Today we're going to look at the IELTS part two sample answer for Describe the first paid work that you ever did.
3
Let's have a look.
4
The very first paid work I did was probably one night.
5
Very first paid work.
6
This T in first can disappear.
7
Very first paid work.
8
The very first paid work I did was probably one night.
9
probably becomes probably probably one night one night one ends with n
10
and night begins with n so they connect together probably one night probably one night
11
when I helped out at a restaurant when I I.
12
Those words connect together.
13
When I helped out at a restaurant.
14
Helped out at a restaurant.
15
Watch what happens when those D's and T's are spoken quickly.
16
Helped out at a restaurant.
17
Helped out at a restaurant.
18
Helped out at a.
19
Helped out at a restaurant.
20
Restaurant is written
21
restaurant but that syllable in the middle disappears restaurant helped out at a restaurant
22
that my aunt owned the word that just turns into the helped out at a restaurant that my aunt owned
23
this word aunt a lot of people pronounce it aunt and a lot of people pronounce it aunt
24
personally i've always pronounced it aunt but both pronunciations are acceptable that my aunt owned.
25
I must have been about 15 at the time.
26
I must have been.
27
So if I speak very quickly, must have been turns into must have been.
28
I must have been.
29
Must have been.
30
If I speak a little bit quickly, then it becomes must have been.
31
Not must have been, but must have been.
32
But when it's very fast, it turns into must have.
33
Must have been about 15 at the time.
34
about 15 that T in about turns into a glottal stop at the time at becomes reduced
35
and at the connect together into one sound at the at
36
the 15 at the time the restaurant had a bar the restaurant had a bar.
37
So again, we reduce restaurant to restaurant, and the final T disappears before H.
38
Then D in had a connects to the next syllable.
39
Had a bar.
40
The restaurant had a bar. And that night.
41
The D in and connects to TH, and the T in that becomes a glottal stop.
42
And that night, and that night some rich guy had a birthday party with a ton of people.
43
Had a, had a birthday party.
44
We would connect had a together into what sounds like one word.
45
Had a, had a birthday party there with a ton of people.
46
The same thing with with a, with a ton of people.
47
With a ton of people.
48
Of here can also change depending on how fast I say it.
49
Ton of people.
50
Ton of people.
51
Ton of people.
52
And so my aunt asked if I would help out.
53
And so, that D in and disappears.
54
And so my aunt asked if I would help out.
55
Now that D in would help stays present, but it's kind of tapped.
56
If I would help out. Would help. Would help.
57
It's a very, very light tap with my tongue on the roof of my mouth.
58

60

68
The t in just disappears.
69
It doesn't turn into anything.
70
It just goes out of the word entirely.
71
Just brought up.
72
just brought up.
73
Now that T in brought turns into a tap.
74
Just brought up, brought up.
75
Just brought up extra chairs from the basement and took out the garbage.
76
Basement, basement.
77
There's a glottal stop instead of a T.
78
Basement and took out the garbage.
79
Now and took, we make that D a little longer
80
and took and took
81
and took out the garbage out the connects together out the
82
garbage out the garbage some people might say this as a glottal stop first out the out the
83
so a glottal stop before the th sound other people would link it directly together out the garbage out the garbage
84
personally i do the glottal stop first so i do a full glottal stop then the th out the garbage
85
took out the garbage little things like that little the t in little always turns into a tap little things,
86
little things like that.
87
If I speak quickly, then the K in like turns into a glottal stop before TH.
88

100
That T in it becomes a glottal stop.
101
So it was a, and then we connect was a together.
102
So it was a nice surprise.
103
And we connect nice and surprise together because of the s sound that those words share.
104
So it was a nice surprise when she handed me some cash at the end of the night.
105
At the end.
106
So we connect the at the into at the end.
107
At the end of the night.
108
And of again can turn into end of end of the,
109
or it could turn into end of the, end of the night.
110

111
The very first paid work I did was probably one night when I helped out at a restaurant that my aunt owned.
112
I must have been about 15 at the time.

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
