1
Good morning, how are you today?
2
Actually quite tired because I mostly go swimming with my friends and my younger brother every single day.
3
Yeah.
4
Great.
5
So as you know, today we're going to have a speaking part of the IELTS test, right?
6
And my name is Chiang.
7
Okay, so what should I call you?
8
Actually, my Vietnamese name is Vũ Nguyễu Hành Anh, but you can call me Hannah in English or easy.
9
Oh, Hannah.
10
Okay, nice to meet you, Hannah.
11
Can we come to the first part of the test?
12
Okay?
13
Yes?
14
Okay.
15
Now we're gonna start the first part of the test.
16
I'm going to ask you some questions about yourself.
17
All right?
18
Yes.
19
So firstly, do you like listening to music on a regular basis?
20
Actually, I really love to listen to music every single day
21
because it has been a lot to to let me hear it down or maybe some music can mix with some knowledge.
22
So when I hear that at the same time, it really helps me to like have more knowledge about something,
23
maybe about culture or someplace.
24
Yeah.
25
All right.
26
So have you ever been interested in singing?
27
Actually, I'm bad at singing a lot.
28
So, that's the reason why when every single time when I sing at home,
29
my parents always say that Hoàng An, please don't sing anymore.
30
You can kill someone when you sing.
31
So, I just sing when I feel like I'm free, but just like in some...
32
my own pace it doesn't bother anyone.
33
Okay, great.
34
So the last question for you in this part, can you say that music is a very important part of your life?
35
Well, presumably music is one of my important part in my life
36
because it's really helpful for me to release my chest after or any hair tricks or challenge week or something like that.
37
Yeah, it's really helpful for me to relax and know more knowledge
38
and maybe I can use music to connect with people who have the same help base.
39
Alright, okay, thank you.
40
And now we're gonna come to part 2.
41
I'm going to give you a topic and I would like you to talk about it for 1 to 2 minutes.
42
Okay, so before you talk, you will have 1 minute to take notes and prepare for it.
43
Okay, do you understand?
44
Yeah.
45
Yes, alright.
46
Here is your topic.
47
And you have your papers and your pants.
48
Thank you.
49
It's a UK part Actually I quite remember
50
the first time when I heard that song Actually at that time I really checked for
51
because of my ankle wetting so my house was quite noisy so I must change the scenery Yeah,
52
and at the time I go to the coffee shop and the famous star of their band is open.
53
It catches my attention and I'm really impressed with that.
54
So when I come back home, I immediately go to Google and talk about their band and their music song.
55
And actually there are a lot of reasons that I love and I really enjoy to hear that thing.
56
The first reason is that music has a lot of knowledge for me about,
57
I don't know why, but they always like singing with a lot of knowledge about a culture of their hometown.
58
So when I heard that, I can broaden my horizons about that city,
59
that town and moreover, the important reasons,
60
other reasons is that they have a lot of work and they always like to have a public charity.
61
So yeah, so it's hard that I really love to hear about MCBs part about their music.
62
So in my future, maybe I wish that I can hear them.
63
Yes, thank you so much.
64
Okay, so we have completed part two.
65
And now, can I take back the two part?
66
All right, thank you.
67
So now I'm gonna take you to part 3 of the test.
68
We have been talking about a band that you enjoy listening to, right?
69
And now we're going to talk about something, ask you some questions regarding this topic.
70
So the first question for you is do you think music is getting better as time goes on?
71
Yeah, maybe.
72
Actually, I didn't know in the future is, but maybe because of its benefits.
73
So, a lot of people enjoy that and use that as their hobbies to enjoy that every time.
74
So, for example, when you go out on a trip, you can see a lot of people there have a headphone to listen to music
75
during the day like ride a bike or ride a car.
76
Alright, so where do you think people enjoy listening to music the most?
77
Question.
78
I mean the place.
79
Where do you think people enjoy listening to music?
80
I think it depends.
81
If for the adult or owner, they can't like keep listening in their office.
