1
Good evening, my name is Adel Malik and I'm your today's speaking mock test examiner.
2
Can I know your full name please?
3
Good evening, my name is Mamora Yuldashova.
4
Alright, and how can I call you?
5
You can call me Mamora.
6
Alright, Mamora.
7
Let's get started.
8
Let's talk about where you live.
9
Could you please describe your hometown a little?
10
Yes, I was born and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
11
It's the capital of this country and this is located in Central Asia, the heart of Asia.
12
Although I've spent most of my life in another country, I am so proud to call this place my home.
13
The people are so friendly, hospitable, and pretty much if you can make good money, you can find everything here.
14
So this is one thing I like about living here.
15
We have all the amenities nearby.
16
I live in the city center, and I am the kind of person that enjoys a fast-paced life.
17
So the place that I live is actually perfect for my personality.
18
Perfect.
19
All right.
20
Let's carry on to talk about art.
21
Do you like art generally?
22
I don't think I would exist if art didn't.
23
Yes, art is like half my life.
24
It's my passion.
25
I consider myself a creative person.
26
You know, there's a creative and a scientific.
27
I'm more of an artistic person.
28
Ever since I was young, I've been drawn to drawing any kind of painting.
29
I've admired paintings.
30
And although to this day I'm not as free in terms of time to do any art, I do appreciate art a lot.
31
Great.
32
Do you like modern art or traditional one?
33
I don't really have a clear preference.
34
I'm more into paintings, be it traditional or modern.
35
Although, you know, some people actually go into art galleries and stare at big wall posters with only like a dot.
36
Not that kind of art.
37
I'm more into like landscape art, so whether it's traditional or modern.
38
Besides that, I'm also into any kind of digital art.
39
I know that's the demand for today's modern world.
40
So I don't really have a preference.
41
It's just any kind of art is beautiful.
42
Great.
43
So let's talk about stages in life.
44
At what age do you think people are the happiest?
45
The happiest?
46
Yeah.
47
Well, that's a tough question.
48
I would say maybe early youth, maybe around the ages of 18, 19 through 25.
49
That's when people consider themselves young and they're just learning about themselves, they're discovering their interests, their passions,
50
what makes them happy, what doesn't make them happy.
51
That's usually the time when people finish school and they can kind of branch out into a specific career field.
52
So I think they're the happiest at that age.
53
OK.
54
What did you often do with your friends in your childhood?
55
Well, as I said, I grew up in Tashkent.
56
And Uzbek people are known for sending their kids off the street to play with the other neighborhood kids.
57
And that's pretty much my childhood summed up in a sentence.
58
I spent most of my time as a child playing with my friends on the street.
59
It was pretty much we were all neighbors, and especially summers.
60
I remember we had all kinds of games.
61
We didn't have any digital tools like phones or computers, so all of our free time was spent just playing,
62
like running around, playing hopscotch or jumping rope or playing ball.
63
All right.
64
Do you enjoy being the age you are now?
65
Yes, of course.
66
I think anyone would say that.
67
I don't consider myself really old.
68
I don't consider myself really young.
69
I consider myself good enough for this life
70
and my age has given me my experience and all of the years
71
that i've lived have shaped me into who i am today so yes i do enjoy i like my age great
72
now we're going to move on to part two where i
73
will give you a topic for you to talk about for around one to two minutes
74
and um don't worry
75
if i stop you in the end um you have one minute to take notes
76
and prepare what you want to say and here's your paper
77
and pen so i would like you to describe a creative musician or a creative person you admire okay
78
all right i think time's up
79
so remember we have one to two minutes to speak about
80
and don't worry if i stop you are you ready yes please start now okay
81
so i want to talk to you about my little sister
82
um my little sister lives in new hampshire it's one of
83
the states in north america it's one of the states in the united states it borders canada
84
so it has really beautiful natural landscapes and forests and rivers
85
and i consider her to be the most creative person in my life
86
because she's so drawn to nature and she gets inspiration from nature
87
when she does art
88
and she's been involved with art since she was young i remember her in her room sitting until the
89
night hours just painting drawing anything she can think of
90
but now that she's grown up and she's married
91
and she's on her own she actually buys all the tools that she needs like really uh
92
professional level art sets like brush sets and paints
93
and then she goes through woods and forests and actually puts her easel
94
and draws what she sees and I think that's amazing to be committed to art
95
that much and another reason why I think she's so creative is because every day she goes to work,
96
she walks and on her trip she takes pictures of flowers.
97
Once she took a picture of one tree during all four seasons
98
and then she made a compilation of all of those four pictures and then she painted them.
99
So you can kind of see the transition of seasons from the perspective of just one tree
100
and it was just really creative and amazing and
101
that also inspired me as well when I paint
102
and she was actually the one to gift my kids their first art sets.
103
Perfect, thank you.
104
So we've been talking about a creative person so far
105
and I'd like to carry on by giving you one or two more questions related to creativity and inspiration.
106
Now what kind of jobs require creativity?
107
Well, that's a tough one.
108
I think creativity is not limited to just painting and art and photography.
109
I think there is some degree of creativity in any job on this planet,
110
ranging from bookkeepers all the way to scientists, explorers, inventors.
111
To be creative in your job means to problem solve and to be resourceful.
112
And unfortunately, a lot of people in their careers don't really get being creative as important,
113
but I think it is really significant in terms of how you deal with your job, especially when you really don't like your job, when you're having a bad day at work.
114
When you're creative, you can make that day turn to a good day because we're pretty much solving problems creatively, not like traditionally in a box.
115
All right.
116
How do artists acquire inspiration?
117
Like painters or musicians?
118
When I say artists, I mean mostly painters.
119
Okay.
