schedule is on the YouTube community board hi Sam cut Nuria it's a new member hi Sam nice of you to join our group of members make sure to send me an email ok students so this is speaking and wherever you are in the world whichever country city you're in whether you're in a library in your bedroom at home when your office I really want to believe that you are speaking so it's great that you're using the chat and your fingers to communicate I want you to use your vocal cords your tongue your mouth and speak as well this is a speaking class so please speak with me ok copy my intonation copy my pronunciation my enunciation so just try to match what you hear ok and it's not a bad idea to be a little bit melodramatic it means exaggerated give a little bit of extra into your voice ok usually when we speak another language if it feels a little bit strange it's probably right okay so let's warm up those speaking muscles with some of the questions that your examiner will definitely ask you it's the meet and greet ok so here we go what is your full name please give me some nice full sentences for this express yourself if you have answered this question ten times before try to answer it in a different way this eleventh time okay so say your name in different ways okay Raj nee bug Roth if you keep watching these classes keep practicing you can speak just like me okay murasa Baraka says my family name is Baraka and my given name is murasa as you can see in my passport please address me by my nickname which is meri very nice murasa nice expressive confident shows that you're prepared you're using adjective clauses that's good okay chef on the way says you can call me by my first name Raghav and I'm guessing you probably said your full name before that Poonam knew pain says my name is Poonam knew pain but you can simply call me Poonam I like that simply call me Poonam that's good it's nice natural expression okay alright Raman Singh says my name is Raman Deep Singh you can call me by my nickname ramond that's good hikmah tillow states my given name is hikmah till oh my surname is Rahman ov please call me simply as hikmah till oh I like that okay that's nice all right good job students so you have some different ways of introducing yourself and when you get this question asked it should kind of trigger like a light bulb in your head to be confident okay you paid good money to be there you're not going to improve your English in that immediate situation so everything you know is inside of your head be expressive be confident believe in yourself okay it's very very important so mmm my full name is Franklin Matthews please just refer to me by my nickname Frankie okay so again I'm just coming up with another way that you can express yourself for this question repeat after me okay repeat students practice questions not just answers okay what is your full name my full name is Franklin Matthews please just refer to me by my nickname Frankie all right Frankie may I see your identification these are going to be the first two questions either may I see your identification first and then your name or vice versa but definitely the first two questions because the examiner has to make sure that they're interviewing the correct person there's no foul play there's no doppelganger going in instead of the candidate it's happened before so these are your first two questions so be prepared and be confident the reason why it's a good idea to practice these questions every time a hundred times is because you will be very confident when you get to the real situation so never be shy and don't be bored to practice these questions often so may I see your identification give me some nice full sentence answers for that question please elite gamer says here it is Manish cut to reassess sure here's my passport Oleum John Asimov says yeah you can sir you can check it out Oh them John you have a missing word there it's check it out okay or you can please check it okay yeah you can't sir please check it okay because you're asking you're requesting for the check okay all right Amira hi amira nice to see another member in the class Amira says yes of course here it is okay Karen vir says here it is have a look again these are all nice natural responses so far students just make sure that you're also really practicing your pronunciation and your intonation for these responses so the examiner feels like you've been focusing on pronunciation elements as well you don't need to have a really crisp English accent to get a high band score but you do need a clear pronunciation okay Sam cut Nuria says yes sir or madam here it is please have a look okay express yourselves right so yes of course just let me dig my passport out of my pocket and here you are please take a look okay so if any of you get into that really kind of awkward situation where you have tight pads and your passports stuck in your pocket happens often to people because passports are kind of there they're a little bit large size so they can get stuck in our pockets you can say something like this yes of course just let me dig my passport out of my pocket and here you are please take a look so just let me dig my passport out of my pocket and here you are please take a look okay all right so now the examiner will ask you a few more questions to get to know you better they'll probably explain that the speaking has three parts I will give you instructions for each part it will take roughly 12 to 15 minutes and then you say yes of course I'm ready to go okay so always respond to the examiner so that will show your confidence and it will keep you fluent so anytime the examiner says a sentence don't just sit there quietly and pull yourself together don't close yourself open body posture forward thinking forward speaking breathe deep all right so to begin with just some questions to get to know you better some questions on a general topic