Hello and welcome back to English Conversation Journal.
2
Hi everyone.
3
We're so excited you're here with us today.
4
I'm Sarah.
5
And I'm Mike.
6
So Mike, how are you today?
7
I'm doing really well, Sarah.
8
I've been helping a friend prepare for his IELTS exam,
9
so I'm excited about today's topic.
10
How about you?
11
Oh, I'm great.
12
I remember taking the IELTS test years ago.
13
It was nerve-wracking, but also exciting.
14
I'm looking forward to sharing tips with our viewers.
15
Perfect.
16
Before we start, if you enjoy learning English with us,
17
please give this video a like and subscribe to our channel for more helpful English content.
18
Yes, your support means everything to us.
19
Alright, let's get started.
20
Today we're going to talk about something very important for many of our viewers.
21
the IELTS Speaking Test.
22
Yes, the IELTS Speaking Interview can be intimidating,
23
but with the right preparation and practice,
24
you can do really well.
25
Exactly.
26
So today, we'll explain how the IELTS Speaking Test works,
27
practice some sample questions, and give you tips to improve your score.
28
Let's start with the basics.
29
Sarah, can you explain what the IELTS Speaking Test is?
30
Sure.
31
IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System.
32
It's an exam that tests your English level,
33
and many universities and immigration offices require it.
34
The Speaking Test is one of four sections.
35
The others are Listening, Reading, and Writing.
36
Right.
37
And the Speaking Test is special because it's a face-to-face interview with an examiner.
38
It lasts about 11 to 14 minutes.
39
Exactly.
40
It's divided into three parts.
41
Part one is general questions about yourself,
42
your home, family, work, studies, and interests.
43
It lasts about four to five minutes.
44
Part two is called the long turn.
45
The examiner gives you a topic card,
46
and you have to speak for one to two minutes about that topic.
47
You get one minute to prepare.
48
And Part 3 is a discussion.
49
The examiner asks more abstract,
50
analytical questions related to the Part 2 topic.
51
This part lasts 4 to 5 minutes.
52
So, in total, about 11 to 14 minutes.
53
And they test different speaking skills – fluency, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
54
Exactly.
55
Now, let's practice each part.
56
Mike, why don't you be the examiner and I'll be the candidate.
57
Great idea.
58
Let's start with part one.
59
Remember, part one is about you,
60
your life, your interests, easy questions to help you relax.
61
I'm ready.
62
Good morning.
63
My name is Mike and I'll be your examiner today.
64
Can you tell me your full name, please?
65
Good morning.
66
My full name is Sarah Elizabeth Martinez.
67
Thank you.
68
Can I see your identification?
69
Yes, of course.
70
Here it is.
71
Thank you.
72
Now, in this first part,
73
I'd like to ask you some questions about yourself.
74
Let's talk about your hometown.
75
Where are you from?
76
I'm from a small city called Riverside.
77
It's located in the southern part of my country,
78
about two hours from the capital.
79
What do you like most about your hometown?
80
What I like most is the sense of community.
81
It's a small city, so everyone knows each other.
82
People are very friendly and helpful.
83
Also, we have beautiful parks and a river running through the city center,
84
which makes it very peaceful and scenic.
85
Has your hometown changed much since you were a child?
86
Yes, it has changed quite a bit.
87
When I was young, there were mostly small shops and local businesses.
88
Now we have several shopping malls,
89
modern restaurants, and better public transportation.
90
The city has become more developed,
91
but it still maintains its friendly, small-town atmosphere.
92
Let's talk about what you do.
93
Do you work, or are you a student?
94
I'm currently working.
95
I'm a teacher at a language school,
96
where I teach English to teenagers and adults.
97
Why did you choose this job?
98
I chose teaching because I'm passionate about education and helping others.
99
I love seeing my students improve and gain confidence in their English abilities.
100
It's very rewarding when a student tells me they achieved their goals because of what they learned in my class.
101
Do you enjoy your job?
102
Yes, I really do.
103
Of Of course, it can be challenging sometimes.
104
Some students are shy or unmotivated.
105
But overall, it's very fulfilling.
