1
Ooh, this guy is going to take the CELPIP exam.
2
And he's studying for task five.
3
of the speaking test.
4
Task five is compare and persuade.
5
Do you know how to answer this question?
6
Well, in this lesson, I'm going to teach you exactly how you should answer this question.
7
Hey, I wrote a book called "CELPIP Speaking Practice" to help
8
you practice all the tasks on the speaking part of the test.
9
So if you want to buy a copy of my book you can just buy a PDF on my website, metv .cool.
10
Okay, so this question is actually the longest question on the speaking part of the test.
11
It has three parts: 60 seconds to choose, 60 seconds to prepare, and 60 seconds to speak.
12
Now, a lot of people are a little bit confused with this question when they first see it.
13
Because here, You're given two options that you have to choose one of the options, okay?
14
A lot of people think they have to somehow compare
15
both of those options but that's that's not the case okay you just you look at the options
16
and you pick one that you like.
17
Okay, that's it.
18
That's all you're doing in this 60 seconds.
19
Okay, then after you pick one that you like, Then, You're gonna get another one.
20
random something else is going to appear and then you have to compare that new one with your selection.
21
and then you have 60 seconds to prepare for that and then after The preparation time is done,
22
it'll say "Start speaking now" and then you have 60 seconds to speak.
23
Okay, so here's one of the questions from my book:
24
"You and your spouse have decided to renovate one room of the house this summer."
25
Which room do you think it should be?
26
Persuade your spouse that your choice is better.
27
Okay, so you have to renovate one of the rooms in your house.
28
So here is the choice.
29
Now remember You have 60 seconds.
30
to pick one that you like and then you're gonna forget about it okay
31
so let's look at our options the first one is bedroom cost $4 ,000.
32
New paint and carpets.
33
length of project, one month, and you do it yourself.
34
Okay, this one is the living room costs 7 ,000 new windows and floor, Length of project: two weeks.
35
And you hire professionals.
36
Okay, well, personally, I don't know how to fix a house myself or how to renovate a room in the house myself.
37
So I think this one is going to be better for me.
38
Hire professionals.
39
So I'm going to choose This one.
40
Okay, then after this, I mean, I'm never going to see that information again.
41
That information is gone forever.
42
Now I'm just going to compare the living room with the next one that pops up.
43
So this is the next part of the question.
44
It says your spouse is recommending the kitchen.
45
Here we have the kitchen.
46
10 ,000 dollars, new cupboards and counters, Length of project: 1 week Your uncles will help.
47
Hmm.
48
Okay, so you're going to see these side by side.
49
Okay, now here you have 60 seconds to prepare your answer.
50
Okay, so I mean let's take a look at these.
51
Now, should you take notes?
52
Well, you could take notes.
53
Some people might find it helpful, but actually I mean, you have information here Um...
54
And I think it's more important that you understand the information than that you take notes.
55
Okay so make sure you you understand what you know what is better about each one.
56
What are the good things about that one?
57
Well it's a bit cheaper.
58
Right?
59
Um...
60
Professionals might do a better job than your uncles and yourself.
61
This one's a bit more expensive.
62
Ooh, this one's shorter.
63
Look, only one week.
64
That one is two weeks.
65
Okay, so we need to familiarize ourselves with with this information and prepare our argument.
66
Remember, we're comparing and persuading.
67
Okay, so like I said, we're going to use comparison words in our answer.
68
Like this: cheaper, faster, better, So try to think of different words you can use to compare them.
69
And then you're going to try to persuade.
70
You're going to try to persuade the person in this case your spouse, by using comparison words and reasons.
71
Okay, so we use reasons to persuade people of something, right?
72
For example, you could say this: "Renovating the living room would be better because Why?
73
What are your reasons?
74
You should have a few reasons.
75
Don't just spend all your time talking about one thing.
76
Try to have a few reasons.
77
Now one.
78
key to this question, if you want to get a good mark on this question, you should know how to handle objections.
79
How to handle objections.
80
What does that mean?
81
Well, every sales person in the world knows what this means, how to handle objections.
