Let's start off by talking about what do you like about your job?

I like the fact that I don't have to wake up early like everybody else, which I know a lot of people don't like that.

And I just enjoy the flexibility of working from home,

choosing my own hours, talking about the things that I like to talk about, the things that interest me.

That's pretty much it.

Is there anything you don't like about your job?

Yeah, I mean sometimes it can be unstable not knowing whether

or not this month you're going to be able to make the amount of money that you know you're going to spend.

Yes, the volatility of it basically.

You know, social media is not something that has been there for many years, so we don't know how the future is going to look like.

Do you think you will be doing this job in five to ten years?

I hope so, but now with AI, I'm not so sure.

It's come for all of us.

What has come for all of us?

AI has come to replace a lot of jobs and weirdly enough it started with creative work.

We assumed like it's going to get rid of you know tedious tasks like repetitive things

but no it's come for like writing, photography, generating video.

It's all the things that we kind of enjoy doing. So that's scary.

Now let's talk about your free time.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Honestly, I've structured my life for it to revolve around my passion, which is YouTube.

So I don't necessarily have free time.

And when I have free time, I do something, but I justify doing it by connecting it to YouTube.

So for example, if I were to watch a TV show, I would try to say, okay, I'm doing this because this is going to teach me how to make better videos.

So you might call me a boring person, you know?

so but yeah other than that I really prioritize my health

so I like to kind of obsess over things

when it comes to diet or optimizing my supplementation

or even going to the gym

and exercising do you prefer to be alone during your free time

or with other people it depends but I I think I would like to spend more time with friends when I'm free.

I tend to get a lot of energy through conversation and laughter.

Whereas I would choose to stay alone when I'm working.

What do you do to keep fit?

Just jumping in to give you our free gift.

We analyzed hundreds of bands 7, 8 and 9 speaking performances and we analyze the vocabulary.

We've put all the best words, phrases, idioms into one pdf for you.

If you would like that, go to the description, click on the link, it's our gift to you, you can download it 100% for free.

I work out around four times a week.

I used to work out a lot more regularly but now with my schedule with shoots,

especially overnight ones and YouTube videos, it's become a bit more difficult but i mostly want

or try to go to the gym

because i want to stay healthy as opposed to building what people would say an attractive body

so i prioritize uh being healthy

and as as healthy as possible did you have different hobbies when you were a child Yeah, for sure.

I play the guitar, piano.

I used to make short films as a child.

And yeah, those are the main ones.

I forgot to say that I like learning languages on my free time now.

So now I'm learning Russian, for example.

Let's talk about travel.

Where was the last place you traveled to?

I traveled to Syria about two months ago and I spent a couple of weeks there to spend time with my family.

Where is your favorite place to go on holiday?

Oh, it's hard to answer.

It's like asking someone who your favorite children are.

My favorite place to go recently has been Paris, France.

I've just fallen in love with the city.

What was it about Paris that you enjoyed?

Just the atmosphere, the cozy atmosphere, the romantic vibes, the beautiful architecture,

and surprisingly the friendly people.

They always say French people are not as welcoming possibly to people who don't necessarily speak their language,

but they were very helpful, very nice.

Now let's talk about personal qualities.

What do you think is your best quality?

oh let me read off the list you know uh i'm

not sure you know i think i am i'm very self-aware so even

that remark about oh let me bring up the list it made me feel a little bit egotistical

so being self-aware is very important to me um always knowing

or keeping an eye of how people perceive you

and also knowing your faults you know knowing your weaknesses

and trying to work on them

or at least acknowledging them did you inherit any traits from your parents i would like to think

so i think i've inherited uh the work ethic my parents are both very high achievers who devoted their life

to help others and I would like to say that I've inherited that from them.

What personal qualities do you look for in a new friend?

Honesty is very important to me.

I think if someone is honest with themselves and others

you can pretty much tackle all other issues because

if you were to find an issue with a person and

if you were to confront them about it and

if they were honest about it they would they would be able to acknowledge it

and possibly work on it recently there was the nf i'm not sure

if it's nfl or it's what is it called what it is called exactly

but it's american football

and there was the half half time event apparently it's very important in the u.s and there was some controversy

controversy around the performer who's called Bad Bunny.

