0:44

2 of the IELTS speaking exam let's go

0:50

these video we've teamed up with a

0:53

0:57

great and innovative way for you to turn

1:01

down time which is time where you're not

1:04

active you're not working into

1:10

2:05

back to Cambridge

2:07

[Music]

2:11

now we'd save what kind of book it is

2:14

what it's about and what sort of people

2:16

would enjoy and explain why you like to

2:18

read books I don't read them okay if you

2:25

don't have knowledge about something

2:26

feel free to just make it up

2:29

IELTS is an English exam not a

2:31

personality test and you'll never be

2:33

marked down for lying so let's give this

2:36

guy another go and see what he can come

2:38

up with I have a time of day are you

2:40

like well usually a time of day is it

2:42

mornings

2:43

love the mornings yeah when the Sunday

2:47

I'm not one for getting up at the crack

2:49

of dawn

2:50

although when I'm up at that time I

2:53

always enjoy once you're up in a bell

2:56

you know I won't say when the dawn comes

2:59

up in the last point

3:07

but there's something different about

3:11

especially in our sunny mornings the

3:14

morning and the afternoon there's a

3:16

totally difference the way the light

3:18

shines if you know what I mean sunset

3:22

matters are lovely but there's a

3:23

different feel to about the mornings so

3:30

excluding his first attempt let's give

3:33

him some feedback as if it was an IELTS

3:35

response to start with he could have

3:38

spoken for longer

3:39

in fact almost twice the length he

3:42

didn't use many tenses he had a lot of

3:45

hesitations although he did have some

3:48

nice colloquial use of English with some

3:50

idiomatic language like I'm not one for

3:54

getting up at the crack of dawn or if

3:57

you know what I mean and he's even used

3:59

some linking expressions like although

4:01

when I'm up or sunset and that is all

4:05

lovely but so he's used some good

4:08

language but he didn't fully accomplish

4:10

the task and he didn't cover all of the

4:12

task card points furthermore his speech

4:15

was a little disorganized so we're

4:17

giving him a score of 7.5 thus if we can

4:21

find some better answers for you

4:23

elsewhere way to describe an exercise

4:26

you know again just talk a bit about it

4:29

an exercise yes squats squats or an

4:35

exercise you lower yourself with your

4:41

knees and you you will you bend down

4:47

if you squat really yeah I can

4:58

good good technique so a time you can't

5:01

do that in the exam

5:03

a member of your family who get on well

5:06

with relationship different question

5:11

okay no any member any member your

5:15

family um you know to what your

5:18

relationship yeah I really get on with

5:20

with with with my cousin Emma um me and

5:25

her have been visiting Spain for a long

5:29

time and she does a lot of arty stuff

5:32

and it's

5:36

we share as a birthday within well

5:41

within two days of each other so I have

5:43

my birthday than she has hers so we're

5:45

kind of birthday twins amongst all the

5:47

cousins and yes we get on very well and

5:52

whenever we meet up we just we have a

5:54

really nice time it was really nice

5:55

spending time with her there we go so

6:02

tom was consistently accurate in his use

6:04

of grammar he varied his tense form

6:07

nicely by using perfect continuous and

6:10

simple structures he also managed to

6:12

include some natural phrasal verbs and

6:14

colloquial language he did repeat

6:18

himself a little bit hesitated and again

6:21

his speech was partially disorganized

6:24

but will give him a solid eight point

6:27

zero let's keep searching for an even

6:29

better model answer for you right so I

6:34

want to describe a piece of art that you

6:38

like okay and maybe maybe tricky and say

6:43

what the work of art is when you first

6:46

saw it what you know about it

6:51

yeah Worsley would be a bad horse

6:57

Hyperion it was in the night 1720 1736

7:03

when when he was being raised and they

7:06

drew it now they've made a sculpture of

7:09

it and it's a new market and everybody

7:12

sees it down the high street outside the

7:14

jockey club

7:14

whenever they go down there and so

7:17

everybody usually goes down the I

7:18

support not taking outside of it that

7:22

was a sculpture of Hyperion and why do

7:26

you like you say I've worked in a log

7:29

work amazing image as amazing as if it's

7:32

sculpted it and it does look like I

7:35

period in those days you know you win a

7:39

lot of races and so that's why I

7:42

desculpe today hold on to your hats

7:47

ladies and gentlemen see Nutter has

7:50

jockey his way to the front of the pack

7:52

with the use of complex structures less

7:55

common vocabulary and yet again the odd

7:59

colloquialism he has managed to ensure

8:01

that both Tom and the old bloke eat his

8:04

dust you may have noticed that he

8:07

self-corrected which isn't a bad thing

8:10

in the IELTS exam as long as it's not

8:12

too often so we give the jockey an 8.5

8:17

now we could only find some bleep who

8:20

knows what the IELTS test

8:23

[Music]

8:30

to describe a book you have recently

8:33

read and you should say what kind of

8:36

book it is what it's about what sort of

8:40

people would really enjoy it and explain

8:43

why you liked it I've really picked up a

8:46

book about teaching English in the

8:50

classroom so this book explains all the

8:52

approaches and methods that any teacher

8:55

needs to know in order to teach English

8:57

effectively it would be appropriate for

9:01

anyone who's either been teaching for a

9:03

while or wants to take up teaching in

9:06

the future as a profession because it

9:07

covers everything comprehensively so you

9:09

can look at all the techniques that you

9:12

need you can choose which are for you

9:14

and which won't really suit your style

9:16

and of course it would be great I think

9:20

anyone would enjoy it who is looking to

9:22

build on their career and to expand on

9:25

their own development as a teacher in

9:28

terms of why I enjoyed it I really like

9:32

the details but also many specific

9:34

examples that this book gave so overall

9:36

I would certainly recommend it it was a

9:38

great read cover to cover all right stop

9:43

the show boys and girls we have a clear

9:46

winner let's take a second to show you

9:48

our very own IELTS replay technology he

9:52

starts off with a quick phrasal

9:54

expression I've really picked up before

9:57

you know it he's using a classic phrasal

9:59

verb or once to take up teaching in the

10:02

future then to wrap it up he uses a

10:05

cheeky but incredibly relevant idiom

10:08

cover to cover and those are just some

10:10

highlights as he uses plenty throughout

10:13

his answer you may have noticed his

10:16

grammatical accuracy using phrases like

10:18

in order to teach English effectively or

10:22

it would be or even it covers everything

10:25

comprehensively very nice and as was the

10:29

organisation of his speech using phrases

10:32

like in terms of and

10:34

overall and finally he used some

10:38

advanced vocabulary and collocations so

10:42

we are giving Chris from the YouTube

10:44

channel learn British English free full

10:48

marks with a score of 9.0 so we really

10:56
