Hi, this is IELTS, IELTS .com, Lesson 185.
2
This week we are looking at a part 2 cue card
3
that asks you to speak about a place you visited where everything was expensive.
4
I'll read the cue card to you now.
5
Talk about a place you visited where everything was expensive.
6
You should say: what the place was when you went there, why you think everything there was expensive,
7
and explain whether or not you would visit this place again.
8
Alright, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally.
9
Here it is.
10
We will now start part two of the exam.
11
Start speaking now, please.
12
A place I visited that I found to be exceptionally expensive is Dubai, UAE.
13
I visited the city about two years ago during my winter holidays.
14
I stayed in a luxurious area near the iconic Burj Khalifa and I was immediately struck by the opulence everywhere.
15
The hotels, restaurants, and even everyday activities seem tailored to a high -end clientele.
16
For instance, I recall dining at a restaurant with a view of the Dubai fountain, and while the meal was amazing, the bill left me speechless.
17
There are a few reasons why everything there is so expensive.
18
For one, Dubai is a global hub for luxury tourism, catering to wealthy visitors from around the world.
19
The city invests heavily in creating world -class entertainment, and the costs are naturally passed on to consumers.
20
Also, many of the goods and services are imported, And this, of course, adds to their price.
21
Despite the high costs, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there
22
because the city offers a unique blend of cultural experiences and stunning architecture.
23
I would happily visit again.
24
Thank you.
25
Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
26
In this week's free sample exercise, you will repeat the first few sentences from the response.
27
I'll read the section of the response again to you now just to refresh your memory.

32
Okay, let's go ahead and start this week's speech shadowing exercise.
33
If this is your first time doing a speech shadowing exercise, remember you should be speaking aloud as you listen.
34
So, you will first hear a portion of the sample, and then you will be given a pause within which to repeat what you have heard.
35
And the point of the exercise is to try to adjust your pronunciation to sound as much like the model as possible.
36
Okay, here is this week's speech shadowing exercise.

Woordenschat en spreektips bij deze les
Deze spreekles op niveau B2 is gebaseerd op de video “Lesson 185: An expensive place you visited💸”. Deze woorden komen het vaakst terug: visited, expensive, opulence, luxurious, struck. Deze video bevat 72 zinnen en 816 woorden om na te spreken. Het gesproken deel duurt 8:07. De spreker praat langzaam, ongeveer 101 woorden per minuut, zodat je tijd hebt om elke klank na te doen. Slechts 74% van de woorden hoort bij de 3.000 meest gebruikte Engelse woorden, dus de woordenschat is pittig.

- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: luxurious /lʌɡˈʒʊəɹi.əs/, exceptionally /ɪkˈsɛp(t)ʃənəli/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/
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 opulence, luxurious, exceptionally.
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.