From what I assume, he's a Puerto Rican or a Latin singer who's apparently not even a citizen.

So my friend sent an Instagram reel and he was saying how, you know, people are on the right or on the left,

they're like being annoyed

that this opportunity came to this guy who might have some controversial opinions about the U.S and how it uses its resources.

And I personally thought it was a non-issue.

As someone who's not American, I don't necessarily relate.

So I might be a little bit biased.

But I also understood why people would be angry.

I mean, in the end, the song is in Spanish, from what I can understand.

Or Portuguese, I'm not sure.

I think Spanish.

And I saw a lot of videos of the event itself and everybody seemed to not be enthusiastic at all.

100

First of all, they didn't understand the words.

101

I think personally that his voice is not up to par with someone who should be in such an important event.

102

Not saying that every singer has to have an amazing voice, but yeah.

103

And also, I understand people who found it to be super motivational and nice,

104

because apparently the song itself or the performance had a lot of messages about being yourself and like staying strong,

105

keep going until you succeed.

106

So we've been talking about a news story.

107

We're going to continue to talk about the news and also about different media like TV and radio.

108

So let's talk about the news.

109

In your country, how do people access the news?

110

Mostly through social media, more particularly Facebook.

111

And are people more interested in the local news or do most people look at more international news?

112

I would say they're more interested in local news.

113

I would say being interested in the news outside of Syria

114

is more of a luxury to the people who are more educated have, usually.

115

It's not something that you would find commonly.

116

Do you think that it is important for people to have access to international news?

117

Yes, I do, simply because I think outside events affect you,

118

whether directly or indirectly, and you have the right to have access to it, whether you choose to engage in it or not.

119

Do you think that it's possible to consume too much news?

120

Definitely, yes.

121

And I tend to see that.

122

You know, I am a strong believer of Stoicism and Stoic ethics, and they often talk about how,

123

you know, you shouldn't be as taken back and forth by outside events.

124

So you should, you know, you should not to go on a tangent, but you should focus on what you can control because a lot of the news you can't really control.

125

So you shouldn't necessarily expose yourself to.

126

Now, let's talk about radio.

127

Why are talk radio programs where members of the public can discuss things together?

128

Why are they so popular?

129

Interesting question.

130

You know, I think it's because public discourse has always been such a popular thing,

131

whether it's in Roman times where people used to gather in the public square and talk about things.

132

And I think radio is just a more technologically advanced version of that.

133

Freedom of speech is important.

134

And, you know, it's always good to be exposed to different ideas.

135

What type of person do you think is most interested in getting on a radio talk show and talking about current events?

136

Getting on it?

137

I think it's mostly someone who has something to sell.

138

In the end, radio is a form of advertisement.

139

and the person who would benefit the most is someone who might want to influence people

140

into either having a mentality that would benefit them financially.

141

Yeah, that's what I would assume.

142

Not everyone, but yes.

143

And do you think that radio talk shows influence people in a good or a bad way?

144

Yes, they influence people in both good and bad ways.

145

There are a lot of talk shows or radio shows like,

146

for example, Howard Stern, where he tends to abuse or make the most out of someone regardless of their emotional state.

147

regardless of how much he makes them over share.

148

It's kind of preying on somebody's issues.

149

I personally have a problem with that style.

150

But if you were to critique it financially or in terms of entertainment value, that would be a different conversation.

151

So what I'm going to do is give you some advice on part one, part two, and part three.

152

Okay.

153

More strategic advice and then I'm going to give you your scores for grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation.

154

If you would like your speaking assessed one-on-one we do offer that as part of our VIP package.

155

To thank you for watching the video I'll offer you 10% off.

156

All you have to do is just go to the description, click the link and you can get 10% off today.

157

Part one you did very well, very good development of your answers.

158

So you answered every question and then you developed it, you were giving examples, extra details, you're telling little personal stories, all very very good.

159

It felt like having a coffee or a drink with a friend, which is exactly what you should be doing in part one.

160

One issue that I noticed that you had, you, so fluency is about not speaking quickly,

161

it is about the flow of what you're saying and you often will,

162

I think you're capable of getting a band but there's just a few too many of those in there.