106
I enjoy the interaction with different people and the variety in my daily work.
107
No two days are the same.
108
Now let's talk about hobbies.
109
What do you like to do in your free time?
110
In my free time, I enjoy reading books,
111
especially fiction and mystery novels.
112
I also love cooking and trying new recipes from different cultures.
113
On weekends, I often go hiking in the nearby mountains.
114
It's a great way to exercise and enjoy nature.
115
How long have you been interested in hiking?
116
I've been hiking for about five years now.
117
I started when a friend invited me on a hiking trip,
118
and I immediately fell in love with it.
119
the fresh air, the beautiful views,
120
and the physical challenge, it's become one of my favorite activities.
121
Okay, let's stop there.
122
Sarah, that was excellent part one practice.
123
Now let's explain what you did well.
124
Thank you!
125
So for viewers, notice that I gave detailed answers.
126
I didn't just say, I'm from Riverside.
127
I added information about where it's located and what makes it special.
128
Exactly.
129
In part one, don't give one word or very short answers.
130
Expand your answers with details, examples, and reasons.
131
This shows the examiner you can communicate effectively.
132
Also, use a variety of tenses.
133
I used present simple, I'm a teacher,
134
past simple, I started hiking five years ago,
135
and present perfect, I've been hiking for about five years.
136
Great point.
137
Using different tenses correctly shows grammatical range.
138
Also, Sarah used great vocabulary like sense of community,
139
scenic, fulfilling, and fell in love with it.
140
Now let's move to part two, the long turn.
141
This is where you speak for one to two minutes about a topic.
142
Right.
143
The examiner will give you a task card with a topic and some points to cover.
144
You have one minute to prepare and make notes.
145
Then you speak for up to two minutes.
146
Let me be the examiner now.
147
Mike, here's your topic card.
148
You have one minute to prepare.
149
Okay, I'm ready.
150
Here's your topic.
151
Describe a memorable vacation you took.
152
You should say where you went,
153
who you went with, what you did there,
154
and explain why it was memorable.
155
Alright, I'm thinking.
156
Okay, I'm ready to speak.
157
Please begin.
158
I'd like to talk about a memorable vacation I took to Italy last year.
159
It was a trip I'd been planning for months,
160
and it exceeded all my expectations.
161
I went to three cities,
162
Rome, Florence, and Venice, and I traveled with my best friend from university.
163
We'd always talked about visiting Italy together,
164
so finally making it happen was exciting.
165
In Rome, we visited all the famous historical sites.
166
We saw the Colosseum, which was absolutely breathtaking.
167
Standing in front of this 2,000-year-old structure,
168
imagining the gladiator battles that took place there, was surreal.
169
We also visited the Vatican and saw the Sistine Chapel.
170
Michelangelo's artwork on the ceiling was stunning.
171
In Florence, we focused on art and culture.
172
We spent an entire day at the Uffizi Gallery, admiring Renaissance paintings.
173
We also climbed to the top of the Duomo Cathedral,
174
which gave us an incredible panoramic view of the entire city.
175
Venice was magical.
176
We took a gondola ride through the canals at sunset,
177
and the whole experience felt like stepping into a different world.
178
The architecture, the water, the romantic atmosphere.
179
It was unforgettable.
180
This vacation was memorable for several reasons.
181
First, it was my first trip to Europe,
182
so everything felt new and exciting.
183
Second, sharing this experience with my close friend made it even more special.
184
We created memories we still talk about today.
185
And finally, immersing myself in Italian culture,
186
trying authentic Italian food, and experiencing the incredible history and art left a lasting impact on me.
187
It inspired me to travel more and learn about different cultures.
188
Thank you.
189
That was great.
190
See how Mike structured his answer?
191
He addressed all the points on the card.
192
Yes.
193
I said where I went, Italy, three cities.
194
Who I went with, my best friend.
195
What I did, visited historical sites,
196
museums, took a gondola ride,
197
and why it was memorable.
198
First trip to Europe, special friendship, cultural immersion.
199
Exactly.
200
And you spoke for about two minutes, which is perfect.
