1
all right
2
so welcome to your speaking test uh first of all can
3
you tell me your name uh my name is phu look
4
long you can call me long for short okay for sure
5
so this will be your mock test
6
which will be divided into three different parts
7
and i'll try my best to mimic the real ielts exam as much as i could okay
8
so in the first part i'm gonna ask some several questions
9
about yourself let's talk a bit about color what is your favorite color well
10
I don't think I have a specific favorite color.
11
I practice art, so I have learned myself, I have trained myself to fall in love with like a whole spectrum of color,
12
you know, but I'm actually quite bad at coloring.
13
So I think that normally for my color picks, when I do art, I just go for very simple color combinations, like complimentary, for example.
14
Okay.
15
So do you usually wear clothes in your favorite color? uh for clothing that's a different story
16
because my skin tone is kind of dark
17
so i have to specifically go for colors that kind of flatter it
18
so for me it would be very muted colors uh i don't usually go for vibrant ones
19
because it also doesn't suit my vibe right
20
so i don't want to like carry myself in a way
21
that's a bit you know not who i am yeah
22
so are there any colors
23
that have a special meaning in your country um i mean
24
the obvious answer would be red uh you would see
25
that ubiquitously in ted holiday
26
and in very uh you know jubilant occasions of vietnam like wedding ceremonies
27
or uh other celebrations you know i think red kind of
28
you know in vietnamese culture means something like not just jubilation
29
but also joy and prosperity
30
so that's why it's like a very common pick for those occasions yeah okay
31
so do you think different types of people like different colors
32
um that's a pretty interesting one i've never really thought about
33
that i think people like naturally gravitate towards different colors uh
34
based on like historically how they have like get exposed to them you know uh for example
35
if someone you know as a child uh
36
and as someone as a child they learned art
37
and they tended to use very vibrant colors maybe they would grow up
38
and picking those colors more but
39
if someone has gone through like a very i would say
40
difficult period in their lives then maybe they would have the tendency to pick uh more muted
41
or like you know just monotone colors just to reflect their uh their minds a bit better okay
42
so how about in terms of personality um i think joyful
43
people bubbly personalities uh they go for um they go for vibrant colors a lot
44
but having said that uh there's still some exception where people get experimental
45
and they they want to try out with uh you know color schemes
46
that are not really showy not really flashy you know i do respect their picks
47
but i think that you know it's best to to go for the colors that describe your personality the clearest to people.
48
Okay, for sure.
49
So let's move on to the second part of the test.
50
In the second part, I'm going to give you a topic.
51
You have two minutes to talk about it and one minute for preparation in advance.
52
And here we go.
53
Describe a photograph of yourself that you like.
54
Okay, now let's start.
55
Okay, so I would like to preface firstly that I don't usually take photographs of myself.
56
And I don't often let people take photographs of me mainly
57
because I'm quite insecure about my look but um
58
when it comes to like this photograph specifically I kind of like
59
that so I think I'm gonna tell you about it now
60
it's actually the photograph that I'm using as my Facebook avatar um it depicts me and my sister
61
looking at a glass ceiling
62
and in the photograph is basically the reflection of us from
63
the glass I took this photo on our trip to Singapore
64
and Malaysia it was on a tour
65
and it was also our first time traveling abroad right so this photograph is very special to me because it's
66
kind of it's kind of connected to a lot of memories not only is
67
that the first time that I travel abroad but it's also the time when I think I've learned the most about myself.
68
Right.
69
So traveling abroad, you know, kind of brings with you like a lot of anxiety because you are going to a totally different land.
70
You just don't know the culture and you're not sure if the people that would understand language, although I've spoken English for a long time.
71
And, you know, I know people that also speak English, but, you know, during that trip, I kind of learned that,
72
you know, when you are talking to native speakers of the language, you don't usually have to like show yourself as much,
73
showcase yourself, or like try to present yourself as someone who's good in English, but you more likely are going to focus on communication.
74
right and so whenever i look at
75
that photo i kind of remind myself of that lesson
76
that you know whenever i try to uh impress my students for example for the record i'm teaching english
77
so i tend to do that at times look at
78
that photo and i you know kind of relearn
79
that lesson okay that's it okay thank you very much
80
so how do your students react to the photos when you show them
81
they usually mistake my sister for my girlfriend
82
which i always have to clarify you know i mean she looks
83
so much younger than me i just kind of i it's
84
hard for me to comprehend why they would make such a mistake okay all right
85
so that is the end of the second part of the test now let's move on to the third part
86
when i'm asking you some related questions to the topic we just discussed a little bit
87
and since we just talked about you know photograph yourself
88
so let's talk a bit about photographs
89
so do you think it is easy to take good photographs
90
um i mean as an artist i kind of tempted to say
91
that it is because you know there's kind of this tension between artists who paint pictures
92
and photographers who just take photos
93
that is like we are the people who are creating true art not them
94
but you know after trying out for photography for like um
95
for a decent amount time I've gotten my fair share of experience in
96
that I did realize that you know photography also comes with all the sophistication
97
that it comes with of painting you still have to prepare
98
for the lighting you still have to make sure the composition is right
99
and not to mention
100
that you also have to like pay very acute attention to
101
the technical details like choosing the right lens for the
