Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: IELTS Speaking Practice Test- Almost Perfect

Let's talk about fashion and style.

How would you describe your style?

Interesting question.

I feel like my style is diverse.

On some days, I just put on a black t-shirt and jeans.

And on some other days, it depends on where I'm going.

I'd like to dress up a little bit, put on some fancy clothes and just go out with it.

What influences your clothing choices?

It depends on my mood and also it depends where I'm going.

So for instance, let's say I'm going to the gym, of course I'm gonna be in like sportswear or

if I'm going to a wedding I have to wear a suit

and tie and if I'm going let's say to a social gathering with my friends,

it's just gonna be like smart casual or casual clothes.

How has your style changed over the years?

A lot actually.

See, when I was a teenager, it was kind of like funky or streetwear,

crazy colors, you know, put on some bracelets, necklaces, crazy hairstyle.

But as you get older, I changed my style a little bit to more elegant, more simple and less crazy colors.

Now let's talk about art and creativity.

What type of art do you prefer?

Actually, it depends because I think art is branched.

So, for instance, art consists of music, theater, cinema, and paintings.

But for me personally, I love art.

And specifically, I love cinema.

Would you like to learn more about art in the future?

Yeah, sure.

I am open for different ideas, different perspectives, especially I'm not interested at the moment in let's say paintings

or modern art but I'm interested in the future to learn more about it.

Now let's talk about relaxation.

How do you relax?

Oh I love relaxing.

There is a lot of ways to relax.

I could just book a massage session

or the most common way

and my favorite way is going to the beach on an

early morning where it's empty no one is there I just grab my stuff go to the beach

and just sit and chill there.

What do you do to manage stress?

Interesting question there's a lot of ways

but the first one I would always use it is just to take deep breath and just slowly exhale

and since I'm a Muslim guy, I read a lot of Quran.

So it helps me calm instantly.

What helps you stay calm when you're very busy?

I think just being busy.

The idea itself, it keeps me calm.

I'm not a very stressed person in general,

but sometimes you get in trouble or in a situation where it makes you just stressed or anxious.

So I try to cope with it and just like remember that it's not the end of the world.

I can just finish the task and be with it.

Describe a time when you help someone solve a problem.

Recently, a friend of mine asked me about what's the best car option to buy

since he was having a lot of issues and problems in his current car.

So I was like, sure, I would give you like a few options.

and the first option was Ford since I own a Ford car and it was a pickup truck.

So I would definitely recommend it for him, this option.

But he told me like I prefer something a little bit smaller and more eco-fuel and efficient.

I said sure and I gave him different options about let's say Toyota is a really good option and Nissan,

they have a variety of options.

I really decided to help him since I have the knowledge about the cars and what's good,

what's bad, what fits his personality because it's really important to have a car that fits your personality

other than the eco-fuel system or the fancy look or the color.

and I really felt happy helping him about the option and he eventually ended up buying a Ford truck.

The reason why he bought this pickup truck because it's a big car

and when you drive a big car in the streets it really helps you

and let's say seeing the view from afar to avoid a car accident or a sudden break

and at the same time people just avoid coming across you

and it's just like you feel like a king driving a big car.

So we've been talking about a friend that you helped solve a problem.

We're going to continue to talk about problem solving.

What qualities make someone good at solving problems?

Ooh, tough one.

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.

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.

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

Thanks very much.

And let's get back to the video.

In my opinion, the age of the person, because the older you get,

the more knowledge and wisdom you get with life experience and interacting with different type of people and personalities and characters.

So in my opinion, I think the age is one of the qualities

or let's say a point where it helps in being qualified in solving a problem.

Why do some people prefer to solve problems alone rather than ask for help?

For me personally, I like to feel that I am an independent person

and try as much as possible to solve a certain problem with my own knowledge

and with my own abilities before I go out and ask someone for help.

For example, once I had a problem about choosing the right major where I wanted to study.

