Shadowing Practice: IELTS Speaking Test band score 7 with feedback, 2025 - Learn English Speaking with Video

In the first part of the exam, I will ask you some personal questions.

First, I'd like to ask you about studying.

Do you work or study?

I currently work, but I've been studying till the last year.

And I have studied English translation, actually, at the university.

and what is or what was the most interesting part of this major?

I think literature.

We had poetry courses, we had literature courses,

and I really enjoyed those courses in our college years, university years.

And what kinds of majors do the people in your country study?

All kinds of major, I think.

But I think medical majors are very popular nowadays in our country.

But it used to be engineering, I think.

Now, let's move on to talk about languages.

Can learning languages help us?

Learning languages help us.

Yeah, of course.

They help us in many ways in being able to connect with the world and being able to learn about other cultures.

It helps in all sorts of ways.

And have you ever learned a new language, or do you wish to?

Yes, I have tried to learn Spanish, and I have also tried to learn some Turkish, but I'm not really fluent in those languages.

But, yeah, I think it's a really fun experiment.

Does knowing languages allow effective conversations?

Of course, that's how we connect.

We use language through language, we connect with other people.

And knowing the language and actually knowing the culture of language would significantly help us to better connect with other people.

Now let's move on to talk about smiles.

Smiles?

Yes.

What are the things that make you smile?

Lots of things.

There could be lots of occasions.

Like seeing a little girl picking a flower and giving it to her mom would make me smile.

Seeing someone doing some acts of kindness.

Cats, I don't You know,

seeing like when people playing football, yeah, things I like.

And when was the last time someone smiled at you?

I think just in the beginning of our conversation, you had a beautiful smile and you smiled at me.

I think that was the last one.

Do you like to smile while posing for photos?

Actually, I get really awkward, like for posing in front of cameras.

I'm not really good in front of the camera,

so I might sound a little bit clumsy to the photographer or videographer.

Why do you think so?

Because I think I'm more of an introverted kind of person.

And because of that, I am not really comfortable sharing and coming out in front of the people.

All right.

Now, that's the end for part one.

For part two, I'm going to give you a topic.

And I'd like you to talk about it for up to two minutes.

Before you talk, you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say.

And you can make notes if you wish.

Do you understand?

Yes, I do.

All right.

You can take some paper and a pencil to make notes. And here's your topic.

I'd like you to describe a big company in your hometown that employs a lot of people.

Here's your cue card.

Thank you.

Your one minute preparation time is over and you can start speaking right now.

All right.

So a big company that employs lots of people has lots of staff.

And my My hometown is Ligicala, that comes to my mind.

It is a very big company and they actually started as an online market for buying phones.

But they expanded after that and included all sorts of products in their store.

And people now can almost find any sort of products there and it somehow could be considered the Amazon of Iran.

The headquarters for the company is located in Tehran,

but they have offices throughout the whole country.

I think they provide lots of opportunities for working

and from like the staff in marketing and they have people in production

and they have a wide distribution system

and they will deliver the packages throughout the whole country so

that takes lots of energy and that takes lots of effort and i think

I think they actually might spoil the citizens

because they can buy anything online and get them delivered to them in just a matter of minutes or days.

and the disadvantage is I think of online shops you might not always get the actual product

that you see on the website and you might actually get delivered the wrong order

or you might actually get the whole different product

and you have to send it back and yeah some confusions may happen there

and yeah uh did you have the experience of buying online from that company that you mentioned

yes actually i've been uh actually i've been a customer of the website for years

and yeah i have bought different kind of products

but mainly uh technology related products like hard drives and things like

that all right thank you so much that's the end of part two please hand me back Yes, paper, the cue cards, and the pen.

And now let's move on to the third and the final part.

All right.

We've been talking about a big company in your hometown that employs a lot of people.

And now I'd like to ask you some questions related to this.

What is the benefit of working in large companies?

You, I think when you work in a big company, you become a part of a community

and you have the advantage of meeting people and at work

and you can have like group activities as a company or

or you can go on and have a holiday with your co-workers.

Do you think the work environment or work culture plays an important role at a firm?

Of course, like where we work,

the atmosphere that is dominant in our workspace could really affect how we do our jobs.

So I think that plays an important role

and companies should actually dedicate considerable amounts of effort into making the working atmosphere as friendly and productive as they can.

