Music Good

morning.
3
My name's Janet Miller.
4
Can you tell me your full name, please?
5
My name's Nairan Boonmi.
6
And can you tell me where you're from?
7
I'm from Thailand.
8
Can I see your identification, please?
9
Thank you.
10
In the first part, I'd like to ask you a few questions about yourself.
11
What do you do?
12
Do you work or are you a student?
13
Well, actually both.
14
I'm a part-time student.
15
I'm doing a degree in business studies.
16
I'm also working as a lifeguard at my local swimming pool.
17
I see.
18
What's the most interesting part of being a lifeguard?
19
Well, to be honest, it's not a very interesting job.
20
Most of the time we just wait by the pool.
21
The most interesting part is probably the conversations I have with the other lifeguards.
22
I've got to know them all pretty well now.
23
What's the most difficult part of being a lifeguard?
24
We quite often have to tell children to stop behaving badly and occasionally their parents get angry with us.
25
Don't tell my children what to do, that kind of thing, that can be difficult.
26
Would you say it's a good occupation?
27
Well, yes and no. It's a very pleasant job in some ways, but as I said, it can be boring,
28
and it's not very well paid.
29
That's why I'm doing a degree.
30
I want to get something better.
31
I see.
32
What are your career plans for the future?
33
When I graduate, I want to get a job in a financial institution, maybe a bank or insurance company.
34
I haven't decided exactly what yet, but something like that.
35
In the first part, I'd like to ask you about the place where you live.
36
Can you describe the building you live in?
37
Yes.
38
I live in an apartment block.
39
It's got, I think, eight floors and we're on the second floor.
40
It's a modern block.
41
I think it was built about 20 years ago.
42
Is it similar to other buildings in the area?
43
Yes, it is.
44
There are lots of blocks very similar to mine in that part of the city.
45
Is it in a convenient location for you?
46
Hmm, no, not really.
47
It's quite far from the city centre.
48
I'm studying at a college on the other side of the city, so I spend about two hours on the bus every day.
49
It's quite boring.
50
The bus is always quite crowded, and I often have to stand.
51
Actually, it's probably the worst part of my day.
52
I can imagine.
53
Apart from the buses, do you like living in your city?
54
Yes, I do.
55
There's always a lot going on, and all my friends are there.
56
It's very lively in the evenings.
57
There are a lot of good bars and restaurants, and people come from all around the city to meet their friends and have a good time.
58
It's a very good atmosphere.
59
What changes would improve the area where you live?
60
Like most cities, there's far too much traffic.
61
I was talking about my bus journey every day.
62
It's only about 10 kilometres but it takes so long
63
because most of the time the bus is stuck in a traffic jam.
64
Also, sometimes the city is quite polluted,
65
Especially when the weather is cold and there is no wind to blow away the pollution.
66
So less traffic and less pollution would be big improvements.
67
I'd like to ask you some questions about your free time activities.
68
What do you do at the weekends?
69
Well, my final exams are next month, so at the moment I don't really have any free time at the weekends or any other days.
70
However, in general, when I have free time, I like doing outdoor activities.
71
In particular, I really like land yachting.
72
Land yachting.
73
What's that?
74
Um, well, you have a little chariot with three wheels and a big sail.
75
You sit on the chariot and catch the wind in the sail to make the chariot move.
76
There's a big, flat, windy beach quite near where I live, which is ideal for it.
77
It's also called beach yachting and also land sailing.
78
You don't have to do it on a beach.
79
Any flat land will do.
80
I see.
81
What is it that you like about this sport?
82
On a windy day, the chariots can go really fast, and because you're so close to the ground, you really feel the speed.
83
It's a thrilling experience.
84
To tell the truth, though, for every ten minutes you spend on the chariot,
85
you probably spend an hour setting up the equipment and waiting for the wind to be right, but that's all part of the fun, too.
86
It's It's great being outdoors by the sea.
87
How often do you get the chance to do it?
88
In theory you can do it all year round, but it's not a lot of fun in the freezing cold.
89
It's mostly a summer sport.
90
I suppose April to October are the main months.
91
You also need wind, of course.
92
Another factor is the other people on the beach.
93
In July and August the beach can get quite crowded, so at that time of year we mostly do it quite late in the day, when the beach is emptier.
94
So generally I do it at the weekends, from late spring to early autumn, but a bit less in the middle of the summer, for the reason I just said.
95
How important a part of your week are your free time activities?
96
Not really that important.
97
Perhaps if I was working my time off would be the most important part of the week in some ways.
98
But because I'm a student, I don't so much feel the need to let my hair down at the weekends.
99
I enjoy most of the time I'm studying, too.
100
It's not like doing a stressful job.