do you work or study this is a very popular question among examiner's so make sure you prepare for this one do you work or study again repeat the question then answer okay all right then I see yex tons in the class and four dogs in here as well very good okay fir Dobbs nabiyev our member says I have been working for the last ten years in st. Petersburg Russia as an account manager by the way I have been trying to learn English to pursue my master's degree as well okay so for dogs to small Corrections I have been working for the last ten years okay for the is missing there and I've been trying to learn English to pursue a master's degree as well so join students join as well okay I'd be confident for Dobbs instead of saying I've been trying to learn be affirmative say I've been learning I've been learning English to pursue my master's degree okay sharing is caring Kapil AC says currently I'm studying in higher secondary level in science faculty okay I'm not sure sharing is caring what you mean by higher secondary level okay high school is considered secondary school and college university is considered post-secondary school or a higher level education we don't really say higher secondary level in science I've never heard it could be wrong okay alright otherwise it looks good alright looks good as well as I'm attending IELTS classes for my further education to Australia a good sharing is caring now being Reggie says well I've completed my diploma level twice as the second time month ago now I'm preparing for IELTS specifically to pursue my postgraduate education okay careful with your word students and your word choices okay make sure to really focus on answering these questions with clear accurate English that's really important first impressions do matter and you want to come across as very clear accurate coherent cohesive in the beginning okay Quan Pablo Ovilla says I'm working as an independent designer for companies doing special projects and involves a lot of thinking and problem-solving abilities I've also been studying for this exam for about a year very nice Juan Pablo very nice okay then when septon says last year I finished my university and now I'm waiting for graduation which will be held in February then when we actually call that convocation okay so your graduation ceremony and your convocation when you get all your documents and papers convocation okay which will be held in February and I'm learning English to pursue my master's degree very good then win nicely done okay good job I'm really enjoying students that you are putting yourself out there and making an effort to use higher-level grammar and a lot of you are using present perfect and present perfect progressive which is really nice okay your examiner will catch that and that will count for your grammatical range and accuracy so that's great to increase your grammatical range and accuracy as well as sounding natural use contractions in your speaking for the present perfect okay so I'll show you what I mean so I've been working part time as a waiter at a local diner and I've been studying both in university for my bachelor's degree in engineering and at home for this IELTS exam so that I can pursue my master's abroad after convocation okay so there's that word that I mentioned earlier land win convocation all right it's so again good job students with using the present perfect progressive okay the I've been working or I've been studying that's nice again that increases your grammatical range all right an accuracy score notice that what I've done here is I've I've I've keep saying I've native speakers usually don't say I have unless they're really enunciate that present perfect most of the time we use the contraction I've uh okay especially with the progressive form because otherwise it gets really long like I have being verb ing so we try to condense that okay so you want to sound natural then use the contraction now when you use a contraction in speaking okay don't use contraction in writing so when you use the contraction in your speaking it's really important to enunciate the ve the reason is that when someone with an accent is using contractions it's a little bit harder to hear for native speakers at times okay so I'm just going to make that note and that tip for you okay so it's really good that you're using the present perfect use contractions okay so it's great that you are showing complex grammar with present perfect to increase your score even more use contractions like I've okay and make sure to really enunciate the ve okay so I've I've I've been part working part-time as a waiter at a local diner and I've been studying both in university for my bachelor's degree in engineering and at home for this IELTS exam so that I can pursue my master's abroad after convocation now here's dinner so let's change that to diner okay all right um next question students I think everybody got that if that's not clear you can ask me later or send me an email here we go next question what do you like about your work or study okay so follow-up questions are more common than ever in the IELTS exam the examiners are really digging for details that helps them to differentiate the higher level students band six seven eight nine and so on so be really ready for these follow-up questions so what do you like about your work or study okay so Salaam Karim says it's very challenging and gives me the chance to always meet new people which is very important and improve my public relations in the marketplace Salaam it's not bad just make sure to include the question and your answer to make it really clear what I like about my work is and now you've also created conditional right so what I like about my work and my school is that it's very challenging and gives me the chance to frequently meet new people which is important for me to improve my public relations skills for the marketplace that's