100

And do big organizations provide better opportunities than smaller organizations?

101

It depends, not necessarily.

102

I think you could do good in a local business.

103

You could do even better on a big company.

104

It depends on the person, actually, I think.

105

And it could be different for individuals.

106

And has technology become inseparable at workplaces today?

107

I do think so, yes.

108

I think wherever you go these days, you will find a computer sitting on a desk.

109

And it's an inseparable part of businesses today.

110

And I think technology has helped us a lot.

111

And we do not have to do menial things ourselves.

112

And we don't have to sometimes think about some problems.

113

And the computer will do the thinking for us.

114

And what do you think the future of technology at the workplace would be?

115

To be cynical, to see the half empty part of the situation,

116

we people might not have any kind of job, so not being in a workplace to start with.

117

But to be optimistic and to see the half full,

118

we don't have to do any kind of menial and ordinary jobs and we do the creative and fun part.

119

Thank you very much.

120

That's the end of the speaking test.

121

Please give me two minutes to review your performance and we'll get back to you with the feedback.

122

Thank you for your time.

123

Do you want to know what band score you'll get in the IELTS speaking test?

124

Perhaps you want to improve your performance and prepare yourself for the real test.

125

Then why not book an online mock test with us that will last for 25 minutes,

126

12 minutes of the test itself and 13 minutes of comprehensive feedback.

127

Plus, we'll give you useful tips on how to make your performance better.

128

So, we know how to help you.

129

Join us.

130

Okay, that was a lot of talking.

131

Do you have any questions?

132

No, thank you very much.

133

I really appreciate that you give me this feedback because I know this will help me.

134

This is exactly what I need.

135

Welcome back.

136

I did review your performance based on the four criteria or band descriptors, fluency and coherence, lexical resource,

137

grammatical range and accuracy and pronunciation to be straight forward with you.

138

You were great.

139

All of those four criteria, you demonstrated a great capability to overcome all of the challenges and also maintain the flow of speech.

140

Let's begin with the fluency part.

141

you did have minor hesitations and all of those hesitations have nothing to do with language.

142

You were searching for ideas and as long as it's not language related, it's okay.

143

So it's content related.

144

You are trying to come up with the ideas and the right way of expressing your answers.

145

It's okay.

146

Those are natural hesitations, which everybody, even those speaking English as their mother tongue, they face such issues as well.

147

Lexical resource, nothing, no issues to mention, no shortcomings, no problems.

148

And I've jotted down all of the great and strong points that you demonstrated it.

149

You used act of kindness, which is a great way of referring to the question that I asked you.

150

You used some advanced words like clumsy, introverted.

151

You also used some idiomatic language.

152

You said nowadays with CPC sitting on a desk of every company.

153

You also said half empty, half full.

154

This colloquial language is needed to enhance your band score, and you really rocked it.

155

Thank you so much.

156

And then also used appropriate collocations.

157

You said, provide opportunities, deliver packages in a matter of minutes, in a matter of days,

158

dominance dedicate a considerable amount of time

159

and none of them were faked none of them were unnatural

160

they're all natural they're not memorized there's something we call a

161

memorized language you intentionally sometimes try to use some words

162

or terms that are you have memorized and you search for occasions or opportunities to try to use them,

163

but none of this happened today,

164

and you used all of those collocations and terms and words naturally.

165

Grammar, flawless.

166

There's one single issue, which I know you were a little bit nervous or stressed out.

167

You said A online, N online.

168

And then you use some redundancies like throughout the whole country.

169

When you say throughout, it's throughout the country or in the whole country.

170

And then, yes, but you need to also use complex structures.

171

You missed out on that.

172

you have to intentionally try to come up with some more complex structures to, I know you know, but perhaps you forgot.

173

You need to also focus on this part to increase your band score.

174

When it comes to pronunciation, it was clear, easy to follow.

175

You had the stress on the words and on the sentences.

176

But the thing you need to add is the intonation, the rise and fall, the rise and fall based on different circumstances.

177

You're talking about, for example,

178

something unpleasant, you fall, and then there's something that provokes happiness, you rise.

179

This natural rise and fall, or what we call intonation, is needed for you to show the examiner that you are natural English speaker.

180

Good luck, Emirates, on your next journey.

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.
