12
Now, in part one of the test,
13
I'm going to ask you some questions about yourself.
14
First, do you work or are you a student?
15
I'm a student.
16
What are you studying?
17
I'm studying engineering.
18
Why did you choose to study this subject?
19
I don't really know.
20
My parents thought it would be a good thing for me to study and I did well at mathematics at high school.
21
So I thought it might be interesting.
22
It's okay, I guess.
23
Have you made many friends on the course?
24
Yes, yes I have.
25
There are some great guys on my course.
26
Sometimes we get together and study after class and drink coffee,
27
chat, that kind of thing.
28
Let's talk about keeping fit and healthy now.
29
What do you do to stay healthy?
30
Well, I try to watch my diet.
31
I try to eat healthy foods,
32
you know, fruit, vegetables, but I really love meat too.
33
I think my diet is pretty good.
34
Do you do any exercise?
35
Yeah, sure, from time to time.
36
What kind?
37
Well, I try to go to the gym once
38
or twice a week and I like going for walks in the evening when it's a bit cooler.
39
How active were you when you were a child?
40
Oh, very active, yes.
41
I was always playing with my brothers,
42
fighting, wrestling, playing games, you know.
43
How important is it for children to be active?
44
Oh, very important.
45
Nowadays kids just play video games all day.
46
They don't get enough exercise in my opinion.
47
They're just couch potatoes.
48
Now, let's talk about the weather.
49
What kind of weather do you like best?
50
Rainy weather, definitely.
51
Why?
52
Oh, because it rarely rains in my region,
53
so when it does, everyone is really happy.
54
And it cools down the temperature too.
55
Have you noticed any changes in the weather recently in your country?
56
Any changes?
57
Like climate change?
58
Oh, well, I guess it's changed a little.
59
People say it's hotter than it used to be,
60
but I'm not really sure if that's true.
61
What do you like to do in winter?
62
Well, the winter in my country is quite short.
63
It's nice to get outside and go for a walk.
64
You can in winter because it's not so hot.
65
I sometimes go horse riding too.
66
I belong to a club and I go there a bit at weekends.
67
That's really fun.
68
Thank you.
69
That brings us to the end of part one.
70
Now, Faris, I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes.
71
Before you begin, you have one minute to think about what you want to say.
72
You can make some notes if you wish.
73
Do you understand?
74
Yes.
75
Okay, you can make some notes on this paper.
76
Here is your topic.
77
I'd like you to talk about a building that you like.
78
Thank you.
79
All right.
80
Now, remember you have one to two minutes for this,
81
so don't worry if I interrupt you.
82
I'll tell you when the time is up.
83
You can begin now.
84
Okay, I'm going to tell you about a building I know quite well and I really like it actually.
85
Actually it's in my hometown Abu Dhabi and the name of this building is the Capitol Gate building.
86
It's quite a new building,
87
only a few years old,
88
but already it has become an important landmark because it's really unusual in its appearance.
89
The first thing you notice is that it leans over to one side.
90
It's like the building in Italy,
91
the leaning tower of Pisa.
92
Only that building is leaning because it's too old.
93
This one is leaning because it was the architect's design.
94
Actually, it's very strange.
95
It's a skyscraper.
96
It's very modern looking, really cutting edge design.
97
It doesn't really have any sharp corners.
98
It has lots of curves and it is all glass on the outside.
99
Okay, moving on to what it's used for.
100
Well, there is a hotel inside and maybe some apartments too.
101
And I think there are some offices as well,
102
but I'm not exactly sure.
103
Finally, the reason why I like it is,
104
well, I guess it's because it's unique.
105
It's special.
106
Also, I'm interested in architecture, especially modern architecture.
107
And I'm quite fascinated by how the building stays up.
108
I mean, it doesn't fall down.
109
I think it's because the building has a steel frame.
110
And I heard it also has very deep foundations.
111
So, if you visit my city,
112
I'd recommend that you see this building.
113
That's all, actually.
114
Thank you.
115
Do other people like this building?
116
Yes, everyone likes it.
117
It's a real landmark of the city now.
118
Thank you.
119
Can I have the task card and the paper and pencil, please?
120
Yes, sure.
121
Here you go.
122
Thank you.
123
So, we've been talking about a building you like,
124
and I'd like to discuss with you one or two more general questions related to this.
125
First of all, let's consider traditional and modern buildings.
126
Do you think it's important for the government to preserve traditional buildings,
127
or should Should the money be spent on essential services such as hospitals and schools?
128
That's a tricky question to answer.
129
Which one is more important?
130
Well, I'd have to say both.
131
First of all, of course,
132
the government should try to maintain traditional buildings.
133
They are our heritage and they connect us to a past in a way
134
that looking at a photo in a book cannot.
135
Personally I don't enjoy looking around old buildings such as castles
136
but I know in some countries tourists flock to these type of buildings
137
so I can imagine that many people in those countries want to see them preserved.
138
But on the other hand,
139
we shouldn't be spending so much money on them that we have poor health and education service.
140
Educating our children and treating sick people has to be a priority too.
141
And is it possible for a government to fund all of these things?
142
Can I just check what you mean by fund?
143
Is that pay for?
144
Yes, pay for.
145
Can a government pay for all of these things?
146
I suppose it depends on the country.
147
My country is fairly wealthy,
148
so yes, I think it can afford public services and money for preservation.
149
But in poorer countries, I can imagine that the majority of people there would want better schools and good hospitals.
150
Many people like living in modern buildings.
151
Why do you think that is?
152
Well, I think I am one of them.
153
Living in a modern home is much easier on the whole, I think.
154
You don't have to worry about,
155
what's the word, you know,
156
fixing them up all the time.
157
Oh, renovating.
158
That's it.
159
You don't have to renovate new homes.
160
They're in perfect condition.
161
and this probably saves a lot of money.
162
I imagine repairing and maintaining a home is very costly.
163
And another reason, of course,
164
is that modern homes have all the mod cons, you know, modern conveniences.
165
And I think most people these days are looking for ways to save time.
166
What do you think homes of the future will look like?
167
Homes in the future?
168
That's a good question.
169
Let me see.
170
If you mean 10 or 20 years from now,
171
I don't think they will be that different to what we have now.
172
But perhaps 50 years from now,
173
I think it's likely that we'll see some changes.
174
I think cities will get denser than they are now,
175
I mean, there'll be more people living in the same area.
176
To cope with this, I think homes will get smaller and perhaps taller in order to fit more people in.
177
In the major cities in my country, this has already happened.
178
But 50 years from now,
179
I think most cities and towns will be the same, very dense.
180
Well, thank you very much.
181
That's the end of the speaking test.
182
Thank you.
183
Thank you.

