1
Feeling ready for your IELTS speaking exam?
2
Alright, let's test that.
3
What if your part two question was, describe a person who has inspired you?
4
Would you feel confident enough to give an answer that could actually get you a band nine?
5
Well, by the end of this video,
6
you might well be able to do exactly that because today we're going to listen to three answers to that exact question.
7
One band five, one band seven and one band nine.
8
All about one of Britain's most inspiring people, Sir David Attenborough.
9
And together we'll break down exactly why each answer scores what it does.
10
So you can start sounding more fluent, more natural and yes, more like a band nine speaker.
11
Oh, and before I forget, I've made a free IELTS lesson pack
12
that goes even deeper with five more part two questions with model answers and short exercises you can practice with at home.
13
You can grab it by scanning the QR code on screen right now
14
or you'll find it in the description box or the pinned comment below.
15
All right let's start with the band five answer shall we?
16
Okay so the cue card reads this.
17
Describe a person who has inspired you.
18
You should say who the person is, how you know them, what qualities they have,
19
and explain how they inspire you.
20
All right, so now let's go into the band five answer and then we'll analyze why it gets the mark it gets.
21
Okay, so I'm now going to imitate somebody who is non-native trying
22
to give an answer in the IELTS speaking exam who comes in around a band five.
23
All right.
24
Can you spot where their limitations lie?
25
So I might say, I want to talk about David Attenborough,
26
who is one of the most like famous nature people in the world.
27
I think he's from England and he make documentaries about animals and the environment.
28
I started watching his programs when I was like small and even now I still see him on Netflix or BBC.
29
He's very old, almost 100 but he he still you know go around and record things which I find really
30
inspiring what I really like is that he speak he speaks very calm and you can feel he really
31
loves nature from his heart sometimes when he he talks about animals dying
32
or or the earth getting worse I feel emotional it's not only like a tv guy
33
but kind of like a teacher for the whole world
34
because he tries to make people realize that we are destroying the planet
35
so yeah i think he's um very special person
36
and i hope i can do something similar in my life you know like
37
help the planet uh like he does okay so
38
that was the band five answer now let's go over why
39
that would get a band five in my opinion by breaking down the marking criteria
40
so first up we've got fluency and coherence um there's a lot of hesitation in the way that i did it
41
there's some filler language like um like you know
42
and self-correction I sometimes said he speak I should have said he speaks
43
so that signals a lack of confidence in real-time speech the ideas are logical but the sentences often lose structure halfway through
44
which is a classic feature of someone trying to express complex
45
thoughts before they've built the fluency to hold them together
46
which is a very common issue because for adult learners because
47
if you think about it you have really sophisticated thoughts in your own language
48
and very often you want to try and migrate those thoughts into this new foreign language.
49
But really what we want to do until we get the fluency going, until we have the grammar down, we want to stay in our lane.
50
We want to stay with some basic sentences using the correct grammar structure that we've learnt
51
and not try to get too complicated too soon.
52
Otherwise, yeah, it sounds discombobulated or it sounds,
53
otherwise it sounds a little bit confusing
54
because if you think about the journey of a native with any language as they grow up, they don't have sophisticated thoughts at the beginning.
55
You know, a baby is not going to be talking about the political agenda of 2026.
56
they're thinking milk that's it right i don't know how young we how old we are
57
when we evolve beyond just milk poo sleep
58
but you know we we gradually get more and more sophisticated thoughts
59
and the vocabulary grows with us what we want to do is we want to try
60
and mirror that
61
so avoid trying to do two complex sentences basically all right let's now talk about grammar um there were some verb
62
agreement errors.
63
I think I said he make documentaries.
64
I might have also said he speak very calmly.
65
May have said speaks, can't remember.
66
But that's the point that I'm making.
67
Try not to make those grammar errors.
68
And then some tense slips,
69
like I started watch instead of I started watching or there was another one that I used the non-ing form.
70
So those things you need to look out for.
71
And then occasional sentence fragments or unfinished thoughts.