101
Do you enjoy your free time more now than you did when you were a child?
102
That's a hard question to answer.
103
I don't really remember how I felt about my free time when I was a child.
104
I used to go sand yachting then, too.
105
It was my father who got me started.
106
I used to find it quite frightening, and now I don't.
107
So, in that respect, I suppose I enjoy my free time more now.
108
What free time activity would you like to try in the future?
109
I'd love to try real sailing, you know, with a boat on the sea or a lake.
110
I've never done it.
111
I imagine it's probably a bit more difficult than sand yachting.
112
Now, let's talk about books and magazines.
113
What kind of books and magazines do you like reading?
114
Erm, I'm really not bothered about magazines.
115
I never buy them, and I hardly ever read them.
116
Only if I'm in the dentist's waiting room or somewhere else where there's nothing better to read.
117
I don't really have an opinion about them.
118
I see.
119
So what sort of books do you like?
120
I don't read many novels.
121
I'm much more interested in non-fiction.
122
I'm a big fan of biographies.
123
I think there's a lot to be learned from the lives of famous people.
124
I like reference books.
125
Obviously you can't sit down and read an atlas or a dictionary of quotations, but I often spend time looking through that kind of book.
126
Again, there's a lot to be learned from them.
127
Do you like reading any other types of book?
128
Well, as I said, I don't read many novels.
129
I quite like crime fiction.
130
At the moment I'm reading a book by Michael Dibden about an Italian detective called Aurelio Zen.
131
It's quite good.
132
Have the types of book you like changed over the years?
133
Sorry, I didn't catch that.
134
Could you repeat the question?
135
Have the types of book you like changed over the years?
136
No, not really.
137
Obviously my tastes now are different to my tastes as a child, but apart from that, I don't think they've really changed at all.
138
Do you prefer reading books or newspapers?
139
Ah, well, I'm obsessed with news and current affairs.
140
I buy two newspapers every day, and I read both of them.
141
I spend much more time reading newspapers than books, so I suppose that must mean I prefer them.
142
Let's talk about your schooling.
143
Where did you go to primary school?
144
I went to a small village primary school in London, England.
145
There were only 100 children in the whole school.
146
I think there were about 15 children in my year.
147
Did you do you enjoy school?
148
Yes and no. I have always quite enjoyed school.
149
I'm quite academic and I like learning, but I don't like tests and exams.
150
I hate having deadlines.
151
So often I found school very stressful.
152
There is so much pressure.
153
What was, is your favorite school subject?
154
My favorite subject at school has always been English.
155
I love reading and it is so interesting to learn about what books mean and to discuss different interpretations.
156
I also really enjoy history.
157
Learning about the past really helps us to understand the present.
158
What was, is your least favorite subject in school?
159
Well, I've never been keen on science.
160
It just doesn't hold my attention.
161
I wish I enjoyed it more because I do think that it is interesting and important to understand how the world works.
162
I'm just better suited to creative subjects.
163
What did you study?
164
Do you want to study?
165
Or are you studying at university?
166
I was hoping to study English literature at university.
167
It has always been my best subject at school and I really enjoy it.
168
My favorite author is Jane Austen, so I'm hoping to specialize in studying her work.
169
Good afternoon, come in please.
170
Good afternoon, thank you.
171
Have a seat.
172
Thank you.
173
Well, can I have a look at your passport?
174
Yes, of course.
175
Thanks, and may I have your full name please?
176
My name is Naqmeh Saderian.
177
Okay, Naqmeh, it's a nice name.
178
What is the meaning of your name?
179
Well, my name means song or melody in the Persian language, in Farsi.
180
Okay, thanks.
181
And do you think your name has an impact on your character and personality?
182
Well, I haven't given this much thought, but I think maybe because it means melody and song,
183
it affects people's perception of my character.
184
Perhaps this sort of cheerful name makes them expect a cheerful character, which I try to be, but obviously I'm not all the time.
185
But no, I don't think it affects my character as a person.
186
All right, Nathmeh, let's move on to another question.
187
Is your health important to you?
188
I think everybody's health is important to them.
189
I think we all try to do our best to lead a healthy life, but whether or not we succeed is a different question.
190
What do you do to improve your health?
191
Not as much as I should, to be honest.
192
I don't think I eat as healthily as I should be, and I probably need to exercise a lot more and possibly cut down on my caffeine intake.
193
What is the major health concern in your country at the moment?
194
I think, like many other countries globally,
195
our main health concern must be the N1H1 virus which is also known as swine flu.
196
The reason being that apparently it is taking on the form of a pandemic
197
which is very worrying due to the large population in my country.
198
I do believe that the government is trying to control this with the guidelines and help of the World Health Organization
199
and hopefully this will be under control soon.
