Let's start off by talking about high school.

Who was your favorite teacher in high school?

I think my favorite teacher in high school was Miss Malika.

She was my second grade teacher.

And I think she eventually, like at the latest teachers, she became my eighth grade teacher as well.

So I was very familiar with her and she remembered me.

So we had good memories together.

What was your favorite subject in high school?

My favorite subject would be,

I think, English because I liked reading stories and novels and it just kept me engaged,

wherein like with the other subjects you had to, it was more technical, but I enjoyed the reading bit and I still do enjoy reading,

so I'd say English.

Do you ever miss being in high school?

I do actually, because I started working very early.

I did not get to experience the university or college.

So the memories that I have or the friends I have is from high school.

And I do think about times where we could just go back and have a reunion and like have that moment again.

Now let's talk about transportation.

Do you take public transportation or private transportation?

I do not like public transportation.

I moved to Dubai a few years ago

and I got my driving license just because I hated going in metros or buses.

So I got my driving license and I enjoy driving.

Is it easy to catch public transportation in your country?

In my country, yes, it's quite easy and convenient, I would say.

The streets are very busy.

The traffic is crazy.

So it's easy, easier for people to get to work with public transportation.

Is driving a private car popular in your country?

I would say in countryside, it's quite popular as there's not as much modes of transport as in the big cities.

So in the countryside, it's quite popular, wherein in the big cities, people prefer taking public transportation it's faster, it's convenient.

Now let's talk about the internet.

How often do you use the internet?

I think every day.

We are also addicted to internet, so yeah.

What are your favourite websites to visit?

I think it's Instagram.

I think Instagram is the one website I use every single day whenever I'm bored, just to see what my friends are up to.

And that's, yeah, Instagram.

Do you think that you ever use the internet too much?

I'd say when I'm having a bad day,

I would just stay home and like scroll on Instagram and just try to escape reality in a way.

But on the other days, like when I'm out, I do not use Instagram or any social media websites that much.

Now let's talk about your free time.

What do you normally like to do in your free time?

A lot of things, actually.

I think I'm someone who likes variety in everyday life.

So just going out, checking out a new place or trying different activity, seeing my friends.

Yeah, I try to keep busy on my days off.

Are you very active in your free time?

I like to think I'm active yes

if I have nothing to do I just go to the gym

or to the pool read a book

but I try to do something on my free time something

yeah what do you normally like to do on the weekend

like I mentioned earlier I like to see my friends try a different restaurant cafe or an activity.

Just last weekend I went to try this ice bath.

You just jump into a bucket of ice.

So just yeah, try different things.

Describe a day when you thought the weather was perfect.

Where were you?

I was in Dubai a couple of months ago, just when the summer was about to end.

there was this day when I was just standing in my balcony.

It was a bit cloudy that day

and then like a few minutes later I saw the lightning

and the thunderstorm and it just got darker

and then I was standing in my balcony and I saw the lightning and I have the whole view of

Dubai skyline so I could see the Burj Khalifa the Dubai frame

and I saw the lightning on top of like right on top of Burj Khalifa

which was beautiful I recorded it and I posted it on Instagram

and then I saw a lot of people were posting the same stories

but from different places a friend of mine came over we had a glass of wine on the balcony

and then it started to rain

like heavily rain heavily so thunderstorm rain

and it's just not very common to see

that in Dubai that's why I thought the weather was perfect

because it's always hot and sunny and humid

and as soon as like the season starts to change I

think they do something called cloud seeding where um then they make it rain apparently um

so it was very beautiful to see the rain we had

a nice day nice evening in the balcony having a glass

of wine uh looking at the beautiful weather the traffic was

very crazy by the way the roads were flooded um

and i think like a lot of we ordered some food by the way um

and it took us two hours to get the food the deliveries

That's the end of the two minutes and that's the end of part two.

I'm going to move on to part three now.

So we've been talking about a perfect day and we're going to continue to talk about the weather.

What type of weather do people in your country dislike the most?

To thank you for watching this video, I want to give you a free course that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score.

What it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test

and give you strategies for part one part two and part three

and also allow you to practice at home for free

and get feedback to sign up for

that for free all you have to do is just click the link in the description thanks very much

and let's get back to the video um i think um my country india it's quite um hot

and humid especially some parts of India so I suppose people hate the summer

because it can get really intense but where I grew up it's not very hot

so some parts like especially the north it's not very hot

100

actually like throughout the year the temperature I'd say would go up to 22 degrees

101

but wherein like down from Delhi onwards it gets really hot

102

and humid and it's just because a lot of people use public transportation

103

and it's not easy to use public transportation or walk around because when it's just so hot.

104

So I suppose they would hate the hot climate more than the cold.

105

What jobs can be affected by different weather conditions?

106

A lot of jobs related to transport I feel would be affected.

