Shadowing Practice: IELTS English Podcast - Speaking Topic: Technology - Learn English Speaking with Video

Hello everyone, I am Jack, your IELTS teacher, and welcome back to another episode of the IELTS + English podcast.

We are going through a period of really fun topics for me.

This, as I told you before, this is a 40 topic curriculum.

And of course, there are good topics and bad topics, hard topics and easy topics.

But for me right now, this is a real golden period.

We did society.

Very interesting.

Sport, something I do a lot.

And today we're doing technology, which is something I am so interested in.

And it's the thing I love to spend my money on.

You know, some people like to spend their money on clothing, on food, on experiences.

I love technology.

So looking forward to today's topic.

Remember, I do have ten vocabulary and expressions that goes with this podcast.

You can find that at www .jax -english .com.

And if you're in Korea and you're familiar with Naeva, you can go to my Naeva Cafe, Jax English Yongguk Yongo.

and you'll find everything there that you'll need for all of the podcast episodes so far.

To start off today's episode, I want to think about two very interesting words which are on today's word list,

because it divides people into two groups those that are very interested and comfortable with technology and those who are not.

Perhaps they're scared of technology or they just don't like technology.

And the first group are called technophiles.

The second group are called technophobes.

I'm a technophile.

a technophile that means

that i'm really interested in technology technophobe is someone who doesn't like it doesn't really want to use technology

so how about you what are you are you a technophile

or a technophobe if you're listening to the podcast think about your answer

if you are on youtube then let me know in the comments below let's start with some ielts part one questions

is do you enjoy using technology?

Yes, I really enjoy using technology.

I use it in, I think, all aspects of my life, whether it's work, I'm using my laptop,

my phone, equipment for my podcast,

or sport, I like to look at my phone to analyze whatever sport I'm doing, or at home with my entertainment.

So technology is a huge part of my life.

Okay, so let's do another one.

What gadgets do you use on a daily basis?

I have a number of gadgets I use on a daily basis.

The ones that come to my mind immediately are my phone, my laptop, my e -book reader.

my camera.

But the one that's really sticking out for me this year is my ebook reader,

which is quite a new piece of technology that I use on a day -to -day basis.

Good, okay, I'm warmed up, let's do a part two.

And this looks pretty comfortable.

Describe an important gadget in your life.

So I'm just going to talk about the thing

that comes to my mind first and I think I can talk for a long time.

So two minutes starts now.

I'd like to tell you about my phone.

Just last year I got a new phone.

I've always had kind of okay phones, but last year I decided to upgrade to kind of a top of the range Apple phone,

which is the new iPhone 13 and it has all the new technology, the good camera, etc.

photography and videography so I was excited to have this

that I can carry around with me day to day and it didn't disappoint.

I was really impressed.

I still am really impressed by how good the camera is, how quick the phone is, how easy it is to use.

You know it's quite a an intuitive design so it's quite easy to learn how to use it

contrary to what I was told, a lot of people said Apple phones are difficult.

So let me tell you a little more about my phone.

The important thing for me was the camera, because as I said, I do like videography, particularly.

I want to take good videos of my daughter, and I want to take photographs of the changing seasons, this kind of thing.

So that was really important for me when I made this decision to buy the phone.

the best phone I've ever had.

I've had several phones and I've liked some of them.

I've always used Samsung, but this is definitely the best phone I've ever had.

And I assume in the future I will stick with Apple, but we'll see.

I'm not going to be very stuck to one brand.

In the future, I will continue using this for a long time.

I do like to use my phones for as long as possible.

I don't want to just keep switching every year or two.

So I will...

Okay, there you go.

Now, I think that was okay.

I did try to use a few words in my list.

I was actually a little put off by some drilling sound in the background.

I don't know if you can hear that on the podcast.

We will see.

But yeah, someone is doing some building work in this building.

So I was a little bit put off by that.

But no excuses.

I was quite happy with that answer.

the biggest impact on our lives.

I think the biggest technological development that comes to my mind is the phone, the smartphone, because it was a real game changer.

The reason I say it's a game changer is because of the smartphone, a lot of other technology became obsolete.

For example, the MP3 player, the digital camera, there's several things that we used to need,

the other one, satellite navigation in our cars.

We used to need these, but nowadays the smartphone have made them obsolete, meaning we don't need them anymore.

So I would say that the smartphone is the best example of technology that's changed our lives.

Good, okay, pretty good answer.

I think I would like to have an example in there, like personal to me.

So, you know, if you're thinking about at lengthening your answer in part three, really try to think about, are you giving your examples?

That can be very powerful.

I'll try to do that in the next one.

So the next question is, do you think people rely too much on modern technology?

And Um, yes, I think so.

I'm not sure it's such a big deal, but yes, I think people rely a lot on modern technology.

for example, people rely on modern technology for writing, auto -correct feature.

So I think a lot of people's writing skill is going down.

You know, there's not so many good, naturally good writers or people that have practiced writing a lot.

Another one that comes to my mind is our reliance on maps has made people very bad with direction and reading maps.

100

And when I say reliance on maps, I'm of course talking about our Google Maps on our phones.

101

So perhaps people's sense of direction, finding our way, that's getting worse nowadays.

102

Good, let's do one more.

103

How effective is the use of computers in the classroom?

104

I think computers can be a good thing, but I'm not convinced...

105

I'm not convinced how useful they are yet because, and let's talk about technology as a whole, I find that phones are a distraction.

106

I find that iPads are useful in the classroom, but you've got to use them well.

107

You've got to have a very specific reason for using them in the classroom.

108

The thing

109

that I would be interested to look into as a teacher

110

would be using more computer systems in my academy to keep student profiles

111

and to show their progress and graphs and these kind of things that for me are very interesting, kind of performance analysis.

112

Now I'm going very deep there, but for me as a teacher, that would be very interesting.

113

Okay, good.

114

That last answer was not really me trying to follow an IELTS structure.

115

That was actually my genuine thought.

116

But of course, in the IELTS exam, if there's something you care about and you're really interested in, Use it, you know, talk about the things that you're interested in,

117

because that can allow you to provide a lot of language to the examiner.

118

Good.

119

Okay, I think we'll leave it there.

120

Another nice topic.

121

And I will be back next week with the next episode.

122

So have a wonderful week.

123

Study hard, review today, preview the next topic, and I'll be back very soon.

124

See you next Wednesday.

125

Bye bye.

126

Bye.

127

Bye.

128

Bye.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
