跟读练习: IELTS Speaking Practice Test with Answers - 通过视频学习英语口语

Hi everyone, it's Mark and today I'll be taking you through the IELTS speaking test from top to bottom with practice time,

sample answers and suggestions for how you can improve your test score on test day.

Now, before we get straight into it, I want to mention that if you're planning to take the IELTS soon, we have an added bonus.

In the description of this video, we've added a checklist that you can download for free

that will help you figure out if you're ready to take the IELTS speaking test.

And if you're not ready, the checklist will tell you exactly what you need to do.

I highly recommend it.

So your IELTS speaking test will be a one-on-one test with a real live examiner.

It'll take 11 to 14 minutes, and it consists of three parts.

There will be an unassessed identity check, followed by four to five minutes of small talk, just to get you warmed up.

you'll have a two minute long talk where you'll speak uninterrupted.

Finally, you'll have four to five minutes of discussion.

Okay, so on test day, make sure that you are early.

Give yourself plenty of time to arrive and relax.

Don't forget to bring your passport or other form of accepted ID.

If you're doing the test at a test center, you will be asked to wait in a waiting room.

then the examiner will come and get you and take you to the testing room.

The examiner may or may not say much to you during this time, so don't worry if they don't say very much.

If you're doing the test from home or on your computer, you'll want to make sure that you are in a quiet room with good internet connection.

Now, I really want to mention something about how you should approach answering questions in the IELTS tests.

A lot of students get nervous or focused on answering the question correctly,

as if there's a correct or perfect answer.

There are no perfect answers.

There are only ideas that are well developed and ideas that are poorly developed.

A lot of times students will try to answer questions quickly with yes

because or no because and this isn't wrong but often the ideas aren't well developed.

In today's test we'll show you some techniques for how to approach thinking about the questions

and how to go about connecting and presenting your ideas.

I hope you're excited.

Let's get into it.

We're going to start with a simulation of the identity check.

The identity check only lasts about 30 or 40 seconds.

It's ungraded.

Don't give long answers.

Keep it short.

Ready?

Hello, my name is Mark.

Can you tell me your full name, please?

and what shall I call you?

And can you tell me where you're from?

May I see your identification, please?

Thank you, that's fine.

Okay, we're now up to the first scored part of the test, small talk.

In this part of the test, I'm going to ask you about 12 or so questions on three day-to-day topics.

They should be simple and familiar questions, and you should only answer with three or four sentences.

Don't overdo it.

Ready?

Let's talk about where you live.

Do you live in a house or an apartment?

What is your favorite room in your home?

Who do you live with?

What would you like to change about your home?

Now you're one third of the way through the first part of the test.

But before we go on to the next set of Smalltalk questions, I want to show you how I might answer the questions on test day

and give you an idea of how you can approach these questions.

Here's the first question and here's my response.

I live in an apartment.

I've been living there for about six years.

It's a short train ride into the city.

Here is the second question and here's my response.

I suppose it's my living room.

It's got a large glass door that opens onto the balcony, which is great because the room stays bright all day.

Notice here that I've used which is great because.

This is a great way to not only extend my answer, but to use a wider range of grammar and vocabulary.

Be sure to check out this video, Seven Words to Say in IELTS Speaking to Get a 7 or More.

It has great tips on how you can extend your ideas and improve your grammar.

Here's the third question.

And here's my response.

I live with my wife.

I've had other roommates in the past.

She's much easier to get along with.

And here's the fourth question.

And here's my response.

I guess it would be nice to have more space.

We're still in a one-bedroom apartment so it's pretty small.

If we had another room then it would be easier to manage our belongings.

Hopefully we can find a bigger place that we like soon.

Notice how I use the word if here.

We have a whole video all about using the word if in IELTS speaking.

I recommend you check it out if you haven't already.

So my answers here were concise and relevant.

Try doing the same.

And as I mentioned, the examiner will now ask a few more questions on a different everyday topic.

Ready?

Let's talk about sports now.

What sports are popular in your country?

Do you play any sports?

What sports did you enjoy when you were younger?

Is it important for children to play sports?

Okay, well done.

Let me now show you how I would respond to those four questions.

Here's the first question, and here's my response.