200
Okay, thanks, Nakmeh.
201
Do you like cooking?
202
I do.
203
I do like cooking.
204
But unfortunately, due to my being a student, I don't find enough time to cook as regularly as I should.
205
Okay, thanks.
206
What kind of food do you like?
207
Well, I enjoy a vast majority of the foods that I've tasted and experienced.
208
I'm very fond of my country's local cuisine, but I also really enjoy a nice Italian or Chinese meal.
209
Okay, thanks, Nakmeh.
210
What are the most famous dishes of your country?
211
Well, it would be difficult to name a few famous dishes
212
or specialties because I think each area of the country has its own specialty which people enjoy.
213
But I think on an international level, I could perhaps say cholo kebab,
214
which consists of grilled meat accompanied by rice.
215
Cholo means rice and kebab means grilled meat.
216
This meat can be any form.
217
It can be beef or lamb, chicken or even mince meat, normally with a combination of onion.
218
traditionally the meat is pulled onto skewers and cooked over a charcoal fire
219
okay thanks and tell me in your country have people's eating habits changed well i honestly don't think
220
that this is just limited to my country i think over the over the ages people's living habits have changed
221
and also life has taken on a much faster pace.
222
So I think that has reflected maybe not very positively on people's eating habits.
223
You tend to catch a meal on the run
224
a lot of times and a lot of people are constantly in a hurry
225
so they can't sit down and enjoy a proper meal during the day.
226
Of course, it's good to take the time out
227
and do this at least once a day in order to help your digestion and also focus on healthier foods.
228
Part 1 How often do you go on holiday?
229
I'd say typically once or twice a year, always during the summer for about two weeks and sometimes,
230
if I'm lucky, I get to go away another time as well.
231
But unfortunately, that doesn't happen as often as I'd like it to.
232
As my old grand used to say, money doesn't go on trees.
233
Where did you go most recently?
234
Last time I went on holidays, I went to Paris for a week with the rest of my family.
235
It was last March and we had such a wonderful time visiting all the city's famous sites and attractions.
236
It blew me away.
237
Who do you normally go on holiday with?
238
Most of the time I go with my family, but as I get older, I'm more inclined to go with my friends instead sometimes,
239
as that gives me a little bit more independence to do my own thing.
240
As time goes on, I guess I'll probably want to do that more and more.
241
Do you have a favorite place to go on holiday?
242
You bet!
243
I love Barcelona.
244
It's a beautiful city with a great nightlife and a real good buzz.
245
Plus, it's not far from the sea or the mountains.
246
So you've got the best of both worlds, really.
247
What do you normally pack in your suitcase when you go away?
248
Oh, you know, all the essentials togs and a towel for the beach, some shorts and t-shirts, my toiletries of course,
249
toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving cream, a razor, and also some sunglasses,
250
my camera, I'm always click click clicking, it drives everyone mad, that kind of thing, but I try to travel light,
251
unlike some people I know who seem to take all their worldly belongings away with them.
252
Hello, come in please.
253
Thank you very much.
254
All right, may I have your full name?
255
My name is Sogol Bakhtiari.
256
All right, thanks Sogol.
257
Can I take a look at your passport?
258
Of course, here you are.
259
All right Sogol, do you like shopping? and why?
260
I think I do like shopping quite a lot.
261
Some people might call me a shopaholic.
262
I think most women are like me.
263
We tend to buy impulsively.
264
We're impulsive buyers.
265
This means that sometimes we buy things that we really don't need, but we enjoy doing that.
266
All right, thanks.
267
What time do you do the shopping?
268
Well, as I work from 8 o'clock till 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
269
I tend to do my shopping on the way back home or during the weekends.
270
If I need something urgently, I might even take my lunch break
271
and quickly go to the place I need to go and buy the thing I need.
272
Okay, so do you ever shop on the internet?
273
I don't think I would like to.
274
I never have and for me shopping needs to be a personal experience.
275
I like to see what I am choosing and about to buy.
276
Seeing a photograph I don't think does the same thing.
277
It's not the same experience.
278
Thanks.
279
Let's move on to the topic of clothing.
280
What type of clothes do you like to wear?
281
I like comfortable clothes, something that's easy to be in for the whole day.
282
Okay.
283
And what kind of clothes do people in your country usually wear?
284
Well, that depends on their age and also it depends on their job sometimes even.
285
But I think you'll find in Tehran, where younger people like to wear trendy clothes.
286
They like wearing jeans and colourful coats and t-shirts.
287
Yes, I think the younger people enjoy younger fashion like everywhere in the world.
288
They prefer to dress in a sporty manner.
