This week, we are looking at an IELTS Speaking Part 2 cue card that asks you to speak about disappointing news.
4
I'll read the cue card to you now.
5
Describe a time when you received some disappointing news.
6
You should say what the news was,
7
when and how you received it,
8
who gave you the news,
9
and explain how you felt about it.
10
Alright, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally.
11
Here it is.
12
We will now start part two of the exam.
13
Here is your cue card.
14
Start speaking now, please.
15
One time I received really disappointing news was when I found out I didn't get accepted into a scholarship program.
16
This happened about two years ago when I was finishing my final year of university.
17
I received the news through email.
18
I remember opening my inbox early one morning and seeing the message from the scholarship committee.
19
As soon as I read the first few lines,
20
I realized it was a rejection.
21
They thanked me for my application and said the selection process had been very competitive,
22
but, unfortunately, I hadn't been chosen.
23
The email was polite and professional,
24
but I still felt crushed.
25
I had invested so much time preparing my application.
26
I had to write personal statements,
27
gather recommendation letters, and even attend interviews.
28
More than that, the scholarship involved studying abroad,
29
which had been a lifelong dream of mine.
30
At first, I felt disappointed and frustrated,
31
and I questioned whether I had done something wrong.
32
But after a few days,
33
I began to accept it and started looking for alternative paths.
34
In the end, I applied to local programs
35
and was later accepted into one that turned out to be a great fit for me.
36
Looking back, that rejection taught me a lot about resilience and,
37
in a way, showed me that setbacks are part of the growth process.
38
Thank you.
39
Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
40
In this week's free sample exercise,
41
you will repeat the response to the first few sentences from the model.
42
I'll read this section again to you now,
43
just to refresh your memory.

Woordenschat en spreektips bij deze les

Deze spreekles op niveau C1 is gebaseerd op de video “IELTSCast Lesson 216”. Deze woorden komen het vaakst terug: scholarship, program, accepted, received, disappointing. Deze video bevat 74 zinnen en 721 woorden om na te spreken. Het gesproken deel duurt 6:53. De spreker praat langzaam, ongeveer 105 woorden per minuut, zodat je tijd hebt om elke klank na te doen. Slechts 80% van de woorden hoort bij de 3.000 meest gebruikte Engelse woorden, dus de woordenschat is pittig.

Belangrijke woorden in deze video

De 15 moeilijkste woorden uit de video, met uitspraak en betekenis:

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 11 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals didn't, I'll, hadn't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

  • De klanken “sh” en “zh”: scholarship /ˈskɑːləɹʃɪp/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, rejection /ɹɪˈd͡ʒɛkʃən/, crush /kɹʌʃ/
  • Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, resilience /ɹɪˈzɪl.ɪ.əns/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

  • Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, abroad /əˈbɹɔːd/
  • /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, gather /ˈɡæðɚ/, scan /skæn/
  • /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, gather /ˈɡæðɚ/

Zo oefen je met deze video

  1. Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
  2. Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
  3. Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als scholarship, disappoint, shadow.

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.