201
You organized your ideas logically,
202
moving from one city to the next.
203
Also, I used descriptive vocabulary like breathtaking,
204
surreal, stunning, magical, and unforgettable.
205
This makes the description more vivid and interesting.
206
Great point!
207
And you connected ideas smoothly with phrases like first, second, and finally.
208
This helps the examiner follow your thoughts easily.
209
Now for Part 3, the discussion.
210
This is the most challenging part because the questions are more abstract and require deeper thinking.
211
Right.
212
The examiner will ask questions related to your Part 2 topic,
213
but more general and analytical.
214
Let me continue as the examiner.
215
Okay, I'm ready.
216
We've been talking about travel.
217
Let's consider some broader questions.
218
Why do you think people enjoy traveling?
219
That's an interesting question.
220
I think people enjoy traveling for various reasons.
221
First and foremost, travel offers an escape from daily routine.
222
When you're in a new place,
223
you're completely focused on the present moment,
224
exploring, discovering, experiencing new things.
225
This break from routine is refreshing and rejuvenating.
226
Secondly, travel broadens our perspective.
227
When we visit different countries and cultures,
228
we realize that there are many ways to live,
229
think, and see the world.
230
This can make us more open-minded and empathetic.
231
Additionally, many people travel to create memories and experiences.
232
In our modern society, people often value experiences over material possessions.
233
A vacation creates lasting memories that you can cherish forever.
234
How has tourism changed in recent years?
235
Tourism has changed dramatically, especially with technology and globalization.
236
One major change is accessibility.
237
Budget airlines and online booking platforms have made travel much more affordable and convenient.
238
People who couldn't afford international travel before can now explore the world.
239
Social media has also transformed tourism.
240
People share their travel experiences online,
241
which inspires others to visit the same destinations.
242
However, this has led to over-tourism in popular places.
243
Sites become too crowded, which can damage both the environment and the local culture.
244
Another significant change is sustainable tourism.
245
People are becoming more aware of their environmental impact,
246
so there's growing interest in eco-friendly travel,
247
supporting local communities, and minimizing carbon footprints.
248
Do you think traveling makes people more understanding of other cultures?
249
Generally, yes, I believe it does.
250
When you physically visit a place and interact with local people,
251
with local people, you gain first-hand experience of their way of life.
252
You see beyond stereotypes and media representations.
253
You taste their food, hear their language, observe their customs.
254
This creates genuine understanding and appreciation.
255
However, I should add that it depends on how you travel.
256
If you stay in tourist resorts and never interact with locals,
257
you might not gain much cultural understanding.
258
But if you immerse yourself,
259
try to speak the language,
260
eat local food, visit non-touristy areas,
261
then yes, travel definitely broadens your cultural awareness and makes you more understanding and tolerant.
262
Excellent!
263
That's perfect Part 3 practice.
264
Notice how Mike gave detailed, well-developed answers?
265
Yes.
266
In Part 3, you need to analyze,
267
explain causes and effects, compare things,
268
and give opinions with reasons.
269
It's not enough to just state your opinion.
270
You must support it with explanations and examples.
271
Exactly.
272
And Mike used great linking phrases like,
273
first and foremost, secondly, additionally, however, and generally.
274
These phrases help organize your ideas and show the examiner you can communicate complex thoughts clearly.
275
Now, let's give our viewers some practical tips for success in the IELTS Speaking Test.
276
Tip number one, don't memorize answers.
277
Examiners can tell when you're reciting memorized speeches.
278
Instead, prepare ideas and vocabulary for common topics, but speak naturally.
279
Tip number two, extend your answers.
280
Don't give short, one-sentence answers.
281
Add details, examples, and explanations.
282
Aim for three to four sentences minimum for part one questions.
283
Tip number three.
284
Use a variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures.
285
Don't just use simple words and basic grammar.
286
Show your range.
287
Tip number four.
288
Speak clearly and at a natural pace.
289
Don't speak too fast.
290
You'll make more mistakes.
291
And don't speak too slowly.
292
You'll sound unnatural.
293
Tip number five.
294
Don't panic if you make a mistake.