120
I think some of them get their inspiration from nature, from what's around them, from their environment.
121
Other people might get it from memories, and that's very common, yes?
122
For example, artists draw portraits of people they knew in their life that made a huge impact on their life.
123
artists to go out to the fields, to the wildlife, and draw what they see.
124
That's a big source of inspiration for many artists that I know.
125
Aside from that, people can get inspiration from music, from songs, when they're just moved emotionally, and they can think of some memories they've had during their childhood, maybe.
126
So they can get their inspiration from many sources.
127
But nature is the most common.
128
All right.
129
Do you think visual media like film, photography is important in how news is presented?
130
Yes, definitely.
131
The way news is presented, it goes to different people differently.
132
I would say people who are into reading, who are more literary people,
133
for example, critics or editorial people, they don't mind not having visuals.
134
But general public, like us, we are more visual learners.
135
So when we see, for example, news, we tend to look for some kind of imagery in our heads
136
and if there's an image video or some kind of photo provided
137
that kind of helps us to understand what's being discussed
138
that has a bigger impact on us than
139
if it were just presented as a text now what can
140
schools do to nurture children's creativity i think um encouraging children to be creative can start as early as
141
when they're a baby at their toddler level maybe
142
and they can be encouraged through play through free play through pretend play and also
143
when they go to kindergarten they can do all kinds of
144
media all kinds of artwork a lot of schools already do
145
that and they're actually specialized schools for art that can nurture children's creativity
146
so it can start from anywhere from actually giving them a paper
147
and a pen or a pencil and say just draw something blue
148
or asking them to use a specific source of some kind of material, like from Play-Doh or clay.
149
It could be from any source.
150
All right.
151
Thank you.
152
That's the end of the speaking test.
153
Thank you very much, Mamora.
154
That's an impressive performance.
155
Thank you.
156
Thanks a lot.
157
From what I have just listened to, the performance was at a very good level, I think.
158
I can hail the first part as something that's the way you started was very calm but at the same time confident.
159
This is why I believe that many speakers at highest level actually hold themselves on.
160
So there's no a tiny bit of hesitant.
161
You're not being hesitant and you're pretty confident about what you're saying.
162
What I like is about the flexible grammar that you're utilizing because sometimes you're going very simple.
163
Sometimes you're actually going deeper into explaining what you want to say with different patterns of grammar, with, say, complex and simple ones.
164
Vocabulary is really impressive.
165
There's a lot of uncommon vocabulary, but still related to the topics that you're talking about.
166
Expressions are very natural and there's another feature that I can talk about
167
that students can learn is
168
that ascertaining what the question actually means what the question is actually saying
169
because in part three when you
170
when I said artists you said do you mean painters
171
or musicians yeah clarifying exactly that's great
172
so candidates can't ask questions that's totally normal that's totally normal as long as they don't overdo
173
that yes I think that's perfectly okay
174
and I'm I'm I'm more drawn to the way that you use natural expressions on the plays.
175
I mean, that was great.
176
I mean, moved emotionally and everything small, but very, very unnoticeable.
177
Because that's what band nine criteria says in both lexical resource and fluency and coherence, that it should be at a level that it doesn't require, it doesn't get attention.
178
It looks effortless.
179
And that's what you have done great.
180
So I believe that with this performance, it'll be a mistake if I did not score an overall band 9 with fluency and coherence 9,
181
pronunciation band 9, lexical source 9, and grammar range and accuracy, also scored at the highest possible score.
182
And one more piece of advice I actually forgot to mention.
183
Another example from Ms. Mamura's speech is
184
that it's a common feature of a band 9 to actually
185
go a little deeper into the analysis of your responses
186
because some questions in part three require you at a band nine level, require you to make sure that you have to go a little deeper into analysis
187
and explain what you want to say with deeper explanation, as you did in your performances about most of the questions in part three
188
because just a shallow explanation doesn't actually get you to a band nine.
189
You have to be able to go up
190
and down in terms of the level of analysis that you do in your part three responses.
191
So this is another great example that Ms. Mamura actually showed us.
192
So congratulations once again Ms. Mamura, you are still showing that you still keep that level highest level
193
and that's impressive band 9 score and hopefully good luck on your future endeavors.
194
Thank you so much.
195
This is really helpful.
196
I hope it's helpful for others as well. Of course.
197
Thank you.

Why This IELTS Speaking Clip Is Perfect for Practice
This video offers real-world speaking practice with natural dialogue, making it ideal for honing conversational skills. The test-taker’s responses are clear, structured, and filled with idiomatic expressions—exactly what examiners look for. Plus, the back-and-forth flow mirrors actual IELTS interactions, helping learners adapt to spontaneous questions. It’s a goldmine for mastering shadowing technique and improving fluency.
Breaking Down Natural Speech Patterns
Let’s analyze key lines to see why they work: - “I don't think I would exist if art didn't.” This dramatic, conversational phrase adds personality and avoids robotic repetition. It shows how to emphasize passion using hyperbole. - “Although I've spent most of my life in another country, I am so proud to call this place my home.” The contrast “although” creates a natural flow, connecting past experience to current feeling—critical for coherent answers. - “Not that kind of art. I'm more into like landscape art…” The casual “like” and short, direct correction sound authentic, mimicking how native speakers clarify thoughts mid-conversation.
A Simple Shadowing Routine to Try
Use the shadowing technique with this video for quick progress:
- Watch a 30-second clip, focusing on intonation and rhythm.
- Hit pause, then shadow speak the lines immediately, copying the speaker’s tone and speed.
- Record yourself and compare to the original. Note gaps in fluency or pronunciation.
- Repeat daily, gradually increasing clip length. For extra support, try a shadowing app to track progress.
Bu videodaki dil bilgisi

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.
