assign you with a team,
64
and you have to communicate with your teammates, group mates a lot and I really struggle with that part.
65
Okay, yeah, I'll just cut you over there.
66
Sorry to be rude.
67
No worries, no worries.
68
Okay, your part two question is going to be describe an ideal and perfect place where you would like to stay, like a house or an apartment.
69
Okay, you may start.
70
All right, so an ideal and perfect place I would like to stay in the future is a small apartment in Switzerland,
71
Bern, which is a country I visited for my graduation trip last year.
72
Mainly because, okay, so the scenery of my neighborhood and my house would be,
73
since it's a small apartment I just want it to be cozy and compact, minimal and the streets it would be filled with pedestrians
74
and cyclists because cycling is a really fundamental part of my life even in Singapore even in Korea
75
when I try to go somewhere
76
or navigate I always take my cycle along with me
77
so I wish my my future destination is surrounded with cyclists
78
which is in in Switzerland
79
and special features it would have is even though I cycle
80
I have ever since I was a child I really wanted
81
a garage of my own movies like a big hero
82
or some and some stories regarding like startups they always started in their own garage right
83
and I don't know I think garage having a garage will provide me with a bit of not only privacy
84
but also some sort of create creativity
85
because it's it's a really special facility to have in your house right
86
and yeah I said it would is likely to be small
87
because Switzerland unless I make a lot of money it's gonna be small
88
and yeah do I have to okay we can call it
89
there just the question out of curiosity what would you like to make in your garage oh yeah
90
so since it's a small apartment and I I'm a I'm a really big Lego enthusiast.
91
Okay.
92
So even I wouldn't have a dedicated Lego room in my apartment, but I wanted to be a part of the garage.
93
I think your wife would be very happy with it being in the garage.
94
Yeah, keep it out of the household.
95
Keep it in the garage.
96
Okay, let's move on to the part three questions.
97
What do you think buildings are going to be like in the future?
98
Oh, because I live in Singapore, there are a lot of modern architecture.
99
So, although there are some debates regarding, you know, vertical plant, what is it?
100
You know for building.
101
Vertical farming.
102
Yeah, vertical farming.
103
You know in Singapore there are a lot of skyscrapers with with greeneries
104
attached along their walls and although there are some debates whether it being sustainable or not,
105
I think in the future architectures and I mean architects architectures and skyscrapers,
106
they definitely need to consider a lot of sustainability.
107
Consider sustainability.
108
So Yeah, a lot of greeneries I would expect in the future.
109
Okay.
110
Why do some people choose to live in a city center?
111
City center?
112
Oh, mainly, first of all, city centers, it's really accessible to everywhere.
113
So let's say you're living in the north or in the extreme end of the country, it's really hard to reach the other side, the opposite end.
114
However, if you're living in a city center, which is likely to be really accessible,
115
such as public transport and also highways and everything,
116
a lot of locations within the country, I expect it to be very accessible.
117
And on top of that, a lot of amenities, like even if it's in your...
118
Like, let's say you're spending your weekend, you want to go somewhere, and within the city, you would basically have everything that you need.
119
Let's say a mall or historical monuments,
120
museums, restaurants, they're all prepared and located within the city center, so you don't have to move a long distance.
121
Yeah, so having the opportunity,
122
living in city center is basically all about the short distance that you have to travel to different places.
123
Okay.
124
Do you think people have different preferences for houses and apartments?
125
And what would people consider when they choose between them?
126
Sorry, can you repeat?
127
Yeah, so people have different preferences between houses and apartments.
128
What do people think about when they have to choose between those?
129
Like do I get a house?
130
Do I get an apartment?
131
What goes into that?
132
Like house, like villas?
133
Yeah, like a detached house.
134
Oh, okay, okay um for me I would definitely consider having to
135
because houses villas detached houses they require a lot of maintenance right
136
so if something goes wrong you either have to call call like a technician
137
or you have to fix on your own which is mostly the case
138
and for me I am NOT a really handy man regard regarding those.
139
So I would definitely prefer, I personally, I would prefer to live in apartments.
140
And also, if most of the detached house, I assume them to be away from the city center.
141
So they're quite exposed to the nature.
142
So sometimes bugs, pests, rats, I mean, city center as well,
143
but most of the time in detached houses, I expect them to be there and some people they're really scared
144
and terrified when they encounter one so that's a big factor
145
and also detached house it's more like you have your own space an apartment you're sharing the whole building
146
and you get you have to meet everyone your neighbors
147
when you're taking the elevator and for some people they consider privacy as a priority.
148
They prioritize privacy so they want their own backyard, they want their own house, their own building.
149
So that's also another big factor.
150
Okay, I'm gonna call it right here.
151
Good news, you speak really well.
152
Oh thank you.
153
I tried my best to find as many mistakes as I could
154
but I couldn't find too many of them no worries no
155
that's a good thing i'm i'm not supposed to find um a few
156
and i'm like really nitpicking some issues yeah yeah it's just one
157
or two things like for example you talked about architectures it
158
could have been easier to just say buildings right right
159
that sort of situation yeah um you also talked about your
160
cycle whereas maybe it would be more commonly just talking about your bike oh okay okay
161
that is true that is true
162
but again these aren't really like minor issues this is not something
163
that impacts your communication or anything right yeah i think that is
164
i think also at the one question i think when i asked you about ethios uni a good place to study
165
I think you gave a long answer
166
but somewhere in between you kind of hesitated a little bit because you were thinking of something extra to say.
167
If I had to give you advice for those sort of situations, if you had to ever retake this,
168
just end your answer because you already spoke quite a lot.
169
Oh okay.
170
Like if you run out of things to say just cut it there, you don't have to keep adding to something like okay just
171
say what you feel there's always the next question right
172
that being said with those very small faults out of the
173
way i think your fluency is excellent thank you like uh
174
you're pretty much near native level i appreciate this i don't think i think
175
if somebody had to meet you they would probably think
176
that you grew up abroad oh i would put you in
177
that category oh think your vocabulary is excellent there were a lot of great words that you used
178
like really native sounding words like you talked about your professors
179
having great accreditation i think you said right you talked about
180
the course being really rigorous all of those things excellent excellent stuff your answers were
181
so long so detailed okay like it's literally exactly what they're looking for oh really in like
182
when we have a grading sheet like what are we looking
183
for it's the same as a mark scheme yeah yeah it's
184
basically like okay able to produce long answers without any effort okay just tick tick tick oh okay
185
so i would definitely give you even with a little mistakes even the fact
186
that you didn't come prepared prepared for this test eight wow
187
and eight score it's an out of nine right yeah scale i would say like if the guy is
188
i don't even think a strict examiner would give you 7.5
189
i would say strictest scenario probably an eight it was really
190
really well done thank you sir i i can't really offer
191
you like lots of tips about what you can improve on
192
i think the people can just look at this as an example of this is how to answer really well
193
so thank you sir thank you very much noise

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.
