40

59
Okay, since I'm a student here in Korea, so I have met my family three years ago,
60
which is so long and I really miss them.
61
So the last time we met it was back in my home country in Uzbekistan.
62
So we had a dinner together right before I was about to come to Korea.
63
So it was such a good time and I still remember those times and cry sometimes.
64
Yeah, so how long you spent together we spent around I mean I would say a whole day together
65
because it was such an important time for me being with my family on that day
66
and I hope we will meet in coming summer as I'm planning to go back to my home country
67
and we will spend time together again we will maybe watch
68
the movies together we will have a family night hour or some dinner together.
69
Yeah.
70
So we met...
71
Before coming to Korea, did you spend a lot of time with your family?
72
Yeah, I spent right before coming to Korea, I was so busy with my studies and preparation for coming to Korea,
73
so I wouldn't say we spend a lot of time, but I would prefer spending more time.
74
Okay, and what kinds of things do you like to do together with your family?
75
Usually we like to watch movies together, to discuss some news or topics together.
76
Okay, thank you.
77
That is the end of part two.
78
We are now going to move on to part three of the test, where we will talk about the topic in more detail.
79
Okay.
80
Is family important in your country?
81
Yeah, I would say family is one of the most important things in my country because unless we consider family as,
82
I mean, we consider parents as those who are giving you a kind of map to your future life.
83
Yeah, so family is important in my country.
84
Okay, and who should be responsible to care for the elderly?
85
Should it be the family or the government?
86
I feel like both.
87
It's important for a family to take care of elders too,
88
but for government is more important or less because the elders, they have been working a lot
89
before for government and yeah i think government
90
and family the boss okay how has the size of the
91
average family changed in your country over the last decades over
92
the last decades is it's changed dramatically i would say
93
because um maybe like 20 years ago they were about it there were about
94
five to ten maybe children in one family in my country
95
but nowadays i think it's an it's because of financial problems
96
and you know like it's these days it's
97
so hard to keep your kids satisfied
98
so yeah these days like three to four kids in average okay
99
and how do you think families will change in the future?
100
I say the numbers of kids it will decrease and I don't know why but these days
101
those habits that it was important before was spending time with family
102
and like you know some simple things like having a dinner together it's not
103
that popular these days I don't know why I feel so sorry for that.
104
Okay let's move on to the roles of different family members.
105
Should husbands and wives have different roles within the family?
106
That's an interesting question.
107
I think they have to They have to divide the roles
108
and import responsibilities because it's important for both of them to keep family together in any aspects like financial or social.
109
Okay.
110
And what role would you say grandparents play in the family in your country?
111
I think grandparents are those who are giving kids like understanding of good behavior,
112
how to well behave and how to be a good person.
113
Okay, thank you.
114
That is the end of your IELTS speaking test.
115
Thank you so much for your time and I hope you have a good day.
116
Thank you.
117
Okay, I'm just going to ask you some post-test questions.
118
Just some questions about how you felt about the test.
119
What are your overall feelings about today's test?
120
I would say it was quite good and the examiner was such a nice
121
and questions were not that hard as I expected.
122
Yeah, but maybe because I was kind of nervous.
123
Yeah.
124
Okay.
125
Which part did you find the most difficult?
126
For me it was part two
127
because even though I had time to think about the answer
128
and give a good question answer but it was kind of hard for me to put all my
129
you know put all together.
130
I'm sure it's always hard talking about your family.
131
Which part did you find the easiest?
132
I think part one was the easiest one for me.
133
Because it was just, you know, overall questions about just my day-to-day life.
134
Okay.
135
What topics would you have preferred to come up today? About education.
136
Yeah, because I like to talk about education.
137
Okay.
138
Okay.
139
What tips do you have for other test takers?
140
I would say, first of all, vocabulary, because I guess vocabulary is a key.
141
So if your vocabulary is big, I mean huge, and you have a lot of words and expressions, and you can express your feelings and thoughts in the right way,
142
it would be good.
143
Okay.
144
And what score band do you think you got today?
145
That's a hard question.
146
I don't know, something between five and six maybe.

Inside an IELTS Speaking Test: A Real-Life Practice Example
If you’re looking to learn English with videos, this IELTS Speaking mock test is a goldmine. The conversation between examiner Nadia and student Madina shows how real test-takers handle everyday topics like movies and music. Madina’s answers are natural, with small errors that reflect common learner challenges—making it perfect for practicing fluency and confidence.
5 Phrases to Boost Your Daily English
Extract practical phrases from the dialogue to use in your own conversations:
- “To be honest” – A great way to start honest answers (e.g., “To be honest, I don’t like spicy food”).
- “Frankly speaking” – Similar to “to be honest,” adds clarity (e.g., “Frankly speaking, the movie was too long”).
- “From my point of view” – Express your opinion politely (e.g., “From my point of view, online learning is flexible”).
- “Kind of pricey” – A casual way to say something is expensive (e.g., “Café lattes are kind of pricey here”).
- “That’s an interesting one” – Respond to unexpected questions smoothly (e.g., “That’s an interesting one—let me think!”).
How to Shadow This Video Like a Pro
Shadow speech (repeating after a speaker) is a proven way to improve pronunciation and rhythm. Here’s how to tackle this video:
- Listen first: Watch the video once to understand the flow. Notice Madina’s pauses and intonation.
- Pause and repeat: Stop after 2-3 seconds of dialogue and mimic the speaker. Focus on copying stress (e.g., “kind of pricey” vs. “kind of pricey”).
- Speed it up: Once you’re comfortable, try repeating in real time. This trains your mouth to keep up with natural speech.
- Record yourself: Compare your version to the video. Did you miss any “ums” or “ahs”? Those small details make you sound more natural.
This video is ideal for a shadowing site because it’s slow enough for beginners but realistic enough for IELTS prep. With practice, you’ll start speaking with the same ease as Madina—one phrase at a time.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have put · have met · have preferred |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | test, which is · those 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.
