Let's talk about food.

What's your favorite local food?

My favorite local food would have to be, I don't have the exact name for it,

but it's this sweet wheat bread with honey glazed on top and cheese.

It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory and salty.

And it just gives you everything you want at the moment.

Everything is perfect.

How often do you eat traditional food?

Not very often actually.

I don't have a specific food that I always go to every time.

I eat Asian food, Indian food.

Yeah.

That's fine.

Do you think that your local food is healthy?

Yes, I do.

I do think it's healthy, but it can also be unhealthy.

I mean, it really depends.

For the most part, yes, I do think it's healthy because it caters to the nutrients and stuff that you need.

So yes, I do think it's healthy.

How has food culture changed in your city over the years?

Food culture, it hasn't necessarily changed.

I think it's just grown more.

I'm so sorry.

No, you don't be sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be sorry.

So a little tip.

Don't try and think of the most sophisticated answer.

Pick something that is easy to talk about.

Okay, so let's talk about listening.

What do you like to listen to?

I love to listen to music and podcasts, especially relating to criminology and true crime stories.

I really enjoy that.

Do you prefer to listen to music or factual programs?

Music.

Music, it adheres to everything you feel and anything you feel.

There's just music for everything. So music.

Has what you listen to helped you learn anything?

Yes, it has helped me learn a lot about emotions, actually.

Other people's emotions, their perspectives, as well as my own. So yes.

Is there any non-musical content that interests you?

Like I said before, true crime podcasts.

I truly enjoy listening to that.

If I'm studying or I simply want to just relax and listen to something, true crime podcasts.

Now let's talk about self-improvement.

How do you try to improve yourself?

I try to improve myself by interacting with other people because typically I like to be alone.

I like to just do my own thing.

So I like to socialize to better improve my skills.

What would you like to be better at?

I would like to be better at conveying my emotions.

I would like to be able to seem less apathetic and more empathetic.

Like I understand you.

I just can't show you that.

Do you like to make plans for the future?

Yes, I do.

I love to plan ahead.

I love to have goals.

So I have something that I'm inching towards.

There's something waiting for me.

Yes.

And how do you stay motivated?

By reminding myself what could be and what will be.

I look at my goals.

They're not unattainable.

I can get them.

I can get there.

And that's what motivates me.

What's the most important lesson you've learned recently?

The most important lesson I've learned is...

The most important lesson I've learned recently is that you should live for yourself, not for others.

Because people, they come and go.

And in the end, you're the only one you have.

So live for yourself, not for others focus on yourself and your goals and get there.

So there was a time where I had a friend, a male, who had a very violent outburst regarding something personal in his personal life.

He was volatile, screaming, aggressive.

It was horrible and patience was needed.

All I could really do was sit back and listen

but not just listen hear understand and comprehend what he's saying like truly hear him

so he was growing more aggressive and

when I tried to speak he would instantly silence me no

I want to yell let me yell I want to scream I was like all right sat back I listened

and my patience was wearing thin but I managed to keep my composure

and the more I listened and stayed calm and looked at him

and remained unflappable he slowly began to calm down

and match my energy and in that moment I realized

if I wasn't calm and I kept talking instead of listening and interrupting, he would have just grown more aggressive,

more volatile, and it wouldn't have ended well for either of us.

Thankfully, in that moment, it made me realize that patience and remaining calm really does help.

Yeah, it was, it, the outcome could have been different in many ways.

It could have been horrible, it could have been great.

Thankfully, I approached it well, and it ended up well.

We've been talking about patience, and we're going to continue to talk about patience a little bit in part three.

How does impatience affect relationships?

To thank you for watching this video, I want to give you a free course that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score.

100

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

101

Impatience affects relationships negatively.

102

I truly don't see, in my opinion, I don't see how that could impact a relationship positively.

103

Impatience is typically associated with negative emotions and situations.

104

For example, if they're on a date at a restaurant, the food's taking a little longer than it should,

105

and one of them have an outburst.

106

They're impatient.