Definitely hockey.

Most people in my hometown watch it, especially during the playoffs.

I remember once I was walking home after training and walking by some houses.

I could see in almost every window people watching the game in their living rooms.

The city is so quiet at this time because everyone is watching at home.

Did you notice how I added stress to some of these words?

Remember, pronunciation isn't just about whether you make the sound correctly,

100

it's about how you emphasize or add nuance to your answer through stress and intonation.

101

We actually have a video on our channel all about using sentence stress in the IELTS speaking test.

102

I recommend checking it out if you want to quickly improve your speaking before test day.

103

Here's the second question, and here is my response.

104

I don't.

105

Not since high school anyway, and not any team sports.

106

Since I was in my mid-20s, I've trained in a few types of martial arts though.

107

I'm not as keen on team sports.

108

Notice here how I said no, but I mentioned that I do martial arts.

109

Another way you could approach this question is to describe a team sport that you'd like to try, or one that you played when you were younger.

110

You could even say that you don't do any sports and explain why you can't or why you don't like sports.

111

Anything is possible.

112

Try to respond like you would if your best friend asked you the question.

113

Here's the third question.

114

And here's my response.

115

Well, my dad wanted me to become a professional tennis player.

116

So I did play quite a bit of tennis.

117

I did enjoy it, but I wasn't quite as passionate as he was.

118

I haven't picked up a racket since high school.

119

And here's the fourth question, and here's my response.

120

It is.

121

I think it's important for children to have this physical outlet and also to learn teamwork and discipline.

122

I know that for some kids, sports can be quite intimidating,

123

but I think engaging kids in some kind of physical activity really helps them to learn to persevere,

124

which is important, particularly as they get older.

125

Notice in this response, I talked about the specific benefits of sports and then described the effect it has later.

126

Effect or benefit are great ways to extend your ideas and justify your positions.

127

Also note how I added which is important at the end as well.

128

So as you saw in my second set of answers, I'm I'm beginning to extend and justify my answers a little bit more,

129

and I'm using a range of different grammar and sentence structures to express myself.

130

We're now going to do the third and final set of questions for part one of the speaking test.

131

You ready?

132

Let's talk about clothes.

133

What kind of clothes do you like to wear?

134

Where do you usually buy your clothes?

135

people wear traditional clothes in your country?

136

Do you think young people or older people are more interested in clothes?

137

Okay well done.

138

Let me show you how I would respond to those last four questions.

139

the first question.

140

And here's my answer.

141

To be honest, I wear pretty simple clothes.

142

If I'm out with friends, I wear jeans and a shirt or sweater.

143

And if I'm at work, I wear a pair of work pants.

144

I suppose when it's colder out, I like to wear a cap.

145

But other than that, I keep it pretty simple.

146

Here's the second question.

147

And here's my answer.

148

It depends on what kind of clothes they are.

149

If I'm looking for work clothes, then I'll go to a department store in the city, but if it's for casual clothes, I could buy them anywhere.

150

Department stores, online, or even secondhand shops.

151

I don't have any particular shop that I like.

152

Here's the third question, and here's my response.

153

Oh, I'm not totally sure about that.

154

If traditional means a suit or a dress,

155

then I suppose people wear those when they go to special events like a wedding or church on Sunday.

156

Also in Canada, there are people from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

157

So for events like Lunar New Year or Orthodox Easter, you'll sometimes see people dressed more traditionally.

158

And here's the fourth question.

159

And here's my response.

160

Personally, I find I've gotten more interested in clothes as I've gotten older.

161

I have steady work so I can buy more clothes.

162

When I was younger, I didn't really care as much, but I think people generally are more interested when they're younger.

163

I suppose fashion is more relevant to younger people, though I don't know where they get their money for it all.

164

So that's it for part one.

165

Remember, if you're finding it difficult to think of answers or you're not very confident in your speaking ability,

166

download the free IELTS speaking checklist in the description of this video.

167

It'll show you what you need to do to be properly prepared for test day

168

and to give you some tips to improve your speaking.

169

Let's move on to the second part of IELTS speaking, the two-minute talk.

170

The two-minute talk is something you need to practice even if your English is perfect.