your band 9 answer Salaam ok otherwise not bad at all all right Gunjan Bhat says I'm not going to lie I just feel it's very challenging because I have to deal with many students and the thing that motivates me the most is I never get bored good John use I don't switch to you that's awkward now you're talking about me not yourself so don't do that it never gets boring you want to use the present progressive or present tense for that because you're making a general statement good John so careful with your grammar all right let's see some other answers here violet neuen says the thing that I love about studying is that I can learn about new things in the world ok students don't use the word things remember I say this often don't use the word thing don't use the word stuff always always find the better noun so violent new in the aspect that I love the most about studying is I can learn new information about the world much much better sounding you're going to get more points for lexical resource you're going to get a higher band score all right violet knew and if you use the word thing twice in one sentence and you keep doing that your lexical resource okay score basically your vocabulary score is going to decrease okay not being reg me says well that's an interesting question I like mostly the students because student life is really enjoyable lots of great memories and I meet many friends now being not bad again I corrected made it more natural students don't use an expression like well that's an interesting question when it's not an interesting question okay so please don't use fillers unnecessarily that's a really important tip so it's okay to say that's an interesting question or a unique question if it really is but this isn't okay so here's a tip okay it's really important do not use fillers when they are inappropriate like that's an interesting question doc when it's not really an interesting question if it is use that expression but if it's not then don't use it what do you like about your workers study it's not a particularly interesting question it's just a common everyday question okay so make sure to avoid that because you will lose marks okay so if you do this if you use fillers unnecessarily you will lose banned scores okay keep that in mind all right what do you like about your workers studying the part I like or the aspect okay not thing okay so the part I like most about my studies is that I'm constantly learning new and interesting facts not things about the world just the other day a professor informed me that there is a type of plant a walking cactus that can actually move locations all right so I hear a couple of exciting fun interesting points while answering this question repeat after me what do you like about your work or study the part I like most about my studies is that I'm constantly learning new and interesting facts about the world just the other day a professor informed me that there's a type of plant a walking cactus that I can actually move locations as funny as you think that might sound there is actually a cactus that is able to with its roots through hydraulics slowly but surely relocate to other places so that's an interesting fact for you don't use the word things increase your lexical resource I hope that makes sense okay so that's another tip alright there's another tip always find a word better and it's usually a noun of course better than thing or stuff as this will help you improve your lexical resource basically your vocabulary score okay and it will actually help you be more fluent as well I hope that our that makes sense so far students now after your warmup the examiner will say okay a little bit more for part one let's talk about water all right so the examiner will introduce some kind of a topic and that will deal with that topic and will deal with you okay all right Anusha yes you can write capitals for listening students I don't mind answering any question just try to stay on topic try to focus on the speaking okay all right here we go so let's talk about water I just had a sip of water what a great and beautiful molecule water is alright so let's talk about water h2o aqua here we go how often do you drink water in a day give me a nice full sentence answer for that one so how often do you drink water in a day okay so that's what we're gonna talk about oh no worries the news show it's fine alright so flowers son says I usually drink two bottles of water everyday even when I'm at school too as it reduces frustration keeps me calm and situations and quenches my thirst MS says I frequently drink water roughly one liter per day using my reusable water bottle both working at my office and sitting at my couch at home and that's nice use of the correlative conjunctions and and I like how you're being environmentally friendly with the reusable water bottle very good okay dicey SPB says actually I drink about two liters of water a day I don't count exactly but I start my day with a glass of water as it helps to flush my system not our so dicey SPB remember we're staying with me my eye okay helps to flush my system my body okay Aisha says I tried to drink water frequently during the day yesterday I drank about a glasses roughly two liters this keeps me hydrated healthy and happy right it's very good okay you shed a little bit more but otherwise not bad at all okay so let's do this I frequently drink water throughout the day yesterday I probably had about eight glasses roughly two liters I'm quite aware that drinking water is essential for my health and mood so I do pay attention to this and always carry a water bottle with me okay alright let's do it repeat after me students so you've probably noticed a lot of you that I am making sure that I answer then I explain and finally when necessary I include an example especially for this part one because I'm talking about myself right and students fYI you should