We're going to start off by talking about art and photography.

Do you like art?

That's interesting.

Depends on what.

I like cinema, for instance, movies, music, but I don't know too much about paintings or modern art.

I'm not too familiar with.

So it depends on what kind of art.

Do you like to take photographs?

Yes.

I wouldn't say the photographs are good, but I do enjoy taking pictures.

Yeah.

Do you prefer to take photos of yourself or other things?

Of other things.

It's kind of hard to take pictures of yourself unless it's a selfie and that's limited.

So pictures of other things mostly.

Now let's talk about animals.

Do you like animals?

I love animals.

Land animals, friendly, so to speak, animals.

not insects and not anything from the ocean.

What is your favorite animal?

Probably a dog.

Dogs, for obvious reasons you can keep them as pets.

In terms of like non-domesticated animals, probably jaguars.

Do you have any animals in your home as pets?

Yes, I have two dogs.

They're both from the shelter, the animal shelter, the rescues.

Yeah, I've always had pets.

Our family really likes keeping animals around.

Now let's talk about bags.

What type of bags do you like?

I prefer purses that are a little bit on the larger side, just because I like to put everything of my life in my purse.

So it ends up weighing maybe 20 kilos.

Yeah, larger bags, probably structured, larger bags.

How often do you carry a bag when you go out?

Every day.

I think that's the case for most women.

I think they carry a bag every even if you go down to the grocery or the supermarket, you take your bag with you usually, right?

What sort of bags do women like to buy?

It depends.

It depends on your outfit.

It depends on where you're going.

For the day, if you're going to the office, you probably want something bigger that can fit your laptop, your phone, paperwork, everything that you might need during the day.

If it's nighttime, you'd want something smaller, like a clutch, something more sleek, elegant.

So it depends.

If you're traveling, you'd want a much bigger bag that's able to fit.

Not just you, but all of your family's stuff as well.

So everything.

Women like all kinds of bags.

That's why we have so many of them.

Now let's talk about birthdays.

What did you usually do on your birthday when you were a child?

So when I was a kid, when I was a child in school, we had a uniform.

Everybody wore a uniform to school.

So when it was your birthday, it was the one day of the year that you were allowed to wear whatever you wanted.

So it was a big deal.

I mean, at least I would pick out my outfit like two months in advance.

It would be like a little dress, like a princessy frock, matching shoes, matching accessories for your hair.

And then you would take some kind of chocolate or candy to school.

And then you could take like a period off and go and give the candy out to other teachers and other kids in the school.

And we looked forward to it every year.

It was the highlight to get to not have to wear the uniform, to wear whatever you wanted, and to basically be able to skip class and go out and hand out chocolates because it's your birthday.

How do you normally celebrate your birthday now?

Very differently.

Everyone's allowed to wear whatever they want now.

So it's kind of not, doesn't have the same charm.

It depends.

I like to do a little dinner with my friends, something low key.

I'm not a very big party person.

So dinner is usually good.

Followed by probably like a games night or a movie night at home or at the cinema.

Something low key.

Do you think it's important to give someone a card on their birthday?

Like a handwritten, like a birthday card?

I think so, yes, because I'm quite sentimental and emotional.

So I prefer more emotional, sentimental gifts.

So I think if someone takes the time to write something by hand for you, I think that, I mean I hold on to stuff like that so I think it's a very nice thoughtful present to give someone on their birthday.

The first time I met a new friend, so I'm gonna go way back, it was my first day of school, kindergarten, and I met a girl named Amanpreet Kaj.

She, we were about, I think we just turned four years old.

We met obviously in kindergarten, first year of school.

What I liked about her when I first saw her, I mean, we were sitting together with the teacher made us sit next to each other.

And she had this long hair and it was like sectioned into two parts and it was just braided all the way down.

And she had the cutest face I've ever seen.

She had this little fluffy marshmallow like face.

I guess that's all it takes when you're a kid to want to be friends with somebody.

And then I tried to.

So there's like this little thing that kids do where they put their thumb out to show other kids that I want to be your friend.

And then if you don't want to be friends with them, you do this.

It's like a silly little thing.

So I did this to her.

I put my thumb out to say, hey, do you want to be friends?

And she was like this.

And I was heartbroken.

I was like, how can she know who want to be my friend?

And then I saw her again the next day and the day the next day after that and the day after that.