О данном уроке

В этом уроке вы будете практиковать английский язык, основываясь на примере устного экзамена IELTS. Вы услышите, как кандидат отвечает на вопросы о своей учебе, здоровом образе жизни и погоде. Эта практика поможет вам улучшить произношение английского и уверенность в разговорной речи. При выполнении заданий вы можете использовать метод shadow speak, чтобы максимально эффективно усвоить материал. Кроме того, вы развиете навык слушания и улучшите свою способность формулировать ответы на типичные вопросы экзамена.

Ключевая лексика и фразы

  • I'm a student - Я студент.
  • What do you do to stay healthy? - Что вы делаете, чтобы оставаться здоровым?
  • I try to watch my diet - Я стараюсь контролировать свой рацион.
  • I like going for walks - Мне нравится гулять.
  • Couch potatoes - Ленивая жизнь (ленивцы).
  • Rainy weather - Дождливая погода.

Советы по практике

Для эффективной практики используйте метод shadowing. Прослушивайте фрагменты разговора из видео и повторяйте их с намерением imitировать интонацию и скорость речи. Экзаменатор говорит в достаточно спокойном и уравновешенном темпе, что подходит для начинающих. Сфокусируйтесь на произношении ключевых слов и фраз, таких как I'm a student и What do you do to stay healthy?. Не торопитесь, старайтесь произносить слова четко и в унисон с аудио, это поможет вам улучшить произношение английского. Вы также можете записывать себя, а затем сравнивать свое произношение с оригиналом, чтобы лучше понимать свои сильные и слабые стороны. Применение shadowspeaks позволит вам заметно улучшить ваши навыки устной речи.

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.
