  1. 0:00let's talk about music how often do you
  2. 0:02listen to music I think I listen to
  3. 0:05music mostly when I'm driving I think it
  4. 0:07puts me in such a good mood when I'm
  5. 0:09like out there on a drive and I play my
  6. 0:12favorite music I'm usually into afro
  7. 0:15music a lot hip-hop and afro and R&B so
  8. 0:19I prefer listening to music when I'm
  9. 0:21driving or sometimes when I'm working
  10. 0:23out I'm at the gym something like that
  11. 0:26is music an important subject in schools
  12. 0:30in your country in schools in my country
  13. 0:33it is because you know um I'm from India
  14. 0:36so in India music and dance and um
  15. 0:39expressing our emotions is usually
  16. 0:41through music and uh dancing so in every
  17. 0:45school they teach classical music or
  18. 0:48they have a subject where there is
  19. 0:50something about music usually so I think
  20. 0:53it is important do you ever go to live
  21. 0:55concerts oh I've been to three concerts
  22. 0:59and three of them are my favorite
  23. 1:00artists and it was actually on my um
  24. 1:03wish list and I made it happen and uh it
  25. 1:06was one of the best
  26. 1:08experiences and uh in live concerts it's
  27. 1:11a lot different than you would imagine
  28. 1:14um just have to keep your energy uh
  29. 1:16straight and it's it's like um it's like
  30. 1:19you can't believe it's happening now
  31. 1:21let's talk about magazines and
  32. 1:23newspapers do you prefer to read
  33. 1:25magazines or newspapers definitely
  34. 1:28magazines um mostly on the topics of
  35. 1:31fashion or Interior Design This is what
  36. 1:34I really like because I like to see
  37. 1:36creative sides all from all over the
  38. 1:38world I like to see what people are
  39. 1:39talking about what's new what's trending
  40. 1:42and um I like to learn like I like to
  41. 1:45have knowledge of things of like what is
  42. 1:47this called what is that called CU
  43. 1:49usually when you see pictures you don't
  44. 1:51usually know what it's called so when
  45. 1:52you read a magazine know where you get
  46. 1:54the knowledge that's that's where you
  47. 1:55get to know oh this fabric is called
  48. 1:57this or this uh decor a is called that
  49. 2:01so I think it's very good on information
  50. 2:04do you think you can learn as much from
  51. 2:06a magazine as a book definitely not cuz
  52. 2:09magazine is like a shorter version of
  53. 2:11what's in a book so I definitely prefer
  54. 2:13books over magazines do you think that
  55. 2:16you will continue to read paper based
  56. 2:19magazines in the future I think I'm very
  57. 2:22old-fashioned like that I need to have a
  58. 2:24physical book in my hand and that's how
  59. 2:26I think it produces serotonin in my
  60. 2:28brain otherwise no
  61. 2:30digital it's very different it's I I
  62. 2:32like uh physically reading a magazine or
  63. 2:35a book now let's talk about outdoor
  64. 2:37activities do you like being outdoors I
  65. 2:40love being outdoors um I usually spend
  66. 2:43my time planning an activity or just
  67. 2:46being out my friends even if I'm not
  68. 2:48doing anything I must stay Outdoors I'm
  69. 2:50not a very like home based person like I

  76. 3:08this is something I really really enjoy
  77. 3:10which outdoor activities are most
  78. 3:12popular in your country definitely it's
  79. 3:15like the game of uh India everybody
  80. 3:17loves Cricket when you go out of your
  81. 3:20house you're always going to see like
  82. 3:22some kids playing uh or or also
  83. 3:24batminton actually uh people enjoy that
  84. 3:27a lot as well I'd like to describe my
  85. 3:29favorite actor and actress um so my
  86. 3:32favorite actor will be Benedict
  87. 3:34Cumberbatch and um my favorite actress
  88. 3:37is Angelina Julie and I like their
  89. 3:40movies so much um they usually star in
  90. 3:43action films or mystery films and that's
  91. 3:46very similar to where I am like in my
  92. 3:49personal life I love mysterious stuff
  93. 3:51I'm I'm like always into like detective
  94. 3:54uh theories or mystery books and stuff
  95. 3:58like that so I always watch movies as
  96. 4:00such and their acting is on point it's
  97. 4:03always number one and I like Angelina
