personal questions first i'd like to talk about your hometown where is your hometown actually i was born in iran and i used to live here for about like 27 years so iran is my hometown and tehran is my city where i was born and this is the city that my parents live my family live and i live too but maybe about 10 years ago there was a chance for me to get out of iran okay and do you live in a house now or a flat no it's not very small and not very big flat that i voted maybe a year ago okay and what would you change about your home actually uh it was a long time that i was this i have decided to change the design of my house my home so i did it maybe about one month ago i changed the design totally i changed the curtain the furniture and the color of the walls and the kitchen as well so it was my decision to do it and i did it nice okay now let's move on to talk about hobbies do you have a hobby of course anyone i think anyone has a hobby because if we don't have a hobby we get bored so we cannot enjoy the life we cannot enjoy the time and definitely we will waste the time and we get bored so i have a hobby like others and most important hobby that i have is going out and catching up with friends having dinner outside going to see my friends and spending time with them okay and do you think hobbies should be shared with other people um in my opinion i think no because i'm a close person so i don't have many friends so i prefer to have just one close friend or two and share my hobby only with them so this is my character i don't say anyone has to be like me this is me and how i am great and did you have a hobby as a child yes uh when i was a child i was about like seven years old i really wanted to sing i was crazy about singing and started the learning from my father because my father also used to sing so i got the tricks about singing from my father and i continued when i was like 18 years old i started working with the with the group that they were singing in iran they call the aryan so i used to be their local team in their locality right now let's talk about the internet how often do you go online good question because i think i am online every single minute because my work is online and i answer to my client a customer through the whatsapp or other social applications so i am a person who is most of the time online and i have a page a business page so um after getting along with clients i take pictures and i post pictures on my business page so that's why i can attract more clients for improving my work wonderful okay so that's the end of this part let's move on to the next part of the question so now i'm going to give you a topic and i'd like you to talk about it for up to two minutes before you talk you'll have one minute to think about what you're going to say and you can make notes if you wish do you understand yes sure definitely brilliant so your topic is this describe a time that you invited family or friends to have dinner at home or in a restaurant so this is your cue card i'm lucky okay so i'll give you uh one minute to make those notes yes okay you may start speaking go ahead okay um i remember it was two years ago the night of my birthday so it was the beginning of covet 19 virus that which was started so i was in doubt to what to do for my birthday so i decided to invite my parents for a dinner outside it was risky but i thought okay no problem nothing will happen so i took them my parents my father and mother outside to a beautiful restaurant which is located in balmland area bomblin is a beautiful place at the west of tehran that you can find many restaurants different kind of food and the shopping malls so actually uh bomb land is my favorite place and i mostly go there and visit restaurants and shopping stores so i gave the offer if they are okay to come with me for having dinner so they are accepted and we went to bom land we went to a beautiful restaurant which serves arabic food we had the homos in bubble baja restaurant and the area was beautiful the design was amazing so we spent about like uh one or two hours there and we started talking about the future how beautiful the life is we can how easy we can enjoy the life with just eating a small food portion of food and enjoying the beautiful weather and being together this is the god mercy that we are together and thank you let's get into the two minutes all right let's move on right okay so i'll take back the uh yes sure thanks very much that's wonderful okay okay so we've been talking about a time when you had dinner with family or friends and now i'd like to ask you some questions related to this so do people in your country prefer to eat at home or in a restaurant um what i should say is um before maybe about like um 20 years ago um it was in my culture i mean people used to eat outs not out outside but at home they used to cook the mothers they were the only ones who cook and others used to eat just the food not to do anything but nowadays maybe last 10 days 10 years it's more common for people to eat outside and use restaurants to not to get starving so nowadays it's common to eat outside for people it's you know in our culture now okay and what would you say are the benefits and drawbacks of eating in our restaurants the thing is if you eat inside the home most of the time maybe you get bored not to enjoy the food the way it should be but uh if you go out not every day i mean if you go outside sometimes and try different kind of food like chinese food mexican food which is my favorite of course and the italian food so you can do people watching you can see a different kind of people you can meet different people and of course taste different kind of food and taste and enjoy the food more right more than eating at home absolutely so what do people usually cook for special festivals we don't have many special festivals like thanksgiving and this kind of stuff in iran we have like a month called ramadan here they don't eat from morning to evening and evening they have a small one very um [Music] very thin kind of food not to get very not to get problem for the stomach so most of the time they eat ash which is some kind of food there is noodles inside um and the yogurt some kind of yogurt inside the ash which is very good for this for the stomach after fasting right so and the very famous most famous food in iran is gourmet that everyone likes it even um i have some um friends which are not iranian they are crazy about it i cooked maybe two or three times for them and they asked for more wonderful cool and uh next what more and more people so they're