already said earlier if you could try a new sport what would it be if I have the chance to try a new sport I would really like to try tennis I was in a tennis camp last summer and I love to play more that is the end of part one we will now continue with part two one of the most commonly acknowledged but easily forgotten aspects of childhood speaking for effective communication and great fluency is intrinsic curiosity for causality simply put always asking and answering the why question many people of course have children nieces nephews and siblings and even become frustrated with the constant bothering question of the why why why why nevertheless in the I exam this is a great benefit notice how Sabella constantly pays attention to this aspect of her speech intrinsically she immediately explains to The Examiner that she collects crystals because they are so beautiful or that she loves running because she likes winning races pay attention to her questions throughout the interview and you will notice that without fail she's always giving clear explanations to her answers be sure to copy and practice this while you're preparing for your exam so that you too can improve your fluency lexical resource grammatical range and get those higher scores now on to part two and more strategies that is the end of part one we will now continue with part two for part two I will show you some questions you will have one minute to read these think about your answers you can take notes in the one minute time if you wish you have your note paper and pencil there and then you will have one to two minutes to speak is that clear yes [Music] talk about a project that you have completed at school or at work your one minute preparation time begins now okay your one minute preparation time is up please begin speaking two years ago in kindergarten I completed a really fun salmon release project our teacher ordered some salmon eggs and and we put them into a tank filled with water in our school this product lasted from the start of the Year September all the way until the beginning of November when we released the the baby Salon call Fry into their natural habitats at the end of the spawning season the tank with all the eggs was in our hallways so we had to be quiet and careful so we would not disturb them there were a couple of class involved in this project as well we learned all about the life of Pacific salon and how important they are for people salmon helped the forest to grow and feed millions of animals like bears and birds and of course humans too it was amazing to see the baby salmon hatch from the eggs into teeny little fish called Alvin then we gave them some fish food and they grew up bit they were still really tiny but they became really strong swimm once they got big enough we took them to the river our classmates hopped on the school bus and we took took a field trip to a Provincial Park where the fish have a a chance to go and swim back to the ocean to to become big adult salmon each of us got to release the baby salmon into the Stream we made them a special wish as they swam to freedom I had so much fun on this trip and I'm so happy I got to share this with my teacher and peers that is the end of part two I will stop you there please put the not paper to the side turn it over and the pencil as well thank you and now we will continue with part three in sabella's part two response we can clearly notice children's affinity for visual language and emotional or limic language what I mean by this is that as Sabella explains her story about the salmon release project we can sense that she is seeing what she is saying she can see the tanks of water in her hallways she can observe her classmates getting on the school bus and releasing the salmon into the stream it is this type of visual language that enables her to structure language with good detail and this type of speech especially heightens during that age 67 when school begins nevertheless later in life we tend to forget this visual prowess while speaking and in the exam you need to see what you say in addition she speaks with affect especially when the content is important for her notice how her voice clearly Chang changes when expressing that salmon help to feed birds and plants and humans too bears and birds and of course humans too and it's this type of reconnection with intonation and strong emphasis of words that helps to improve communication when you're giving your answers in the AL exam visualize what you say just like a child and be emotional be interested

it important for people to have projects that they want to do yes I think that it is really important for people to do lots of activities I always have a building project or a art project on go I'm working on a Lego project to build a castle with my sister with this first part three question we see children's innate ability to reiterate reflect and articulate answers for greater coherency and fluency when the examiner asks is it important for people to have projects that they want to do she clearly articulates and reflects the question in her answer saying yes I think it is important for people to have activities and in this way she puts herself on track for an accurate answer and good reasoning it is this type of communication that you need to mimic in your upcoming I exam in this
