28
I can vividly remember when I was a child, the first time I flew on Vietnam Airlines.
29
It's a really nice way to give examples in your part one.
30
Now, let's move on to part two.
31
Describe a job you would like to have in the future.
32
You should sing.
33
what it is how you would get it, what skills it requires, and why you would like this job.
34
There are so many occupations I could talk about.
35
However, if I had to pick one, it would be to become a pilot.
36
for beautiful and famous airline.
37
I would get this job by not only studying all about aerospace,
38
but also I would do extra research on how to apply to these companies.
39
To become a pilot, I would need a variety of skills.
40
Thusly.
41
I would need to be passionate about planes, in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics about how they work,
42
as well as to feel confident when behind the wheel.
43
Secondly, I would need to be enthusiastic.
44
about spending time traveling around the world, because this is a fundamental part of this special job.
45
The reason why I would love to be a pilot is not only because of its social status,
46
being able to tell people about this fantastic and sexy job but also it has sentimental value.
47
I can clearly recall when I was younger, I enjoyed my first trip upon Vietnam Airlines.
48
When I boarded the plane,
49
I met the charismatic and charming pilot who assured me that Even though I was very afraid of flying,
50
nothing would go wrong.
51
I was in a safe pair of hands.
52
From that moment I knew this would be the dream job for me.
53
In the future, I will try my best to learn how to become a skilled and passionate pilot.
54
See Vetti, I'm following our technique one for part two.
55
Using our speaking structures, variety of something, and then telling a passionate story at the end.
56
The reason why I would love this occupation is not only, but also it has sentimental value and a little story.
57
There, to be honest, that's not really a true story.
58
I've never really met that many pilots.
59
But remember, in your IELTS speaking, you can lie.
60
Yeah?
61
Fantastic.
62
Now let's move on to part three.
63
Now, in this part there are some quite challenging questions
64
but see if you can notice the range of different techniques I use in my answers.
65
Question number one: How is work culture changing today?
66
Well, to be honest, I think the biggest development is the use of technology.
67
and its fundamental importance in the working environment.
68
For example, if people are able to easily use electronic devices,
69
then they will be able to incorporate AI into their working which will help them to become more productive.
70
Moreover, I think another change is the trend of working from home,
71
which has become a incredibly vital in the 21st century and allows people to relax.
72
Number two.
73
Is salary the most important thing when applying for a job?
74
Well, in my opinion, it depends on age.
75
Young people should focus on gaining more experience, which is vital for them to be successful and develop in their career path.
76
In contrast, for older people, wages and salary are of fundamental importance.
77
Because if they can achieve financial freedom, then they can take care of their families.
78
What skills are most important for success?
79
Well, some people think that public speaking is the most vital skill
80
because it's essential to be able to thrive in a work environment but I think
81
Having a strong command of the English language is essential.
82
in order to be able to communicate with colleagues from around the world.
83
as well as to be able to chat up your boss and impress them in order to hopefully get a promotion.
84
Finally, do you think AI will replace humans?
85
Absolutely no. Because we cannot replace that face -to -face interaction between teachers and students.
86
which is of fundamental importance to guide them and to help build their confidence.
87
For example, In Vietnam, many students are quite shy and are introverts.
88
Therefore, it is a teacher's job to build their confidence.
89
However, though, AI is no doubt becoming a vital part of the learning and skills environment in the 21st century.
90
I think that AI and educators should work together to provide the best environment for learners in the future.
91
So guys, I hope you enjoyed those answers.
92
I think the questions about AI are incredibly difficult and I'm curious if you agree with me.
93
Do you think AI will replace teachers in the future?
94
I would love to know your ideas.

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.
