I'm going to ask you some personal questions.
12
First question I will ask, let's talk about your free time.
13
How do you usually spend your free time?
14
Well, it depends on my mood.
15
Sometimes I like to relax with a book or movie, and the other times I go for a walk or catch up with friends.
16
In fact, I try to keep a balance between rest and being active.
17
Okay.
18
Do you prefer spending free time alone or with friends?
19
Actually, both.
20
I enjoy hanging out with friends for fun activities, but I also need a long time to recharge.
21
You know, it really depends on how I'm playing.
22
Okay.
23
Has your way of spending free time changed over the years?
24
Definitely.
25
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time playing games or going out,
26
but now I prefer more productive activities like reading or learning new skills or something like that.
27
Okay.
28
Now let's talk about shopping.
29
How often do you go shopping?
30
not very often i usually shop once
31
or twice a month unless i need something urgent you know
32
i prefer to buy everything in one go okay do you prefer shopping online or would you rather in store
33
online for sure because it's more convenient and i can compare prices easily
34
but for something like clothes i prefer in store shopping to
35
try them on is shopping an enjoyable activity for you
36
or just a necessity mostly a necessity i like buying things i need
37
but i don't enjoy spending hours browsing
38
so i prefer to shop efficiently now let's talk about traveling do you like traveling Absolutely.
39
I love exploring new cultures, meeting people and trying different foods.
40
You know, traveling is always a refreshing experience for me.
41
What is the most interesting place that you've ever visited?
42
It was Tulum, one of the interesting cities of Mexico.
43
The mixture of ancient temples and modern life was fascinating and the food was amazing.
44
Do you prefer to travel alone or do you like traveling with others?
45
It depends.
46
I enjoy group trips for fun, but I also like solo travel because it gives me more freedom to explore.
47
Okay, that concludes part one of the exam.
48
We're going to move to part two.
49
Now I'm going to give you a topic, and I'd like you to talk about it for about two minutes.
50
Before you talk, you'll have one minute to prepare what you're going to say.
51
I'll give you a pen and paper so you can make some notes.
52
Okay, here's a pen and paper.
53
and so you can just make some notes do you understand okay
54
so the question is describe a time when you had to make a difficult decision go ahead i'll start the timer
55
Thank you.
56
Okay, that was a minute for preparation.
57
You can now begin speaking.
58
All right.
59
I'd like to talk about a really tough decision I had to make a few years ago.
60
It happened when I was offered a job in Vancouver.
61
At the time, I had a stable job in London, my hometown.
62
I really liked my colleagues and my family was nearby, which was a huge plus.
63
But what about new job?
64
It was an amazing opportunity, better pay, career growth, and the chance to work on projects I was actually passionate about.
65
So, yeah, it was really tempting for me.
66
I basically had two options.
67
stay where I was in my comfort zone or take a risk and move somewhere completely new where I didn't know anymore.
68
And honestly, it was a real dilemma for me.
69
The offer sounded great, but I was scared of leaving everything behind.
70
After a lot of thinking and talking friends and family, I decided to go for it.
71
It wasn't easy at first.
72
I had to leave my family and friends behind.
73
find a new place to live and adjust a new environment.
74
At that time I felt lonely and overwhelmed, but honestly looking back I know I made the right choice.
75
If anything, this experience taught me that stepping out of your comfort zone really pushes you to go.
76
So it was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made.
77
But I have zero regrets.
78
Okay, that concludes that part of the test.
79
I'll take back that paper from you.
80
Now we move on to part three.
81
You did a good job.
82
We've been talking about a time when you had to make a difficult decision.
83
And I'd now like to ask you some questions more on to that.
84
So first question I'd like to ask you is, why is it sometimes hard for people to make decisions?
85
That's a great question.
86
Honestly, I think it's because people are afraid of making the wrong choice.
87
Like if it's something small, no big deal.