So my parents were actually like trying to suggest for me to study interior design like my brother.

But for me, I was like, no, I prefer to choose something that I love.

So I ended up choosing the media field and mass communication.

Now let's talk about emotional intelligence.

What role does emotional intelligence play in solving problems?

Oh, it's a big role actually.

And it's really important to have the emotional intelligence.

I didn't have it before.

Like when I was younger at my teenage years, also 18, 19.

Because it's a crucial thing to have in helping you solve problems or solving a conflict.

let's say you're having a discussion with a friend of yours.

So if you have the emotional intelligence, you wouldn't change it to become a problem or a big issue between you two.

If you have the emotional intelligence, you would just take it as different perspectives between two friends and discussing and exchanging ideas.

100

So it is really important to learn about it if you don't know a lot about the emotional intelligence.

101

Some people think that the best way to help other people is to be as empathetic as possible, while other people think that you should be brutally honest with people.

102

Which do you think is the best approach?

103

Oh, tough one.

104

Can you just repeat the question again?

105

Some people think that the best way to help others is to be as empathetic as possible, to show empathy, show I understand you.

106

Yeah.

107

and other people think that the best way is to just tell them the truth, even if it hurts their feelings.

108

Okay, it's a tough one, but I think both, they both go hand in hand.

109

Let's say being an empath or having empathy towards someone,

110

it's really good, especially if they are having a major problem in their life or they are trying to solve it.

111

Let's say depression.

112

You can't be brutally honest with someone because you might end up pushing him or her to st.

113

So in this case, you have to be really empathetic or trying to choose your words wisely.

114

But in terms, let's say, someone who is actually rude or not a nice person and someone who is a boy or trying to attack someone,

115

You have to be brutally honest and strict with them and tell them you are doing something wrong.

116

You can't be like that or you can't act this way.

117

So it depends on the context or the situation that this person is in.

118

So let me give you some feedback on your performance.

119

I'll give you feedback on part one, two and three.

120

And then I'll give you feedback on the market criteria on your score.

121

122

133

Your part one was very impressive because a lot of students, when they first do the test,

134

the first few questions, you can tell they're nervous or they are overperforming.

135

Your answers were quite elegant because you weren't trying to show off you weren't trying to give crazy big answers, and you weren't really nervous.

136

You were giving very natural answers, just like speaking to a friend or a colleague.

137

I don't want to use the word simple because the people at home watching might think that simple means basic.

138

I don't mean simple in terms of basic.

139

I mean simple in terms of elegant and simple in terms of effective. So very, very impressive.

140

Your development was spot on.

141

You weren't giving too much and you weren't giving too little.

142

You would answer the question and then you would give enough information for the examiner to really judge your pronunciation, your grammar, your vocabulary, your fluency.

143

And all of that was good.

144

I have no real feedback to give you on that.

145

No, nothing negative really to say.

146

There's some issues with fluency and grammar and vocabulary in it, but we'll come to that in a minute.

147

Part two, what I liked about your part two performance was you picked a real scenario

148

and you attached it to the cue card.

149

So they asked you about a problem you solved.

150

It's quite a vague topic.

151

The reason why they always give something quite vague is so that people, no matter where they are in the world,

152

can attach real scenarios from their own life.

153

And that's what you did talking about your friend.

154

Talking about a real situation allows you to be a lot more fluent because you're not recalling or thinking too much.

155

You're just talking naturally.

156

So again, I'll use the word naturally a lot because that, I think, is the most important thing.

157

And you did that very, very well.

158

However, you did stop at about 1 minute 30.

159

And what I did was I just did this.

160

If the examiner is good, they will give you some cues to help you speak.

161

Because really you need to get to two minutes.

162

And the examiner will always stop you.

163

Once I reach the two minutes.

164

The best piece of advice is just keep talking until they stop you.

165

They will stop you because they want to go home.

166

So they will stop you.

167

It's hard to judge on test day.

