Hi everyone, welcome to IELTS Time.
2
Today we're looking at the part one topic, family.
3
You'll watch two mock interviews featuring Finn and Blondie, and then we'll break down some useful vocabulary and expressions you can use in your own answers.
4
Let's get started with Finn.
5
Do you have a large family or a small family?
6
I'd say I have a fairly small family.
7
There are four of us all together, my parents, my younger sister and me.
8
Most of my relatives live in different cities, so growing up it was usually just the four of us at home.
9
Who do you get on best with in your family?
10
Why?
11
I'd probably say my sister.
12
Even though she's a couple of years younger than me, we have a lot in common.
13
We both enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and talking about random things, so it's easy to spend time together.
14
We rarely argue, which is a bonus.
15
How much time do you usually spend with your family?
16
Since I'm at university, I don't spend as much time with them as I used to.
17
During the week, I usually just give my parents a quick call in the evening.
18
If I'm home for the weekend or during the holidays, we have dinner together every day and catch up properly.
19
What do you usually do together as a family?
20
Nothing too fancy, to be honest.
21
We normally have dinner together, watch a film on Friday nights, or go out for lunch at the weekend.
22
Sometimes we also go for a walk in a nearby park if the weather's nice.
23
I think it's those simple moments that bring us closer.
24
Do all of your family members live in the same house?
25
Not anymore.
26
My parents and sister still live together, but I live in student accommodation near my university.
27
I go back home whenever I have a break from university, so I still get to see them quite often.
28
Do you have a large extended family?
29
Yes, I'd say I do.
30
I have quite a few aunts, uncles, and cousins on both sides of the family.
31
We don't see each other very often because we live quite far apart, but we usually get together during major holidays or family celebrations.
32
Do you get on well with your family?
33
Why or why not?
34
Yes, I do.
35
We're very supportive of one another, and I know I can always rely on them if I have a problem.
36
Of course, we don't agree on everything, especially when it comes to small everyday issues, but we always manage to talk things through instead of holding grudges.
37
Why is family important to you?
38
For me, family is important because they're the people who know me best and support me no matter what.
39
Whenever I'm feeling stressed about university or uncertain about something, they're always there to encourage me and give me honest advice.
40
Knowing I have that kind of support gives me a lot of confidence.
41
That brings us to the end of Finn's interview.
42
Next, let's hear from Blondie answering the same set of questions from the perspective of a working professional.
43
Do you have a large family or a small family?
44
I come from quite a small family.
45
It's just my parents, my younger brother and me.
46
Even though I've moved out and live on my own now, we've always been very close, so the distance hasn't really changed our relationship.
47
Who do you get on best with in your family?
48
Why?
49
I'd probably say my dad.
50
We've always had a really good relationship and that's only grown stronger over the years.
51
We have similar interests, especially when it comes to sports and current affairs, so we can chat for hours without running out of things to talk about.
52
He's also the person I usually turn to when I need practical advice, because he always has a calm, sensible way of looking at things.
53
How much time do you usually spend with your family?
54
Since I work full-time and have my own place, I don't get to see them as often as I used to.
55
I usually go back home every couple of weeks and spend the weekend with them.
56
We also keep in touch almost every day through our family group chat, so we never really lose touch.
57
What do you usually do together as a family?
58
When we're all together, we usually cook a big dinner and catch up over a long meal.
59
If the weather's nice, we'll go for a walk or stop by a local cafe for a coffee.
60
Nothing too exciting, but it's a great way for us to relax and spend some quality time together.
61
Do all of your family members live in the same house?
62
No, not anymore.
63
My parents and my brother still live in my childhood home, but I moved out a couple of years ago to be closer to work.
64
Living on my own has taught me to be more independent, but I still enjoy going home whenever I get the chance.
65
Do you have a large extended family?
66
Yes, I do.
67
My mum is one of six siblings, so I have quite a few aunts, uncles and cousins.
68
We don't all see each other very often because everyone lives in different places, but whenever we get together for holidays or family celebrations, it's always lively and a lot of fun.
69
Do you get on well with your family?
70
Why or why not?
71
Yes, I do.
72
In fact, I think we get on even better now that I'm living independently.
73
Having a bit of space has made us appreciate the time we spend together more, and we all respect each other's opinions.
74
We still tease one another from time to time, but it's all in good fun, and I genuinely enjoy being around them.
75
Why is family important to you?
76
To me, family is my biggest support system.
77
Living on my own and building my career can be stressful at times,
78
so it's reassuring to know there's always someone I can turn to for advice or encouragement.
79
No matter what's going on in my life, they're always there for me.
80
And that gives me a real sense of security.
81
That brings us to the end of Blondie's interview.
82
Throughout these answers, we heard a range of natural expressions for talking about family relationships communication and personal experiences.
83
Let's take a closer look at some of these phrases
84
and explore how you can use them naturally in your own speaking answers.
85