107

Where's my food?

108

Where is this?

109

Where's that?

110

It's embarrassing to their partner.

111

People will perceive you as this impatient, arrogant, rude person.

112

And who you are kind of reflects on your partner.

113

So it just doesn't end well for either or.

114

What can parents do to teach their children patience?

115

I think parents can teach children patience by being patient themselves.

116

They adapt to what they see, what they hear.

117

they learn from the parents.

118

So if the parent is impatient, the child's going to be impatient.

119

The child doesn't know any better.

120

All they have is their parents.

121

And if the parent, if the parent's great, the child's great.

122

If the parent's bad, well, the child's gonna learn that maybe be bad.

123

Now let's talk about patience within a professional context.

124

How important is patience in professional development?

125

Extremely important in professional development and just professional settings overall.

126

Patience, in my opinion, I actually think patience is just important in general, but in a professional setting,

127

yeah, it's very important because I mean One wrong move could sever so many possible connections with other professional people or companies. And that's one move.

128

Okay, well, I'm not answering that well.

129

Okay, no problem.

130

Why do some jobs require more patients than others?

131

I think it's based on the clients they have.

132

For example, therapists.

133

of course they need patience I mean like they focus on

134

people who who need patience who need people to listen

135

but in a fast-food joint I think everyone's a bit impatient

136

even though workers are a bit impatient you know everyone's running around

137

so I think it truly depends on the profession and the clients

138

and when it's needed it's needed when it's not it's not but it's best to have it overall.

139

How can organizations better manage people's expectations of time?

140

I think that by actually interacting with their intended targets, they can grow. So, okay.

141

I think by interacting with their intended targets, they can...

142

My brain shut down.

143

I'm so sorry.

144

Hold on.

145

Can you repeat the question?

146

So how can organizations like businesses better manage people's expectations of time, so customers being impatient with businesses and people who work there?

147

I think it just comes down to how you treat the customers

148

because in the end the customer like no matter what you

149

do there's always going to be one customer that's upset unhappy unsatisfied you can't please everyone

150

so what you can do is just give the people what

151

they want to a certain degree that's still within your company's boundaries.

152

and do the best you can.

153

And when there is that one unhappy customer, stay calm, listen, although it's irritating,

154

and hopefully all of you will.

155

Now normally, what I would do is I would give you your scores and everything, but you really want to get into a great university and do a great course,

156

I would really like to just help you.

157

And there's a few things that I can tell you now that will really,

158

really help you and make the process of doing the IELTS test when you're doing it soon just less stressful for you.

159

Because I think half the battle is stress and management of stress and things like that.

160

Your pronunciation is pretty much perfect.

161

Your grammar is perfect.

162

Your vocabulary is perfect.

163

When you're speaking about something you're comfortable talking about, your fluency is perfect.

164

You're at a band nine, but there's a couple of issues that are going to stop you getting there

165

or you're going to be so nervous on test day

166

that you're going to have to repeat the test over

167

and over and over and it's going to be expensive and time consuming.

168

You're doing things that we see very commonly.

169

I can help you with those things.

170

And then we'll go straight into doing another one

171

because what I would like to actually show people is someone at your level, an extremely high level English speaker,

172

very intelligent girl, is having issues that can be fixed very easily.

173

Part one, you will get questions that you don't feel comfortable with.

174

So there's two things that I think you can do.

175

When we were speaking before the test, before the cameras started rolling, you're one of the most fluent people I've ever spoken to.

176

You need to approach the test like a conversation.

177

Maybe don't see me.

178

Maybe you can't see me as a friend, but maybe see me as like if we were working together.

179

It seems as if you are directing your nervousness inward and being like, I don't really know how to answer that question.

180

Instead, I'd just be like, that's a really unusual question.

181

I haven't really thought about that.

182

But if I had to give an answer, you know, don't think that you are the problem.

183

The test is the problem.

184

It's a silly test, you know.

185

Someone like you who is so good at speaking English and I'm asking you silly questions, like, see it that way.