88
But when it comes to major life decisions, like selecting a job, moving to another country or getting married,
89
there's so much pressure.
90
and let's be real nowadays we have too many options it's
91
like the more choices we have the harder it gets to
92
actually pick one okay do you think people today have more
93
decisions to make than people in the past oh 100 life
94
used to be much simpler right people had fewer career paths fewer university options
95
and even fewer brands of cereal to choose from.
96
But now we have this overload of choices in literally everything.
97
Like even picking a phone takes hours because there are a million different models.
98
Plus with technology we constantly making decisions what to read, what to believe or how to manage your time.
99
So it's exhausting.
100
Okay.
101
How important is advice from others when making a big decision?
102
Well, I think it's super important, but only if you ask the right people, like getting advice from someone who's been through a similar experience.
103
That's really helpful.
104
But if you ask too many people, it just gets confusing because everyone has a different opinion.
105
So advice is great, but at the end of the day, you know, you have to trust yourself too.
106
Okay.
107
Do you think young people and older people make decisions differently?
108
That's actually a pretty good question.
109
Young people tend to be more impulsive, you know.
110
they're more likely to take risks like quitting a job on the spot or moving abroad without thinking too much.
111
Elder people on the other hand usually weigh their options more carefully
112
because they have more life experience
113
but I guess it also depends on their personality You know some elder people are super adventurous
114
and some young people are really cautious Okay,
115
how can people become better at decision-making?
116
Mmm, I would say just making more decisions helps.
117
Like the more you practice, the better you get at it.
118
Also, knowing your priorities is a big one.
119
If you know what really matters to you, it's easier to decide.
120
And another thing, don't make decisions when you are super emotional.
121
I mean, we've all made choices we regret just because we were stressed or upset.
122
So also taking a step back and thinking things through always helps.
123
Okay, thank you very much.
124
This is the end of the speaking test.
125

136
This is exactly what I need.
137
Although my job is hard, I enjoy doing this.
138
I can't really share with the questions.
139
The last time I'm going to talk about the exam day, we should make sure...
140
Okay, this is the last time I'm going to talk about...
141
How to get enough for our generation.
142
Let's find out that the movie is talking about what they need for and film.
143
So, you know, we were talking about the cinema for film.
144
I have to say congratulations.
145
You did an awesome job.
146
I didn't expect you to do as good as you did.
147
You did a very good job.
148
You were natural, fluent, coherent, and relevant.
149
In terms of fluency and coherence, you were absolutely coherent by giving explanation, examples to support your ideas.
150
you were to the point you use so many amazing linking words and fillers you had some hesitations
151
but those weren't content related
152
and not language related in terms of vocabulary you did also a great job by using collocations
153
and idioms such as catch up with friends convenient mostly a
154
necessity a refreshing experience a solo travel stepping out of comfort zone those were great so many other vocabulary.
155
Great job.
156
Great job.
157
Your grammar was flawless.
158
Not even one single mistake.
159
You use simple and complex structures naturally without any difficulty.
160
In terms of pronunciation, you had some minor mispronunciation, but your main issue is the intonation.
161
Your speech was very flat.
162
And this is why I gave you an eight in just this criteria.
163
But overall, you got three nines one eight
164
which makes you an overall of a band nine i want to say congratulations great job

- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: refresh /ɹɪˈfɹɛʃ/, collocation /ˌkɑ.ləˈkeɪ.ʃən/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, mispronunciation /mɪspɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: bind /ˈbaɪ̯nd/, conclude /kənˈkluːd/, impulsive /ɪmˈpʌlsɪv/, overload /ˌəʊvəˈləʊd/, recharge /ɹiːˈtʃɑː(ɹ)dʒ/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, adventurous /ædˈvɛn.t͡ʃɚ.əs/, fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, passionate /ˈpæʃənɪt/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, exhaust /ɪɡˈzɔst/, colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als necessity, coherent, refresh.
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.
