0:00we're going to start off by talking
0:01about art and photography do you like
0:04art H that's interesting um depends on
0:09what I like Cinema for instance movies
0:13music but I don't know too much about um
0:17paintings or Modern Art I'm not too
0:22familiar with so it depends on what kind
0:23of art do you like to take photographs
0:27yes I wouldn't say the photographs are
0:29good but I do enjoy taking pictures yeah
0:33do you prefer to take photos of yourself
0:36or other things of other things it's
0:39kind of hard to take pictures of
0:41yourself unless it's a selfie and that's
0:44limited so pictures of other things
0:47mostly now let's talk about animals do
0:51you like animals I love animals uh land
0:54animals friendly so to speak animals not
0:58insects and not anything from the ocean
1:01what is your favorite animal um probably
1:04a dog dogs for obvious reasons you can
1:08keep them as pets in terms of like
1:10non-domesticated animals probably
1:13Jaguars do you have any animals in your
1:16home as pets yes I have two dogs they're
1:20both from the shelter the animal shelter
1:23they rescues um yeah I've always had
1:27pets our family really likes keeping
1:29animals right ground now let's talk
1:31about bags what type of bags do you like
1:35I
1:36prefer purses that are a little bit on
1:39the larger side just cuz I like to put
1:43every thing of my life in my purse um so
1:49it ends up weighing maybe 20
1:52kilos yeah larger bags probably
1:55structured larger bags how often do you
1:59carry a bag when you go out every day I
2:02think that's the case for most women I
2:03think they carry a bag every even if you
2:05go down to the grocery or the
2:07supermarket you take your bag with you
2:10usually
2:11right what sort of bags do women like to
2:15buy it
2:17depends um it depends on your outfit it
2:21depends on where you're going um for the
2:23day if you're going to the office you
2:27probably want something bigger that can
2:29fit your laptop your phone
2:32paperwork um everything that you might
2:34need during the day um if it's nighttime
2:39you'd want something smaller like a
2:41clutch something more Sleek
2:43elegant um so it depends if you're
2:46traveling you'd want a much bigger bag
2:49that's able to fit mhm not just you but
2:51all of your family's stuff as well so
2:54everything women like all kinds of bags
2:56that's why we have so many of them now
2:58let's talk about birthday mhm what did
3:01you usually do on your birthday when you
3:03were a child so when I was a kid when I
3:07was a child um in school we had a
3:11uniform everybody wore a uniform to
3:13school so when it was your birthday it
3:16was the one day of the year that you
3:17were allowed to wear whatever you wanted
3:19so it was a big deal I mean at least I
3:22would pick out my outfit like two months
3:24in advance it would be like a little
3:26dress like a princessy frock matching
3:29shoes matching accessories for your hair
3:33and then you would take some kind of
3:35chocolate or candy to school and then
3:37you could take like a period off and go
3:40and give the candy out to other teachers
3:43and other kids in the school and we
3:45looked forward to it every year it was
3:47the highlight to get to not have to wear
3:50the uniform to wear whatever you wanted
3:53and to basically be able to skip class
3:56and go out and hand out chocolates cuz
3:58it's your birthday how do you normally
4:00celebrate your birthday now H very
4:03differently everyone's allowed to wear
4:05whatever they want now so it's kind of
4:07not doesn't have the same charm um it
4:11depends I like to do a little dinner
4:13with um my friends something lowkey I'm
4:17not a very big party person so dinner is
4:22usually good um followed by probably
4:25like a games night or a movies movie
4:27night at home or at the cinema something
4:31low key do you think it's important to
4:33give someone a card on their birthday
4:36like a handwritten like a birthday
4:38card um I think so yes because I'm quite
4:44sentimental and emotional so I prefer
4:48more um emotional sentimental gifts so I
4:52think if someone takes the time to write
4:54something by hand for you I think that I
4:59mean I hold on to stuff like that so I
5:01think it's a very nice thoughtful
5:04present to give someone on their
5:05birthday the first time I met a new
5:07friend so I'm going to go way back it
5:09was my first day of school
5:12kindergarten and I met a girl named Aman
5:15prit k um she we were about I think we
5:20just turned four years old uh we met
5:23obviously in
5:24kindergarten um first year of school uh
5:29what I liked about her when I first saw
5:31her I mean we were sitting together with
5:33the teacher made us sit next to each
5:35other and um she had this long
5:39hair and it was like sectioned into two
5:42parts and it was just braided all the
5:44way
5:46down and she had the cutest face I've
5:48ever seen she had this little fluffy
5:50marshmallow like face I guess that's all
5:53it takes when you're a kid to want to be
5:56friends with somebody um and then I
5:59tried tried to so there's like this
6:01little thing that kids do where they put
6:03their thumb out to show other kids that
6:06I want to be your
6:07friend um and then if you don't want to
6:10be friends with them you do this it's
6:11like a silly little thing so I did this
6:14to her I put my thumb out to say hey do
6:16you want to be
6:17friends and she was like this and I was
6:21heartbroken I was like how can she know
6:23want to be my
6:25friend um and then I saw her again the
6:29next day
6:30um and the day the next day after that
6:32and the day after that and then
6:34eventually we ended up becoming best
6:36friends she she did it back to me
6:38obviously at some point she was my first
6:40best friend that I ever had in life she
6:44was from Punjab which is a part of