171

What's going to happen is I'm going to give you a task card.

172

You'll have one minute to prepare and then you'll have two minutes to speak.

173

Ready?

174

Now I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes.

175

Before you speak you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say

176

and you can make some notes if you wish.

177

Do you understand?

178

Please use a pen and paper for your notes and here's your topic.

179

I'd like you to talk about a book you read recently.

180

Thank you.

181

I'd like you to now speak for two minutes on this topic.

182

You can begin.

183

Thank you.

184

Thank you.

185

Thank you.

186

Okay, how did you go?

187

193

I'll now show you how I would respond on test day.

194

Pay attention to how I extend my ideas and listen carefully to my vocab, pronunciation, grammar, and fluency.

195

A few months ago, I finished reading Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat by Samin Nosrat.

196

I'd wanted to read it for years and I found an inexpensive copy at a bookstore, so I snatched it up.

197

It had been recommended in a podcast that I like listening to about experts in their fields.

198

The book is literally about how salt, fat, acid, and heat are the key components of cooking.

199

While the book does have recipes in the end, it's much more interesting how the author goes into detail about these four components.

200

I was particularly amazed by how much detail there was about salt.

201

I used to be a cook, so I would always add salt to my food.

202

I knew that it was a flavor enhancer, but I had no idea how much deeper you could go into it.

203

The main thing was that I learned that if you salt your meat 24 hours before cooking it,

204

that the salt can penetrate deeper into the meat and the meat will retain more moisture, which makes it taste way better.

205

I'd worked as a cook when I was younger and so I learned to always use salt, but I had no idea what a difference it made.

206

There were a few other notes about salt that I integrated into my life as well.

207

Normally, I don't like cookbooks or TV cooking shows, but I found her approach to teaching, cooking, and even life so interesting.

208

For her, cooking isn't just about the food, it's about the journey, the preparation, the care, the history, and most importantly,

209

it's about sharing the journey.

210

I've actually told so many of my friends about all the cool information I learned from her book.

211

So before we take a more careful look at the transcript, remember to take a look at this video.

212

It's about how to extend your ideas in part two.

213

You're going to see some of those techniques here.

214

Now let's look at how I started.

215

A few months ago I finished reading Salt, Fat, Acid Heat by Samin Nosrat.

216

Great.

217

So I introduce with a time intro.

218

Now I'm not thinking about answering the question, I'm just telling a story.

219

Then I immediately add, I'd wanted to read it for years and I found an inexpensive copy at a bookstore, so I snatched it up.

220

So I've used the past perfect.

221

I use it a few times in my response.

222

It's a great way to add background information.

223

That's really where the past perfect shines.

224

Now, when we skip to the end, I say, normally, I don't like cookbooks or TV cooking shows,

225

but I just found her approach to teaching cooking and even life so interesting.

226

So I make a point about my normal preferences, which really highlights why this book was special.

227

And there's some great topic specific vocabulary here as well.

228

Flavour enhancer, penetrate deeper, to salt the meat.

229

I even used salt as a verb.

230

That's topic specific.

231

Her approach to cooking.

232

Plenty of good vocab and some complex grammar.

233

And that's a key point here.

234

Don't try to answer the question.

235

Relax and tell the story.

236

Notice that I quickly answered the first three parts of the prompt

237

and then went into rich personal details about why the book was special.

238

That's the ticket to success here.

239

Let the ideas in your mind guide your answers.

240

And if you're worried you couldn't answer this question, here's some advice.

241

Take 10 minutes and write an answer out.

242

I'm constantly surprised how often students say, oh I can't answer this or I don't have any ideas.

243

And so I give them a pen and paper and 10 minutes and tell them to write.

244

Suddenly, they've got great stories.

245

Pick the five hardest part two questions you can find on the internet.

246

Find the tests you hope you never get in the IELTS test and write your answers.

247

You'll be amazed at how much you'll be able to say if you make an effort.

248

Let's move on to the final part of IELTS speaking, this is the discussion.

249

In part three, you'll have four

250

or five minutes to answer a few questions on a topic similar to the topic you spoke about in part two.

251

So because you just spoke about a book you read recently, you'll now have a discussion with the examiner on a range of topics related to reading.

