Thank you very much.
16
Okay, we're going to start part one.
17
And in part one, I ask you some personal questions.
18
So first, let's talk about your daily routine.
19
What do you usually do in the morning?
20
Well, I usually wake up at 7 a.m.
21
And I take a shower and I get ready for work.
22
I put my clothes work on and then I go to work.
23
Okay.
24
Do you prefer to plan your day or go with the flow?
25
I definitely like to plan my daily work.
26
And then when something comes up, then we'll deal with it after.
27
Is your daily routine different on the weekends?
28
It is definitely different on weekends because I take weekends off.
29
So I will work on my hobbies.
30
I spend time with my family and then most likely I do whatever I like to do.
31
Okay, now let's move on to talk more about social media.
32
How often do you use social media?
33
Well, I just recently noticed I spent a lot of time on social media, especially on Instagram.
34
and yeah I probably spent like three hours out of 24 hours on Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook.
35
Do you think social media is a waste of time?
36
Well it works both ways.
37
It could be a waste of time sometimes.
38
It depends but it could be either way.
39
What are the advantages of using social media?
40
Well, advantages are you get the news right away and then you learn new stuff,
41
you keep yourself updated and you get in touch with your friends and then those are advantages.
42
Okay, now let's move on to talk about reading, reading books.
43
Do you enjoy reading books?
44
Well, to be honest, I don't read a lot of books.
45
But here and there, sometimes I read books.
46
What kind of books do you read?
47
Any interest subject.
48
And if I'm curious about one subject,
49
then I'll go find that book that I'm going to read and then I'll start reading it.
50
It doesn't happen often.
51
Okay, okay.
52
Do you prefer a physical copy of the book or do you prefer the e-book?
53
I definitely prefer to have the physical copy of the book because I can take the book everywhere with me.
54
It's easier for me to have the physical copy of the book for sure.
55
Okay.
56
Alright, that concludes the part one of the test.
57
We're going to move over to part two.
58
So now in part two, I'm going to give you a topic, and I'd like you to talk about it for about two minutes.
59
Before you talk, I'll give you one minute to just think about what you're going to talk about.
60
I will give you a pen and paper, so if you want to jot some notes down, do you understand?
61
Sure.
62
Okay.
63
So here, I'll give you, you already have a pen.
64
Take that paper.
65
So the question is, describe a time when you were on a journey where it was delayed.
66
Okay.
67
So I'll give you about a minute, you jot some things down, and then I'll let you know.
68
Thank you.
69
you you you
70
So you can speak yes, so it was the time that I was going from London Ontario to Ottawa and
71
And then in order to go from London, Ontario to Ottawa, you will catch a flight to Toronto.
72
And from Toronto, you go to Ottawa.
73
But the thing is, London, Ontario is a smaller city, so they don't have those big airplanes.
74
So the airplane most of the time had delays.
75
So one time I was waiting for our plane to land
76
because they come from other places and land in the other places to London, Ontario and then they, they, we take that plane.
77
So one time it was, it was, it had a delay so I was worrying to miss the flight from Toronto to Ottawa.
78
So I had to rush, I had to run from one gate to the other, when we reached Toronto, so I had to run.
79
I was running and I was sweating.
80
That wasn't fun.
81
Okay.
82
Alright.
83
So I will take your penning and shoot it from you.
84
Get that out of your Okay, and here's part three of the test.
85
We've been talking about an important journey that was delayed, and I'd like to now ask you some questions related to that.
86
So first question, how has modern transportation changed in the way people travel today compared to the past?
87
Modern transportation definitely changed the way people travel nowadays,
88
especially with airplanes, fastest speed trains and other way of traveling.
89
So it's safer, more efficient and fast saves a lot of time.
90
Definitely.
91
Okay.
92
If there are some tips to help when traveling, do you have any tips
93
that could help others? help others well it depends where you want to go let's say
94
if i want to travel with my car
95
so i'll make sure i have some tools in my car
96
so if something breaks down that i can fix my car my way
97
if i'm traveling let's say i'm I'm going to Italy, so I want to wear comfortable clothes, I want to have comfortable shoes,
98
and then I want to have a bag, some other stuff that I need.
99
So it all depends where I'm going and how I'm traveling.
100
What are advantages of traveling by plane and or train?
101
Well, the plane is the fastest way to travel.
102
So the advantage of traveling with plane is you save a lot of time.
103
And they say it's the safest way to travel.
104
So, and then the plane is the second safest way to travel, but it's not as fast as the plane.
105
But still it's very comfortable to travel with the train.
106
How would you change these forms of transportation for maybe, say, bettering the future?
107
Well, I definitely would like to see they become more affordable and then more people can travel.
108
And that would be my thing.
109
Definitely.
110
Okay, well, that concludes our part three of this.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