6:47India um and her mom used to make the
6:52most amazing it's called parata it's
6:54like this
6:56stuffed bread it's like they put a
6:59potato and spices into like um into a
7:02flatbread and my mom used to make
7:04something called CRA which is sweet
7:08semolina situation that's the end of the
7:12two minutes okay we've been talking
7:14about a friend that you met we're going
7:17to now talk about friends at school how
7:20important is it for children to have
7:22lots of friends at school to thank you
7:25for watching this video I want to give
7:27you a free course that has help
7:28thousands of students improve their I
7:31speaking score what it's going to do is
7:33take you through every single part of
7:36the test and give you strategies for
7:38part one part two and part three and
7:40also allow you to practice at home for
7:43free and get feedback to sign up for
7:46that for free all you have to do is just
7:48click the link in the description thanks
7:50very much and let's get back to the
7:51video it depends I would say I would
7:55perhaps think that quality is more
7:57important than quantity so I wouldn't
8:00say that the objective should be to make
8:02as many friends as you can or to be
8:06popular um as much as the objective
8:09should be to build meaningful
8:11friendships with people that could be
8:13one person that could be five people
8:15that could be 10 people situational I
8:18would say yeah so it's not so much how
8:21many friends you have as um it's it's
8:25not as important to have a lot of
8:28friends as it might be to have people
8:32that you can trust that you can kind of
8:34take with you in life for a longer term
8:38do you think it is wrong for parents to
8:40choose which friends their children have
8:44H again that's a tricky one now when I
8:47answer these questions I'm thinking back
8:50to real life situations and in some
8:54cases I have seen parents
8:58interfering and trying to make those
9:00decisions for their children where they
9:03were right to do so because the child
9:05was in bad company and they were too
9:08naive or too um I mean I guess they were
9:14just too naive to see that that
9:16situation was not right for them but
9:18their parent obviously was able to
9:20identify that my child's in Bad Company
9:22so in those cases I would say that your
9:24parents are able to read a dangerous
9:27situation better but there's also the
9:30flip side
9:31where everybody kind of does make bad
9:34decisions your parents made bad
9:36decisions you made bad decisions and the
9:38way that you learn from them is to have
9:41a negativist experience and then find
9:44your way out of it um so I would say
9:48that I can see certain situations
9:51whether it's bad relationships bad
9:53friendships um when you're younger not
9:56relationships when you're younger
9:57friendships when you're younger some
9:59times it's necessary to have that
10:02experience so that you know firsthand
10:04how to deal with that situation and you
10:07may not be able to get that experience
10:09if your parents always Shield you from
10:11every single thing that can go wrong so
10:14I can kind of see depends on the
10:17situation I would say now let's talk
10:19about making new friends can you think
10:21of any disadvantages of making new
10:23friends online disadvantages of making
10:26new friends online I think the I think
10:29there's more disadvantages to
10:31making new friends I mean there was a
10:34Show recently that came out on Netflix
10:36called tender swindler the thing is with
10:40most of what we see online isn't real
10:43whether it's social media or um even
10:47news for that matter uh everything is
10:50kind of edit edited and monitored to
10:53present a certain kind of
10:55image so if you meet somebody online and
11:00you know nothing about them they can
11:02really present any version of reality or
11:06a completely um
11:10curated sometimes dishonest form of
11:14their reality to you so it's a very
11:17dangerous uh game to play friendships or
11:20relationships both friendships
11:23friendships yeah
11:26it's somebody you know nothing about is
11:28a very
11:30everything can go wrong there right
11:33would you say it is harder for people to
11:35make new friends as they get older
11:39yes I think it becomes harder for people
11:42to
11:43make um friends as they get
11:46older I think adults are perhaps a
11:49little bit
11:50more
11:52um more structured I mean the older that
11:56you get the more set you get in your
11:58ways your routine where you work your
12:02family your gym children for children it
12:05becomes it's very easy for children to
12:07interact with other children like if you
12:09put two kids in a room and 3 seconds
12:11they're talking to each other without
12:13any restriction they're talking about
12:15all of their family secrets and
12:16everything you know they they're
12:18comfortable but with adults obviously
12:21people tend to be more filtered when
12:23they interact with other
12:25adults um also I think if you've been
12:29friends from the time that you were a
12:31child with somebody you've lived through
12:33so many life events together that that
12:36kind of bond is hard to build with
12:37someone that you meet in your mid 30s
12:40because you've just lost so much time
12:43that you're learning something you're
12:45learning about them from scratch where
12:47they went to school about their family
12:49about their relationships about their
12:52siblings so yeah I think it's a it's not
12:55impossible you can make a lot of
12:57incredible friendships
12:59later in life but it's probably harder
13:03to come by than if you were a kid in
13:06play school so what I'm going to do now
13:09is give you feedback on each part cuz
13:12each part is a little bit different give
13:14you some tips on on on how to perform as
13:17well or even better um next time and
