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

- 3:00out with my friends and playing football

- 3:20house you're always going to see like
- 3:22some kids playing uh or or also
- 3:24batminton actually uh people enjoy that
- 3:27a lot as well I'd like to describe my
- 3:29favorite actor and actress um so my
- 3:32favorite actor will be Benedict
- 3:34Cumberbatch and um my favorite actress
- 3:37is Angelina Julie and I like their
- 3:40movies so much um they usually star in
- 3:43action films or mystery films and that's
- 3:46very similar to where I am like in my
- 3:49personal life I love mysterious stuff
- 3:51I'm I'm like always into like detective
- 3:54uh theories or mystery books and stuff
- 3:58like that so I always watch movies as
- 4:00such and their acting is on point it's
- 4:03always number one and I like Angelina
- 4:05Julie also for her humanitarian work
- 4:07that she does throughout her life she's
- 4:09been very present uh with charity work
- 4:12and um making sure that a lot of kids
- 4:17are fed in countries which are
- 4:19unfortunate and I really like that about
- 4:21her and I also like how Fierce she is
- 4:24and uh when she presents herself it's
- 4:26it's very divine feminine so I really
- 4:29really like that and I feel like she has
- 4:31that sort of energy where um a woman can
- 4:34feel powerful about herself just by
- 4:36looking at her and kind of
- 4:39um understanding where she comes from
- 4:41she doesn't really come from a very
- 4:44mentally stable place but now at this
- 4:46point in her life she's a very like
- 4:49strong woman and and she's done it all
- 4:51herself and Benedict Kash I actually
- 4:54watched his uh TV show which was called
- 4:56Sherlock and I am a crazy Sherlock fan
- 4:59and I'm I love mystery like I said and
- 5:02um detective stories and everything and
- 5:04him playing that really showed me what
- 5:06kind of an incredible actor he is
- 5:08because I felt like I'm watching
- 5:09Sherlock Holmes from the books and not
- 5:12an actor on screen and um he's also done
- 5:16a movie that I really love it's called
- 5:17Doctor Strange that's my favorite
- 5:19superhero from The Avengers and he has
- 5:22just done an amazing job uh in that
- 5:25movie so we've been talking about a
- 5:27famous actress and actor that that you
- 5:30enjoy and we're going to continue to
- 5:31talk about movies and and Theater what
- 5:33are the most popular types of movies in
- 5:36your country it would be to thank you
- 5:39for watching this video I want to give
- 5:41you a free course that has helped
- 5:43thousands of students improve their I
- 5:46speaking score what it's going to do is
- 5:48take you through every single part of
- 5:50the test and give you strategies for
- 5:52part one part two and part three and
- 5:54also allow you to practice at home for
- 5:57free and get feedback to sign up for
- 5:59that for free all you have to do is just
- 6:01click the link in the description thanks
- 6:03very much and let's get back to the
- 6:04video it would be action and drama
- 6:09definitely something that has to do with
- 6:11emotional connection it's usually
- 6:15fictional that I would say um and also
- 6:19comedy yeah there's a lot of Comedy that
- 6:22goes on in the films that are coming out
- 6:24now and from India do you think that
- 6:27going to the cinema will be as popular
- 6:30in the future uh I think 50/50 yeah I'm
- 6:34not sure about that but it looks like uh
- 6:36people enjoy watching movies at home and
- 6:40uh it's not as much uh exciting as it
- 6:43used to be back then and um I think
- 6:47probably yes it would be more digitally
- 6:50available at home and uh probably yeah
- 6:54now let's talk about the theater how
- 6:56strong a tradition is it today in your
- 6:58country to go to the theater um mostly I
- 7:03think in out of City areas actually it's
- 7:07mostly now as a as an activity that
- 7:10families go to with their kids just to
- 7:13show a play to their kids and to
- 7:15introduce them to this form of um
- 7:19culture and activity I think it's more
- 7:21of that now uh theater is not as much
- 7:25popularized uh back in India as much as
- 7:28Cinema and film and movies are so I
- 7:31think that is kind of on the backseat um
- 7:34it's not so much as it used to be do you
- 7:37think that theater should be run as a
- 7:39business or as a public service oo I
- 7:42think both I think it goes hand in hand
- 7:45um so that people can be employed as
- 7:49well at the same time and um it it is of
- 7:51a public service at the same time I
- 7:53think
- 7:55um I think that people do enjoy it but