289
But of course, for formal occasions, the men will put on a very nice suit and the ladies will wear an evening dress.
290
All right.
291
Do you think people behave differently in different kinds of clothes?
292
I think they probably do.
293
If you wear something smart and formal, I think you subconsciously feel that you're supposed to behave very dignified,
294
maybe, and you might even feel important.
295
But if you're wearing something comfortable and sporty and everyday, you'll probably behave more casual as well,
296
and you'll probably be more approachable at the same time.
297
all right thanks now let's move on to the topic card
298
I would like you to describe one of the shopping centers you often go to
299
so you have to talk about a topic for about two minutes
300
and you have one minute to think about a topic here is a paper
301
and a pencil to write down whatever you wish and then you may start.
302
Thank you.
303
Good morning.
304
Please come in and have a seat.
305
Good morning, ma'am.
306
Thanks.
307
May I have your full name?
308
Sure.
309
My name is Laleh Khoshani.
310
Thank you, Laleh.
311
Can I have a look at your passport?
312
Sure, there you go.
313
Thank you.
314
All right, Laleh, I'm going to ask you a few personal questions.
315
Do you watch television a lot?
316
Well, not really.
317
I'm not a couch potato and also I don't think I'm a TV addict.
318
But when I get back home in the evening,
319
I really like to lie down and relax and switch onto a channel and watch probably TV series or news channels.
320
And what do you usually watch on TV?
321
Well, that's interesting and it's in fact a very good question.
322
Let me see.
323
Well, most of the time I really like to follow the current news.
324
So basically I watch news channels and probably late at night I switch on the channels which has TV series.
325
All right.
326
And what are the most popular programs in your country?
327
Well, I suppose among the people,
328
probably TV series and documentaries are the most popular TV programs.
329
Moreover, I suppose many people also are interested in following the news.
330
So many of them, in fact, follow the current news through TV channels.
331
right and lana what are some disadvantages of television in your opinion
332
well in my opinion um there might be some disadvantages i
333
can name a few let's say it takes the time of the people
334
and the families when especially family members are sitting together watching a tv instead of having interaction
335
and conversation they have to just focus their attention on what is going on on TV.
336
So it actually gives less time to family members to be together and to have a family and friendly chat.
337
And also for the kids, I think for the kids,
338
it might be not that beneficial to sit in front of TV doing nothing,
339
just gazing at the tube and it might be quite destructive for them.
340
It makes them less active.
341
It makes them, in fact, passive.
342
And I can say taking their health issue into consideration, it makes them more fat and obese.
343
All right, thank you.
344
We're going to move on to a different subject now.
345
Do you use the internet much during the day?
346
Well, I can say yes.
347
I use most of the time during my office on the net because due to the nature of my job, I have to surf the net,
348
find out so many answers to different questions and different subjects.
349
So most of the time during the day, I spend on the net.
350
And what website have you recently visited?
351
well basically I surf Google and Yahoo but yes I can tell you
352
that it was the most recent one I have visited was the Yahoo site
353
when in fact few hours back I had to send an urgent email to my
354
colleague overseas so I switch on the net and I got connected
355
and I composed my own mail and in fact through the mail I sent my my message to my friend
356
hmm and Lala what are some advantages of the internet well I suppose there are far too many to be counted.
357
In fact, internet has made the interaction among the people very close
358
and it brought in fact the people close together and it covered the distances and as you know,
359
probably it is called now that the whole world is called a global village
360
because of all the interactions and connections among the people.
361
And in fact, with only a single click on the net,
362
you can get connected to your people your friends on the other side of the globe you can also send
363
and receive emails
364
and also you can have access to lots of information do
365
people in your country use the internet a lot well I suppose I can say yes more
366
or less yes people use my internet a lot
367
because the youngs mostly use internet for chatting for surfing
368
or sending and receiving emails and of course the organizations and offices use internet for official correspondence
369
all right thank you laleh now i'm going to give you a topic card
370
which i'd like you to talk about for two minutes please take one minute to study the topic card
371
and here's a piece of paper and a pen if you need to write anything down.
372
Thanks.

Về Bài Học Này

Bạn đang luyện tập phát âm tiếng Anh với video "IELTS SPEAKING PART 1 BAND 9: TOP QUESTIONS & BEST ANSWERS IN IELTS EXAM | S1" bằng phương pháp Shadowing — kỹ thuật được Dr. Alexander Arguelles phổ biến rộng rãi.

Hãy nghe kỹ từng câu, chú ý cách người nói nhấn âm và nối âm, rồi đọc lại to và tự tin. Mỗi ngày 15–30 phút luyện đều đặn, bạn sẽ thấy phát âm chuẩn hơn.

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.