13:20then there are four marking criteria uh
13:24fluency and coherence grammar
13:26pronunciation and vocabulary and and I
13:29will give you a band for each of those
13:32and tell you what band the top is band
13:34nine so let's see if you can get get
13:36right to the top to thank you for making

14:18hope that you become a VIP if not enjoy
14:21the rest of this free video so part one
14:24it's just normal everyday questions and
14:27you answer those very very naturally
14:29again it was like talking to a friend or
14:31a colleague and the length of your
14:33answers was also quite good this is not
14:35a criticism and it's just kind of who
14:38you are as a person you're a very
14:39friendly chatty person who wants the
14:41other person to interact so you're often
14:44like girls like buying bags right that
14:46is fine in normal conversation if you
14:48were to do the test for real The
14:50Examiner could be quite stone-faced cuz
14:53they're doing their job they're not
14:55being unfriendly they just have a job to
14:57do and they're trying to think about
14:59your grammar and your vocabulary and
15:00your pronunciation and your fluency and
15:02there's a lot going on there and for
15:04them they cannot start to interact with
15:07you yeah and on test day you might not
15:10get a very friendly examiner like me I
15:14don't know whether I was friendly or you
15:16were but they might be like you know
15:19don't do that or some of them could you
15:21know be having a bad day and they just
15:23like don't ask questions now I have
15:26experienced with with not myself but
15:29other students have said when they did
15:31that they thought the examiner was
15:33criticizing them or being rude they took
15:36that to heart and thought Oh my God I
15:38failed my test and they went from doing
15:41very very well to everything fell apart
15:44because if you feel nervous yeah you
15:46feel uncomfortable with someone then it
15:49really affects your fluency you can clam
15:51up you don't want to really show your
15:53language and who you are you don't want
15:55to because one of the Great
15:59uh advantages or or great strength that
16:02you have is you you you're very open
16:05about about who you are as a person and
16:07that's great because it allows you to
16:09speak in a very fluent way if you go and
16:12do the test for real probably don't
16:14interact with the examiner as much part
16:17two you did a great job because you just
16:19picked a real event a real person from
16:22your life and it's much easier to talk
16:24about that some students try to pick
16:27something high level or impr impressive
16:29to impress The Examiner there's no such
16:31thing uh the best thing to do is pick
16:33something from your real life cuz that's
16:35easy to talk about part three you did
16:38very very well because you really
16:40extended your answers again you use real
16:42situations from your own life you don't
16:44have to do that but it really did help
16:46you develop your answers terms of the
16:49scores pronunciation is pretty much
16:52Perfect The Examiner will be thinking
16:54about can I understand every word this
16:56person is saying 100% I can understand
16:59every syllable then the examiner will be
17:02thinking about highlevel pronunciation
17:04features such as your intonation so our
17:06voices go up or voices go down you speak
17:09like a native English speaker in that
17:11respect sentence stress is when we
17:14emphasize certain words this is my phone
17:17not your phone so you emphasize certain
17:20words at times again you do that 100%
17:22naturally and then you use connected
17:24speech the way native English speakers
17:26talk we wouldn't say I want to talk
17:30about my friend he say I want to talk
17:32about my friend the flow of the language
17:34so absolutely perfect no problems there
17:37coherence and fluency coherence is did
17:39you answer the questions did you develop
17:41them enough you did that 100% of the
17:44time and then fluency is did you speak
17:46without any um unnatural pausing you did
17:50pause at times but the reason why you
17:53paused is important so in the last I
17:56think it was the second last question
17:58you were talking about adults and you
17:59were saying their lives are
18:01more structured so you weren't trying to
18:05think of the correct vocabulary because
18:07your English isn't good enough you were
18:09trying to just formulate your thoughts
18:11and come up with the appropriate precise
18:13word which you did so that demonstrates
18:16to The Examiner that you have a very
18:17high level of vocabulary cuz if you were
18:21cuz you're trying to think of the what's
18:23the word what so when people don't
18:25really know the language then they would
18:27stop and also because you approach this
18:30not as a test but more as a conversation
18:33and you are very open and talk about
18:36your your life in a very open way that
18:39really helps with fluency so again top
18:41marks for for fluency and coherence
18:44grammar I didn't hear a single grammar
18:46mistake The Examiner will be thinking
18:48about the accuracy of your grammar did
18:50you make any mistakes and the range of
18:52your grammar so if I talk to you about a
18:54birthday party in the past did you use
18:56the appropriate past tenses and then I
18:58asked you about what do you do today did
19:01you switch tenses did you use the
19:03appropriate grammatical structures and
19:05tenses to talk about it each situation
19:08and again you did that perfectly
19:10vocabulary very natural you use a nice
19:13mixture of just normal everyday words
19:16which everybody uses and you also use
19:19idiomatic language very very well so as
19:21you can see you're using very natural
19:24English and overall you would get a
19:27perfect band line oh wow which is very
19:30rare oh wow very very rare so well done
19:35thank you