186

You know, it's fine to say, you know, I'm not really into food.

187

I don't really know much about food.

188

If you say that to the examiner, the examiner, if they're a good examiner, will steer the conversation away.

189

Part two, I think, was your best part because you related it to your real life.

190

I wouldn't talk about something that is so personal that you're like, oh, I feel a little bit uncomfortable.

191

But even if you talk about the most boring, inane thing, your job is to get a high IELTS score with the least amount of stress possible.

192

It is not to entertain anybody.

193

It is not to show everyone how great your answers are.

194

And the same with part three, you need to have a more relaxed approach like, I don't know, I've never really thought about that, but I guess.

195

And again, if there's something related to your life, you could talk about that.

196

Do you want to try it all again?

197

So I can just be casual.

198

Exactly.

199

Okay.

200

Okay.

201

Okay.

202

Okay.

203

Okay.

204

Let's talk about entertainment.

205

What do you do for entertainment?

206

I read books like the Odyssey, actually.

207

I love the Odyssey.

208

I'm really into Greek mythology.

209

So I read, I write sometimes and listen to music, entertainment.

210

What's your absolute favorite way to spend free time?

211

Combining music and literature and coming out with amazing writing. So, yeah.

212

Now let's talk about shopping.

213

Where do you usually go shopping?

214

I go shopping on online clothing stores because they're more easily accessible.

215

What's your favorite thing to shop for?

216

Books.

217

All kinds of books, but mostly books relating Greek mythology.

218

And what do you think makes a good shopping experience?

219

I think it's how you're feeling in the moment.

220

Like if you're in a good mood and you're hitting one of the shops you love the most,

221

you're going to have a great shopping experience but if you're feeling down or you're just not in the mood, you'll enjoy it.

222

Let's talk about photography.

223

Do you like taking photos?

224

Yes, I do like taking photos, but not of myself.

225

Who do you like taking photos of or what do you like taking photos of?

226

Really beautiful moments like the moon shining in the sky or my cats.

227

Can you tell me about the last picture you took?

228

The last picture I took was a picture of my cat backflipping midair.

229

So I learned something new online when I was just casually scrolling through my phone at like midnight.

230

I was going through TikTok and then a scandal popped up.

231

And this one influencer, trusted, admired, truly liked by everyone,

232

got exposed for being a liar, a cheat, scammer.

233

Although I knew, yeah, you can't trust what you see on social media, that person truly felt like down to earth, like one of us, not just an influencer.

234

So in that moment, I realized, OK, you truly, really can't trust any of these people on social media.

235

It helped me realize that I need to stop believing what I see, who they are, because they don't know me.

236

I don't know them.

237

I don't know anything, really.

238

So that is what I learned, that people are just liars on social media most of the time.

239

We've been talking about what you learned online, and we're going to continue to talk about that topic.

240

And let's start off by talking about digital learning.

241

How has online learning changed education in recent years?

242

251

If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.

252

I think there's been many advantages and disadvantages.

253

Advantages being there are many students who can't attend physical school

254

or there are students struggling with mental issues where they can't really interact with the teachers

255

and the students and it's just they're not meant for physical school

256

so it truly helps them or or there are students working

257

and they can't attend physical school so

258

that that's an advantage disadvantage cheating is a possibility i mean it's a possibility in physical school too

259

but on online school it's cheating is easier it's much easier you can access many tools

260

so i'd say it's both helped and And it's both an advantage and a disadvantage.

261

Hindered is the word.

262

Oh my god, okay.

263

Don't worry, don't worry.

264

Do you think traditional universities will be replaced by online learning in the future?

265

No, I don't.

266

I think that universities, physical universities are here to stay.

267

They've been here for centuries, they'll continue to be here.

268

But I do think that online learning will be incorporated if it hasn't already, and I'm pretty sure it has been.

269

So I think they'll learn to work together, but neither is going.

270

Let's talk about technology and education.

271

How has technology changed the way people access information in education in the classroom?

