21
Now let's talk about collecting things.
22
So do you collect anything?
23
I don't really buy things, but I guess I collect books.
24
Yeah.
25
Whenever I see books online that I really wanted to read instead of going to library,
26
I like to have them.
27
So I guess I buy books.
28
I can say I collect them.
29
Yes.
30
And are there any things that you have kept from your childhood?
31
From my childhood, a doll,
32
a small tiny little doll.
33
It looks like a bear.
34
It can be teddy bear, but this tiny little one has a mole now.
35
From like I guess being humid in the atmosphere Being too old,
36
but I have kept it from my childhood since I was very little great and
37
Where do you usually keep the things you need?
38
That I need you mean like cell phones wallet yes Next to my bath,
39
yeah, or in my bag, or somewhere I can see.
40
Yeah, so that I don't forget them.
41
Perfect.
42
Okay, now let's talk about watches.
43
So do you wear a watch?
44
I only wear it whenever I go for something really important meeting
45
or when I was a student graduate student when we had a conference or events
46
that I really need to see my watch instead of looking
47
at my phone constantly then I prefer to wear a watch
48
but I don't really do it in my daily time daily yeah yes
49
and have you ever received a watch as a gift yeah
50
but when I was in middle school or high school not
51
or yeah it was a gift for my college entering the college from my dad I remember
52
that from the Jeju airport yeah when we travel but
53
that was like the last gift for the watch
54
that I got yes and why do some people wear expensive watches why that's a good Good question.
55
There are some people who like luxurious things.
56
Maybe it expresses their identity that it shows them they're important as watches that they paid,
57
or maybe they just like them.
58
And do you think it's important to wear a watch?
59
Yes or no. It is important for those who think it is important.
60
Or I don't think it's important because we always bring our phone with us.
61
But I think it's good to not look at the phone when I'm in an important situation like a meeting or conference.
62
Perfect.
63
Okay that'll do us for part one.
64
We'll go on to part two.
65
Let's test now.
66
Okay.
67
Here is your question.
68
You can use this pencil.
69
You can do some note-taking taking there if you like so I'll give you one minute to prepare.
70
Alright, you can begin.
71
Okay, that is one minute.
72
Okay.
73
Alright.
74
So, yeah, could you describe a rural area that you have been to?
75
So, the rural area I went, I've been to is called 예산 in 충청도,
76
which is my dad's hometown.
77
I went there four or five years ago with my grandmother and with my uncle and his wife.
78
He's my dad's older brother.
79
We went there because I was just back from the U.S because I went there for studying as a graduate student.
80
And it was a trip
81
with all of them to please my grandmother
82
because she was almost 90 years old and we haven't really traveled together
83
so we took our dad's car to take everyone
84
and we went to different places like like there's a big lake where we could take a walk
85
or the famous restaurant that they serve like fish soup and then like the popular,
86
not popular, but like a museum where they were the guy, like the famous scholar from the dynasty period,
87
like in the history, historical area.
88
And I felt really good
89
and it was very precious time to spend with my grandmother since I didn't spend much time with her
90
because she was always in the church.
91
and I was always busy studying or working and we haven't spent time together.
92
So I really liked going there.
93
Perfect.
94
That's two minutes right now.
95
Okay.
96
Nice one.
97
Would you like to go back there in the future?
98
Yeah, sure.
99
Yeah, it's my dad's hometown,
100
so we can go there and also my dad's sister's husband is there for farming.
101
Oh.
102
Yeah, so we can go there whenever we want to.
103
Nice, nice.
104
Sounds good.
105
Okay, let's go on to part three of the test.
106
Let's keep it going.
107
Okay.
108
All right.
109
So what do you think are the main differences between cities and the countryside?
110
The main differences can be the number of population
111
that the city has millions of people
112
but the rural area has very little young especially young people that everyone worries about the rural area getting old,
113
that no one could work to make the city have like a young vibe
114
and not many children who can take care of the area in the future.
115
And the The city is of course very busy and vigorous,
116
has 24 hours, 24-7 lights everywhere, never sleep, the city itself.
117
But the rural area goes to off-light after the sun goes away.
118
So it's kind of scary sometimes to walk around after like 7-8 p.m but not in the city.