72
Like he's not only like a TV guy, but dot, dot, dot.
73
And I kind of didn't finish my thought very well.
74
And again, what this shows is ambition without accuracy.
75
And that's perfectly typical of a band five.
76
The speaker's trying to stretch their English, but the grammar control just can't quite keep up. And then vocabulary.
77
Actually, it wasn't too bad.
78
Destroying the planet, for example, that was quite good.
79
And then from his heart, emotional, inspiring.
80
But some combinations were a little bit unnatural, like nature, people, the TV guy.
81
That was weird.
82
He speaks very calm instead of calmly.
83
That's what we call collocational inaccuracy when words are understandable,
84
but don't naturally fit together. And then pronunciation.
85
This was sort of hard to do because of my accent.
86
I didn't want to sort of mimic a non-native.
87
It would be very varied, inaccurate and not very helpful for you, I don't think but uh yeah it could be
88
that it was mostly clear but slightly uneven rhythm and stress patterns
89
that would be the most common thing for a band five for example um he speak very calmly um
90
if i was to say it like that
91
that sounds really robotic right whereas
92
if i said he speaks very calmly he speaks very calmly it's much more flowing
93
so you'd expect that from a higher band than band five.
94
So let's think about how to improve from these points.
95
So slow down and structure ideas before you speak.
96
You can sound more fluent simply by pausing strategically rather than filling space with um or like.
97
And I think a native might pause after a so
98
quite naturally so what i think makes an inspiring person is is is how they deliver themselves blah blah
99
so i really paused after the so and after the verb to be is what i think is
100
i think that's really normal like i would i would be
101
very happy to wait for somebody to to pause at
102
that point it's it doesn't signal to me
103
that they're lacking in vocabulary it signals
104
that they're thinking in a more profound way
105
and collecting their thoughts before they want to deliver the next word of the sequence
106
that they're about to say so yeah pausing there instead of using filler words.
107
Going beyond that, you could practice high frequency collocations around familiar IELTS topics.
108
For this one, you could say something like raise awareness of environmental issues.
109
He raises the awareness or our awareness.
110
He raises our awareness of environmental issues.
111
Another one could be be passionate about protecting the planet.
112
So he is passionate about protecting the planet or maybe dedicate one's life to nature conservation.
113
Yeah.
114
So think about those kind of phrases and then in the answer,
115
you're more likely to deliver them in a more natural way in terms of collocations.
116
Now, if you're thinking, all right, Charlie, that was super helpful for this question, but what about the other part two topics I might get?
117
Well, don't worry, I've got you covered.
118

131
Okay, you ready for band seven now?
132
We're leveling up now.
133
So remember, the cue card says, describe a person who has inspired you.
134
You should say who the person is, how you know them, what qualities they have, and explain how they inspire you.
135
Okay, so let's hear what a band seven version of this answer would sound like.
136
A person who has really inspired me is Sir David Attenborough,
137
the British broadcaster and natural historian.
138
He's been creating nature documentaries for, I think, more than 60 years now.
139
And he's basically become the voice of the natural world.
140
I first came across him when I was a child.
141
My family used to watch Planet Earth
142
and Blue Planet together on on Sunday evenings
143
and even back then I remember feeling completely amazed by the way he spoke about animals and the environment.
144
He didn't just describe what was happening, he made you feel it.
145
I think that's one of the biggest talents.
146
What I admire most is his calm, patient way of explaining quite complicated ideas.
147
He never tries to sound too scientific or too emotional.
148
It's this perfect balance that keeps people listening.
149
And even though he's in his 90s now he's still working still traveling
150
and still encouraging people to care about the planet and
151
that kind of lifelong dedication really motivates me I also find it inspiring
152
that he's managed to adapt with technology and a new generations he's on Netflix he uses
153
social media clips he's constantly finding ways to reach people without losing his authenticity it shows
154
that passion doesn't have to fade with age
155
and whenever i watch his programs i end up thinking about my own choices
156
that affect the environment so he makes he makes me want to live more responsibly
157
and to find work that feels meaningful just like he does okay there we go
158
band seven done so what did you think of that um
159
if we were to break it down and think about the fluency
160
and coherence this uh this version this sounds pretty confident and
161
and keeps i kept a steady natural flow for nearly two minutes, which is exactly what examiners look for at band seven.