163

There are two reasons why people do that.

164

So when someone is speaking a different language, often they will, mmm, they'll be trying to think of the correct grammar or the correct vocabulary.

165

That is very common at lower levels because people are trying to grasp the right word.

166

They're just trying to access all the different files and they go, what is the word I'm thinking about?

167

You do not have that problem.

168

That is an excellent thing because if you did have that problem, we would have a lot of work.

169

You have the problem of it's even common when people are speaking their own language.

170

So do you know someone who speaks in Syria and when they speak everything's, Um, uh, there's no problem with their, is it Arabic?

171

Yes.

172

There's no problem with their Arabic.

173

Yeah.

174

The problem is, is that they are thinking very deeply about, now, Elon Musk speaks like this.

175

Yes.

176

If you listen to Elon Musk, he, uh, that is because that guy just has so much information in his head that he's sorting through it all.

177

You are making your life a little bit more difficult than

178

it needs to be by you are listing lots of different things

179

and you're accessing all these different files in your head where

180

you could make part one even better by just picking the easiest thing to talk about and

181

Developing

182

that in a very simple easy way for you similar with

183

part two your development was good You could have talked about that for a long time

184

You could have talked about

185

that for far more than two minutes one thing I noticed you did

186

which does affect I find affects people's fluency is you were looking down

187

and reading So remember when you were a kid in school when the teacher asks you to read from the book?

188

Yes.

189

And you're like, did the kids sound fluent?

190

No. Compared to a conversation?

191

Of course, yeah.

192

So you were like looking down, reading the bullet point, and then you were talking about it and then reading it.

193

So you were more focused on getting through the points and answering the question than you were about having a conversation.

194

So imagine you and I went out for coffee and I was saying like, did you see that Bad Bunny concert?

195

Would you look down?

196

No. and make some points and then you would have no problem talking about it

197

so use the points to help you if you get stuck

198

but try and lift your head look at the person

199

and have a normal conversation about that topic would you say

200

that looking at someone would actually affect for some people okay

201

yeah for some people who are uncomfortable with eye contact some people are very uncomfortable staring at somebody

202

and having a normal conversation with them for those people looking

203

down actually can help them for you i know you're a very confident person who likes to speak

204

and you speak for a living use

205

that skill instead of looking down thinking about now the the most important thing is

206

that you talk about that topic yeah so how you get around

207

that is you start off i want to talk about this

208

new story i want to talk about the bad bunny thing

209

and then you go on and on and talk about

210

that yeah normally i think you'll be far more fluent

211

if you do that and then

212

if you get stuck you're like i've run into things to say then look down have a glance

213

and then put your head up again

214

and talk about it part three you gave quite short answers

215

so you probably think i answered the question what the examiner

216

might think is they don't have enough english to talk about

217

that topic they're trying to avoid that topic and if you keep giving the first few answers

218

were quite short and not developed maybe it was you were uncomfortable talking about

219

that or maybe you didn't want i think it's more uh something

220

that i've developed with time where i'm talking to real like

221

in real scenarios where sometimes i tend to take over the conversation or over share

222

and i've practiced to not you know answer bigger than the question basically right

223

so i would i assume that's the same here but i guess

224

that worked kind of against so

225

that would be in a social situation yes this is this is a speaking test yeah

226

so you want to speak all right switch off yes yeah

227

dominate the the conversation i won't let you ask questions one thing that

228

I really liked was you took your answer

229

and you directed it towards your area of expertise or things that you find very comfortable talking about, for example, stoicism.

230

As soon as you started talking about stoicism, your fluency went through the roof.

231

You just find it so easy to talk about that.

232

A lot of, for example, we work with a lot of medical professionals and we'll ask them to talk, for example, talk about a news story.

233

They'll talk about a medical news

234

because they can throw in all the medical lingo now you can't do

235

that for every single question but

236

if you can steer it toward like you talked about in roman times

237

and then you were very fluent i don't know

238

if you're a history buff or uh you could steer it towards youtube for example

239

but just make sure that you don't fluency is both for for speaking it's are you fluent

240

and did you answer the question and develop your answer enough.

241

If you try and steer it towards stoicism every time you might not answer the question.

242

So be careful not to fix one problem and create another problem at the same time.

