Collins English for exams.

Speaking for IELTS.

CD 1.

Track 1.

The person I'm closest to in my family is definitely my mum, Kate.

We've always got on and we hardly ever fall out.

I know that's unusual.

She's really outgoing and sociable.

She's always going out with friends and colleagues.

Everyone thinks she's good fun.

I look up to her because she's so hard -working, she never sits still, and she works long hours.

She can be a bit impatient, though.

She gets annoyed when her colleagues aren't as efficient as her.

I take after her in that.

I'm impatient, too.

And she's oversensitive, often getting offended for seemingly no reason.

2. My cousin Kieran and I grew up together.

We were inseparable.

He was so creative, he'd always think of new games we could play, and make up these stories to make me laugh.

I was constantly amazed by his open -mindedness as well.

He was never judgmental.

I wish I could be like that.

Unfortunately, we grew apart, slowly but surely, and by the time we went to uni, we weren't in touch anymore.

I haven't seen him for years.

It's really sad.

I would blame it partly on the fact that he's not very reliable.

So, for example, if I email him, he won't respond.

I'm not sure what he's up to these days.

3. I know this is a cliché, but I don't get on with my in -laws, especially my mother -in -law, Jane.

She's so nosy, always wanting to know what we're doing and who we're with,

and she's terribly blunt, which means she quite often upsets us with things she comes out with.

and then she can be quite stingy.

When we go out for a meal with her and my father -in -law, she never offers to pay, even though they're much better off than us.

I must say, though, She's extremely clever and I do respect her for that.

She set up her own business five years ago and it's gone from strength to strength.

She's so self -assured and ambitious too, which I suppose is why she's so successful in business.

110

Track 2.

111

Tell me something about your family.

112

What do you like doing most with your family?

113

Who are you close to in your family?

114

In what way is your family important to you?

115

Sample answers.

116

Tell me something about your family.

117

Although I live abroad now, my mum's family is from Paris and my dad's family is from Toulouse,

118

so I'm from a very French family.

119

Um, I would say I come from quite a small family, really.

120

For example, I just have one older sister and four cousins, but it's true that my extended family is fairly big.

121

What do you like doing most with your family?

122

Err, I like having nice long meals with good food and good wine, and a few jokes for dessert.

123

Who are you close to in your family?

124

In my family?

125

Well, I'm close to my Uncle Jacques.

126

He's a chef.

127

He's hilarious, always telling jokes.

128

And he's very enthusiastic about everything he does.

129

We spent a lot of time together when I was growing up.

130

In fact, he helped to bring me up.

131

In what way is your family important to you?

132

My family is everything to me.

133

They are my best friends.

134

They support me when things aren't going well, and when things are going well.

135

I know they'll always be there for me, no matter what.

136

Track 3.

137

One of my best friends is a guy called Raul.

138

I met him at uni in Barcelona where we were in the same study group.

139

When was that?

140

I suppose it was over ten years ago now, so yes, we've known each other for a good decade.

141

We got to know each other on the tennis courts

142

because the first few days of our course were so boring that we both decided we'd be better off outside playing tennis.

143

'What kind of person is he?

144

He's very active, a sporty type, involved in hiking and mountainbiking,

145

a bit of an adrenaline junkie.' He's also a very determined person, When he gets into something, he gives 100%.

146

and he changes passions often.

147

That makes him a bit of a self -absorbed person actually, which I'd say is a drawback.

148

And I think he comes across as full of himself sometimes.

149

I'm a bit too sure of his own opinions.

150

As for why I like him, well, he's actually quite different from me.

151

At uni, he'd often suggest doing something and I'd go along with it, and because I'm laid back, I never felt overwhelmed by him.

152

We've never fallen out or anything.

153

How often do you see your friend?

154

Well...

155

Because we live in different countries, we don't see each other that often.

156

But we try to catch up on a fairly regular basis, say, three times a year.

157

Track 4.

158

one.

159

Can I have a cup of tea?

160

2. We met at uni.

161

3. I've known him for ten years.

162

Four.

163

I'm from Dubai.

164

5. It's quarter to ten.

165

Track 5.

166

1. 2.

167

Ta.

168

2. of of.

169

3. at.

170

ut.

171

4. From. from, 5.

172

Four.

173

F. Track 6.

174

One.

175

Has she been waiting for long?

176

2. What are you looking at?

177

3. The present's not from Mark, it's for Mark.

178

4. I want to go.

179

Track 7 Modern families.

180

In what ways have families changed in the last hundred years?

181

Should we rely heavily on our families, or is it better to try to be independent?

182

The elderly are sometimes considered the wisest members of society.

183

What do you think we can learn from them?

184

Friendship What do you expect from a good friend?

185

Are friends as important to you as family?

186

Do you think friendships change as we get older?

187

How?

188

Sample answers.

189

In what ways have families changed in the last hundred years?

190

In Western countries, I would say families have become more widely dispersed and less close,

191

People travel more and then end up living far away from their families.

192

I think this is a shame because it means there is a breakdown of communities.

193

I also think that, because families are spread over a wider geographical area,

194

elderly people tend to be forgotten and usually live on their own.

195

Should we rely heavily on our families, or is it better to try to be independent?

196

'People seem to like living independently from each other these days,

197

but I do wonder if that's the best way.' Relying on people is seen as a weakness by some, I think.

198

However, having family nearby is invaluable when you have children, in my opinion.

199

Who else can be called on to babysit at a moment's notice?

200

The elderly are sometimes considered the wisest members of society.

201

What do you think we can learn from them?

202

Oh, an immense amount.

203

They're our living link with the past - of a family, a region, a country.

204

They're the keepers of local traditions, for example, and they provide a sense of identity to younger generations.

205

Sample answers.

206

What do you expect from a good friend?

207

For me, a good friend has to be reliable.

208

I can't stand being stood up or having my emails and texts ignored.

209

As well as that, a friend should be someone you can have good fun with, There are many things in life to be serious about,

210

but friendship shouldn't be one of them.

211

I also believe that opposites attract - in friendships just as in romance,

212

so a good friend will most likely be very different from you in many ways.

213

Are friends as important to you as family?

214

"Hmm, no, I wouldn't say so.

215

Friends come and go, but family are always there, whether you like it or not.

216

You can even be rude to your family, er, not that it's advisable, of course, and they will forgive you.

217

But sometimes you've known a friend for so long, they can become like a family member, you can really be yourself with them,

218

and you may even argue quite often, er, like siblings do.

219

'Do you think friendships change as we get older?' Well, I definitely find that I have less in common with some friends than I used to,

220

I sometimes wonder what we used to find to talk about.

221

And so you often grow apart from old school friends or old colleagues.

222

"The people I feel I have most in common with are friends I met at university.

223

I'm not sure why, but we somehow always have lots to talk about.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