162
And the ideas follow the cue card really well.
163
Who is he?
164
How do you know him?
165
What are his qualities?
166
And why does he inspire you?
167
There's a clear topic development with smooth transitions first come across him or what I admire most,
168
or I also find it inspiring.
169
However, some phrasing still sounds slightly rehearsed phrases like voice of the natural world
170
and and lifelong dedication they're good but they feel a bit memorized
171
and it's tricky
172
because i imagine you might think it's a great idea to to memorize a lot of um answers
173
but i think the examiner can tell really easily like this
174
is their job every single day they're listening to these answers
175
so they will be able to cotton on to some of
176
the best actors i'm sure um they they would just be able to know whether this is rehearsed
177
or whether this is your organic vocabulary coming out in the now
178
so to reach a band eight
179
or above the delivery needs to sound a little more spontaneous with flexible rephrasing or familiar ideas.
180
I'd say there's also a mild over-structuring of every paragraph.
181
It sounds, it's almost too neat, almost like an essay.
182
A native speaker would weave ideas together more conversationally with phrases like,
183
and another thing I love about him, blah, blah, blah or you know it's funny
184
because blah blah blah let's move on to vocabulary i think
185
there was a very solid range we had documentaries environment authenticity
186
lifelong dedication complicated ideas collocations they were pretty accurate like care about the planet
187
reach people live more responsibly a few word choices are slightly textbook sounding
188
encouraging people to care or quite complicated ideas they're safe and and clear but not idiomatic
189
adding expressions like he's a national treasure
190
or he's dedicated his life to raising awareness would push this to a band eight
191
so overall electrical resource easily sits in the high
192
band seven range it was varied appropriate but but still a little bit a little bit cautious
193
moving on to grammar um there was there was strong control
194
and visible complexity there was the present perfect continuous i think he's been creating documentaries yeah um then there were
195
what's called as concessive clauses, meaning like introducing an alternative idea.
196
So he said, even though he's in his 90s, blah, blah, blah.
197
Or I can't remember if I said it.
198
I said the point and then I said the contrary thing, even though he's in his 90s.
199
But yeah, so that was quite nice.
200
And then I also think I said, who has inspired me, who's inspired me, or which I find inspiring.
201
And these are good clauses.
202
I think they're called non-defining relative clauses, but they're good.
203
They help.
204
To reach band eight and above, the speaker should be able to show that they can vary clause types.
205
Like having spent his whole life exploring the planet, he's become a symbol of curiosity and respect for nature.
206
But yeah, overall, this is a strong band seven because the speech is fluent
207
and easy to follow the vocabulary is precise
208
and appropriate the grammar is complex and mostly accurate
209
and you know depending on how I delivered it pronunciation is clear
210
and natural to push higher the speaker needs to use more idiomatic or emotional phrasing.
211
And then also vary sentence rhythm.
212
So mix short emotional statements with longer reflective ones and loosen the structure to sound more spontaneous and conversational.
213
But yeah, in short, band seven is very impressive, confident and meaningful, but it still plays things a little bit safe.
214
All right, so band five and band seven done with.
215
We're now going to go on to the gold standard, the band nine answer.
216
Again, the cue card reads, describe a person who has inspired you.
217
You should say who the person is, how you know them, what qualities they have and explain how they inspire you.
218
All right, let's load up that band nine IELTS candidate.
219
Well, I'd say the person who's inspired me most is Sir David Attenborough,
220
who to me is almost like the voice of the planet.
221
He's a British natural historian and broadcaster who's spent his entire life sharing the beauty of the natural world through documentaries.
222
I've been watching his program since I was a kid, Planet Earth, the Blue Planet,
223
Life on Earth, all of them.