82
Let's say you're a salesman selling I don't know.
83
selling something like vacuum cleaners Okay, let's say I come to your house, knock on your door, and say,
84
"Hi, I'm selling vacuum cleaners in the community.
85
Would you like to buy a vacuum cleaner?" What are you going to say?
86
"Uh, no. No thanks." I say, "Well, these are great vacuum cleaners.
87
You know, you'll probably.. they have like a five -year warranty.
88
You should have.. you should definitely have a good vacuum cleaner in your house." And then you say, "No, we don't need one.
89
We already have one.
90
How am I going to handle that objection?
91
Then I need to persuade you
92
that my vacuum cleaner is better than the one you have in your house." in your house.
93
Those are objections.
94
So your wife or your husband, in this case, whatever, your spouse is recommending renovating the kitchen.
95
Okay, so I mean, what are you going to say?
96
There may be some things in that argument or that option that are better than your option.
97
Okay, so let's take a look at them here.
98
So like I said, that was the living room is cheaper, so that's better.
99
Okay, but this one is shorter.
100
Okay, so you're gonna spend less time renovating, you know, less time of having people in your house and like coming and going,
101
having materials in your house.
102
I mean, the kitchen is an important room.
103
in your house and so if it's under renovation for a week that's a bit annoying.
104
Right.
105
But hey, it's less time than that.
106
Okay, so I mean, you have to be able to handle If your wife says, "Well, this one is shorter," what are you going to say?
107
Okay, so we need to handle the good parts of this argument because That one was our selection.
108
right so we need to sell that one we need to persuade our spouse
109
that that's the right one and this one is you know maybe we can do this a different time okay so
110
Here's how you handle objections.
111
You could say...
112
I would recommend one of two options.
113
Okay?
114
Even though the kitchen project would be faster, Even though the kitchen project would be faster, Um...
115
I don't think we're really concerned about time this summer.
116
This summer we have lots of time.
117
So, I mean, the length of the project doesn't really matter to us.
118
That would be one way.
119
Or you could say, "I know the kitchen project would be faster, but really, we have lots of time this summer, so it doesn't really matter how long it takes.
120
Two, three, four weeks.
121
We have lots of time." So this is how you should handle the the things that are better
122
in the other person's selection.
123
Okay, so how should you start your answer?
124
Well, If you're talking to your friends or your family, I would recommend starting with "Hey guys".
125
"Hey guys, I know you're recommending going to the hockey game, but I think the football game would be better." Now if you're talking to one person
126
like let's say your brother
127
then you should use a name like "Hey Tom" or "Hey Bill" If you're talking to your mom or your dad
128
You can say, "Hey, Mom.
129
Hey, Dad.
130
Hey, Grandma." You know, those things.
131
If it's to someone who's not a family member or friend, if it's like a more professional person,
132
then it might be better to say hi.
133
you know, "Hi Dr. Smith, hi Miss
134
Smith whatever okay so but if it's it's probably going to be a casual
135
setting then you should just say hey guys or the person's name.
136
Okay?
137
Now how should you end this Answer.
138
Well...
139
I would start with the word anyway.
140
Very often native English speakers Say words like "alright" or "anyway" to trigger
141
the end of what we're saying to sort of give a conclusion Okay, so like this.
142
Anyway, that's why I think we should renovate the living room instead of the kitchen.
143
Anyway, I hope I've convinced you that renovating the living room would be better than renovating the kitchen.
144
You're going to say something like that as just a short conclusion to your answer.
145
Okay, so here's my answer from my book.
146
Okay, let's take a look.
147
"Hey Gina, I know you're recommending that we renovate the kitchen.
148
but I think it would be better to renovate the living room instead.
149
The thing is that our summers always go by so fast
150
and I don't want to waste time on a project like this.
151
If we hire professionals to renovate the living room for us, We'll have time to go camping together.
152
We can just ask your cousin Mandy to house -sit for us while we're gone.
153
She can let the workers in and out of the house every day.
154
I know the kitchen project would go faster with the help of Uncle Tom and Uncle Jerry, but if we go camping for two weeks,
155
it won't really matter how long the project took.