82
So they must listen in their free time, maybe at home or on a coffee shop,
83
maybe just some pastime place.
84
But for the children or for the teenagers like me,
85
we really enjoy to listen to music when We ride a motorbike because when we ride a car,
86
yeah, so it's quite a special place.
87
Okay, so that is the end of the test for today.
88
Thank you so much.
89
Okay, so I hope you have completed the last one.
90
Now, I will give you some comments and some advice to improve the speaking voice.
91
Ok, right?
92
First is Fluency and Coherence The first thing in the speaking is Mạch lạc,
93
độ mạch lạc và độ trôi chảy So in this,
94
you have a key to willing to speak at length That is to try to make the answer for you Ok?
95
That is the point that you really like for me Because I have tried to make the answer for you
96
And it's not to be a long-term, but it's to be a long-term Okay?
97
Okay, ngoài ra thì có một cái nữa mà chị cũng rất là thích, đấy là cái phần discourse marker, tức là các từ nối hoặc thiết bị nối của em trong phần speaking rất là tốt.
98
Em dùng các từ như là moreover, rồi furthermore, đó, okay.
99
Ngoài ra thì em cũng có thể sử dụng những cái từ như là therefore, alright, rồi what's more, đúng không nào?
100
Đó, vậy thì phần này chị sẽ cho em khoảng tầm 6.0 cho tới 6.5,
101
because I think I need to add more the 4 words to discuss for more discourse markers.
102
Alright.
103
The next step is the Lexical Resource which is the Tử.
104
So, I see that I use a few Cục Idiom,
105
Cục Thành Ngữ which is very nice like Let my hair down Okay, good job.
106
And then broaden my horizons good job so I think that we have tried to use the word for high-class
107
so we can use this from 6.5 to 7 okay good job
108
and the next one is the one that is quite important
109
it is grammatical range and accuracy Tức là phần ngữ pháp và độ chính xác của em
110
Thì ở đây chị cũng có một nhận xét nhỏ nhỏ
111
Đấy là em có một số lỗi sai liên quan đến to verb và verb in Đúng không nào?
112
Ví dụ như em có sử dụng từ must nhưng mà
113
lại đi với to go Must có đi với to go được không nào?
114
Không nha!
115
Rồi must phải đi với verb Đúng không?
116
Hoặc là mình có cái từ đấy là Love to singing hoặc là love to listening So,
117
in the next step, we have a key to the verb in.
118
Okay, so we will take a few more details.
119
Here we have a key to the next step.
120
That is, we have a mix of simple and complex structures.
121
We have a mix of the simple and complex structures.
122
We have a mix of the structure of the common and common structure.
123
If you have a lot of words in the same way, you will not be able to understand the same way.
124
Okay, so we have some words like Bệnh đề quan hệ, or some words using the word That we will be able to get more than this And this is for me,
125
I will give you about 6 Right?
126
6 or 6, I can say 5.5 Okay, so we have to do this very much Finally,
127
we have pronunciation That is the word pronunciation I think that I have a little bit of a little About ending sound,
128
it's S Okay, so you want to achieve this, you want to succeed in this training, you need to watch a lot of films.
129
One of the films that you have mentioned is Friends.
130
You know?
131
Okay, and other than I have a film How I Met Your Mother.
132
It's a very famous film.
133
Alright.
134
So this pronunciation can be used to be at about 5.5 to 6.
135
Okay, and we have to try to reach the level of 6.
136
So, I think that you are very good at all, but I still have to try to do a little bit.
137
Okay, just a little bit.
138
Alright, so some of the resources that you want to go up to me is to make some English show
139
to me to improve the language as Ellen Shaw.
140
Have you read Ellen Shaw?
141
You know right?
142
Okay.
143
In that show, I have a very up to date, very modern and teen.
144
Okay?
145
Also, in English, I can use grammar in use.
146
Grammar in use is very famous in the English language.
147

148
Or, I can find out a lot of books.

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.