- 7:58at the same time uh um it could be used
- 8:01as an as an excuse and used as like um
- 8:06an opportunity what I'm is what I mean
- 8:08uh to employ people and uh because
- 8:11there's a lot of people who would love
- 8:12to do acting but they can't really make
- 8:14it in the movies so maybe they could use
- 8:16theater as um as their hobby so I think
- 8:20yeah both can go hand in hand in some
- 8:22countries governments pay theaters to
- 8:26put on shows for the public do you think
- 8:29this is good use of public money it
- 8:32depends on if whether or not if it's
- 8:35free to the public because if you're
- 8:37charging for them to see that play then
- 8:39it doesn't make any sense is what I
- 8:42think and I think that it shouldn't be
- 8:46this way in the first place I think it
- 8:48should be available freely to the people
- 8:52um yeah let me give you some feedback on
- 8:54your performance so you're hoping to get
- 8:56a b nine and I'll go through the four
- 9:00markting criteria so pronunciation
- 9:02fluency and coherence grammar and
- 9:05vocabulary so let's start off with your

- 9:51the rest of this free video
- 9:52pronunciation is one of your your strong
- 9:55points oh okay the examiner will be
- 9:57thinking can I understand what this
- 9:59person is saying how clear are they and
- 10:01then um some higher level pronunciation
- 10:04features like intonation for example I
- 10:06can understand 100% of what you're
- 10:09saying you do have a a hint of an accent
- 10:12but it is extremely clear listening to
- 10:15you for anyone watching who has an
- 10:16Indian accent they shouldn't feel bad
- 10:18about it or or anything like that you
- 10:20know you shouldn't try and remove your
- 10:22accent I think it's about speaking as
- 10:23clearly as possible but you you
- 10:25certainly do you also use intonation
- 10:28extremely well so we use intonation to
- 10:31convey meaning for example when you came
- 10:34in here today and I said please sit down
- 10:36very flat intonation going down do I
- 10:38sound happy or rude or serious yeah a
- 10:42bit rude a bit serious but if I said we
- 10:43sit down my intonation is going up
- 10:46sounds completely different but the
- 10:47words are exactly the same so you use
- 10:50intonation like that a lot to show that
- 10:52you're excited about something that
- 10:54you're happy about it that you're talk
- 10:56that you're serious about something in a
- 10:58very very high level way which is very
- 11:00difficult to
- 11:01learn and you do it very naturally you
- 11:04also use connected speech um so for
- 11:07example if you were talking about movies
- 11:10someone learning English might say do
- 11:13you want to go to the cinema but someone
- 11:17at a high level like yourself do you
- 11:19want to go want to go signs like one
- 11:22word want to go cuz you're connecting
- 11:24all the speech up you do that lot and
- 11:26very naturally you also use um sentence
- 11:30stress which where you emphasize certain
- 11:32words that's your coffee so you're
- 11:35you're emphasizing that word because
- 11:36that's the most important word it's very
- 11:39difficult to to teach that it takes a
- 11:40long time to learn wow you're doing
- 11:42you're doing very well in that area
- 11:44fluency is are you able to speak without
- 11:48unnatural pauses without unnatural
- 11:51hesitation and there's there's two
- 11:53reasons why people pause
- 11:57and that that type of thing
- 12:00audible pauses like that one one reason
- 12:03is they're learning a language and
- 12:05they're trying to think should I use
- 12:07present simple or present perfect or you
- 12:10know what's the correct adjective to use
- 12:13you don't do that cuz your your language
- 12:16is at quite a high level you do
- 12:19sometimes pause and think and hesitate a
- 12:22little bit for the second reason which
- 12:25is trying to think of ideas so you can
- 12:27tell especially in the part three you
- 12:30were formulating ideas and you were let
- 12:33me think about that and pausing a little
- 12:35bit but that's natural and and a good
- 12:38examiner knows the difference between
- 12:39those two things so they're not going to
- 12:41give you a low Mark for pausing or
- 12:44hesitating a little bit for thinking of
- 12:46the idea now coherence is different it's
- 12:49did you answer the question and did you
- 12:51develop your answers a little bit more
- 12:53you need to be a little bit careful for
- 12:56example the first question I asked you
- 12:58how often do you listen to music and you
- 13:00told me about when you listen to music
- 13:03so that's slightly different M now the