243

For part three, how you can develop your answers a little bit more is always do what you did, which is directly answer the question.

244

Then you can you can do a few different things.

245

The easiest one is just explain why you think that and then give an example.

246

So you did give some good examples like you're talking about

247

Howard Stern show for example other times you might not be able to think of examples

248

but you can use your own personal life

249

so I ask about radio shows like what radio shows do you listen to

250

or do you not sometimes you can't think of any that's

251

where you would go to a hard stern show like an

252

example you don't have to every time give an explanation an example don't work don't think

253

that you have to do that just giving you little tools

254

that you could use another way

255

that you could think about part three is normally you can divide this into two two things

256

so do you think it's important for people to get um

257

international news some people think yes other people think no

258

so you could say well some people think this here's why they think this other people yeah they don't think

259

that you should be concerned about that at all

260

or maybe you can consume too much news

261

and here's what they think would you say it's better to

262

have a sorry to interrupt less of uh there you go again with your interruptions.

263

Would you say it's better to have less of an extreme take on these or no?

264

Well, if you're talking about what other people, then you're not being extreme.

265

So you could say there are extremists out there that think that you should never hear any news.

266

And there are people on the other side that think that you should be able, they're free speech absolutists, that think that you should be able to hear everything.

267

I, on the other hand, think that that there should be a bit of a balance.

268

I think that people should have access to the news, but you shouldn't be allowed to say anything.

269

Feel free to explore.

270

You did one time say, that's an interesting question, you thought about it a little bit, and then you gave your answer.

271

You don't have to immediately give an answer.

272

Don't do what Elon Musk does, and he often you'll ask him a question and he'll be like, wait 45 seconds to answer it.

273

I've been very critical of Elon in this.

274

No, yeah.

275

He needs to learn from us.

276

It's good for the algorithm to mention all the comments.

277

Why are you talking about him?

278

If you follow that advice, I think that you can really improve.

279

Let's talk about the four marking criteria.

280

Grammar, vocabulary, fluency and coherence and pronunciation.

281

If we start off with pronunciation, I think this is probably your strongest area.

282

The examiner will be thinking about two things.

283

Number one, clarity.

284

Can they understand you?

285

this is probably your greatest strength.

286

Oh, nice to hear.

287

Every single word I can understand.

288

That's awesome.

289

There's never once where I'm like, what was that?

290

The other great thing I love about your pronunciation is you don't sound British or an American or something like that, which is often the case.

291

You, it's very clear where you're from, but I understand every single word.

292

Okay, nice.

293

I always think that's the best pronunciation.

294

Nice.

295

Because you didn't grow up speaking English, but you are extremely clear speaking English.

296

So that's excellent.

297

The other thing the examiner will be thinking about is higher level pronunciation features.

298

So it's not just can I understand him, it's things like intonation.

299

So does your voice go up and down to convey meaning?

300

And sentence stress and word stress, are you stressing certain words to convey meaning?

301

You also do that very, very well nice and so there's never a time

302

when i'm i'm thinking like oh that this this person has just started learning english

303

or maybe they learned from a textbook and they're not used to actually

304

speaking english regularly it's obvious that you do speak english regularly

305

and you speak at a very very high level

306

so i don't know your background in learning english

307

but your pronunciation is very very good nice i'm happy

308

because i was a bit self-conscious about that like i was worried people

309

don't necessarily understand what I'm saying in my YouTube videos without captions.

310

Yeah, no, that is not.

311

Nice.

312

Not a worry.

313

Nice, nice.

314

Not a worry at all.

315

The other big strength that you have is vocabulary.

316

Amazing vocabulary.

317

You don't just have one word for something.

318

You have multiple high-level phrases and words for different things.

319

So, for example, you're saying, I might be egotistical or I'm self-aware.

320

I know my faults.

321

So you're describing the same thing in multiple different high-level ways, but not in a show-offy way.

322

Not like I'm going to say words like egotistical and self-aware.

323

You're not just throwing those in.

324

You're using them naturally and very precisely.

325

So that's what, if an examiner is thinking, should I award them a band nine?

326

They're thinking of, can this person in multiple different contexts use high-level vocabulary appropriately and accurately and precisely?