102
that you want to take right and um
103
when you take photographs you just don't have that uh
104
that leeway with the scene you know as an artist you
105
can set up the scene however you want like basically pull it out an image from your head
106
but for photography you have to wait for the right moment
107
and that is actually what makes street photography
108
so fascinating to me you know
109
because you always have to be there be present at the moment
110
and you have to make sure that your camera is ready when there's an interesting snap.
111
So what are the pros and cons of digital photography?
112
All right.
113
So I think that nowadays the line between digital photography
114
and the more traditional method to produce photos have been kind of blurred
115
because nowadays we have a lot of softwares
116
that allow us kind of facilitate the process for us to create any kind of look that we wish for our photos.
117
You can like set up a more traditional lighting setting in Adobe Lightroom and you can,
118
you know, just retouch a photo however you like, as long as you are aware of the,
119
you know, the potential artificial quality that might come with over-editing a photo, then I think you should be fine.
120
So that's the pros of digital photography, that is that you have a lot of avenue for editing your photos nowadays.
121
But when it comes to the cons, I think that to some people,
122
especially those who kind of identify themselves as like true artists, it kind of takes away,
123
you know, taking a photo digitally and edit them on a software
124
and kind of takes away the fun of the process, right?
125
And it's not like they can't do the more traditional methods,
126
stick to conventionality anymore, but it's more like they are forced into digital photography nowadays, or else they won't get any customer.
127
They won't produce photos quickly enough.
128
So it's all about efficiency, right?
129
Yeah, it's more like that nowadays.
130
So should people share photographs of themselves online?
131
I think that they have every right to do that, really.
132
I don't think there's a law that ban people from sharing photographs of themselves online.
133
Well, maybe say for the cases when they infringe or violate some rules,
134
terms, and conditions of the platform they're going to be posting photos on.
135
I think that it's something that should be encouraged really, because it not only promotes bodily positivity,
136
it also like a very effective way to show yourself to the world.
137
There are still trolls online, which you should be aware of.
138
But generally, I think people are pretty nice on the Internet.
139
I see.
140
Okay, so what can an image be worth a thousand words?
141
what can an image be worth a thousand words well um this is one from when when right okay so
142
um this is actually really tricky um i'm not
143
so much into literature you know
144
so yeah let me approach this in a slightly more scientific way so neuroscience from the neuroscience perspective
145
i would say that a picture contains a lot of different information right
146
so when you look at a picture you're seeing not only the object
147
but also the kind of environment it is it is in uh the condition weather condition lighting conditions all
148
that um around surrounding the object and you see the condition of the object itself
149
so for example if you were taking photo of a rusty cup a rusted cup then you see
150
that right there on the photo right and all
151
that coming right into your brain in one shot with just the image right it's uh something that
152
if you take the linguistic equivalent of it it would be
153
a few different a few long paragraphs right i mean you have seen like um a lot of examples of that
154
when uh in a novel a um a writer needs to write a very long paragraph just just to describe the scene,
155
but on the movie adaptation of that, it's only like a three minute footage, a three second footage.
156
Right.
157
So yeah, I think in that case,
158
you know, sometimes scientifically saying the image kind of communicates information more efficiently.
159
It can manage to do that in a very short span of time.
160
All right.
161
I see.
162
So one last question.
163
So is a photograph a reliable form of identification?
164
If you asked me this question like three years ago, I would have answered yes, but nowadays not so much.
165
So we are being threatened with this introduction of this new technology that is totally harmless called defake.
166
And we've seen a lot of cases over the past few years of people using that technology
167
to force the appearance of authorities and making fake calls to the citizens, right?
168
To try to scam for money.
169
Right.
170
And they've actually pulled that through a lot of times.
171
So yeah, it's a lot riskier nowadays to use it as a form of identification.
172
I would dare say that tech giants would consider like completely removing face identification
173
from their products in the future in fear of you know
174
bad people using the defect technology to harm the customers yeah okay very nice answer
175
so i think
176
that is all i need to hear thank you very much for your outstanding performance um i think
177
if i don't know if i don't know if i don't know if i don't know like that or not.
178
I'm sure I'm ready to get to 8-9 because I'm not sure that
179
if I can't be able to get
180
that I can't be able to find one place I can't find the amount of money
181
that you can find the first one is the fluency and coherence then of course, I think that that is the only thing that we need to have to get to
182
if we don't want to encounter a question to tell you
183
that you can do that it was
184
so good for you to be able to talk about one thing you know it's not a dollar bill you know
185
go to get out there the next thing you know it's
186
about you know this is a little bit there's a lot of I think it is
187
I think that's really I think that's where it's about I
188
can't think the we can't I think that's not there's no
189
So that's the fact that the question is that it can be because of the question and of course,
190
so that's the thing So I feel that I'm going to do the best thing that I can do fluency
191
is that there is a lot of the question
192
that it's not it's not there so you can do
193
that the question is that it's not it's not so much like you are a student artists at least of course
194
that's the one who loves
195
I don't care
196
in this topic, you know, to definitely get an eye for me.
197
All right.
198
Thank you.

