Hi, friends, and welcome to this speaking practice
lesson for the Duolingo English test. In this lesson, you're going to have the chance to repeat after me
using the imitation technique, we're going to answer a read and speak question where you have to read a prompt
and respond for 90 seconds on the test, it looks like this. Unlike I said, we're going to do the imitation
technique. So I'm going to speak out a full answer to a question. And your job then is to listen and repeat
after me this will be helpful because you get the chance to speak out a full answer. Okay, I will share
with you my answer in just one moment. But if you're new to this channel, Hi, I'm teacher, Luke from Detr
ady.com. Visit our website because we have useful i formation about the test. We have some online c
urses, and a very helpful practice platform where you c n practice all of different question types on the D
olingo English test, including the speaking ones, l ke the one we're gonna do today, you can find links t
all of this below in the description. Okay, then b ck to this lesson. So like I said, we're going to do t
e imitation technique where you have to listen and r peat after me, we're going to answer a question r
lated to health, which is a common topic on the D olingo English test, and all of the other English t
sts as well. And the question we're going to answer i this describes something healthy that you enjoy d
ing, what is it? And why do you enjoy it? Alright, so t at's our question. Now I'm going to speak out a full a
swer. And your job is to listen and repeat after me, I m going to speak in natural chunks of language and p
use after each chunk. Your job is simple, you have to l sten and repeat. But try to use the same speed, the s
me intonation, the same stress, and also the p onunciation of difficult words. I strongly recommend t
at you do actually speak out loud because it will be u eful practice for you. And after we've done that, I'm g
ing to give you another question for you to practice s eaking out loud with. Okay, then well, let's get to i
. Remember, your job is to listen and repeat after m . For the last five years, I've been very conscious a
out my health. Obviously, both exercise and good n trition are hugely important to maintain good health. But for me, I in sports is probably my favorite way to stay
healthy. As I really enjoy competition, and being outdoors with my friends. My favorite sport is football. And even though I do
enjoy other sports, like tennis, and swimming my favorite sport has always been football. I've played
football since I was at school. In fact, almost every day. I've made so many friends playing football. And
there's no better feeling than scoring a goal. Football is a great form of aerobic exercise and helps you
practice sprinting and also long distance running. Because you run a lot during the game. All in all,
playing football has been my main form of exercise and it's probably the most healthy activity I do. Okay,
now I'm going to speak out this answer again at a more natural speed without pauses and I want you again to
listen and try to repeat after me but before we do this, if you think this type of video is helpful,
right, yes below in the comments and I will make more based on the different topics on the Duolingo English
test. Okay, well, let's get to it. For the last five years, I've been very conscious about my health. Obviously, both exercise and good nutrition are hugely
