1
And can I have the task card back?
2
Sure.
3
So, listen, I've just finished part two of my IELTS speaking test.
4
Now it's time for part three, the deeper conversation.
5
But what if I don't know what to say?
6
How do I get time to think?
7
Oh my, what if I don't understand?
8
What kind of questions will they ask me?
9
How can I develop my answers?
10
Let's find out.
11
Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy and the YouTube channel English Speaking Success, where you become a confident speaker of English.
12
Now, the truth is, all parts of the IELTS speaking test are challenging.
13
Well, and fun, right?
14
But part three is critical because that is where the examiner will decide if you're a five or a six, a six or a seven, and so on, right?
15
So it's really important you understand this.
16
The examiner really controls this part of the test to make sure they push you to your limit
17
so they are sure about your level.
18
So they will make up questions based on your answers.
19
They will cut you off and move on to another question to test more things.
20
And all of this is fine.
21
Expect it.
22
The biggest and most exciting part of part three is that you can't really prepare your answers, right?
23
Because you don't know where the conversation is going to go.
24
So topic research is good, but flexibility is much more important.
25
In this video, I will tell you some of the most common types of questions and how to answer them,
26
as well as ideas on how to develop your answers, which is really important in part three.
27
Finally, I'll show you how to create time for yourself to think.
28
Okay, sound good?
29
Great.
30
Oh, do remember, you can get the PDF of all of these phrases clicking on the link below for free.
31
Okay, let's begin.
32
Right, now we're going to look at three very common question types for part three and how to answer them.
33
Okay, the first one, how has something changed in recent years?
34
Here, the examiner is testing your knowledge and ability to talk about comparisons of the past and the present.
35
Okay, now you could just start talking.
36
I'm a big fan of going with the flow,
37
but you can also use some of these phrases to help you structure your answer and begin confidently.
38
Don't just memorize these, use them flexibly.
39
There's lots of combinations.
40
Right.
41
For example, we can say in the past we used to da-da-da-da.
42
This has changed a lot recently.
43
Now we usually da-da-da-da.
44
Okay, three phrases, one after the other, simple structure. Or something similar.
45
Previously, we used to...
46
This has changed a lot recently.
47
Nowadays, we tend to...
48
Okay, so what you're doing here is you're using a past tense, present perfect, connecting past to the present, and then the present tense.
49
So you're showing a wide range of tenses.
50
With the past, you could say previously we used to, previously we would, or previously we did.
51
So you can change, chop and change and mix it up a little bit.
52
Remember, build your flexibility.
53
So, for example, if the question were, how has shopping changed in recent years?
54
I might say, previously, we used to go into the town center and buy things in real shops,
55
brick and mortar shops, but that has changed.
56
And nowadays, we still go to the shops, but we often buy things online because they are cheaper.
57
Okay.
58
Nice answer.
59
But remember in part three, you do need to develop your answers more.
60
So here, let me give you one of my secret methods, the OR method, the O-R-E method.
61
Opinion, reason, example.
62
The example is the key it.
63
That's where you can really give extra information and show off your vocabulary.
64
Okay.
65
So you can see in my previous example, I gave my opinion that we used to go to shops.
66
Now we shop online.
67
And the reason because it's cheaper.
68
Now I can add an example to develop the answer.
69
But be careful, because what you might think is, oh, I can say something like, well, yeah, for example, when I buy clothes,
70
I go to the shops and try them on.
71
And then I go and buy that item online.
72
That's not great because that's a personal example.
73
You're kind of going back to part one, which is about you.
74
Here, try not to be personal.
75
It's okay if you give one or two examples that are personal, but think generally.
76
Think globally around the world and try to get a more general or global example.
77
For example, When many young people buy clothes, they go to the shops like Gap to try them on,
78
and then they go to the Gap website and buy that item online.
79
Think generally, think globally for your examples.
80
Also think about examples from the news, something you've read or seen on the internet or the TV, if you still watch TV,
81
like, I read the other day, actually, that one shop, Gap,
82
I think, reported that their online sales of clothes had actually surpassed in-shop purchases.
83
OK, so your example doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't have to be true.
84
I don't remember the details, but that's OK.
85
It's about expressing your English language and developing your answer.
86
So you've got or opinion, reason, example.
87
If you're example, think globally, generally, or something in the news.
88
Let's move on.
89
Right.
90
Question type number two, very common.
91
How will something change in the future?
92
And here the examiner is testing.
93
Testing what?
94
Yeah.
95
examiner is testing if you can compare things in the present to the future
96
so thinking of the language of comparison present tenses future tenses possibility speculating all of that
97
again remember you can just start talking or you could use some of these phrases that might help you along.
98
For example, at the moment, the situation is, and I think in the future we will,
99
or right now, the situation is, I suspect in the future we might.
100
So instead of will, you could be using might as a possibility, a possible future.
101
or today it seems to me that I guess in the future we may,
102
okay, I guess, I reckon, I suspect you can change might for may or could.
103
You can change will for going to.
104
You can all these possibilities, right?
105
Chop it up, change it around, build your flexibility.
106
Here's an example.
107
On the same topic of shopping, how will shopping change in the future?
108
Well, at the moment, the situation is we buy many clothes online as well as in the shops.
109
I suspect that in the future, we might buy almost everything online.
110
Got it?
111
Now, develop your answer.
112
Can you think of an example here?
113
Remember, general, global, in the news.
114
Here's one, and I got from seeing a mobile app.