本課簡介

在這一節課中,您將通過模模擬實的雅思口語考試,進行英語口語練習。課程將分為三個部分,目的是幫助您提升口語表達能力。您將練習自我介紹、回答關於顏色偏好的問題,並探討不同顏色在文化中的意義。通過這樣的練習,您不僅能提高英語口語技能,還能鍛鍊思維的靈活性,以更自信地面對現實生活中的對話。

關鍵詞彙與短語

  • 顏色 (color) - 描述事物的特徵。
  • 我沒有特別喜歡的顏色 (I don't think I have a specific favorite color) - 表達對顏色偏好的靈活性。
  • 膚色 (skin tone) - 討論穿衣與膚色的協調。
  • 節慶 (occasion) - 指代特定的慶祝活動。

練習技巧

為了提高您的英語口語能力,在進行這段影子跟讀的時候,請注意以下幾點:

  • 跟隨語速: 在觀看影片時,儘量模仿說話者的語速和語調。一開始可以慢慢跟讀,逐步提升到與影片相同的速度。
  • 重複聽說: 可以多次回放影片的某一段,直到您對其中的表達方式和發音感到熟悉。
  • 注意情感表達: 當您模仿說話者時,不僅要關注單詞,還要理解他們的情感和語氣,用您的聲音去傳達類似的情感。
  • 進行角色扮演: 嘗試站在說話者的角度,用他們的詞彙和語氣與想像中的對話者互動,這有助於您更自然地使用語言。
  • 分析反饋: 在影子跟讀後,錄下您的聲音並進行比較,找到需要改進的地方。

通過這些英語口語練習和英語影子跟讀技巧,您將逐步提升自己的口語能力,為雅思考試做好充分準備。

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have learned · i've never really thought · has gone
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的will be divided · are forced · should be encouraged
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物people that would · people who are · those who kind

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。