And then eventually we ended up becoming best friends.

She did it back to me, obviously, at some point.

She was my first best friend that I ever had in life.

She was from Punjab, which is a part of India.

100

And her mom used to make the most amazing, it's called paratha.

101

It's like this stuffed bread.

102

It's like they put potato and spices into a flatbread.

103

And my mom used to make something called seera, which is sweet semolina situation.

104

That's the end of the two minutes.

105

Okay.

106

We've been talking about a friend that you met and we're going to now talk about friends at school.

107

How important is it for children to have lots of friends at school?

108

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.

109

What it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test and give you strategies for part one, part two and part three and also allow you to practice at home for free and get feedback.

110

To sign up for that for free, all you have to do is just click the link in the description.

111

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

112

It depends, I would say.

113

I would perhaps think that quality is more important than quantity.

114

So I wouldn't say that the objective should be to make as many friends as you can or to be popular.

115

as much as the objective should be to build meaningful friendships with people.

116

That could be one person, that could be five people, that could be ten people.

117

Situational, I would say.

118

Yeah, so it's not so much how many friends you have.

119

It's not as important to have a lot of friends as it might be to have people that you can trust, that you can kind of take with you in life for a longer term.

120

Do you think it is wrong for parents to choose which friends their children have?

121

Again, that's a tricky one.

122

Now, when I answer these questions, I'm thinking back to real-life situations.

123

And in some cases, I have seen parents interfering and trying to make those decisions for their children where they were right to do so because the child was in bad company and they were too naive or too I mean I guess they were just too naive to see that that situation was not right for them but the parent obviously was able to identify that my child's in bad company so in those cases I would say that your parents are able to read a dangerous situation better but there's also the flip side where everybody kind of does make bad decisions.

124

Your parents made bad decisions, you made bad decisions.

125

And the way that you learn from them is to have a negative experience and then find your way out of it.

126

So I would say that I can see certain situations, whether it's bad relationships, bad friendships, when you're younger, not relationships when you're younger, friendships when you're younger.

127

Sometimes it's necessary to have that experience so that you know firsthand how to deal with that situation.

128

And you may not be able to get that experience if your parents always shield you from every single thing that can go wrong.

129

So I can kind of see, depends on the situation, I would say.

130

Now let's talk about making new friends.

131

Can you think of any disadvantages of making new friends online?

132

Disadvantages of making new friends online?

133

I think there's more disadvantages to making new friends.

134

I mean, there was a show recently that came out on Netflix called Tinder Swindler.

135

The thing is with most of what we see online isn't real, whether it's social media or even news for that matter.

136

Everything is kind of edited and monitored to present a certain kind of image.

137

So if you meet somebody online and you know nothing about them, they can really present any version of reality or a completely curated, sometimes dishonest form of their reality to you.

138

So it's a very dangerous game to play.

139

Friendships or relationships?

140

Both.

141

Friendships.

142

Friendships.

143

Friendships.

144

Yeah.

145

It's somebody you know nothing about is a very, everything can go wrong there, right?

146

Would you say it is harder for people to make new friends as they get older?

147

Yes.

148

I think it becomes harder for people to make friends as they get older.

149

I think adults are perhaps a little bit more structured.

150

I mean, the older that you get, the more set you get in your ways, your routine, where you work, your family, your gym.

151

For children, it's very easy for children to interact with other children.

152

Like if you put two kids in a room and three seconds are talking to each other without any restrictions are talking about all of their family secrets and everything, you know, they're comfortable.

153

But with adults, obviously, people tend to be more filtered when they interact with other adults.

154

Also, I think if you've been friends from the time that you were a child with somebody, you've lived through so many life events together that that kind of bond is hard to build with someone that you meet in your mid thirties because you've just lost so much time that you're learning something.

155

You're learning about them from scratch, where they went to school, about their family, about their relationships, about their siblings.

156

So, yeah, I think it's a it's not impossible.

157

You can make a lot of incredible friendships later in life, but it's probably harder to come by than if you were a kid in play school.

158

So what I'm going to do now is give you feedback on each part, because each part is a little bit different, give you some tips on how to perform as well or even better next time.

159

And then there are four marking criteria, fluency and coherence, grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary.

160

And I will give you a band for each of those and tell you what band.

161

The top is band nine.

162

So let's see if you can get right at the top.

