Hi everyone, welcome to IELTS Time.
2
Today we're looking at the part one topic, family.
3
You'll watch two mock interviews featuring Finn and Blondie, and then we'll break down some useful vocabulary and expressions you can use in your own answers.
4
Let's get started with Finn.
5
Do you have a large family or a small family?
6
I'd say I have a fairly small family.
7
There are four of us all together, my parents, my younger sister and me.
8
Most of my relatives live in different cities, so growing up it was usually just the four of us at home.
9
Who do you get on best with in your family?
10
Why?
11
I'd probably say my sister.
12
Even though she's a couple of years younger than me, we have a lot in common.
13
We both enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and talking about random things, so it's easy to spend time together.
14
We rarely argue, which is a bonus.
15
How much time do you usually spend with your family?
16
Since I'm at university, I don't spend as much time with them as I used to.
17
During the week, I usually just give my parents a quick call in the evening.
18
If I'm home for the weekend or during the holidays, we have dinner together every day and catch up properly.
19
What do you usually do together as a family?
20
Nothing too fancy, to be honest.
21
We normally have dinner together, watch a film on Friday nights, or go out for lunch at the weekend.
22
Sometimes we also go for a walk in a nearby park if the weather's nice.
23
I think it's those simple moments that bring us closer.
24
Do all of your family members live in the same house?
25
Not anymore.
26
My parents and sister still live together, but I live in student accommodation near my university.
27
I go back home whenever I have a break from university, so I still get to see them quite often.
28
Do you have a large extended family?
29
Yes, I'd say I do.
30
I have quite a few aunts, uncles, and cousins on both sides of the family.
31
We don't see each other very often because we live quite far apart, but we usually get together during major holidays or family celebrations.
32
Do you get on well with your family?
33
Why or why not?
34
Yes, I do.
35
We're very supportive of one another, and I know I can always rely on them if I have a problem.
36
Of course, we don't agree on everything, especially when it comes to small everyday issues, but we always manage to talk things through instead of holding grudges.
37
Why is family important to you?
38
For me, family is important because they're the people who know me best and support me no matter what.
39
Whenever I'm feeling stressed about university or uncertain about something, they're always there to encourage me and give me honest advice.
40
Knowing I have that kind of support gives me a lot of confidence.
41
That brings us to the end of Finn's interview.
42
Next, let's hear from Blondie answering the same set of questions from the perspective of a working professional.
43
Do you have a large family or a small family?
44
I come from quite a small family.
45
It's just my parents, my younger brother and me.
46
Even though I've moved out and live on my own now, we've always been very close, so the distance hasn't really changed our relationship.
47
Who do you get on best with in your family?
48
Why?
49
I'd probably say my dad.
50
We've always had a really good relationship and that's only grown stronger over the years.
51
We have similar interests, especially when it comes to sports and current affairs, so we can chat for hours without running out of things to talk about.
52
He's also the person I usually turn to when I need practical advice, because he always has a calm, sensible way of looking at things.
53
How much time do you usually spend with your family?
54
Since I work full-time and have my own place, I don't get to see them as often as I used to.
55
I usually go back home every couple of weeks and spend the weekend with them.
56
We also keep in touch almost every day through our family group chat, so we never really lose touch.
57
What do you usually do together as a family?
58
When we're all together, we usually cook a big dinner and catch up over a long meal.
59
If the weather's nice, we'll go for a walk or stop by a local cafe for a coffee.
60
Nothing too exciting, but it's a great way for us to relax and spend some quality time together.
61
Do all of your family members live in the same house?
62
No, not anymore.
63
My parents and my brother still live in my childhood home, but I moved out a couple of years ago to be closer to work.
64
Living on my own has taught me to be more independent, but I still enjoy going home whenever I get the chance.
65
Do you have a large extended family?
66
Yes, I do.
67
My mum is one of six siblings, so I have quite a few aunts, uncles and cousins.
68
We don't all see each other very often because everyone lives in different places, but whenever we get together for holidays or family celebrations, it's always lively and a lot of fun.
69
Do you get on well with your family?
70
Why or why not?
71
Yes, I do.
72
In fact, I think we get on even better now that I'm living independently.
73
Having a bit of space has made us appreciate the time we spend together more, and we all respect each other's opinions.
74
We still tease one another from time to time, but it's all in good fun, and I genuinely enjoy being around them.
75
Why is family important to you?
76
To me, family is my biggest support system.
77
Living on my own and building my career can be stressful at times,
78
so it's reassuring to know there's always someone I can turn to for advice or encouragement.
79
No matter what's going on in my life, they're always there for me.
80
And that gives me a real sense of security.
81
That brings us to the end of Blondie's interview.
82
Throughout these answers, we heard a range of natural expressions for talking about family relationships communication and personal experiences.
83
Let's take a closer look at some of these phrases
84
and explore how you can use them naturally in your own speaking answers.
85
Have a lot in common.
86
This expression means that two people share similar interests, experiences, opinions or personality traits.
87
We use this phrase when explaining why we have a good relationship with someone.
88
It is It is especially useful for IELTS questions about family, friends, relationships or people you admire.
89
For example, you could say, I get on really well with my cousin because we have a lot in common.
90
We both enjoy travelling and trying different types of food.