107

Driving, I'd say, taxis or buses, even the flights, pilots or cabin crew,

108

when the weather is not right, the flights might be delayed.

109

And then if it's raining, the taxis would not be able to drive because of the water or the floods.

110

So I think a lot of transport related jobs, and even food for

111

that matter like the deliveries um all the delivery of companies

112

they would have an impact of in a way now let's

113

talk about weather forecasts what's the best way to get accurate

114

information about the weather well i personally use google maps sorry

115

google weather reports um i'm not very sure about this one because it depends from person to person.

116

For me, I think Google weather reports are quite accurate, but I do not have a clear answer for that.

117

Is it easy to predict the weather in your country?

118

I suppose it is, yeah, because like I said earlier,

119

some parts of India, the weather like cannot the temperature doesn't go over a certain degrees

120

but wherein some parts are really hot and humid throughout the years

121

so I think it's quite easy to predict but

122

when it comes to rain

123

or monsoon season it's a bit hard like last year this

124

year sorry a few months ago in the north of India it was raining heavily

125

and the rain did not stop for I'd say two weeks So that was not predictable.

126

That's the end of the speaking test.

127

Well done.

128

Thank you.

129

I'd like to give you some feedback on your performance, because I think that you're capable of getting one of the very highest bands.

130

131

132

and then give you feedback on fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, talk about the technical parts and what band scores you would expect.

143

Part one was great.

144

You developed your answers enough.

145

It was like talking to a friend or talking to a colleague.

146

You could tell that you were a little bit nervous, but those nerves didn't really, in part one anyway, didn't really prevent you from doing well.

147

And you were answering the questions naturally.

148

your nervousness didn't cause any problems with fluency.

149

On test day, you might be even more nervous.

150

So a lot of my advice to you will be about kind of preventing nerves taking over.

151

The way I always describe it is our brain is kind of like a computer and stress is like putting too much, opening too many programs on your computer.

152

Like you might have a great MacBook Pro, but if you put it under stress, everything kind of slows down.

153

And that's just, I think the same with you.

154

You've got a MacBook Pro up there for speaking English, but you're putting a little bit too much pressure on yourself.

155

So the enemy is really yourself, if that makes sense.

156

And you're more than capable of doing well.

157

And what I would always say is, I know it's difficult because you're speaking to an examiner you've never met before,

158

but imagine a friend, imagine someone you're close with and they're They're just asking you these questions.

159

Imagine you're in a coffee shop in your local area, having a coffee.

160

Maybe if they ask you some of these questions, you'd be like, what?

161

Why are you asking me that?

162

But just that sort of frame of mind, that attitude, that often does help students.

163

The other thing to know is, I would not lie to you.

164

I'm telling you that you are very, very good.

165

You are more than capable.

166

So you should have confidence in yourself.

167

Part two was good also.

168

There was a little bit of repetition halfway through.

169

You were like, yeah, my friend came around and had a glass of wine.

170

That would be a problem if you constantly did that.

171

So if you said something like, there was lightning, my friend came around, we had a glass of wine, we put it on Instagram.

172

Yeah, there was lightning that day and my friend came around.

173

You didn't do that.

174

You just repeated one little bit.

175

The reason you did that, I think, I might be wrong, is you were trying to think of more things and you wanted to keep talking while, was that correct?

176

Yeah, that's correct okay so the examiner will recognize that

177

and probably won't mark you down for that they would only mark you down

178

if you you did that a lot

179

because there's four bullet points what a lot of students do

180

is they will talk about the bullet points the four

181

or maybe some other things for a minute

182

and then they'll just go back and they'll rehash them they'll just repeat them you didn't do that but again

183

on test day

184

if you get nervous it's kind of like a defensive thing

185

to do is like look at the bullet points again oh i'm just going to talk about those things

186

so a good tip is to um add maybe three

187

or four more bullet points common things like how you felt past present future examples stories

188

things related to that topic and then when you start to think oh i'm running out of things to say

189

Just look down, talk about that and then talk about that.

190

So just give yourself enough ammunition to use.

191

Part three, you did very well.

192

In part three, the examiner will ask you more difficult questions.

193

The worst thing you can do is when you get a difficult question, a lot of people just laugh and go, no, I don't know, you didn't do that.

194

Even though you did get one question that you didn't know a huge amount about, But you did very well because you attempted an answer.

195

If you attempt an answer, what you're saying to the examiner is, I don't know about this topic specifically, but there's nothing wrong with my English.

196

Remember it's an English test.

197

It's not a knowledge test.

198

It's not an IQ test.

199

Now, band nine is the top mark.

200

I think you could be capable of getting a band nine, but let's see whether you would actually get a band nine.

201

The first thing is pronunciation.

202

The examiner will be thinking about two things.

203

Clarity, can they understand all the words that you're saying?

204

And then higher level pronunciation features.