252

This part is a bit more free flowing.

253

The examiner may even ask a question or two quite spontaneously.

254

This part of the test is very interactive.

255

You'll need to listen carefully and respond appropriately, just like in a real life discussion or conversation.

256

So I'll ask you a question, you'll respond and then I'll show you how I would respond to that question on test day.

257

Ready?

258

We've been talking about a book you read recently

259

and I'd like to ask you one or two more general questions related to this.

260

What are some reasons people don't like reading?

261

Here's the question and here's my response.

262

I think it's not that they don't like reading.

263

I think it's that most people don't have time.

264

I think people like getting lost in a good book, but life can get pretty busy.

265

That said, I suppose there's so much media available now

266

that people can easily watch series on Netflix or YouTube and so easily from their phones, which makes it hard to switch off.

267

These days on the train, I constantly see people watching videos on the way home.

268

I guess when you're tired, it's just easy to watch videos.

269

Reading takes a bit more focus.

270

Okay, next question.

271

How can young people be encouraged to read more?

272

Here's the question, and here's my response.

273

There are a few ways.

274

One is to have a teacher or parents who like reading.

275

The more the teacher or parents enjoy reading, the more likely the young people will take on the behavior.

276

You can't just tell kids they should read if you don't read yourself.

277

Another way would be to reward kids for reading.

278

I remember when I was in elementary school, one of my teachers tracked how much we read, and if we read a certain number of books by the end of the term, we'd get a prize.

279

I'm not sure it's the best way, but it could work for kids today.

280

So notice in this answer, I've used the correlative comparative, the more the more.

281

It's a great structure for showing cause and effect, and it's complex grammar.

282

Ready for the next question?

283

Did people read books more in the past than they do now?

284

Here's the question, and here's my response.

285

In the past I think people definitely read more.

286

I remember years ago I would see people reading everywhere, on the bus or on their coffee break.

287

People would usually have a book with them.

288

These days, people are usually gazing into their phones, watching videos or replying to chats.

289

To be honest, it's a bit sad.

290

I feel like people are losing their ability to concentrate on reading.

291

Okay, next question.

292

How do people's reading habits change as they get older?

293

Okay, here's the question.

294

And here's my response.

295

I don't think they change.

296

I think people tend to read the same things most of their lives.

297

I mean, I suppose once you finish school, you might not read textbooks anymore, but I think people read what they like to read most of their lives.

298

I know a lot of people who read comic books when they were younger and they still read them now.

299

And people who are interested in certain topics will continue to read those topics as they get older.

300

It is definitely possible that people will perhaps discover new things as they get older, so of course some people might find new things to read.

301

I guess I'm also hopeful that people who didn't read

302

when they were younger might start to do so when they get older.

303

Okay, next question.

304

Is reading a physical book the same as reading an electronic book?

305

Here's the question, and here's my answer.

306

Definitely not.

307

I much prefer physical books.

308

I think most people prefer reading books.

309

If you want to make notes or if you want to go to a specific page quickly, I think it's easier to do this with a physical book.

310

I think electronic books have some usefulness.

311

They're easier to carry and you can fit a lot of books onto an e-reader.

312

And you can even now make notes in them.

313

But I think most people prefer to have that tactile interaction with their books.

314

Okay, final question.

315

In the future, do you think people will read more or less?

316

Here's the question and here's my response.

317

Sadly I think they're going to read less.

318

Applications have become so good at grabbing and holding your attention, which is forcing people to stay on their devices.

319

Whether they're watching a video or playing a video game, it's really hard to break the habit.

320

Although I suppose some people are trying to avoid social media and read more, and personally I know lots of people who read a lot,

321

I think it's going to become less and less common to read books.

322

I'd love to be wrong on this though.

323

So in this answer, I quickly answer the question, and then I extend using a range of grammatical structures. So that's it.

324

You've just completed a full IELTS speaking test.

325

It will feel as if it went by just like that.

326

The main thing I recommend is to build the habits you

327

need to make sure you get the best possible result on test day and get feedback from an expert.

328

Remember, if your speaking test is coming up,

329

make sure to download the free IELTS speaking checklist from the description below to check that you're properly prepared for test day.

330

Good luck.

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。