224
And I remember being completely mesmerized, not just by the footage, but by the way he spoke.
225
His voice has this calm, reassuring tone that makes even the most terrifying scenes,
226
like a crocodile attack, somehow sound poetic.
227
But what I think really sets him apart is his ability to connect emotion with education.
228
He doesn't preach, He just shows you the reality and you come away feeling both amazed and responsible.
229
I think he's in his 90s now, yet he's still narrating, still campaigning for environmental change, which is just incredible.
230
And I think what inspires me most is his consistency, that quiet determination to just keep going,
231
even when the world seems a bit indifferent.
232
he's um i think he's proof
233
that passion doesn't fade with age every time i watch one of his documentaries i'm reminded
234
that one person can make an enormous difference simply by caring deeply
235
and um communicating clearly so yeah he's for me he's more than just a presenter he's
236
someone who's genuinely changed how we see our planet.
237
And that's a legacy anyone would be proud of. And scene.
238
Okay.
239
So that was band nine.
240
What did you think about that one?
241
If we look at the fluency and coherence, this answer, it flows, I would say kind of effortlessly.
242
There's a natural rhythm and smooth progression of ideas.
243
There's not really many awkward pauses, fillers, or self-corrections.
244
I sound comfortable thinking in English, not just translating it.
245
And transitions are subtle but cohesive.
246
Like I've been watching his programs since I was a kid.
247
What really sets him apart though, blah, blah, blah.
248
And another one I think I said, I think what inspires me most is that's really natural.
249
So notice how the phrasing feels conversational yet structured, like a natural story unfolding.
250
It's not a memorized speech.
251
And that's a hallmark of band nine fluency saying,
252
well, I'd say this, that tone immediately sets the whole thing off.
253
It sounds lived, casual and confident, something that native speakers do constantly.
254
When it comes to the vocabulary, pretty good, pretty bloody good, right?
255
And the precision of it.
256
The vocabulary isn't just advanced,
257
it's appropriate and expressive, like mesmerized or connect emotion with education.
258
I think I said quiet determination and legacy anyone would be proud of.
259
That phrase, it's not too fancy, but it's really natural.
260
Then the idiomatic phrasing, He doesn't preach.
261
Passion doesn't fade with age.
262
And then one person can make an enormous difference.
263
These feel really authentic and not forced.
264
I sound like I understand connotation and tone.
265
And importantly, none of it sounds like a thesaurus dump.
266
It's all in service of meaning and emotion.
267
And that's what separates a band nine from a band eight, the control and naturalness.
268
As for grammar, complex structures are used, but they're used naturally, like a relative clause,
269
like who spent his entire life sharing, blah, blah, blah.
270
Or I like the bit when I said, even when the world seems a bit indifferent.
271
That was a nice clause.
272
um we used contrastive linking he doesn't preach he just shows you the reality
273
that was quite good and then we had like um i think they're called inversions
274
and modifiers like i said so yeah for me he's he's more than just a presenter
275
and then there were i don't think there were any grammatical
276
errors no awkward phrasing uh sentence rhythm was varied there were long reflective ideas balanced with short,
277
punchy comments like, he's proof that passion doesn't fade with age.
278
That variation gives the speech melody and realism.
279
I think this is a band nine because it's effortlessly fluent, no hesitations, logical structure, engaging flow.
280
There was sophisticated yet natural vocabulary.
281
There was idiomatic usage and it was precise and expressive.
282
Advanced grammar, there was good control of it.
283
Complex forms used seamlessly.
284
And then the authentic emotional tone sounded human, not rehearsed.
285
So yeah, it doesn't sound like the user is doing an IELTS answer.
286
It sounds like someone is inspired by somebody and they're wanting to tell you why.
287
So there you have it.
288
Three different ways of describing the same person from hesitant to confident to completely natural.
289
If you found that useful, go and download the free PDF I mentioned earlier.
290
It's packed with more model answers, detailed feedback and practical exercises to help you move closer to that band nine.

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.