be drinking closer to two eaters of water per day all right so here we go repeat after me how often do you drink water in a day I frequently drink water throughout the day yesterday I probably had about eight glasses roughly two liters I'm quite aware that drinking water is essential for my health and mood so I pay attention to do this and always carry a water bottle with me boom and nine no problem there you go next question now here's where you might want to say something like that's an interesting question do you like the taste of water do you like the taste of water okay now here is where you might say well it's an interesting question because I think that's kind of a question where it's not that strange but it's definitely interesting a meet says needless to say water is tasteless so every person will not feel the taste of water I don't know I meant that's your opinion but I would disagree I definitely think water has taste I'm drinking this water here certainly seems to me like it has taste maxime you John Saburo says yep I like the taste of water at crank quenches my thirst quickly and it has no bad smell to it especially the water I drink very good okay that's a good answer I try to buy bottled water as much as possible and drink that okay geun-tae but I think you're off topic there asilah aziz OVA says absolutely I love the taste of water because I can never live without it it helps me to stay healthy asila good again students please please please remember okay here's another tip I have to write it down because it seems like many of you forgetting this tip and it's an important one whenever questions are asked about you it is very important that you respond with the appropriate pronoun or pronouns I me my myself as this is accurate and coherent okay do not switch to you us our we people okay this is confusing even if you're a native speaker and you do that in conversation you can confuse people okay if I'm asking about you whether or not you like the taste of water and you start telling me about people and people's opinion if to the taste of water then we're miscommunicating okay I'm asking about your opinion you're telling me about the people's opinion those are two very different concepts so please please please focus on the question okay yo Makwana says nope it's none of your business you can say that but the outs examiner will say well it's my business the score that I give you and I just gave you a five because you're not expressing yourself YUM so I mean you paid to be there right might as well express yourself okay so do you like the taste of water I would say yes but that's just me yes I absolutely love the taste of water it has a slightly sweet and minerally flavor and there is nothing better on a hot summer day when I feel dehydrated or after a good workout then a cool glass of h2o alright so here we go students repeat after me do you like the taste of water why or why not there's some brackets they won't ask you that if you answer yes I absolutely love the taste of water it has a slightly sweet and minerally flavor and there's nothing better on a hot summer day when I feel dehydrated or after a good workout then a cool glass of h2o alright dehydrated hydro meaning water dehydrated meaning your system is lacking water okay lacking water alright next question

but after jogging in the morning and a meal I like to drink water the most Arafat you have some really good ideas okay so after jogging and after a meal I love your comparisons to just really pay attention to the grammar okay alright a meet Rana says after playing with my friends at the playground I drink a bottle of water it gives me energy to play more so this is when I really especially enjoy that water students use the question okay it's a time condition when do you like to the time I like to the most okay so use the question in your answer all right use the question use the

Lazare petkov ski says I like to drink water after workout and after dinner alright sadhana sock says just after bed and before going to the gym I really enjoy a cup of hot water with some lemon zest with a little bit of lemon okay very nice kee Zito ahem who says water is essential in my life I like taking an h2o after a day working out in the morning and evening and also after a meal cos eat oh it's not a contrast so don't use nevertheless okay mister big style whenever I'm thirsty especially after hard work I always drink about a half liter of water it helps me rejuvenate just before this exam I drank a bottle of water to feel alive mr. Beck style good ideas watch her grammar watch your abbreviations 500 milligrams is incorrect you were thinking 500 milliliters its ml but you can say half a liter okay so well aside from a hot day in the Sun or going to the gym I especially enjoy drinking some water in the morning after waking up and when I feel a bit stressed like just before coming into this interview all right there we go so repeat after me students when do you like to drink water well aside from a hot day in the Sun or going to the gym as I had just mentioned I especially enjoy drinking some water in the morning after waking up and when I feel a bit stressed like before coming into this interview I don't know about you but when I feel stressed I tend to get cottonmouth okay it's called cottonmouth when your mouth is dry it's called cottonmouth okay I'll write that here cottonmouth okay it's dry mouth all right next question students rolling along really nicely I must say there are a lot of fantastic comments in the stream and you're putting yourselves out there that's great students you're doing a fantastic job when you hear new words you hear new grammar from me make sure to write that down so you can practice that later okay where can you buy water in your area give me a nice full sentence answer to this one where can you buy water in your area for dogs nub you remember says I