205

We'll talk about clarity first.

206

You're from India and there's nothing wrong with having an Indian accent, a Vietnamese accent, an Irish accent.

207

There's nothing wrong with any of those things.

208

But a lot of the Indian students that we work with are worried about their accent being too strong.

209

I don't think that there's a problem with having a strong accent and any accent.

210

But I think what they're saying is that their accent causes problems for the listener with certain words.

211

That is not an issue for you at all.

212

There's not a single word that I couldn't understand.

213

You still have your Indian accent and that's a great thing.

214

You should be very proud of it.

215

There aren't extra marks for sounding British or sounding American.

216

I'm sure that you know lots of Indian celebrities that have an Indian accent but speak English very, very clearly.

217

Priyanka Chopra, for example, she speaks with an Indian accent, but you can understand every word.

218

That's the same with you.

219

So you're doing very, very well there.

220

One thing about being nervous and being stressed is

221

that people can sometimes speak inside their mouth

222

and speak at the back of their throat because it's just a subconscious thing where we We don't want to be criticized.

223

We're afraid of saying something wrong.

224

So we're going to speak inside our own mouth.

225

I used to do it when I was a child.

226

My little nine year old boy does it all the time.

227

It's about confidence, you know.

228

You didn't do that, but I could see that if you were really under pressure and you were very,

229

like, let's say you had a visa deadline and you must get this and you know,

230

everyone's expecting you, you could go into the test and speak inside your mouth.

231

That could affect clarity and could drop your score a little bit.

232

It didn't happen this time.

233

My best advice would be,

234

imagine you're speaking to the examiner and they are sitting against that wall and pointing 10 feet away.

235

All right, so we're about six feet away, double that.

236

Okay.

237

Don't be afraid of, like I'm speaking quite loud to you at the minute.

238

Don't be afraid of...

239

Because you seem the type of person that maybe thinks speaking loudly at someone is rude and some,

240

I don't know, some different cultures.

241

Is that the case in India or...?

242

Yeah, it is, I think.

243

I'm Irish, so we don't care how loudly we...

244

If you go to an Irish pub, you'll hear the volume that most people speak.

245

Up the volume a little bit.

246

Again, pretend that they're 10 feet away instead of six feet away.

247

You also use higher level pronunciation features quite well.

248

Intonation.

249

So the intonation is when our voice goes up and our voice goes down.

250

If I come home late and my wife says, fine.

251

That's not, that doesn't mean fine.

252

So we use intonation to convey meaning.

253

So, fine, fine, the same word, two completely different meanings.

254

One I'm in trouble, one everything is actually fine.

255

When people are nervous, they tend to have quite flat intonation.

256

You didn't do that, but on test day, just be aware of that.

257

A good tip is to, before the test, record yourself speaking and listen to your intonation.

258

If I listen to you speak to your friends, your intonation would be more extreme, I think because, hey, how's it going?

259

You know, when people are in a test and they're nervous and they're formal, they tend to speak more like this and very, very formal.

260

It is not a formal test.

261

And you might get an examiner who is very friendly.

262

Sometimes you don't.

263

Sometimes they had, you know, everybody has a bad day and their intonation might be quite flat and formal and robotic.

264

And people often mirror other people, especially when there's a power dynamic, like someone seems more powerful because they're an examiner.

265

Some students go in and they have great intonation outside the test, and then they go into the test and their intonation,

266

their speech patterns are a little bit rigid and formal and robotic.

267

That wasn't the case, I don't think, with you.

268

A little bit maybe, but not a big deal.

269

Next is coherence and fluency.

270

Coherence is did you answer the question?

271

It's like, if I asked you to talk about when the weather was perfect, did you actually mention a day when the weather was perfect?

272

And you did all the questions, you actually answered them and you developed them enough

273

and even some of the questions in part three

274

that you had difficulty with and you developed them enough and

275

that that was absolutely fine i have no problems with

276

that at all your fluency the only time

277

when you had an issue with fluency was in the middle of part two

278

when you were you know reformulating things and you were repeating things to try and think of other things.

279

That is fine because you only did it once in part two.

280

It's not like they focus in, oh, you paused one time or you repeated something one time.

281

They will listen to the whole thing and base the score on the whole thing.

282

And you did an excellent job overall.

283

You did pause at some times in part three when you were trying to think, but that had nothing to do with your language ability.

284

Some people pause when they're trying to think of the correct, what's the correct adjective or what's the correct verb to use and what's the tense to use.

285

You didn't do that.

286

It was only really about ideas and again that's related to stress

287

and nervousness because people think that the examiner wants the best idea or the correct idea.

288

Remember it's a speaking test.

289

There are no extra marks for great ideas.

290

You could be the leading expert in the world on on weather and weather forecasting,

291

or you could know nothing about it, it doesn't matter.

292

All that matters is your pronunciation, your fluency, your grammar and your vocabulary.

