IELTS Speaking Band 9 Fluent Answers India with Subtitles

[Music] let's watch akshan from bengaluru india score a perfect band 9 on the speaking section with examiner kavita i will explain his fluency and accuracy throughout this interview let's begin welcome to the speaking section of the alts exam my name is kavita and i'll be your examiner for this part of the test i'm recording this for clerical purposes the test has three parts i will give you instructions for each we are conducting this exam in bengaluru and the time is 11 o'clock this is candidate number 342-1678 and examiner number 3128 may i see your identification please yes certainly here's my passport that i used to register for ielts please have a look thank you you're welcome what is your full name uh my given name is action and my family name is singh please call me by my given name auction okay action for part one i'm going to ask you a couple of questions to get to know you better sure and some questions on a general topic why are you taking this exam the ielts exam is important for me as i'm planning to pursue my phd in quantum computing in the united states and simply put it is an integral part of my academic cv where do you live well i live in the capital of karnataka bengaluru in a three-bedroom detached house with my parents and siblings let's talk about cars and buses how often do you use a car how about a bus i use my car quite often at least once or twice a day to either get to work or school i just used my car an hour ago to get to this exam here since i have a car i don't quite use the bus where is the last place you went to in your car as i just said i used my car an hour ago to get here to this exam i've parked it a couple of blocks away from here when is it a good idea to take the bus instead of a car well i would say it's a good idea to take the bus instead of a car if a person's been drinking or is unable to drive it is dangerous to drive if a person is impaired or you know not fit to drive due to an injury when i sprained my ankle last year i took the bus for a whole week when is a car better to use than a bus i would say using a car for long trips especially is better because it's super convenient and comfortable you get to stop whenever you want to and you can play your own music has best transportation in your city changed in the last 10 years oh yes the transit system has drastically changed in the past decade there are newer routes and modern buses compared to back in 2010 i would say that it's a good step going forward because have lower emission if you could buy any kind of car what would you buy and why well if i could buy a car i would definitely buy a ferrari enzo if money wasn't the problem i believe it's one of the super exotic cars ever built i would like to have one maybe someday that is the end of part one we will now continue with part two notice that kavita the examiner is very serious and structured throughout the interview unlike your typical fun english class the ielts examiner is not there to impress you on the contrary like akshan you are there to impress the examiner and to do this it's important to speak in full sentences and use hand gestures like when akshon says that his car is parked outside just a couple of blocks away akshan is energetic from start to finish he enunciates his words making sure that they sound clear he does not rush his answers and he uses the questions to give full fluent and clear responses when kavita asks akshan how often do you use your car or public transit he uses the question and he says i use my car quite frequently it's this kind of use of question with energetic and clear language that gets the high scores just like akshan make sure to include the grammar of the question in your response when kavita asks if you could own any vehicle what would it be akshan cleverly responds with the condition if i could i would own a ferrari enzo again this leads to more fluency accuracy and coherence now let's continue for this part i'm going to show you some questions please do not touch the questions sheet you'll have one minute to read these questions and think about your answers you may take notes during the one minute preparation time then you will have one to two minutes to speak i will tell you when to start and when to stop talk about a person you like to spend time with your one minute preparation time begins now do you want to know your speaking band score send us an mp3 recording of speaking section part 2 to this email address and we will give you a free band score estimate also make sure to use the student partner speaking in your my student account on our websites now let's continue your one minute preparation time is up please begin speaking okay i have been spending a considerable amount of time last year with my master's thesis professor dr patel as i've been researching various applications uh in the field of quantum computing dr patel is a distinguished professor in the field of computer science he has over 30 years of experience in this field he's of an average height has a fat belly and a very kind smile he's a pleasure to work with i met him during my bachelors of computer application studies at my university and i had a couple of classes with him i believe it was my third year classes in quantum computing and that's when i fell in love with this subject after my bachelor's i did apply for my master's under dr patel's supervision and to my fortune he took me in as one of his graduate students dr patel is an astute man he's very good at asking challenges and comes up with real quick solutions whenever i'm stuck with my algorithms for my master's thesis he's my go-to person and he helps me get unstuck he's a hard-working individual and puts thousands of hours at computer labs and teaching as well as spends time with his family and friends i have a lot of respect for him i like working with him because we share the same interest in quantum computing both of us believe that quantum computing is the future of artificial