  98. 4:05Julie also for her humanitarian work
  99. 4:07that she does throughout her life she's
  100. 4:09been very present uh with charity work
  101. 4:12and um making sure that a lot of kids
  102. 4:17are fed in countries which are
  103. 4:19unfortunate and I really like that about
  104. 4:21her and I also like how Fierce she is
  105. 4:24and uh when she presents herself it's
  106. 4:26it's very divine feminine so I really
  107. 4:29really like that and I feel like she has
  108. 4:31that sort of energy where um a woman can
  109. 4:34feel powerful about herself just by
  110. 4:36looking at her and kind of
  111. 4:39um understanding where she comes from
  112. 4:41she doesn't really come from a very
  113. 4:44mentally stable place but now at this
  114. 4:46point in her life she's a very like
  115. 4:49strong woman and and she's done it all
  116. 4:51herself and Benedict Kash I actually
  117. 4:54watched his uh TV show which was called
  118. 4:56Sherlock and I am a crazy Sherlock fan
  119. 4:59and I'm I love mystery like I said and
  120. 5:02um detective stories and everything and
  121. 5:04him playing that really showed me what
  122. 5:06kind of an incredible actor he is
  123. 5:08because I felt like I'm watching
  124. 5:09Sherlock Holmes from the books and not
  125. 5:12an actor on screen and um he's also done
  126. 5:16a movie that I really love it's called
  127. 5:17Doctor Strange that's my favorite
  128. 5:19superhero from The Avengers and he has
  129. 5:22just done an amazing job uh in that
  130. 5:25movie so we've been talking about a
  131. 5:27famous actress and actor that that you
  132. 5:30enjoy and we're going to continue to
  133. 5:31talk about movies and and Theater what
  134. 5:33are the most popular types of movies in
  135. 5:36your country it would be to thank you
  136. 5:39for watching this video I want to give
  137. 5:41you a free course that has helped
  138. 5:43thousands of students improve their I
  139. 5:46speaking score what it's going to do is
  140. 5:48take you through every single part of
  141. 5:50the test and give you strategies for
  142. 5:52part one part two and part three and
  143. 5:54also allow you to practice at home for
  144. 5:57free and get feedback to sign up for
  145. 5:59that for free all you have to do is just
  146. 6:01click the link in the description thanks
  147. 6:03very much and let's get back to the
  148. 6:04video it would be action and drama
  149. 6:09definitely something that has to do with
  150. 6:11emotional connection it's usually
  151. 6:15fictional that I would say um and also
  152. 6:19comedy yeah there's a lot of Comedy that
  153. 6:22goes on in the films that are coming out
  154. 6:24now and from India do you think that
  155. 6:27going to the cinema will be as popular
  156. 6:30in the future uh I think 50/50 yeah I'm
  157. 6:34not sure about that but it looks like uh
  158. 6:36people enjoy watching movies at home and
  159. 6:40uh it's not as much uh exciting as it
  160. 6:43used to be back then and um I think
  161. 6:47probably yes it would be more digitally
  162. 6:50available at home and uh probably yeah
  163. 6:54now let's talk about the theater how
  164. 6:56strong a tradition is it today in your
  165. 6:58country to go to the theater um mostly I
  166. 7:03think in out of City areas actually it's
  167. 7:07mostly now as a as an activity that
  168. 7:10families go to with their kids just to
  169. 7:13show a play to their kids and to
  170. 7:15introduce them to this form of um
  171. 7:19culture and activity I think it's more
  172. 7:21of that now uh theater is not as much
  173. 7:25popularized uh back in India as much as
  174. 7:28Cinema and film and movies are so I
  175. 7:31think that is kind of on the backseat um
  176. 7:34it's not so much as it used to be do you
  177. 7:37think that theater should be run as a
  178. 7:39business or as a public service oo I
  179. 7:42think both I think it goes hand in hand
  180. 7:45um so that people can be employed as
  181. 7:49well at the same time and um it it is of
  182. 7:51a public service at the same time I
  183. 7:53think
  184. 7:55um I think that people do enjoy it but
  185. 7:58at the same time uh um it could be used
  186. 8:01as an as an excuse and used as like um
  187. 8:06an opportunity what I'm is what I mean
