So let's start off by talking about the weather.

Can you describe the weather today?

The weather today is so nice.

It's winter, yet it's still summer,

but the temperature is acceptable.

You can have like a light jacket.

During the day you can go to the beach.

So for me it's the perfect weather.

What's your favorite kind of weather?

Summer.

I like summer.

I like going to the beach,

spending time with the family outside, exploring.

Is there any type of weather you really don't like?

I like winter, but I don't like to be in a place where it's like minus 20 degrees.

I like to go outside,

not to be stuck at home.

Let's talk about photography.

Do you like taking photos?

So much.

I took a course at the university,

a photography course, and I had like 19 over 20.

It's my passion.

And I have my own camera, my own lenses.

I like it.

Do you like to shoot people or landscapes?

Babies, mainly.

You can play with the display.

You can play with everything.

Like it's, I don't know, I like it.

What do you think it takes to become a great photographer?

A good eye and to know how to capture the moment.

You have to have it.

Otherwise you will like wait for the, yeah, take a pose.

No, don't wait for this person to take a pose just follow the person and capture the moment.

Now let's talk about animals.

Do you like animals?

So much, especially dogs.

I had dogs in my life,

but my main issue was my mom.

So because she used to have allergy,

I used to take them back to my grandma.

At that time, I felt like I have a baby at home,

taking the dog for a haircut to the doctor.

I treat the dog like a baby.

Do you think that animals should be kept in zoos?

Definitely not.

It's not their place.

We created the zoo.

So no. It's their freedom.

You cannot put them in a cage where they have to sit there.

Or the birds.

It's not their place.

Their place is the sky,

is the forest, not the zoo.

Do you have any animals in your home as pets?

No, no. I used to have dogs,

but now no, because of the weather here.

I feel it's difficult to have a dog at home,

to take the dog outside for a walk in like 50 degrees.

So no, I would love to have, but no, not here.

Now let's talk about colors.

In your country, what are the most popular colors?

I can tell you about the color of the flag.

You know we don't have a specific color in the country.

The color of the flag is red, white and green.

My favorite color is black so I don't know.

We don't have a specific color in the country.

Do you prefer to wear dark colors or light colors?

Recently both.

Before I used to like dark colors more.

Maybe when I lost weight I switched to bright and light colors.

Do colors affect your mood?

Definitely.

If you live in a dark room,

you will feel like everything is dark.

That's why I like to have white walls, everything white.

You feel the house is bright and it reflects on you.

So I'll describe the house of my grandma.

So who lives there?

My grandma lives there.

And my grandpa used to live there.

Where the property is, it's in the mountain in Beirut, in Lebanon.

What it looks like?

It looks like a castle for me.

It's not a castle but for me it's like a castle.

We have a lot of memories there.

That's why I decided to talk about this house.

If you like it definitely I do.

I like this house as I mentioned because it reminds me of my childhood

and the best days we spent there and we're still spending when we go to see her.

We have a lot of memories we had good food she

used to cook a lot for us the house is simply like I feel like home I just love it

and especially

because it's an old house it's still the same till now

the second I enter the house I feel like I'm back to my childhood the memories comes back

so yeah as I told you it's a big and old house.

You know, the old houses you have the,

how we say it, the walls are like,

100

you feel like you're in a castle, but it's a house.

101

The smell of the nature, the garden, everything.

102

I like everything in this house.

103

So we've been talking about a house that you like,

104

and we're gonna continue to talk about houses.

105

Do you think it's better for people to live in an apartment or a house?

106

107

I want to give you a free course that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score.

111

all you have to do is just click the link in the description.

112

Thanks very much and let's get back to the video.

113

For me it's better to live in a villa than in an apartment

114

because when you have babies one he will wake up he will wake up the other one

115

so it's easier to live in a villa and or in a duplex to separate.

116

Do you think it's better for someone to buy a house or to rent?

117

It depends.

118

If the prices are high like now,

119

it's better to wait because they will go down.

120

So wait until you find the right time to buy.

121

But definitely, yes, I'm with the buying.

122

I'm not with the renting thing.

123

I feel like I'm losing my money.

124

Do you think that there is a certain age

125

when someone should move out of their parents' home and move into their own home?

126

For me it's like when I got married I moved.

127

We don't have this in Beirut like at the age of 18 we have to move

128

or we have to have our own apartment.

129

No, at the contrary I enjoy spending time with them.

130

So what I'm going to do now is give you some feedback.

131

We did one before and you've come back.

132

To thank you for making it this far in the video,

133

146

147

Your grammar is good.

148

Your vocabulary is good.

149

Your pronunciation is good.

150

We really focused on coherence and fluency in the last one.

151

Overall, your fluency and coherence was quite good.

152

At times you were searching for the correct word and that affected your line of thinking and you would maybe avoid that.

153

I think, again, you should not be afraid to paraphrase and explain the thing and say,

154

I don't know the word for this,

155

but explain what it is.

156

I think because you live in the Middle East,

157

you can often use Arabic words maybe and say,

158

well, in Arabic, it's this.

159

Yeah.

160

People will know, even English speakers would know what you're saying.

161

And of course more people here speak both English and Arabic and then French and things like that.

162

So maybe you're just not used to operating 100% in English.

163

Yeah.

164

And that could be an issue.

165

But overall, you did well.

166

One thing that you did in part two was you looked at the cue card and you just said,

167

who lives there?

168

Started talking about that, where it is, what it looks like.

169

Explain why you like it.

170

I'm answering the question.

171

You are very capable of not looking at this at all.

172

I didn't want to skip any questions.

173

Yeah, but you can skip them.

174

So this is just a guide to help you,

175

but a better way of doing it would be,

176

talk to me like I'm your friend or your colleague,

177

and just use this when you get stuck.

178

When people are looking down and looking at this and reading,

179

they sound less fluent.

180

What also happens is you are getting through each of these very quickly.

181

So then at the end,

182

when you had nothing else to talk about,

183

then you have to think a lot and that affects your fluency.

184

And then you repeat the same idea and everything.

185

So if you were doing the test again,

186

I would say just practice not using these too much.

187

And then part three, overall quite good,

188

but you generally just gave your own personal point of view.

189

So you So you just said, I think this.

190

A way of developing your answer a little bit more would be,

191

okay, so I think that buying a house is better because I don't want to give money away to landlords.

192

But I can see why some people would prefer to rent because there's a greater freedom with rent.

193

So if you rent a place,

194

you are not tied to that location and you can leave at any time.

195

So there's a lot of benefits to that.

196

But the drawback is you're wasting a lot of money.

197

you were giving very straight good answers outside of this test.

198

If you gave those answers, totally fine.

199

But because this is a test that they wanted you to develop your ideas and talk about what is going on,

200

that might hold you back a little bit.

201

There's nothing wrong with your English.

202

You gave a very interesting performance,

203

and I think it's very useful for people to see this video because it shows that someone could have very good English,

204

English, a very high level,

205

but they're not used to the format of the test and

206

that can lead to them getting a lower score than they believed that they were capable of.

207

Because IELTS is not just having great English,

208

it's learning the format of the test and giving the examiner what they want.

209

And you just have to learn that a little bit more.

210

It just comes down to practice.

211

a day of practice and you would be ready to get the score.

212

Amazing.

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.