163

So thank you for making it this far in the video.

164

171

172

If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.

173

So part one, it's just normal everyday questions and you answered those very, very naturally.

174

Again, it was like talking to a friend or a colleague and the length of your answers was also quite good.

175

This is not a criticism and it's just kind of who you are as a person.

176

You're a very friendly, chatty person who wants the other person to interact.

177

So you're often like, girls like buying bags, right?

178

That is fine in normal conversation.

179

If you were to do the test for real, the examiner could be quite stone faced because they're doing their job.

180

They're not being unfriendly.

181

They just have a job to do.

182

And they're trying to think about your grammar and your vocabulary and your pronunciation and your fluency.

183

And there's a lot going on there.

184

And for them, they cannot start to interact with you.

185

And on test day, you might not get a very friendly examiner like me.

186

I don't know whether I was friendly or not.

187

But they might be like, you know, don't do that.

188

Or some of them could be having a bad day and they just like, don't ask questions.

189

Now I have experienced with, not myself, but other students have said when they did that, thought the examiner was criticizing them or being rude, they took that to heart and thought, oh my god, I've failed my test.

190

And they went from doing very, very well to everything fell apart.

191

Because if you feel nervous, if you're uncomfortable with someone, then it really affects your fluency.

192

You can climb up.

193

You don't want to really show your language and who you are.

194

You don't want to, because one of the great advantages or great strengths that you have is you're very open about who you are as a person.

195

And that's great because it allows you to speak in a very fluent way.

196

If you go and do the test for real, probably don't interact with the examiner as much.

197

Part two, you did a great job because you just picked a real event, a real person from your life.

198

And it's much easier to talk about that.

199

Some students try to pick something high level or impressive to impress the examiner.

200

There's no such thing.

201

The best thing to do is pick something from your real life because that's easy to talk about.

202

Part three, you did very, very well because you really extended your answers.

203

Again, you use real situations from your own life.

204

You don't have to do that, but it really did help you develop your answers.

205

In terms of the scores, pronunciation is pretty much perfect.

206

The examiner will be thinking about, can I understand every word this person is saying?

207

100% I can understand every syllable.

208

Then the examiner will be thinking about high level pronunciation features, such as your intonation.

209

So our voices go up, our voices go down.

210

You speak like a native English speaker in that respect.

211

Sentence stress is when we emphasize certain words.

212

This is my phone, not your phone.

213

So you emphasize certain words at times.

214

Again, you do that 100% naturally.

215

And then you use connected speech.

216

The way native English speakers talk, we wouldn't say, I want to talk about my friend.

217

You'd say, I want to talk about my friend.

218

The flow of the language.

219

So absolutely perfect, no problems there.

220

Coherence and fluency.

221

Coherence is did you answer the questions?

222

Did you develop them enough?

223

You did that 100% of the time.

224

And then fluency is, did you speak without any Unnatural pausing.

225

You did pause at times, but the reason why you paused is important.

226

So in the last, I think it was the second last question, you were talking about adults and you were saying their lives are more structured.

227

So you weren't trying to think of the correct vocabulary because your English isn't good enough.

228

You were trying to just formulate your thoughts and come up with the appropriate precise word, which you did.

229

So that demonstrates to the examiner that you have a very high level of vocabulary.

230

Because if you were, because you're trying to think of the word, what's the word, so when people don't really know the language, then they would stop.

231

And also because you approach this not as a test, but more as a conversation, and you are very open and talk about your life in a very open way, that really helps with fluency.

232

So again, top marks for fluency and coherence.

233

Grammar, I didn't hear a single grammar mistake.

234

The examiner will be thinking about the accuracy of your grammar, did you make any mistakes, and the range of your grammar.

235

So if I talk to you about a birthday party in the past, did you use the appropriate past tenses?

236

And then I ask you about, well, what do you do today?

237

Did you switch tenses?

238

Did you use the appropriate grammatical structures and tenses to talk about each situation?

239

And again, you did that perfectly.

240

Vocabulary, very natural.

241

You use a nice mixture of just normal, everyday words, which everybody uses, and you also use idiomatic language very, very well.

242

So as you can see, you're using very natural English.

243

And overall, you would get a perfect band line, which is very rare.

244

Oh, wow.

245

Very, very rare.

246

Okay.

247

Well done.

248

Thank you.