115
So the other day, right, I saw a new app where you can upload your image of yourself and add clothes to it.
116
So you can see if the clothes match you or if they suit you, right?
117
And I think this means that we will buy more
118
and more clothes online because there will be no need to go to the shops to try them on.
119
And there you have it.
120
Remember, the examiner might cut you off, doesn't matter.
121
It means they've heard enough and they want to push you in a different direction.
122
So relax about it.
123
Okay, let's move on.
124
Oh, before we do, if you are enjoying this, please remember, do like the video and subscribe to the channel.
125
Let's go in to the third type of question.
126
Why do some people blank, do something?
127
Okay.
128
Here really, the examiner is testing your expression of opinion, right?
129
Well, I agree, I disagree, I think, I suppose, and so on.
130
My advice with this kind of question is to focus on a specific group of people.
131
Because when we say, why do people, I mean, it's impossible to answer.
132
That could be anybody.
133
But if you choose a group of people like teenagers,
134
adults, working people, mothers, retired people, it helps you focus.
135
It helps you develop the answer better.
136
And because you're being quite specific, you'll be using a more specific, deeper range of vocabulary.
137
So you're making it better for yourself.
138
Okay.
139
So here I can just recommend one phrase, right?
140
Very simple to answer.
141
It depends.
142
If we are talking about group of people, then I think, for example, well, it depends, right?
143
I mean, if we're talking about teenagers, then I think, well, it depends.
144
I mean, if we're talking about older people, then I think, you see?
145
Let's look at an example again, sticking with the shopping theme in part three.
146
Why do some people never shop online?
147
Well, it depends.
148
I mean, if we're talking about older people, then I think they may not know how to do it and they might not trust it.
149
Okay, great way to start.
150
Can you think of an example now?
151
Remember, don't be personal.
152
Don't say, for example, my granddad doesn't like.
153
No, don't talk about personal examples.
154
Remember, think generally, think globally, or think about the news.
155
So maybe something like this.
156
I've seen a lot of reports on the news lately of older people being scammed.
157
You know, buying things online that don't exist, they might purchase a car because it's super cheap,
158
but then they give the money to the scammers and they never even see the car.
159
And I guess all of this means they are reluctant then to buy online.
160
Got it?
161
Great.
162
Let's move on.
163
Okay, so we've seen three very common question types and how to develop your answer, right?
164
But to do that, you need to think fast.
165
You really do need to think on your feet, as we say.
166
Think on your feet, think quickly, right?
167
So you need time to think.
168
But in part three, there isn't much time, right?
169
The big thing about part three is the pace.
170
It's fast and furious, like the film.
171
How then do you create time to think?
172
There are three things you can do, right?
173
The first listen carefully to the question
174
repeat the question aloud and then take a moment to breathe and think and answer okay
175
so if the question is for example why do some people never shop online why do some people never shop online.
176
And then start speaking, okay?
177
Don't worry about the time.
178
Let the examiner worry about the time.
179
That is their job to control the time, not yours.
180
You take your time and answer.
181
Okay.
182
Second thing you can do is to use time fillers, right?
183
Very common things like, oh, that's a good question.
184
So once the examiner asks you the question, you go, hmm, that's a good question.
185
Oh, I haven't thought about that.
186
Let me see.
187
Let me think. And take that breath.
188
in and out, just that time.
189
Get oxygen to your head, give you time to think and relax your shoulders and your body.
190
Okay.
191
Tip number three, ask the examiner to clarify or to repeat, right?
192
Even maybe because you don't understand, but even just to get more time, right?
193
It's one thing you can do.
194
Don't overuse this, but you can.
195
If you don't understand a question or you didn't hear it correctly, or it just wasn't clear, right?
196
You can say, could you repeat the question?
197
And they will repeat it.
198
Could you repeat the question?
199
But my favorite is, what do you mean exactly?
200
I love that because you're showing that you've understood the question, but you're not 100% clear.
201
You're not saying, oh, I don't understand.
202
You're saying, well, okay, I understand.
203
But what do you mean exactly?
204
Clarify the question.
205
So the examiner might rephrase the question, not only repeat it, but say it in a different way, helping you understand, but giving you time to think.
206
What do you mean exactly?
207
Great question.
208
So now you have some nice phrases.
209
What are you going to do?
210
Practice, of course.
211
You can download the PDF for free.
212
There's a link below and start practicing.
213
If you're interested in taking your spoken English up a whole new level, well, you can join one of my online courses.
214
There are links down below.
215
Now, I know some students cannot join an online course or work with a teacher.
216
And that's fine.
217
I have a tip for you.
218
Go to my website, keithspeakingacademy.com.
219
Look for IELTS part three.
220
Again, there's a link below.
221
Look at the part three topics and subtopics.
222
Try and create some questions for each subtopic based on the three question types you've seen today.
223
And then just try and give your answer to those questions.
224
Again, you can use some of the phrases from today's lesson and just practice doing that.
225
It's the practice.
226
Bonus tip, record yourself on your phone and just listen back, right?
227
You could share it with another student, with a friend and say, what do you think?
228
What do you think of the example?
229
Is it good?
230
Is it clear?
231
Could it be better?
232
And just try to improve day after day.
233
That's my tip for you.
234
I hope that you've enjoyed this lesson.
235
Thank you so much for watching.
236
And I'll see you in the next video.
237
So take care, my friend.
238
Bye-bye.

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。