156
- Okay.
157
The other thing is that we're trying to save up for a new vehicle next year.
158
I know the kitchen would only be $3000 more than the living room, but That money could pay for a big chunk of the new car.
159
Anyway, those are the reasons why I think we should renovate the living room instead of the kitchen.
160
I didn't say that, but you could say that.
161
You could add that piece on the end.
162
And then just you could close like this.
163
Maybe we can tackle the kitchen next summer.
164
Okay?
165
You can just have a short thing like this, "Hey, maybe we can go to the soccer game." next weekend.
166
Maybe we can tackle the kitchen.
167
next summer.
168
Maybe we can go camping, next week.
169
Okay, so that would probably be a nice thing because then you're sort of,
170
you're making them happy by acknowledging that you value their choice.
171
You don't want to be rude in this question.
172
You don't want to say "Guys, this is the best," or "We need to do this," but you need to be a little bit sensitive.
173
when you're handling this situation because you don't want to make your friends mad.
174
You don't want to make your spouse mad.
175
So try to be a little bit accommodating.
176
Okay.
177
So, let's do some homework.
178
Okay, your friends...
179
are.. well, you and your friends are going to sporting event this weekend,
180
or you want to go to a sporting event this weekend, okay?
181
Now, you need to choose one, and convince your friends that your option is better.
182
So if you pick this one, We'll just assume that your friends picked that one.
183
If you pick that one then your friends pick this one.
184
So you need to pick one that you like and then compare it with the other one.
185
Okay?
186
So let me know your answers down there in the comments
187
and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
188
Take care.
189
Bye.
190
you you you you Thank you.
Contexto e Antecedentes
O exame CELPIP é uma importante avaliação para quem deseja imigrar ou estudar em países de língua inglesa. A parte de fala do exame é dividida em várias tarefas, e a Tarefa 5 é uma das mais desafiadoras. Nela, os candidatos devem compará-los e persuadir, escolhendo entre duas opções apresentadas. O vídeo que estamos analisando fornece dicas valiosas sobre como se preparar para essa tarefa e como organizar as ideias de forma eficaz durante o tempo limitado de resposta.
Top 5 Frases para Comunicação Diária
- “Eu escolheria…” - Uma maneira de expressar sua preferência ao iniciar a comparação.
- “Os custos são...” - Útil para mencionar aspectos financeiros durante a argumentação.
- “O tempo necessário para concluir é…” - Importante para discutir a duração do projeto de reforma.
- “Apoio profissional é melhor porque...” - Usado para justificar sua decisão de optar por ajuda externa.
- “Por que acredito que meu setor escolhido é superior...” - Uma frase persuasiva que leva a conclusão das suas ideias.
Guia Passo a Passo de Shadowing
Para aqueles que buscam melhorar suas habilidades de fala utilizando a técnica de shadowing, aqui está um guia prático, baseado no conteúdo do vídeo:
- Escute com Atenção: Assista ao vídeo e concentre-se nas dicas dadas sobre a Tarefa 5 do CELPIP. Identifique como o falante estrutura seus pensamentos.
- Reproduza as Frases: Utilize técnicas de shadow speak. Repita as frases que você anotou na seção anterior, tentando imitar a pronúncia e entonação do orador.
- Pratique em Dupla: Envolva um parceiro de estudos e simule um exame, onde um de vocês faz a escolha e o outro faz a comparação. Isso aumentará sua fluência e confiança.
- Tempo Controlado: Use um cronômetro durante a prática para simular a pressão do exame real. Lembre-se, você terá 60 segundos para preparar e 60 para falar.
- Revisão da Performance: Grave sua prática e ouça novamente para autoavaliação. Observe os pontos que precisam de melhorias e aplique o shadow speech novamente.
Integrar essas técnicas de shadowspeak pode ser extremamente benéfico para fortalecer sua capacidade de falar em inglês, especialmente em um contexto tão exigente quanto o CELPIP. A prática consistente não só melhora sua fluência, mas também a capacidade de pensar e estruturar respostas rapidamente em situações de alta pressão.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
