If you're taking the Cellpip exam,
6
you're going to see a question where you have to describe an unusual situation, okay?
7
And you have one minute to answer the question.
8
Okay, this is on the speaking part of the exam.
9
In this lesson I'm going to teach you how you should answer this question.
10
I'm making a lot of lessons on Cellpip so
11
if you want more make sure you click that subscribe button right down there.
12
Okay so here's the question.
13
You are walking through a park when suddenly you see a strange animal.
14
You call the zoo to see if they have lost an animal.
15
Give a detailed description of the animal.
16
Okay, so there's our question.
17
So here's the animal.
18
What are we going to say?
19
How are we going to describe this animal?
20
Well, we can use a lot.
21
We can talk about a lot of things, right?
22
We can talk about all of this.
23
Its size, color, shape, its age is the animal old?
24
Is it a baby animal?
25
Does it have special features?
26
Is the animal moving?
27
Is the animal aggressive?
28
Okay, we can talk about all these different things to give a good detailed description of the animal.
29
Okay, now if the situation is something else like a food
30
or a product or something like
31
that then you could you could use uh things like this you could talk about its smell
32
color texture substance is it uh bread is it meat is it cheese is it healthy is it unhealthy
33
is it fresh or is it stale is it cooked or uncooked okay there's so many different ways
34
we can describe an object or a food or an animal okay
35
so you just need to use your imagination and
36
and think about some of these things okay so here's the animal
37
so what are we going to say well we're not going
38
to talk about the picture okay we're not going to say in the background I can see some trees.
39
Okay, we're not going to do that in this question because that's a different question on the CELPIP exam.
40
Okay, that's where we have to describe a picture on the left side, on the right side, in the background, foreground.
41
Okay, I've made a few lessons on how to answer that question, so you can go watch those.
42
But in this question, we're just using descriptive words.
43
We're describing this animal with as much detail as we can.
44
Okay, so first, we're going to give a brief introduction to the situation.
45
Okay, so you could say, hi, I'm in Prince's Park right now,
46
and I see a very strange animal that might have escaped from the zoo.
47
Okay, that's just a very good short introduction to the situation.
48
Let's say the question asks you about a piece of furniture in a furniture store
49
and you have to call your wife or your husband and give a detailed description of that.
50
Okay, then you could just say, Hi, Mary.
51
I'm at the furniture store right now, and there's a very, really interesting,
52
strange-looking table here, but I think you might like it.
53
Then, after the introduction, you start describing the object with as much detail as you can, okay?
54
So, first, introduction.
55
Then, the introduction only takes like 5 or 10 seconds.
56
Then, you're going to give a detailed description, which is going to take, I don't know, maybe like 40 seconds?
57
Because this question is only a minute, right?
58
And you only have 30 seconds to prepare your answer.
59
So when you're thinking about it, just take a few notes.
60
Size, color, texture, smell.
61
Okay, so that way when you're speaking you can look down at your paper and say, oh yeah, what does it smell like?
62
How big is it?
63
Is it dangerous?
64
Or all of those questions.
65
You can just look down at your notes.
66
Okay, so after the detailed description then we're going to give just
67
a short conclusion okay you can just say at the end
68
of your call to the zoo you can say have you lost an animal like this okay
69
that would be a good conclusion so maybe like five seconds introduction five
70
or ten seconds conclusion and then in the middle you're going to be talking for like 40
71
or 45 seconds just all about the detail remember you need to give as much detail as you can okay
72
so let's take a look at this
73
and let's give it a try okay I'm going to have to answer this question
74
or to show you how I would answer this question So if you want to try first,
75
then click on the pause button right down there.
76
And then after you try, then you can listen to my answer to this question.
77
Okay, here's my stopwatch.
78
I'm going to start right now.
79
Hi, I'm in Prince's Park right now, and I see a very strange looking animal.
80
I think it may have escaped from the zoo.
81
It's a really big animal.
82
It's about the size of a lion.
83
It has four legs and a long tail.
84
And it has a very strange head.
85
Its head is a snake.
86
And it has a long forked tongue sticking out of its mouth.
87
And also it has a pretty long striped neck.
88
Now the front legs and the main part of its body are spotted like a leopard.
89
but the back legs and back of its body are just plain brown fur.
90
Now its feet are very strange.
91
It has the feet of a goat with split hooves.
92
The animal doesn't look like it's very aggressive, but it looks like it could be dangerous.
93
So I'm just wondering if you've lost an animal like this.
94
Okay, perfect.
95
That was a minute.
96
That was a minute long.
97
Okay, so that's an example of what I would say, you know, I described its head,
98
its tongue, its body, Spotted over here.
99
It's back legs.
100
Okay, it's feet Split hooves like a goat long tail.
101
Okay, so I think I got most of the detail In one minute.
102
How did you answer it?
103
Would you say anything different than I said?
104
Anyway, so so those are my tips for answering this question
105
Just start with a brief introduction and then give lots of detail, then just a brief conclusion.
106
Now you can practice this at home.
107
Just practice describing any objects around your house.
108
What do they look like?
109
What color?
110
What is their shape?
111
What is their size?
112
What is there?
113
Just any kind of descriptive words you can use.
114
I think if you practice doing that a lot at home, you're going to ace this question on the exam.
115
Okay, so let's do some homework.
116
I want you to do the same situation.
117
Okay, an animal has escaped from the zoo,
118
and you need to describe it to the person you're talking with at the zoo on the phone.
119
Okay, so you need to use as much detailed descriptive language as you can to describe this animal.
120
Now this kind of tail, this is called a forked tail.
121
Just like the snake had a forked tongue, this is a forked tail.
122
So anyway, let me know your answer down there in the comments
123
and I'll see you over in the next episode of Mad English TV.
124
Take care.
125
Thank you.

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。