91
You could also use it when describing differences between people.
92
Although my brother and I have different personalities, we still have a lot in common, especially our sense of humour.
93
This phrase is useful because it helps you explain why you are close to someone, instead of simply saying, we have a good relationship.
94
Catch up.
95
When you catch up with someone, you talk to them and find out what's been happening in their life, especially when you haven't seen each other for a while.
96
It's a very natural expression for talking about family and friends, particularly when you don't see them regularly.
97
For example, you could say, I usually call my parents at the weekend so we can catch up.
98
You could also use it when talking about meeting an old friend.
99
We hadn't seen each other for months so we spent the afternoon catching up.
100
Talk things through.
101
This expression means discussing a problem or disagreement calmly in order to find a solution.
102
It is a useful phrase because it shows that someone deals with problems in a mature and positive way.
103
You might use it when answering questions about relationships, disagreements, teamwork or communication.
104
For example, you could say My family members don't always agree with each other, but we usually talk things through and find a solution.
105
You could also use it in a workplace context.
106
If there is a misunderstanding between colleagues, it's better to talk things through rather than ignore the problem.
107
This phrase is more natural than simply saying solve the problem because it focuses on the communication process.
108
Hold grudges.
109
To hold a grudge means to continue feeling angry or upset with someone because of something that happened in the past.
110
This is a useful expression because it describes a long lasting negative feeling.
111
A common way to use this phrase is when talking about relationships and conflicts.
112
For example, you could say, I sometimes disagree with my family members, but we don't usually hold grudges.
113
You could also use it when describing your personality.
114
I try not to hold grudges because I think it's better to forgive people and move on.
115
This is more precise than simply saying stay angry because it suggests that the negative feeling continues over time.
116
Tease one another To tease someone means to make jokes about them or make playful comments, usually in a friendly way.
117
This expression is useful for describing close relationships because people often tease the people they feel comfortable with.
118
For example, you could say, my brother and I often tease each other, but we know it's just a bit of fun.
119
You could also use it when talking about friendships.
120
My friends always tease me about being late, but I don't take it seriously.
121
Remember that teasing can be positive or negative, depending on the situation.
122
So make sure the context shows that it is friendly.
123
Live quite far apart.
124
This means that two people or groups of people live in different places, with a significant distance between them.
125
It's particularly useful when you want to explain why you don't see someone very often.
126
For example, you could say, Most of my relatives live quite far apart, so we don't get to see each other very often.
127
You could also use it when talking about a friend.
128
My best friend and I live quite far apart now, but we still keep in touch regularly.
129
Notice that far apart focuses on the distance between people or places.
130
So instead of simply saying, my relatives live in different cities, you can say, my relatives live quite far apart when the distance itself is important.
131
Turn to someone for advice.
132
This means asking someone for help, guidance or an opinion when you have a problem or need to make a decision.
133
You could say, I usually turn to my parents for advice because they have more life experience than me.
134
You could also use it in other situations.
135
When I have an important decision to make, I usually turn to my closest friends for advice.
136
This is a great alternative to basic phrases like ask someone for help.
137
Alright, that's it for today's lesson.
138
Try answering these questions on your own and see which of these expressions you can use naturally in your answers.

Sobre esta aula
Nesta aula, você vai praticar conversação em inglês focada no tema "família", um tópico comum na parte 1 do IELTS Speaking. Através de diálogos reais de entrevistas simuladas, você aprenderá a responder perguntas como "Você tem uma família grande ou pequena?" e "Com quem você se dá melhor na família?", usando expressões naturais e adequadas. Além de expandir seu vocabulário, você também vai treinar a fluência e a pronúncia com dicas práticas de shadow speak.
Vocabulário e expressões-chave
- Get on well with: Se dar bem com. Exemplo: "I get on well with my sister because we have a lot in common."
- Catch up: Falar sobre as novidades. Exemplo: "When I go home, we have dinner and catch up properly."
- Hold grudges: Guardar rancor. Exemplo: "We never hold grudges; we always talk things through."
- Extended family: Família estendida (tios, tias, primos). Exemplo: "I have a large extended family, but we live far apart."
- Supportive: Apoiador. Exemplo: "My family is very supportive; they always encourage me."
Dicas de prática
Para melhorar sua pronúncia e fluência, use a técnica de shadow speak (imitar a fala) com o vídeo. O ritmo das entrevistas é moderado e o tom é conversacional, perfeito para iniciantes e intermediários. Siga estes passos: 1. Assista um trecho curto (5-10 segundos) e repita imediatamente, copiando a entonação e a velocidade. 2. Foque em frases como "I don't spend as much time with them as I used to" para treinar a conexão entre palavras. 3. Grave sua voz e compare com o original para ajustar detalhes. Essa prática ajuda a se sentir mais confortável ao falar em situações reais, como o IELTS. Lembre: a chave é a consistência – 10 minutos por dia são mais eficazes do que uma hora uma vez por semana!
Aprender inglês com YouTube é uma forma divertida e eficaz, e com exercícios de shadow speech, você vai ver progressos rápidos na sua conversação. Use os diálogos como modelo para criar suas próprias respostas sobre sua família, e não se preocupe em errar – a prática é o segredo!

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.