168

You spoke for one minute 30, nearly exactly.

169

On test day, you might be a little bit stressed.

170

You don't seem like the type of person that would be stressed, but believe me, even the coolest customers can become stressed.

171

And time warps a little bit when we are stressed.

172

So you might only speak for 45 seconds and think that you've been speaking for two minutes, and then you stop, and the examiner's like, you're basically saying to the examiner,

173

I don't have enough English to complete this. So just keep talking.

174

When I did this, you immediately started talking more fluently again.

175

So you wouldn't really lose any marks or anything because of that.

176

Sometimes when students stop talking and you do this, they are like, uh, and become flustered.

177

More stressed.

178

Yeah.

179

But you made great notes on the page.

180

I would encourage you to do that on test day.

181

The notes are not there to be read from.

182

The notes are there to just help you if you get stuck.

183

So if on test day you're like, oh, I have nothing else to say, quick look at the notes, continue on.

184

Part three was also good.

185

The thing I liked about your part three performance was it seemed as

186

if you were approaching it like a challenge or a game.

187

You were like, oh, this is actually interesting.

188

That's very different from how most students approach it, which is I hate this shit.

189

I don't want to be here.

190

Why is he asking me these questions?

191

I hate this.

192

I love challenge.

193

Exactly.

194

So, what I loved about yours was that you could tell that you find them genuinely interesting.

195

Now, not all questions will be interesting like that, but on test day, I have that approach.

196

It's a little game, it's a challenge, and you did really develop your answers quite well.

197

A lot of the time you show both sides of the argument and everything.

198

So let me give you some feedback on your scores and the marking criteria.

199

So there's four marking criteria.

200

Pronunciation, fluency and coherence, grammar, vocabulary.

201

Pronunciation is divided into two.

202

The first part of pronunciation is, can I understand what you're saying?

203

I can understand 100% of the words that you're saying.

204

You do have a slight accent, but that doesn't matter.

205

You're not being judged on how British or American you sound.

206

That's not what good communication necessarily is.

207

What good communication is is can the person who's listening to you understand what you're saying.

208

So for that, the examiner will give you at least a seven.

209

Then when the examiner is considering should I give him a seven or an eight or a nine, they'll think of these things called higher level pronunciation features.

210

What does that mean?

211

So one of the things that it means is intonation.

212

Sometimes our voices go up.

213

Sometimes our voices go down.

214

What we do in English is we use that to convey meaning.

215

I don't know what it's like in, is Arabic your native language?

216

I don't know if they use intonation to show meaning in a different language.

217

They do.

218

You don't speak with what we would call a monotone, which is basically someone who just speaks with completely flat,

219

but you're so cool that you're not going up or down that much.

220

So that would be one area of improvement.

221

It's not bad.

222

That's not bad.

223

It's just part of my character.

224

It is, yeah.

225

But it is important on the test day.

226

On test day.

227

For general communication, I don't think it is terribly important for you to invest a lot of time in that.

228

But if you wanted a band nine, you would have to work on that a little bit.

229

The quick way of fixing that is to speak with things very passionately.

230

You love talking about fashion.

231

Oh, you know, my style used to be there.

232

You will naturally improve your intonation by adding more emotion.

233

But you seem like you're quite cool and collected.

234

So maybe that's part of your character and that isn't going to.

235

But again, not everybody needs a band nine

236

and it might actually lead to more issues because if you're thinking about being more emotional, it could affect your answers.

237

It could may lead to mistakes because you're thinking in an unnatural way.

238

So I wouldn't necessarily do that.

239

Other thing is connected speech.

240

So when we speak in English, I would not say, do you want a coffee?

241

I'd say, do you want a coffee?

242

You speak more towards the end of saying each word, each syllable individually.

243

Because you speak quite slowly, you don't connect the words together as much as a native English speaker would.

244

Again, not a criticism.

245

For you in your job, I think the most important thing is that you should be understood.