119
Yes.
120
And so you mentioned there that many young people are leaving rural areas.
121
Are there any measures that governments can take to encourage people to live in rural areas?
122
Any measure?
123
Anything they can do.
124
Oh. If they offer money.
125
Yes.
126
But enough money to make a living in rural areas or some jobs that young people can take.
127
or may create some fun things,
128
not only jobs but also fun things like music festival or cinema,
129
the theater, outdoor activities that young parents and children can enjoy that might bring young people to rural areas.
130
Yes, yes.
131
And what kind of people like to live in rural areas?
132
People who prefer to live in a slower mode, not as fast-paced.
133
those who like to live with people like neighbors who can say hi,
134
who like to spend some time in nature instead of being in a crowded noisy
135
yeah places in city
136
and for older people do you think rural areas are more suitable for them
137
or our cities more suitable depends on what they need
138
if they are from city if they spend their whole life in the city, they might prefer to live with their children
139
or in the daycare center for
140
the elderly.
141
But if they are from the rural areas,
142
then they might not want to move to other places because just because they're familiar with it.
143
Yes.
144
And do people in your country like to go hiking?
145
Yeah, yeah a lot.
146
I also like for hiking and I see a lot of people walking
147
with the sticks and hiking equipment as if they are going to Himalaya Mountain or something.
148
Right.
149
True.
150
Okay.
151
All right.
152
That will do us for part three.
153
So we've finished the test.
154
All right.
155
Yeah.
156
So let's start with the feedback now.
157
So I'd estimate your score to be around a seven.
158
Yeah.
159
Yeah.
160
Really good test you're very good pronunciation and fluency you speak very clearly you answered the questions well
161
let's just talk about a few parts of the test that maybe we could improve on when you talked about
162
let's talk about vocabulary first
163
when you talked about the city i think you said the
164
word like vigorous was it maybe vibrant would be a better word there cities are vibrant or lively yeah
165
and when you've mentioned a slower mode and afterwards you mentioned pace right
166
so I think it's better to say slower pace of life
167
like rural areas have a slower pace of life compared to
168
larger cities you mentioned daycare center for older people do you
169
mean like a nursing home is it yeah maybe nursing home is better there
170
so nursing home as in where they stay yeah community center you You could also use more for activities for older people,
171
so community centers in rural areas.
172
What about nursery?
173
Nursery sounds more for very young children, yeah.
174
So I'd probably say like nursing home or...
175
Nursing home, community...
176
Community center, yeah.
177
Community center is more for organizing activities for older people and for everyone, basically.
178
Yeah, as I said, pronunciation was really good.
179
I would say just a little bit of confusion between leave and live.
180
Right.
181
A little bit there with the long and the short vowel, you know.
182
So just make sure you try and get a little bit shorter, live in rural areas.
183
Yeah.
184
Yeah, in terms of grammar, grammar is pretty strong most of the way.
185
Small things like you said, go to library.
186
Usually we say the library.
187
So, yeah, I used to go to the library.
188
I often go to the library.
189
Go for really important meeting.
190
So you should be saying go to a.
191
If I go to a really important meeting, I wear a watch to check the time.
192
When we talked about part two, this is a common one in part two.
193
You talked about your family trip and you said we haven't really traveled together
194
so you use the present perfect tense but you should use the past perfect tense like
195
before that trip we hadn't traveled together before that was our first trip together or yeah
196
and same thing like you use past simple i think this
197
was okay here you said i didn't spend much time with
198
her in the past like you could also say like i hadn't spent i hadn't spent much time with before
199
that trip if it changed.
200
Small things about countable and uncountable, I think he said very little young people,
201
so that's for the uncountable nouns, so it should be very few young people live in rural areas.
202
When the sun goes away, should be when the sun goes down, when the sun goes down or or simply when the sun sets.
203
When we talk about hiking, I think you said like go for hiking.
204
You can, two options there, you can say go plus ing,
205
so go hiking, or go for a hike, go for a hike.
206
The same way with like running, go running, go for a run.
207
So yeah, but really, really clear test, really nice, nicely answered questions.
208
So yeah, thank you for coming in.
209
Thank you.
210
Thank you.
211
All right.

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.