having people are having or getting their meals delivered so would people cook at home these days now in iran yes these days uh before they used to cook like traditional food which are very common in iran and everyone can eat it but nowadays as far as i know even me i prefer to cook some kind of food which are cooking them is easier than maybe preparing everything for traditional food because it takes so long time to take to make a traditional food i mostly could give fast foods and foods that are very easy to cook i think everyone is the same absolutely and what do you think do you think cooking will become less common in the future yes this is what i think because and the reason is nowadays people work outside before just men used to work outside but nowadays as far as you can see girls and women they are working outside so they don't have time after the work they have to come back home and take care of kids and i don't know make up the home and this kind of stuff so they don't have time and in the future it will be more common because they will have many things to do and there will be no time for cooking absolutely thanks very much that's the end of the speaking test thanks guys do you want to know what band score you'll get in the ielts speaking test perhaps you want

you can stay when i'm going to give you some feedback so okay just uh bear with me here i'm just going to add up your score so we'll just see how you did it was a bit stressful it was a bit stressful i was a bit stressful the test was just okay and amazing yeah i told you there's no need for stress it's it's all good it's just for the first time i'm doing it that's why it's the first time you've you're doing it oh that's interesting okay so um we'll get to that in a minute i'll just sure take your time please okay here we go so well i've got some uh interesting news for you here uh you right now we're looking at an eight wow how do you feel about that it's okay because uh as i told you it's for the first time i'm doing it i never did a speaking test and i was because of being so much stressful i was expecting something less you're expecting something less for yeah i mean i was on it was on the verge i mean it's a little bit of a shaky eight but it is an eight and eight is an eight and you can you can even increase that by one band score definitely i'll do it you can do that we'll just let's look over the uh feedback here on the on your four criteria that you have been assessed on so we've got the fluency and coherence the lexical resources your vocabulary the grammatical range and accuracy and pronunciation let's start with the fluency and coherence so um you know the way you were speaking is to me it sounded very natural i mean you were and you were giving reasons for your answers elaborating on them making the every part of your speech in part one two and three sound interesting which is a very good point it's a very good technique to uh have your stories and ideas sound interesting for the examiner uh even though it's you know it's sort of indirectly an extra point uh foreign that's a good thing yeah and so being something interesting like that um you had a few fillers but the fillers were not language related they were content related that was you searching for an idea which which is not a problem ever that happens to everyone including native speakers and you used boosters you know when you were when because starting one of your answers i think it was in in part three uh you see basically you were comparing two things together before you even answered it so that was a good thing you use that as a booster and then developed your idea so i'm happy to hear that these are good things absolutely these are wonderful uh wonderful techniques that you're using and if we're looking at your vocabulary so spot on uh it was it was very much varied in my opinion um maybe you could use even more complex uh words at some point but you were using all the necessary words and they were quite varied and very much related to the topics so this is this is very good um strong vocabulary and being related like that sometimes you you are paraphrasing and you know using more of your vocabulary and you can even use more if you'd like to if you want to go for the eight eventually um grammatical range and accuracy so you know your tenses were complete past present future it was wonderful you were accurate you know most of the time and you know we're using some nice uh say expressions uh idioms like saying i'm crazy about singing uh using that that kind of expression that's good that shows that you can you know how natural you are and how accurate you are to express those opinions like that with the grammar um at one point you said uh get starving uh so it's like to get hungry so we don't really say get starving maybe that would have this was taking you away from the nine bad score just a couple of things so i shouldn't uh tell that i'm starving no it's okay it's just uh to get the grammar in the correct okay okay that's fine yeah if i was really starving or yeah you know something like that to really make sure it's it's correct and so long time such a long time would have sounded a little bit better so it was just a couple of those um but you know you were covering all of that with with the command of english that you have which was very which was very good as you know as far as i'm concerned and stuff like that you using these these sort of idioms and starting your sentences it shows to the examiner what the the wide range of uh language structure you have pronunciation i didn't have any uh problem with your pronunciation i thought you were clear enough uh i understood everything you said so yeah it was just maybe maybe one or two errors in the grammatical range and accuracy then it would have been even higher so congratulations i mean you've done a great job thank you very much i've learned a lot from you in this matter so it was really kind from you about the explanation and uh really nice meeting you here same here and uh do you have any other questions for me no that's fine that's everything good yes great so we'll just go quickly just one more fluency and coherence everything that's i think that's your strongest part definitely is so conversational and speaking so naturally vocabulary is just one more thing maybe expand on it a tiny little bit and just watch it with the to practice more it's just practice makes perfect but all together you know this is a very good bad score we're looking at here thank you very much very kind from you pleasure i hope you have a great day thank you