246

So again, if you try and learn lots of connected speech and you start talking, like the way I'm talking right now,

247

I don't talk to my family and friends like this.

248

I'm speaking extremely slowly for me and clearly for the people watching at home.

249

If you heard me speaking to my friends, you wouldn't understand anything.

250

So I think connected speech is also something that is, It could take years to learn.

251

So is it really worth your time to sound more like a native speaker if that is even your goal?

252

Your goal, I think, is to speak English and be understood.

253

So I wouldn't worry about it too much.

254

Because you are not using connected speech and intonation the same way a native English speaker would, I would give you a band eight rather than a band nine.

255

So it's a lower band, but you shouldn't think I'm bad at speaking English.

256

It's actually because you're so clear.

257

Does that make sense?

258

It does make sense, yeah, of course.

259

But I mean band eight is a great...

260

Less than 1% of people get a band nine.

261

Oh, okay.

262

So don't worry about not getting a band nine.

263

I'm fine with that score.

264

Let's talk about fluency and coherence.

265

Coherence means did you answer the question and did you develop the question enough?

266

I don't have any worries about that.

267

Whenever you get asked a question, you can tell you're thinking deeply about the question.

268

You go, hmm, that's actually an interesting question.

269

And that's a good tactic.

270

But sometimes you think so deeply about it that you're thinking about the next thing to say.

271

You don't have a fluency problem because your English is bad.

272

Some people do.

273

So I'm sure you know people, your friends or family, that don't speak English to the level

274

that you do and they're searching for the correct adjective or the correct tense, you're not doing that at all.

275

You are doing what we call searching for ideas.

276

Again, I don't think it is a huge issue.

277

You're quite a unique candidate in that if we try to make you better, it might make you worse.

278

Yeah, I don't understand that.

279

If we tell you, don't think, and just speak the first thing that pops into your head.

280

That would be my advice for most students.

281

But for you, I think that your style of communication actually is improved by thinking deeply about it.

282

But on test day, I wouldn't try and think of the absolute best idea.

283

I would think of what's the easiest idea for me to talk about.

284

And that will improve your fluency a little bit.

285

I would say your fluency is at a band eight because of that reason that you do pause quite a lot.

286

And if I give you a bad nine, everybody in the comments will be like, he pauses too.

287

But the key for people back home is that what it says in the marking criteria is unnatural pausing.

288

I've gotten to know you today, so I know that the pausing is not unnatural.

289

It's actually who you are.

290

But an examiner on test day doesn't know you at all, and they might think, he doesn't know the right adjective.

291

He doesn't know the right tense.

292

For most people in the world, a band eight is extremely high and is good enough to move to any country in the world.

293

Band nine is just showing off.

294

I'm humble.

295

Grammar, you have enough grammatical structures to talk about anything.

296

So some people, if you ask them to talk about the past and compare it to the future,

297

they don't know really how to do it or compare two things that you have no issues whatsoever.

298

You do make little grammatical errors sometimes.

299

So for example, this is a mistake that I actually make, more simple instead of simpler.

300

Or you said open for instead of open to, so like a little preposition error.

301

But native English speakers make those little slips too.

302

I make those little slips.

303

So what it says in the marking criteria for band nine is the mistakes

304

that you make are slips like that and they're very infrequent.

305

I think your grammar is at a band nine.

306

Same with your vocabulary.

307

Sometimes you could use a word that is a little bit more advanced.

308

If I give you the advice of improve the complexity, you might make more mistakes.

309

I think you're on the border of a band nine for vocabulary.

310

So I think overall you're at a band like 8.5.

311

As I said before, band nine is less than 1%.

312

But 8.5, I think, is top 2 or 3%.

313

Not of speakers in the whole world, but of people who do the IELTS test.

314

I think people can learn a lot from your performance because it's so different to what most people do.

315

It's unique.

316

It is unique.

317

It is unique.

318

So yeah, thank you very much.

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.