327

And you're doing that over and over again.

328

I noticed things like it was a non-issue, he's a little biased, things like that.

329

You say he's preying upon someone.

330

You know, all of these things, very, very high level words.

331

But that doesn't mean that you need to use these in every sentence.

332

You only need to use them to convey meaning when you have to.

333

And you do that very, very well.

334

The two areas that I think that you can work on, one, you don't need to work on it that much

335

and the other is the thing that you need to work on the most.

336

Grammar, you do have little slips every now and again, but these are minor and infrequent.

337

So there's a difference between major grammar problems and minor grammar problems.

338

A major grammar problem would be something that affects my ability to understand what you're actually saying.

339

That never happened, the whole test.

340

You are making little slips, little minor ones, but when we talk about frequency, these hardly ever happen.

341

And if you listen to a native English speaker speaking for 30 minutes, they will make one or two little grammatical errors.

342

They're called slips.

343

I'm not worried about your grammar based on what I heard.

344

I would have to listen to you a little bit more to figure out is there some common areas

345

that we need to work on.

346

We worked on your writing before.

347

Your grammar when speaking is much better yeah then you're done

348

but because punctuation is your biggest issue

349

and there's no punctuation in speaking I would assume like a

350

lot of people have the same thing yeah yeah most people struggle with writing a lot more than speaking because

351

if you think about the number of hours you've spoken English

352

versus the number of hours you write essays yeah yeah

353

so imagine you played basketball for 10 000 hours

354

and then you played cricket for one hour yeah

355

which one would you yeah you know

356

so the biggest area of weakness is your fluency

357

and the good news is you can fix that very quickly

358

because it's not a language issue it's a thinking of too

359

many things there's too many things going on in your head

360

you know the cameras are rolling uh it's a test situation yeah

361

So you're a little bit too consumed with the content rather than just speaking clearly and at a natural pace.

362

So I speak quite slowly because I want people to understand me, but I don't have poor fluency because the words are flowing.

363

If I was speaking slowly, the words are not flowing, that would be a problem.

364

But if you have one pause, one audible pause, Don't panic and think, oh, I failed my...

365

Everybody does it.

366

I do it when I'm speaking to you.

367

So before the cameras were rolling, if you had recorded us speaking...

368

I barely hear you do it, but yeah.

369

Yeah, but it's just a natural way of speaking.

370

But the problem is the word is unnatural.

371

So natural pausing, everybody does it in their native language.

372

Unnatural pausing is caused by trying to find the right language or trying to find the right idea.

373

I think this experience will have really improved you.

374

I think next time you'll get about nine.

375

Nice.

376

This time.

377

Is that a promise?

378

8.5.

379

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

380

This time 8.5 because of your fluency.

381

All right.

382

All right.

383

So everything else is at a very high level.

384

You wouldn't get the highest one just because of two things.

385

One, you were pausing, audible pausing a little bit too much

386

and then in part three very short answers sometimes so

387

if you develop part three a little bit more

388

and then relax about the content next time you will do

389

very very well nice nice to know thank you very much you're welcome thank you so much

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 108 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals don't, you're, I'm. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

De “th”-klanken: ethic /ˈɛθ.ɪk/, enthusiastic /ɪnˌθjuːzɪˈæstɪk/, algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/
De klanken “sh” en “zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, punctuation /ˌpʌŋk.t͡ʃuˈeɪ.ʃən/, interruption /ˌɪntəˈɹʌpʃən/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, caption /ˈkæp.ʃən/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, egotistical /ˌi.ɡoʊˈtɪs.tɪk.(ə)l/, prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: pause /pɔːz/, prioritize /pɹaɪˈɒɹ.ə.taɪz/, analyze /ˈæn.əˌlaɪz/, optimize /ˈɑptɪmaɪz/, revolve /ɹɪˈvɑlv/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, analyze /ˈæn.əˌlaɪz/, absolutist /ˈæb.səˌlu.tɪst/, grammatical /ɡɹəˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, egotistical /ˌi.ɡoʊˈtɪs.tɪk.(ə)l/, grammatical /ɡɹəˈmæt.ɪ.kəl/, glance /ɡlæns/, grasp /ɡɹæsp/

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.