intelligence therefore we sit together once a while for a cup of tea and discuss about the most recent research or technology or where human beings are going forward with this technology i hope one day i could earn the same level of respect of what dr patel has in the scientific community that is the end of part two please put your note paper to the side turn it over and your pencil as well fluency and accuracy are extremely important in part two the cue card because basically you're building a story one to two minutes long and from start to finish it must make sense making sure that you answer all the questions on the card there are a few great strategies and tricks that akshan implores to achieve this goal firstly he starts by answering the topic of the cue card directly the cue card asks for the candidate to talk about a person they have spent a lot of time with so action right away states i have been spending a considerable amount of time with my master's supervisor dr patel it's a clear and direct answer using the present perfect progressive the next strategy that akshan implores is having great structure as he knows that when talking about a person it's a good idea to say a little bit about their appearance so the listener can visualize dr patel as having a bit of a fat belly and then talking about that person's characteristics personality and backing it up with actions like stating that dr patel is a hard worker who spends dozens of hours in the computer lab this kind of structure and storytelling from start to finish is what will not only maintain but build that band 9 result notice again that action does not rush his speech his sentences instead he focuses on enunciating important words and connecting his thoughts like saying therefore we sit for a cup of tea to discuss about our research finally when he's finished answering all of the questions making sure to look at his notes and cue card which help his fluency and accuracy then at the end he gives a sentence which concludes his thoughts and tells the examiner that he is finished and she can stop him so he says one day i hope to earn as much respect in the scientific community as dr patel this is a clear indication that his story has ended and he's ready for part three and now we'll continue with part three for this part i'll ask you questions related to part two let's talk about spending time with others why is it important to spend time with people we care about i believe the greatest joy in life comes when we spend quality time with the people we share upon with it could be sharing a laughter with friends or family or a master thesis with your professor that's what makes life worth living it gives people motivation and confidence to step up in life and be successful what are positive ways to spend time together i would say beneficial interactions are the one that stimulates both mind and the body this could be working on a project together or playing a sport like cricket it helps people stay healthy and happy i make sure that i get quality time with my friends and family at least a few times a week what are the negative ways harmful interactions could be indulging into illegal activities or dangerous activities like drinking and driving or buglery it could lead to injury loss of life or loss of freedom how has spending time together with people changed over the past few decades well it has changed a fair bit people used to have quality conversations with each other before the introduction of technology with smartphones and internet now people do have quick interactions but with very low quality people tend to send instant messages to each other but back in those days people used to have real long conversations face to face how do you think it will change in the future um i'll have to think about a bit uh well i think people would resort to more of intimate relationships and interactions in the future this could be perhaps aided by a new technology like virtual reality what happens if people do not spend quality time with the people they care about well if people do lack social interactions and interpersonal touch and bond uh they may feel demotivated or depressed this is because people are social in nature so they need that sort of connection how can this be avoided people can definitely avoid social isolation if they plan well first be confident secondly make plans to meet friends and family i make a point that i call my family and friends for a get together during the weekends that is the end of part three and that concludes the speaking section of the alts exam you will have your mark available online in two days and you should have your official certificate in the mail in about 10 days with the other section marks as well goodbye thank you goodbye in the final part part three aksha knows that he must stay calm focused and confident in order to maintain his high band score and he does just that by applying the strategies that he used in part one using the questions in his answer making sure to reflect the grammar of questions paraphrasing the words in the questions and giving clear explanations and examples to back up his opinions we can see this right away with akshan's first response where he beautifully paraphrases the question in his answer stating that the greatest joy in life comes from spending quality time with the people we share a bond with and then he relates to part two stating that this is the reason he likes spending time with his master's supervisor dr patel again notice that akshan does not rush instead he pays attention to his intonation and annunciation of words making sure to have absolute clarity when asked about how social interactions have changed he responds by saying they have changed a fair bit it's a short sentence but it does show present perfect and natural language right away in your speaking interview make sure to impress the examiner by enunciating your words by being confident and fluent use hand gestures these will help you to be expressive even in the