  188. 8:08uh to employ people and uh because
  189. 8:11there's a lot of people who would love
  190. 8:12to do acting but they can't really make
  191. 8:14it in the movies so maybe they could use
  192. 8:16theater as um as their hobby so I think
  193. 8:20yeah both can go hand in hand in some
  194. 8:22countries governments pay theaters to
  195. 8:26put on shows for the public do you think
  196. 8:29this is good use of public money it
  197. 8:32depends on if whether or not if it's
  198. 8:35free to the public because if you're
  199. 8:37charging for them to see that play then
  200. 8:39it doesn't make any sense is what I
  201. 8:42think and I think that it shouldn't be
  202. 8:46this way in the first place I think it
  203. 8:48should be available freely to the people
  204. 8:52um yeah let me give you some feedback on
  205. 8:54your performance so you're hoping to get
  206. 8:56a b nine and I'll go through the four

  229. 9:51the rest of this free video
  230. 9:52pronunciation is one of your your strong
  231. 9:55points oh okay the examiner will be
  232. 9:57thinking can I understand what this
  233. 9:59person is saying how clear are they and
  234. 10:01then um some higher level pronunciation
  235. 10:04features like intonation for example I
  236. 10:06can understand 100% of what you're
  237. 10:09saying you do have a a hint of an accent
  238. 10:12but it is extremely clear listening to
  239. 10:15you for anyone watching who has an
  240. 10:16Indian accent they shouldn't feel bad
  241. 10:18about it or or anything like that you
  242. 10:20know you shouldn't try and remove your
  243. 10:22accent I think it's about speaking as
  244. 10:23clearly as possible but you you
  245. 10:25certainly do you also use intonation
  246. 10:28extremely well so we use intonation to
  247. 10:31convey meaning for example when you came
  248. 10:34in here today and I said please sit down
  249. 10:36very flat intonation going down do I
  250. 10:38sound happy or rude or serious yeah a
  251. 10:42bit rude a bit serious but if I said we
  252. 10:43sit down my intonation is going up
  253. 10:46sounds completely different but the
  254. 10:47words are exactly the same so you use
  255. 10:50intonation like that a lot to show that
  256. 10:52you're excited about something that
  257. 10:54you're happy about it that you're talk
  258. 10:56that you're serious about something in a
  259. 10:58very very high level way which is very
  260. 11:00difficult to
  261. 11:01learn and you do it very naturally you
  262. 11:04also use connected speech um so for
  263. 11:07example if you were talking about movies
  264. 11:10someone learning English might say do
  265. 11:13you want to go to the cinema but someone
  266. 11:17at a high level like yourself do you
  267. 11:19want to go want to go signs like one
  268. 11:22word want to go cuz you're connecting
  269. 11:24all the speech up you do that lot and
  270. 11:26very naturally you also use um sentence
  271. 11:30stress which where you emphasize certain
  272. 11:32words that's your coffee so you're
  273. 11:35you're emphasizing that word because
  274. 11:36that's the most important word it's very
  275. 11:39difficult to to teach that it takes a
  276. 11:40long time to learn wow you're doing
  277. 11:42you're doing very well in that area
  278. 11:44fluency is are you able to speak without
  279. 11:48unnatural pauses without unnatural
  280. 11:51hesitation and there's there's two
  281. 11:53reasons why people pause
  282. 11:57and that that type of thing
  283. 12:00audible pauses like that one one reason
  284. 12:03is they're learning a language and
  285. 12:05they're trying to think should I use
  286. 12:07present simple or present perfect or you
  287. 12:10know what's the correct adjective to use
  288. 12:13you don't do that cuz your your language
  289. 12:16is at quite a high level you do
  290. 12:19sometimes pause and think and hesitate a
  291. 12:22little bit for the second reason which
  292. 12:25is trying to think of ideas so you can
  293. 12:27tell especially in the part three you
  294. 12:30were formulating ideas and you were let
  295. 12:33me think about that and pausing a little
  296. 12:35bit but that's natural and and a good
  297. 12:38examiner knows the difference between
