uh yesterday um
last year i took
a spanish classes with a friend of mine
and uh in during the class
whenever my teacher
[Music]
was giving the lecture always i
take notes and after that i
read it and practice on it uh because
uh i um i wanna um
i wanna go to um spain uh in the future
and i want uh to uh and i want um
and i want to communicate with
other people and know about the culture
and tradition of the spanish
people and i love this
language and i think
i can know about all the
spanish features by learning
spanish language but i think
this language was so
uh difficult and whenever
i wanted to uh speak uh i
got a stress and i
i couldn't speak a fluency
but after some time i
i could i could
speak more fluency and
practice more and more with my friend
and uh i can
speak it well and
in the future whenever i um go uh
whenever
i go to the uh spain i think uh
thank you very much that's the end of
the two minutes
um may i have your papers back yeah
thank you very much
okay so we've been talking about a
course that you have done and you found
useful i'd now like to ask you some
questions related to this
okay first let's consider homework do
you think it is important that
children are given homework
i think whenever the children
at a school learn something for example
mathematic or his about mathematic or
history
of course they should do some
homeworks about it for
for understand about it better
and if they want to use
them in the situation in this situation
i think
they can use uh better than other
situations
right and how much homework should they
be given
do you think i think
they should do homework every day
but if they haven't uh enough time
uh they can do their homework
for example uh three or four times
a week but i prefer um
uh but i prefer to uh
do the do for example my homework
every day and do you think parents
should help their children with their
homework
or should it be done alone
to be honest i prefer to
the parents help them but
in some situation i think it's better
they do their homework alone
because maybe they
one for example students
don't have any person for helping
them okay and we'll now discuss the
relationship between education and work
how important
is it to have a university education to
get a job
in your country to be honest i have
never thought about it
but uh i think uh in my car especially
in my country uh people when
whenever they want to find a job
it's not important have a
degree or not it's it's important to
have some experience experiences and
after that i think they can
they can find a good job and does having
a degree from
another country enhance employment
opportunities
in your country uh
could you please repeat your question
absolutely now
does having a degree from another
country
uh help get a job in your country
uh i think uh it's not important
uh when a person have a degree of
another country
because in my country whenever for
example
a person has some experiences
they can they can find a good job
but we have some person have a lot of
degrees with um some kinds of topics
but he or she can't find a good job
right and what impacts do students
who have studied abroad have on their
country of
origin when they come home
i think in my opinion when a person
study abroad and gets
studies abroad and gets a degree of
foreign country it's
so useful for it's so useful for
he or she because they can
know about other language or other
culture or traditional of that country
and maybe uh he or she can use
use them in their job and uh do you
think
all right okay and are you hopeful about
the
future system of the education in your
country
um would you please repeat your show
do you have high hopes about the
education system
in your country in the future i hope
in the future some of the courses
in the university or in the school
feel progress and different from now for
example
some students want to
for example wants to know about some
arts or some instruments
but now these days they should
learn about just mathematic or uh
history and physics or something like
that
okay thank you very much that is the end
of the speaking test
or you can take a deep breath now
i'll give you some uh feedback as to how
you did let's first look at your
band score here so you know considering
the
four criteria fluency and coherence
vocabulary
uh grammar and accuracy and
pronunciation all together you know
we're
we're looking at a a six at the moment i
wanted to give you a 6.5
i really wanted to um there are certain
issues you know we
we need to look at uh so you can
increase that band score
you can increase one band score if you
follow the um
the techniques of what we're looking at
here so
all together i mean i i thought you
spoke very well
and um you were i mean your fluency
the way you you understood the questions
mostly you understood the questions
um but you know you sometimes you didn't
but when i repeated the question
rephrase when i paraphrased the question
you could and you could talk about the
topic so you understood that you were
answering the questions
uh fluently but what the problem i had
you were you had a lot of
uh self-repetition i think that that's
that's
damaging a little bit your fluency
incoherence a lot of self-repetition
there
uh plenty of um's see if i was in your
position i would uh i'll definitely
use some linking words as to you know
linking your
uh sentences together uh though you
