42
that sounds the most natural.
43
So first question, are you good at art?
44
Well, I don't see myself as the artsy type.
45
I mean, I used to take drawing lessons as a child, but I realized at some point in my life that
46
I don't have a knack for this kind of craft and so I gave up altogether.
47
That being said, I still try scribbling some random light-hearted doodles here and there,
48
most of which draw heavy inspiration from the comics that I read in my lifetime.
49
Question number two, do you often visit art galleries?
50
Well, I'm a bit of a culture vulture, so I'm always on the lookout for the newest art showcases in my town.
51
There are only a handful though.
52
And most of the galleries in Hanoi feature arcade exhibits and historical themed artworks,
53
which are admittedly pretty boring to me.
54
Well, as with people my age, I prefer looking at curated collections of modern art.
55
And the Vincom Center of Contemporary Art near my house can provide just the experience.
56
Question number three.
57
What kinds of paintings do people like?
58
Well, to be honest, aesthetic preference is something that can vary from person to person.
59
But something we can all agree on is that paintings from the Renaissance are indeed the most well-liked.
60
either for their unmatched, virtuous soul, or for their timeless appeal.
61
That is not the case for me though, as I tend to gravitate towards pieces that have a more avant-garde feel to it.
62
So I guess that's it for today's video.
63
I hope that you can learn a little from my share and use them for the Kỳ thi IELTS Speaking soon.

Mastering IELTS Speaking Part 1: Art Vocabulary and Shadowing Tips
For English learners prepping for IELTS Speaking Part 1, the video offers practical vocabulary and strategies to tackle art-related questions. The speaker, a seasoned IELTS teacher, breaks down key terms and demonstrates how to use them naturally, making it a valuable resource for building fluency and confidence.
Essential Phrases for Art-Related Conversations
- Artwork/Work of art/Masterpiece: Replace repetitive terms like "picture" with these to add variety. For example, "The Mona Lisa is a timeless masterpiece."
- Curated: Describes a carefully organized selection, such as "a curated playlist" or "a curated art collection at the British Museum."
- Culture vulture: Refers to someone passionate about art and culture, like "I’m a culture vulture who loves visiting galleries."
- Avant-garde: Describes experimental art that challenges norms, e.g., "Her avant-garde paintings redefine traditional techniques."
- Artsy type: A casual term for someone skilled in art, as in "I’m not the artsy type, but I enjoy doodling."
Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for This Video
To improve English pronunciation and fluency using the shadowing technique, follow these steps. First, listen to short clips of the video (5-10 seconds) and repeat immediately, mimicking the speaker’s tone and rhythm. This "shadow speech" helps train your mouth to form sounds naturally. Use a shadowing app or site to slow down the audio if needed—pausing to focus on tricky words like "avant-garde" or "curated" ensures clarity. Next, practice linking phrases smoothly, such as "I’m a bit of a culture vulture, so I’m always on the lookout..." to build conversational flow. Finally, record yourself and compare it to the video; this helps identify areas to refine, like intonation or stress. Consistent use of the shadowing technique with this video will not only boost your art-related vocabulary but also enhance your overall speaking skills for IELTS.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | can be called · is curated · is called |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | people who have · people who are |
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.
