IELTS Speaking Band 9 Clear Answers - Ukraine

[Music] welcome to the speaking portion of the ielts exam my name is adrian i will be your examiner for this part of the test and i'm recording this for marking and clerical purposes the speaking has three parts i will give you instructions for each this is candidate number nine seven three five one six we are currently conducting the exam in odessa the time right now is 14 o'clock to start may i see your identification please can you just show me the page with your credentials sure here is my passport i used it for registration last month thank you and what is your full name my full name is alona salafiova but you can call me by my first name alona okay elona for part one i will ask you a couple of questions to get to know you better and some questions on a general topic where do you live i live in odessa odessa is a coastal city along the black sea and i live in a studio apartment not far from the water what is your favorite sport my favorite sport is women i usually swim when it's warm outside and in colder months i prefer to go to the local pool let's talk about shoes do you prefer trendy or comfortable shoes why well i think that trendy and comfortable are not mutually exclusive things and i think that comfortable shoes can also look good you can walk the whole day looking good and having no discomfort can you easily find your shoe size in stores i am like it to have an average women's shoe size my size is six and i don't have any difficulties to find a shoe size what kind of shoes do you usually wear and why i usually wear clogs and loafers and this allows me to be elegant and comfortable at the same time i wear these shoes from five to six times a week and in colder months i prefer to wear boots and these boots will keep my feet warm and look good do you spend a lot on shoes i have to admit that i do i can spend an average of one thousand greenness a month on shoes easily but i just recently got a new pair of shoes that cost me around 3 500 greenness have the kind of shoes you wear daily changed over the past 10 years i think so yes since i have grown into adulthood over the past decade and i work now my shoes became more expensive and they look nice i used to wear sneakers more often when i was studying at the university if you could buy any pair of shoes in the world what would they be given a chance i would love to get a white kitten heel shoes they are not only looking good but also pretty unique i would love to have a pair but they can be really hard to come by in the introduction the examiner asks alona where they live alona answers this question with perfect grammar and vocabulary saying that i live in a studio apartment it is this type of subtle grammatical difference that leads to a band 8 instead of a band 9. analyzing the part 1 questions further when the examiner asks alona do you spend a lot on shoes she very confidently fluently and with great natural pronunciation and intonation states i have to admit that i do i can spend an average of a thousand grievedness a month easily notice this word at the end easily and how she intonates it sounding just like a native speaker this is what you have to achieve to get that perfect band 9 for pronunciation and fluency that is the end of part 1. we will now continue with part two for this part i will show you some questions you will have one minute to read these questions and you will have one to two minutes to speak in the one minute preparation time you can take notes if you wish you have your pencil and there's some note paper there in front of you i will tell you when to start and when to stop please do not touch the piece of paper talk about a person you had to be friendly with but you didn't really like your one minute preparation time begins now [Music] [Music] alona your one minute preparation time is up please begin speaking uh i clearly recall having to be friendly with my professor of science mr cedar even though i didn't really much like him he was a stout man with a big belly and thick glasses and i lost him because i always felt he was unfair to students he would give pop-up quizzes with the information we were not prepared for also he was biased he favored students who liked him and i thought that it would be a good idea if i would pretend to be friendly with mr sidorov especially during my final year i had to have a big presentation on my final topic and it would greatly impact my overall gpa and overall grade point average should be 95 but i thought it would be a good idea to be nice with mr cedar so that he would put a good grade on this final exam even though i didn't really much like mr sidorov i would often compliment him for his smart and good ideas and in the end of the year i gave a 20-minute presentation about environmental impact of the greenhouse effect it causes and unfortunately my attitude and my presentation were well received and i got an overall score of 90 percent i was really happy with that on the inside although i didn't express my true feelings to mr seder i think i did a right decision for my future in the end of the day my post-secondary studies are way more important than relations or expressing my true feelings to professor who i may never see again in my life your time is up there alone i'm going to stop you please put the note paper to the side and turn it over along with the pencil and now we will continue with part three when elona starts her cue card response she very clearly and fluently explains that she loathed her professor because he would favor other students and give pop-up quizzes that they were not prepared for it's this kind of unique and natural diction that attains the band 9 result extreme for this part i will ask you a question related to your response and some questions connected to this topic if you met mr asidorao today would you still be friendly with him oh yes absolutely i don't see any reason that i should be rude to him in the end of the day he passed a lot of knowledge to me and i'm really grateful for that let's talk about being friendly do you think it is necessary to be friendly i think so yes humans are social creatures and to be friendly is one of the life very crucial life skills nowadays and people are stronger when they work together that's why being friendly is a really helpful thing just like me with mr cinderella what are some ways that people express friendly behavior there are several ways you can express the friendly feelings towards others some of these ways are being polite smiling asking questions giving gifts and being friendly also means you are interested in person not only saying hi and being nice to a person is there a difference between being friendly and polite behavior i think so there is a clear distinction between courteous and friendly demeanor being polite simply means saying hi thank you and greeting people and being friendly is a little bit more than that you have to show that you are interested in person and pay attention and spend time with the person even if you don't really have much time how important is it to be friendly in your work or school i think it is important to be polite at work but not necessarily friendly i mean i do have friends that i hang out with at my work but i wouldn't go out of my way to make friends if i'm not interested some people pretend to be friendly when in fact they are not why do people do this um just like me with professor sidrov i had to be friendly because i wanted put myself in a more favorable position and i noticed that people are usually friendly with authorities and when they want to avoid some sort of trouble i'm surprised that level of friendliness people express when they talk to a policeman or their boss they seem to want to get away with the trouble is it a good idea to ask a person directly what you want i think nowadays it is a valuable thing to get to the point because everyone is rushed and to speak about myself i will appreciate if people get to the point directly and don't beat around the bush that is the end of part three that concludes the speaking portion of the exam you will have your mark available online in two days and you will have the mark for this section with the other sections in the mail with your certificate in about 10 days goodbye thank you so much goodbye bye bye for a band 9 the answers must be well developed with good detail throughout the entire interview without over speaking or going off topic in part three when the examiner asks alona why do some people pretend to be friendly with others when they're actually not she does a great job of connecting her idea and giving lots of detail she expresses that just like with mr sidorov people often pretend to be friendly with others because they have invested interests and then she explains that people do this when they want to get out of trouble like with the police with lots of practice and feedback you too can get these great results good luck the next time you sit your ielts exam i want to give you the ultimate help for a perfect band 9 score on your next ielts exam join our