could also
uh improve your vocabulary uh in part
one i didn't have a problem with your
vocabulary but i thought you were a
little bit
challenged especially with the with part
two
um what i would do if in part two i
think you were still
on the same topic and you could have
gone a little bit off topic and
maybe elaborated on what what you wanted
to talk about
when you were discussing uh the when you
wanted to go abroad and
all those sort of things but you know
all these can be achieved so you know
don't worry too much about
that um so you had lots of uh
self-repetitions here and uh
self-corrections i mean that's something
i think you could work on and you know
some
areas here and there it's different from
now you
you would say maybe a few words some
places that they're probably not linked
i'll definitely you know work with the
accuracy on your grammar uh here and
there uh that's
actually probably where i had most
problems with you there
lots of some grammatical errors and
that's that's what's been marking you
down that's i wanted to give you the 6.5
but then the uh lots lots of the
self-repetition and
self-correcting and grammatical errors
but you know don't worry about that they
can be achieved
um it's it's more practice practicing
these techniques
and uh you know you if you had more of
the linking words
and maybe you could paraphrase here and
there so
basically a reword some of your
sentences i mean you did that
in in some points when i asked you some
questions
uh you would refer to the question which
is a very good technique
in ielts speaking nothing wrong with
that that's a very good idea
pronunciation all together oh i didn't
have too much
problem with your pronunciation i
thought it was good uh i mean that was
at
some point you said degree which which
is its degree
so you know maybe a few pronunciation
issues here and there but not too much
you don't really have too many problems
with the pronunciation
i'm mostly concerned about the the
fluency
also you could uh work with your
intonation if you work with your
intonation and
maybe i know it's very difficult with a
mask so you know i took that into
consideration as well it it's hard to
express yourself behind a mask
and um definitely uh
you needed more movement with that to
express yourself because every time i
wear a mask i have the same problem
um but you know i took that into
consideration
i think mostly it's the uh the ums and
the r's and you know lots lots of you're
very hesitant at
at many points so i'll definitely you
know work on that and work on the
intonation so
intonation that can be improved if you
uh with more listening skills i would
say if you watch your favorite movies or
you
listen to your favorite songs uh
preferably someone talking if
if someone's talking and you listen to
them that would really help
and then you look in front of the mirror
you if you
you practice this every night you speak
loudly you practice certain sentences
and uh record your voice and then listen
to them
and then simple sentences after you've
done that and you've mastered the simple
sentences
then you can uh go to more complex
sentences because
if if you're more if you're familiar
with more complex sentences you can get
a higher band score
definitely and uh we'll definitely able
to show the examiner how
you you've got a better command of the
english language anyway
so i would definitely think about that
vocabulary
it's it is good but you could still
improve on that you still have room to
improve on your vocab
uh so basically you could learn maybe
four or five new words every day
something related to something you
already know that would help you
paraphrase when you want to have your
next uh ielts speaking test
or mock test uh they'll give you some
more uh
range basically your vocabulary range to
just keep
uh you know expressing new words or
words similar so you don't
repeat yourself that would also help you
come off that that self repetition
um that that's basically it and uh do
you do you have any questions
no you sure oh it's my pleasure
good luck with everything i know all of
that yeah you know the nether yeah
definitely take all these
um what i'm telling you take all these
techniques into consideration that will
definitely
help you enhance your band score not by
half but one one whole band score you
can really
improve on that um especially and you
know with
like i said before i'll just repeat one
more time definitely
uh work on paraphrasing and linking
words
when you have linking words and linking
sentences that will help you
think about the the idea that you have
in your head especially for part two
i think at one point you were sort of uh
hesitant and you were thinking oh
goodness me
have i finished the two minutes yet see
if you have your idea
and then you your idea is finished then
you can go on to talk about something
it's nothing wrong
with talking off topic or it doesn't
have to be
necessarily logical or correct basically
it's it's more of a timing situation
we're talking about here
part two maybe a little bit of part
three enhance your answers as well
in in part three because it's it's all
about expressing
ideas and having uh a conversation with
with the examiner
but you know all together very good and
hopefully
uh you'll definitely do better and
you'll improve with with these
techniques that i'm telling you
and i wish you the best of luck sure
thank you
you