  298. 12:39those two things so they're not going to
  299. 12:41give you a low Mark for pausing or
  300. 12:44hesitating a little bit for thinking of
  301. 12:46the idea now coherence is different it's
  302. 12:49did you answer the question and did you
  303. 12:51develop your answers a little bit more
  304. 12:53you need to be a little bit careful for
  305. 12:56example the first question I asked you
  306. 12:58how often do you listen to music and you
  307. 13:00told me about when you listen to music
  308. 13:03so that's slightly different M now the
  309. 13:06examiner will base their score on all of
  310. 13:10your answers it's not like oh she didn't
  311. 13:13she slightly didn't answer that question
  312. 13:15in one in one question give her a low
  313. 13:18score that's not how it works and the
  314. 13:20way that you answered that question by
  315. 13:23saying I listen to music in the car and
  316. 13:25I listen to it in the I think you said
  317. 13:28when I drive when I drive you're
  318. 13:30answering the question implicitly mhm by
  319. 13:35implication I know how often you listen
  320. 13:37to it you should try to answer each
  321. 13:40question explicitly how often do you
  322. 13:44every day I don't think that this is an
  323. 13:46issue for you today but imagine you go
  324. 13:48and do the test imagine you have a
  325. 13:51Canadian visa application that's like if
  326. 13:53I don't get this I'm going to I can't go
  327. 13:55and meet you know my family or or you
  328. 13:58know or
  329. 13:59do whatever I want to do there's a lot
  330. 14:01of pressure on you so often when people
  331. 14:04are under pressure and under stress they
  332. 14:07mess up just make sure that you answer
  333. 14:09every question exactly how they want it
  334. 14:12the same with the Q card for part two it
  335. 14:15said describe your favorite actor or
  336. 14:18actress and you did both mhm so
  337. 14:23technically an examiner would be
  338. 14:26extremely picky if they marked you down
  339. 14:28for that
  340. 14:29but again I'm not criticizing you but
  341. 14:33I'm being overly cautious because on
  342. 14:35exam day if you go and do the test you
  343. 14:39might go off and talk about something
  344. 14:42related to that topic but not really
  345. 14:44answering it correctly I think you would
  346. 14:46be fine but we just don't want to take
  347. 14:48any risks definitely towards the end
  348. 14:50especially the last question part three
  349. 14:52what the examiner is thinking about is
  350. 14:55can this person really develop their
  351. 14:57answers can they speak at length about
  352. 14:59topics the last question it was quite a
  353. 15:01short answer for part three but that was
  354. 15:04quite impressive I I'll tell you why if
  355. 15:06you get a really really difficult
  356. 15:08question in part three you should be
  357. 15:10happy because the examiner thinks you're
  358. 15:13good if the examiner thinks you're bad
  359. 15:15they'll just throw easy softball
  360. 15:17questions at you if the examiner thinks
  361. 15:19that you're really good they'll throw
  362. 15:21more and more difficult questions to
  363. 15:23really just stretch you and test you and
  364. 15:26that's what I was trying to do at the
  365. 15:27end a really good band eight band n
  366. 15:30student even if they get a question that
  367. 15:32they don't know much about they're not
  368. 15:34too sure about they will attempt it
  369. 15:35answer so your attempt at an answer even
  370. 15:38though it was quite short indicates that
  371. 15:41you are at a very high level coherence
  372. 15:43is the only area that I'm really really
  373. 15:45concerned about but overall it's very
  374. 15:48very good I'm focusing on the negative
  375. 15:50but it's only because you're you should
  376. 15:52because otherwise how would I know yeah
  377. 15:55uh grammar The Examiner will be thinking
  378. 15:57does this person have enough awareness
  379. 15:59of grammar structures that they can talk
  380. 16:01about anything like can they use
  381. 16:03comparatives to compare two things can
  382. 16:05they use superlatives to talk about

  388. 16:18I only only heard one or two small slips
  389. 16:21I think like preposition slip or an