293

So just do what you did.

294

And if you get an unusual topic or a topic you're not comfortable with, do what you did, which is attempt it, but explain like, I don't really know much about this.

295

And again, just don't put too much pressure on yourself thinking I need to give the world's greatest answer you don't.

296

For grammar, so there's two things the examiner will think about.

297

One is a range of your grammar.

298

Do you have enough grammar?

299

So if I ask you about the past, do you know how to use past simple, present perfect?

300

If I ask you about things to do in the future, do you have future structures?

301

Do you know how to use comparatives and all and superlatives and all of these different little grammar structures?

302

Everything that I threw at you, you were able to cope with that.

303

So I don't think there's any problem with your range of grammar at all.

304

The second thing that the examiner will think about is your accuracy.

305

Overall, your accuracy is very good.

306

There's no systematic errors.

307

What a systematic error is, every time you use that part of grammar, such as articles or prepositions, every time or nearly every time you use it, you make a mistake.

308

That means that that system, that part of the grammar, you don't know how to use that yet.

309

You don't have that, but you do have little slips every now and again.

310

And those are not a huge problem.

311

So for example, you have these errors.

312

Most of the time you use prepositions correctly, but sometimes you have little slips.

313

So most of the time you use articles, you use them correctly, but sometimes you make little slips, but they're quite rare and they don't stop me understanding what you're saying.

314

So if you said to me, my friend and I went to a cinema instead of my friend and I went to the cinema,

315

that doesn't stop me understanding that you and your friend went to a cinema.

316

So for grammar, you would get a very high score,

317

but on test day, if you're nervous and that MacBook Pro starts having too much pressure on it,

318

just like a computer, we make more mistakes when we're nervous and when we're stressed out.

319

So there's nothing wrong with your grammar.

320

Again, the biggest enemy is really yourself.

321

The more pressure you put on yourself, the more mistakes that you will make.

322

Vocabulary.

323

So there's two things that the examiner will think about.

324

Accuracy.

325

Are you using words accurately to describe things and nouns, verbs, adjectives, are those actually accurate, the words that you're using.

326

You've no problem with accuracy at all.

327

And then the second thing is range.

328

When I ask you about weather, do you have enough weather vocabulary to do that?

329

When I ask you about, we were talking about high school and education, do you have enough vocabulary?

330

You do, but I think that you play it safe a little bit.

331

So the weather was nice.

332

Are there other ways that you could describe the weather?

333

That is not inaccurate.

334

There's nothing wrong with that.

335

But in a speaking test, you are capable of showing off your vocabulary more.

336

Now for the vast majority of people, I would say the opposite.

337

Especially people from India tend to show off

338

and add in these crazy big long amazing words and they think that will boost their score.

339

You have the opposite problem, which I think that which is quite rare, you're capable of using more vocabulary but you play it quite safe.

340

And it all depends on what score you want.

341

If you want the absolute top score, you don't have to every sentence be throwing in a big complicated word, but you just have to, you know, every now and again,

342

throw in something a little bit more advanced and that would really, really help you.

343

Am I correct in that you are capable of doing that?

344

Yeah.

345

Or you are, yeah.

346

you what you want to do but that would be my advice

347

so for pronunciation if you were nervous

348

and you were speaking inside your mouth you would get pro

349

on test day you would probably get a band eight

350

but i think

351

that you are capable of a band nine i think today you were a band nine um

352

which is the top score fluency on test day

353

if you were repeating things a little bit and you're searching for ideas

354

and you're putting too much pressure on yourself you possibly could get a band eight, I think you're capable of getting a band nine.

355

Today, I think that you were a band nine, which is the top score.

356

What it says for grammar is that even a band nine student can make slips.

357

I think that today you probably would get a band nine.

358

On test day, if you're nervous and you make them a wee bit more regularly, you would get a band eight.

359

Vocabulary, I think today you were a band eight

360

because you all of your stuff is accurate and

361

but you're playing it too safe today you would get a very very high score

362

but in our next test i'll be expecting an even higher score

363

because i think you can do way better than

364

that you're you're currently showing what do you think about that any questions or anything no no

Uitspraak om op te letten

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

De “th”-klanken: thunderstorm /ˈθʌn.dɚˌstɔɹm/, eighth /eɪtθ/
De klanken “sh” en “zh”: intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/, rehash /ɹiːˈhæʃ/, repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, intonation /ɪntəˈneɪʃən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: bind /ˈbaɪ̯nd/, humid /ˈhjuːmɪd/, pause /pɔːz/, adjective /ˈæd͡ʒ.ɪk.tɪv/, verb /vɝb/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, accent /ækˈsɛnt/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, balcony /ˈbælkəni/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: examiner /əɡˈzæmɪnɚ/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, 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.
Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als grammar, accent, intonation.

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.