prefer to purchase some bottles of water on the first floor of my house it's just two minutes away and it's also cheaper than at the supermarkets in my vicinity I in fact I bought this bottle that I have with me in my exam at that place yeah that's a good one for dogs yes you are allowed to bring with you some drinking water into the interview because you might be nervous so yeah for dogs that's good might as well say that if you have a bottle of water from the first floor in your building where you can purchase it all right let's see some other answers mid hey could poop kedai poem says water is available almost everywhere in my area I purchased the water bottles from the store while the water for other purposes I buy from the local municipal office okay you have to explain that to me I can guess municipality is the noun mid hate municipality if you're looking for a noun there alright jake'd Hussein says basically I get water from the water pump in my home otherwise I buy it from a nearby grocery store Jahid very good okay so now remember this is by not get right you might get water from different places a river a lake an underground reservoir a pump there are lots of polices to get water but here the focus is by so where do you purchase water make sure to pay attention to that in your answer okay it's very important Rajveer Singh our other member says in Gorgan I can purchase water effortlessly from a grocery store which is just five minutes walk from my home like today I bought two water bottles to satisfy my thirst yeah and the other way you can see that reg beers quench quench my thirst okay so most corner stores grocery shops and gas stations sell water around my home I usually buy 1 liter water bottles just down the street as I did today so that I can quench my thirst ok so when you're thirsty to negate your thirst to make yourself not thirsty what we say is you quench your thirst quench my thirst ok satisfy my hunger quench my thirst satisfy my hunger quench my thirst so repeat after me students where can you buy water in your area most corner stores grocery shops and gas stations sell water around my home I usually buy pay attention to your spelling buy 1 liter water bottles just on the street as I did today so that I can quench my thirst okay - there are right students next and final question has the quality of your drinking water changed since you were a child if yes how okay this is the final question give me your best answer alright so has the quality of your drinking water changed since you were a child and of course one of the times I like to drink water that's what I'm doing lots of talking and I love to tell you it definitely tastes great I think it's just a common misconception that water is flavorless because it's tasting fantastic alright let's see what you come up with East yuck Jomon says I don't think so as I live in a clean city and the water I normally get from nature is quite good and seems to me the same as before but if I considered bottled water than my answer is yes it has changed okay a steak if you make that statement make sure to explain it okay that was good though alright for dodge WF says yes it has transformed when I was 68 years old the quality of water was blue and color like the sky but nowadays it has some kind of dark blue color okay suspicious interesting and suspicious elite gamer says yes the quality of water has changed a lot a lot is two words elite gamer as now water purification systems have improved I find tap water cleaner it tastes better okay I'm happy to hear that elite gamer so changing for the better as water purification systems have improved Baggs odd heir Knopf says it is axiomatic that the quality of my drinking water has changed dramatically this is mainly because bottled water is pure nowadays it doesn't have extra added chemicals all right like maybe fluoride or something good Latifah says yes the quality has changed dramatically in the past my family relied on a well to get drinking water and for cooking but nowadays we can get fresh water directly from the tap and we rely more on filters all right so certainly the quality of drinking water has become very different from my youth back then the tap water wasn't as clean as today and often people were advised to boil it before using it for drinking or cooking but now water purification systems have greatly improved with technology and people including myself never worry about having to boil it before consumption alright so a nice lengthy clear clean complex answer for this last question repeat after me has the quality of your drinking water changed since you were a child certainly the quality of drinking water has become very different from my youth back then the tap water wasn't as cleanest today and often people were advised to boil it before using it for drinking or cooking but now water purification systems have greatly improved with technology and people including myself never worry about having to boil it before consumption okay all right students nice job today I can still see a lot of comments which is fantastic students for over a hundred hours of HD video lessons from me and from some other instructors as well make sure to join our premium packages at AE help calm for academic IELTS and G IELTS help calm for general so these kinds of lessons and strategies you can get them in high quality for general IELTS green background GI LTS help calm and for academic IELTS AE help calm with the blue background click that big red button to join our programs I hope everybody enjoyed this class I will be back tomorrow with speaking part 2 and listening strategies in practice you're very very welcome Anusha anatoly max mu john sub you love great participation for dogs I love how you're always taking initiative to answer questions that's great you're very welcome everybody much love from the heart of Europe Budapest Hungary bye for now