91
You could also use it when describing differences between people.
92
Although my brother and I have different personalities, we still have a lot in common, especially our sense of humour.

This phrase is useful because it helps you explain why you are close to someone, instead of simply saying, we have a good relationship.
94
Catch up.
95
When you catch up with someone, you talk to them and find out what's been happening in their life, especially when you haven't seen each other for a while.

105
You could also use it in a workplace context.
106
If there is a misunderstanding between colleagues, it's better to talk things through rather than ignore the problem.
107
This phrase is more natural than simply saying solve the problem because it focuses on the communication process.
108
Hold grudges.
109
To hold a grudge means to continue feeling angry or upset with someone because of something that happened in the past.

113
You could also use it when describing your personality.
114
I try not to hold grudges because I think it's better to forgive people and move on.
115
This is more precise than simply saying stay angry because it suggests that the negative feeling continues over time.
116
Tease one another To tease someone means to make jokes about them or make playful comments, usually in a friendly way.
117
This expression is useful for describing close relationships because people often tease the people they feel comfortable with.

So make sure the context shows that it is friendly.
123
Live quite far apart.
124
This means that two people or groups of people live in different places, with a significant distance between them.

127
You could also use it when talking about a friend.
128
My best friend and I live quite far apart now, but we still keep in touch regularly.
129
Notice that far apart focuses on the distance between people or places.
130
So instead of simply saying, my relatives live in different cities, you can say, my relatives live quite far apart when the distance itself is important.
131
Turn to someone for advice.
132
This means asking someone for help, guidance or an opinion when you have a problem or need to make a decision.

推薦影片

這部影片適合誰?

無論是備考雅思口語Part 1的中級學習者,還是想通過看YouTube學英語提升日常表達的同學,這部影片都很實用。它聚焦家庭話題,對話貼近生活,能幫助你掌握真實場景中的回答邏輯,同時積累可直接複用的句型,非常適合用來練習shadow speech(影子跟讀法)。

值得借鑑的詞彙與表達

影片中的對話包含多個高分表達,建議摘抄學習:

  • get on well with:與……相處融洽。如“我和家人相處得很好”可譯為“I get on well with my family”。
  • hold grudges:記仇。例句“我們從不記仇”可表達為“We never hold grudges”。
  • catch up properly:好好聊聊。用於描述久別後深入交流的場景,如“週末回家和家人好好聊聊”。
  • fairly small:相當小(比“very small”更自然),可替換“small”提升表達豐富度。

如何練好發音?

影片中說話者的發音清晰,語速適中,適合作為提高英語發音的素材。練習時可關注以下兩點:
1. 連讀現象:如“a couple of”中的“a”與“couple”連讀,發音類似“əˈkʌpl”,避免逐詞生硬發音。
2. 語調起伏:回答問題時,句尾語調下降表示確定,如“we rarely argue”,而在列舉時語調上升,如“watching movies, playing video games, and talking about random things”。
建議使用shadowing site(影子跟讀法網站)同步跟讀,模仿節奏和重音,提升口語流暢度。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:

結構影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事I've moved · We've always had · has taught
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物argue, which is · people who know
比較級 -er than / more … than — 比較兩個事物younger than · more natural than · more precise than
最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的my biggest · My best · my closest

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
