Hello everyone and welcome back to IELTS Time.
2
Today's video is a special one because it's the final episode of 2025.
3
As the year comes to an end, I want to thank you for spending part of your IELTS journey with us.
4
Whether you've been watching for months or you've only recently found the channel, we're really glad you're here.
5
To close out the year, we're working with an everyday topic, shoes.
6
As always, we've prepared two mock interviews.
7
Let's start with Joseph.
8
Do you like buying new shoes?
9
Yes, I do enjoy buying new shoes, but only when there's a real reason for it.
10
I like replacing an old pair that I've worn for a long time.
11
It feels rewarding to get something new that's both comfortable and fits my style, rather than buying shoes just to follow trends.
12
How often do you buy shoes?
13
I don't buy shoes very frequently.
14
On average, I'd say maybe two or three times a year.
15
I tend to use my shoes until they're no longer comfortable or start falling apart, so I only shop when it's necessary.
16
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
17
I'd say I own around five or six pairs in total.
18
That includes a couple of everyday sneakers, one pair for sports, and one formal pair.
19
I try to keep things simple and only own shoes that I actually wear.
20
What kind of shoes do you usually wear?
21
I usually wear sneakers because they're practical and suit my daily routine.
22
I walk quite a bit and sometimes stand for long periods, so I need something supportive.
23
I also own a pair of formal shoes, but I only wear them on special occasions.
24
Do you have a favorite pair of shoes?
25
Yes, I do.
26
My favourite pair is a set of sneakers that I've had for a while.
27
They're extremely comfortable and already broken in, so I can wear them all day without any discomfort.
28
Do you prefer comfortable shoes or fashionable ones?
29
I strongly prefer comfortable shoes.
30
Of course, I want them to look decent, but comfort is the priority.
31
If my feet hurt, I can't focus on what I'm doing, so I always choose shoes that feel good, even if they're not the most fashionable.
32
Is it important for you to wear the right shoes for different occasions?
33
Yes, I think it's quite important.
34
The right shoes help you look appropriate and confident.
35
For example, I'd wear clean sneakers for casual outings, but I'd switch to something more formal for events like interviews or weddings.
36
Have your shoe preferences changed since you were younger yes they've definitely changed when i was younger i was more interested in
37
popular brands and styles now i care more about comfort durability and whether the shoes are suitable
38
for my daily life do you usually spend a lot of money on shoes no i wouldn't say i spend a lot i try to find a balance between price and quality i don't mind paying a bit extra
39
if the shoes will last longer, but I avoid very expensive or luxury brands.
40
Where do you usually buy your shoes?
41
I mostly buy shoes online because it saves time and gives me more choices.
42
That said, if I'm buying something like formal shoes, I prefer going to a physical store so I can try them on and check the fit properly.
43
Do you prefer wearing shoes or sandals?
44
I prefer wearing shoes in general because they're more comfortable for walking and offer better support.
45
However, during summer or when I'm on holiday, I enjoy wearing sandals because they feel lighter and cooler.
46
Are shoes important in your daily life?
47
Yes, shoes are quite important to me.
48
Since I spend a lot of time moving around, wearing good shoes affects my comfort and energy.
49
When I have the right pair on, I feel more relaxed and productive throughout the day.
50
That was a solid, practical performance from Joseph.
51
What makes his responses stand out is his cohesive flow.
52
He links his lifestyle choices directly to his footwear needs seamlessly.
53
He proves that you don't need to be a fashion expert to deliver a high-level, logical response that hits the mark for fluency and coherence.
54
Now let's switch gears and listen to Blondie who offers a more descriptive and enthusiastic take on the same topic.
55
Do you like buying new shoes?
56
Absolutely, I'd say I'm a bit of a shoe enthusiast.
57
There's something incredibly satisfying about finding a pair that perfectly complements an outfit.
58
It's not just about the utility for me, it's a bit of a retail therapy session whenever I'm browsing for a new addition to my collection.