295
Everyone makes mistakes.
296
If you catch it, quickly correct yourself and continue.
297
The examiner is assessing overall communication, not perfection.
298
Tip number six.
299
Practice speaking English regularly.
300
Find a language partner, record yourself,
301
or join online speaking groups.
302
The more you practice, the more confident you'll become.
303
Tip number seven.
304
Learn to paraphrase.
305
If you don't know a specific word,
306
explain it in other words.
307
For example, if you can't remember inflation,
308
you might say, when prices go up and money loses value.
309
Excellent tip!
310
And finally, tip number 8, be yourself.
311
The examiner wants to hear your genuine thoughts and opinions.
312
Don't try to give answers you think they want to hear.
313
Be honest and authentic.
314
Great advice!
315
Now let's summarize the IELTS speaking test structure.
316
Part 1.
317
Four to five minutes of general questions about yourself, home, work, studies, hobbies.
318
Part 2.
319
One minute to prepare, then speak for one to two minutes about a specific topic on a task card.
320
Part 3.
321
Four to five minutes of discussion with more abstract,
322
analytical questions related to Part 2.
323
The test assesses four criteria.
324
Fluency and coherence, lexical resource,
325
vocabulary, grammatical range and accuracy, and pronunciation.
326
Now it's time for our question of the day.
327
Today's question is, are you preparing for IELTS or another English exam?
328
What's the most challenging part for you?
329
Share in the comments.
330
Maybe speaking fluently is difficult for you.
331
Maybe you struggle with vocabulary.
332
Maybe you get nervous during interviews.
333
We read all your comments,
334
and we'd love to hear about your experiences and challenges.
335
Before we go, remember, preparation is key.
336
Practice regularly, study common topics,
337
and work on your confidence.
338
You can do this.
339
With hard work and the right strategies,
340
you'll achieve the score you need.

В этом выпуске «Журнала английских разговоров» Сара и Майк обсуждают важную тему — тест по говорению IELTS. Это тест, который проверяет уровень владения английским языком и необходим многим университетам и иммиграционным службам. Модуль Speaking включает в себя личное интервью с экзаменатором, что делает его уникальным среди других частей теста. Сара и Майк делятся своим опытом и дают советы, которые помогут успеху в этом испытании. Они также предлагают практические вопросы и стратегии для улучшения вашего балла на Speaking Test.
Топ-5 фраз для повседневного общения
- “Я готов помочь другу подготовиться к экзамену IELTS.” — Используйте эту фразу, чтобы показать поддержку.
- “Это было волнительно, но также и захватывающе.” — Поделитесь своими эмоциями о презентации или тестировании.
- “Я с нетерпением жду возможности поделиться советами.” — Эту фразу можно использовать, когда вы хотите выразить желание помочь другим.
- “Сегодня мы обсудим что-то очень важное.” — Хороший способ начать разговор о важной теме.
- “Это личное интервью длится около 11-14 минут.” — Упоминание таких деталей полезно для информирования собеседника.
Пошаговое руководство по шэдов-говорению
Чтобы овладеть навыками говорения, послушайте видео с Сарой и Майком и попробуйте применить метод shadow speak. Вот несколько шагов, которые помогут вам в этом процессе:
- Слушайте внимательно: Погрузитесь в разговор между Сара и Майком. Обратите внимание на их интонацию, произношение и темп.
- Повторяйте за собеседниками: После того как услышите фразу, попробуйте произнести ее в том же темпе. Используйте технику shadowspeaks, чтобы улучшить ваше произношение.
- Изучайте структуру: Обратите внимание на структуру предложений и используемые словосочетания, чтобы улучшить свою разговорную речь.
- Регулярная практика: Занимайтесь шэдов-говорением регулярно. Чем больше вы будете практиковать, тем увереннее будете чувствовать себя в разговоре.
- Записывайте себя: Слушайте свои записи, чтобы определить области, требующие улучшения. Это поможет вам объективно видеть свой прогресс.
Используйте это руководство на нашем сайте, чтобы создать свою собственную практику shadowing английский и улучшить свои навыки общения.
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