- 13:06examiner will base their score on all of
- 13:10your answers it's not like oh she didn't
- 13:13she slightly didn't answer that question
- 13:15in one in one question give her a low
- 13:18score that's not how it works and the
- 13:20way that you answered that question by
- 13:23saying I listen to music in the car and
- 13:25I listen to it in the I think you said
- 13:28when I drive when I drive you're
- 13:30answering the question implicitly mhm by
- 13:35implication I know how often you listen
- 13:37to it you should try to answer each
- 13:40question explicitly how often do you
- 13:44every day I don't think that this is an
- 13:46issue for you today but imagine you go
- 13:48and do the test imagine you have a
- 13:51Canadian visa application that's like if
- 13:53I don't get this I'm going to I can't go
- 13:55and meet you know my family or or you
- 13:58know or
- 13:59do whatever I want to do there's a lot
- 14:01of pressure on you so often when people
- 14:04are under pressure and under stress they
- 14:07mess up just make sure that you answer
- 14:09every question exactly how they want it
- 14:12the same with the Q card for part two it
- 14:15said describe your favorite actor or
- 14:18actress and you did both mhm so
- 14:23technically an examiner would be
- 14:26extremely picky if they marked you down
- 14:28for that
- 14:29but again I'm not criticizing you but
- 14:33I'm being overly cautious because on
- 14:35exam day if you go and do the test you
- 14:39might go off and talk about something
- 14:42related to that topic but not really
- 14:44answering it correctly I think you would
- 14:46be fine but we just don't want to take
- 14:48any risks definitely towards the end
- 14:50especially the last question part three
- 14:52what the examiner is thinking about is
- 14:55can this person really develop their
- 14:57answers can they speak at length about
- 14:59topics the last question it was quite a
- 15:01short answer for part three but that was
- 15:04quite impressive I I'll tell you why if
- 15:06you get a really really difficult
- 15:08question in part three you should be
- 15:10happy because the examiner thinks you're
- 15:13good if the examiner thinks you're bad
- 15:15they'll just throw easy softball
- 15:17questions at you if the examiner thinks
- 15:19that you're really good they'll throw
- 15:21more and more difficult questions to
- 15:23really just stretch you and test you and
- 15:26that's what I was trying to do at the
- 15:27end a really good band eight band n
- 15:30student even if they get a question that
- 15:32they don't know much about they're not
- 15:34too sure about they will attempt it
- 15:35answer so your attempt at an answer even
- 15:38though it was quite short indicates that
- 15:41you are at a very high level coherence
- 15:43is the only area that I'm really really
- 15:45concerned about but overall it's very
- 15:48very good I'm focusing on the negative
- 15:50but it's only because you're you should
- 15:52because otherwise how would I know yeah
- 15:55uh grammar The Examiner will be thinking
- 15:57does this person have enough awareness
- 15:59of grammar structures that they can talk
- 16:01about anything like can they use
- 16:03comparatives to compare two things can
- 16:05they use superlatives to talk about
- 16:07their favorite things and talk about the
- 16:08best things whatever I throw at you
- 16:10you're able to to handle that and
- 16:13they'll also then think about how many
- 16:15grammar mistakes are you making I think
- 16:18I only only heard one or two small slips
- 16:21I think like preposition slip or an
- 16:23article slip but that is comparable to a
- 16:26native English speaker if you listen to
- 16:28native English speakers speak for 15 20
- 16:30minutes they'll make little preposition
- 16:32errors or subject verb agreement errors
- 16:35that's natural so don't need to worry
- 16:38about that and your vocabulary is also
- 16:40excellent for example this you use very
- 16:42topic specific words and idiomatic
- 16:45language which is great only very high
- 16:47level students actually do that so your
- 16:49final Bond score would be the highest
- 16:51one which is a bond n no way thank you
- 16:55so much yeah that's amazing but but but
- 16:58if on test day you didn't answer the
- 17:02questions in part one you didn't really
- 17:05answer the question in part two and you
- 17:07didn't develop your answers enough in
- 17:09part three that would drop you down a
- 17:12little bit not hugely MH but just be
- 17:16careful with that all right less than 1%
- 17:19of people get about nine oh wow yeah so
- 17:22there you go thank you