272

I think that technology has actually impacted the way students learn

273

because with technology everything is so easily accessible just one type into one website

274

and you get everything you're searching for students are no longer

275

interacting with each other unless they're forced into group projects

276

because they're not asking each other for help they have technology

277

teachers you know now they're relying on technology they're like search this up this online textbook search it up read it, come back to class, I'll test you.

278

So I think more negatively impacted students in the classroom.

279

Do you think there are any downsides to having instant access to information?

280

Yes I do, because while they are instant, they may not be accurate.

281

You can search up anything and you will always get an answer no matter what it is, but it doesn't mean it's an accurate true answer.

282

So Yes, I do think that there are downsides because you can be fed false information so easily.

283

Excellent.

284

Well done.

285

That's the end of the speaking test.

286

So, wasn't that better?

287

It was better.

288

It was better.

289

Why do you think it was better?

290

More casual, calm, chill.

291

Yeah.

292

So, there's a few things that I would like to help you with.

293

So, one, you are trying to find like the perfect word or the perfect thing to say.

294

Your English is good enough to get a band 9.

295

Less than 1% of people in the world get a band 9 when we're doing the IELTS test.

296

Okay.

297

So you are at a very, very high level, but you're trying too hard.

298

All you need to do is show the examiner what you're really capable of

299

and use tactics that allow you to do that, allow you to shine.

300

One thing that I think that you're really good at is talking about personal stories related to these topics.

301

The IELTS test will often be very vague topics.

302

For example, a time you learned something new online, there's so many things that you could choose.

303

Or it could be like a time when you had to be very patient.

304

So many things that you could choose.

305

Choose the things easiest for you to talk about.

306

The other thing that I noticed is you often will stop when you can't think of the right word.

307

For example, hindered, you know, what is a simpler version of that?

308

What is a way you could reformulate?

309

So instead of saying merits and demerits, you couldn't think of demerits like advantages and disadvantages.

310

Hindered, let's stop them doing well.

311

You can say things in a less precise way

312

that is more fluent for you because you have to balance vocabulary and fluency.

313

And then the other thing is I could see just with your body language, you were far more relaxed in that time.

314

Like you were literally like sitting on the side of the chair very, very relaxed.

315

And when you did that, you were a lot more fluent.

316

And then finally, what I would say is feel free to say to the examiner, I don't know much about that.

317

I don't know anything about that.

318

Not everyone can know everything about everything.

319

That is not what it is.

320

If you do that, you're pretty much guaranteed to get a band nine because that is the level that you're at.

321

There are thousands of stories about athletes or musical performers or anyone that has to perform that they're the best,

322

but they get it in their own way.

323

You're kind of like that.

324

Any questions or anything I can help you with?

325

It's just like, because when I'm speaking to someone, I'm just casual and I don't really care about if I sound informal or formal.

326

I'm just like, you know.

327

Well, they're not testing formal academic English.

328

They're testing speaking in general.

329

Because there's two types of people that do the IELTS test.

330

There's people who want to go to university, and then there's people like my wife, for example, who's from Vietnam.

331

She wanted just to move to the UK because she was unfortunate enough to marry someone from there.

332

She had to move there.

333

What they do is, in the speaking test, they put all those people together.

334

So someone like you who wants to study maybe law in a university or my wife who just wants to move.

335

So it would be unfair to expect my wife to use highly academic language

336

when that's not the purpose or that's not the reason why she's doing the IELTS test.

337

So the solution to that is they don't test academic formal English.

338

They just test English.

339

So there's normal everyday English.

340

I know it's hard, but imagine I'm your friend.

341

The examiner is your friend.

342

How would you speak to that person?

343

Yeah, but most examiners aren't like you.

344

They aren't like you at all.

345

That's why you use your imagination.

346

So, I don't know.

347

Be an actress for 15 minutes.

348

It's only 15 minutes.

349

Go in and literally pretend you are a person who is very relaxed

350

and is just going to speak in a very relaxed way.

351

Would that help?

352

Yeah.

353

Yeah, cool.

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.