59
How often do you buy shoes?
60
I wouldn't say I'm a compulsive shopper, but I probably pick up a new pair once every few months.
61
I try to be somewhat discerning, waiting for seasonal sales or until I see a unique design that I feel I simply can't live without.
62
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
63
To be honest, I've slightly lost count.
64
If I had to guess, it's probably around 15 to 20 pairs.
65
That includes everything from my beta sneakers for the gym to a few pairs of elegant heels that I save for special occasions.
66
What kind of shoes do you usually wear?
67
On a day-to-day basis, I almost always gravitate toward white leather trainers.
68
They are incredibly versatile and bridge the gap between casual and smart casual perfectly.
69
Since I'm often on my feet or commuting, they provide the necessary support without sacrificing style.
70
Do you have a favourite pair of shoes?
71
I do.
72
My absolute favourites are a pair of classic Chelsea boots.
73
I bought a couple of years ago.
74
They've moulded to the shape of my feet over time, making them exceptionally comfortable and they seem to go with just about every pair of jeans I own.
75
Do you prefer comfortable shoes or fashionable ones?
76
That's a tough one, but if I had to choose, I'd lean toward comfort.
77
I've definitely made the mistake of buying sky-high heels that looked stunning but left me with blisters after an hour.
78
These days, I look for that sweet spot where a shoe is both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically sound.
79
Is it important for you to wear the right shoes for different occasions?
80
Definitely.
81
I think shoes are the foundation of an outfit.
82
Wearing flip-flops to a formal wedding or stiff-dress shoes to a hike would not only look out of place but would be totally impractical.
83
I believe in dressing appropriately for the venue and the vibe.
84
Have your shoe preferences changed since you were younger?
85
Significantly.
86
When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with whatever was cool, regardless of how they felt.
87
Now that I'm working and more active, I prioritise quality and durability.
88
I'd much rather invest in one high quality pair than five fast fashion pairs that fall apart in a month.
89
Do you usually spend a lot of money on shoes?
90
I'm willing to splurge if the quality justifies the price tag.
91
I view shoes as an investment.
92
A A well-made pair of leather boots can last for years if you take care of them.
93
However, for trendy items that might go out of style quickly, I usually stick to more budget-friendly options.
94
Where do you usually buy your shoes?
95
It's a mix.
96
I enjoy browsing high street shops so I can try them on and check the fit, but I also do a fair amount of online window shopping.
97
If I'm looking for something specific or a particular brand, I'll often check authorised retailers online to compare prices.
98
Do you prefer wearing shoes or sandals?
99
I'm definitely a shoes person.
100
I feel more put together in a pair of closed-toe shoes or sneakers.
101
Sandals are great for a beach holiday or a particularly sweltering summer day.
102
But for my daily routine, I prefer the structure and protection that shoes provide.
103
Are shoes important in your daily life?
104
Incredibly so.
105
Beyond the fashion aspect, they are a functional necessity.
106
Since I lead a fairly on-the-go lifestyle, having reliable footwear is the difference between a productive day and a miserable one spent dealing with sore feet.
107
They really do carry you through your day.
108
That was certainly a different energy.
109
Blondie's responses are a masterclass in lexical resource.
110
She effortlessly uses nuanced, idiomatic language to express her style.
111
She also demonstrates great flexibility, moving from practical considerations about comfort and durability to more personal reflections on fashion as an investment.
112
It's a perfect example of how to extend your answers by adding a bit of personal flair.
113
And with that, we've reached the end of our final episode of 2025.
114
As we look ahead to 2026, I want to wish you all the very best with your goals.
115
Studying for the IELTS isn't just about a score.
116
it's about opening doors to new chapters in your lives and it's a privilege to be part of that journey take a well-deserved break celebrate how far you've come and we'll be back with fresh episodes in the new year happy new year everyone and we'll see you in 2026

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.
