1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:10,200
‫Here is part one of our vocabulary lesson for ILD speaking today will be learning key vocabulary and

2
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:18,840
‫phrases that you can use in part one of the speaking test instead of going to the banned descriptors

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:26,340
‫to discuss why vocabulary is so important, we just need to know that we should show a wide range of

4
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:27,270
‫vocabulary.

5
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:31,200
‫In other words, we don't repeat ourselves too often.

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:39,570
‫The more advanced and how accurately you can use it, the higher your band score for lexical resource

7
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:40,350
‫will be.

8
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:49,560
‫Here is a quick review of what part one in the eye and speaking test looks like it will last between

9
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:56,540
‫four to five minutes and you will be given 12 questions about you, your life and your home.

10
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,160
‫The examiner will be asking you these questions.

11
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:06,510
‫Now, there are a number of topics that could come up in part one of the eyüp speaking test.

12
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,050
‫But generally, they are around you, your life and your home.

13
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,600
‫Here is a short table showing you some of the most common topics.

14
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:21,660
‫And definitely some of these, possibly all of them will come up in your speaking test.

15
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:30,570
‫It might be an idea to write these topics down and create some short speaking parts with brilliant vocabulary

16
00:01:30,750 --> 00:01:33,540
‫that you can practice talking and speaking with.

17
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:41,610
‫In this lesson, we'll be looking at key vocabulary and phrases for the first four topics of work,

18
00:01:41,850 --> 00:01:44,170
‫study, hometown and family.

19
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:51,990
‫That's because these four topics are extremely common in the speaking test, and I guarantee that all

20
00:01:51,990 --> 00:01:53,370
‫of them will come up.

21
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:59,800
‫And the day of your test, before we move on to this topic, specific vocabulary.

22
00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:02,870
‫I've got a quick exercise for you.

23
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,690
‫I'm going to show you some common Padawan questions and answers that you could also get.

24
00:02:10,290 --> 00:02:18,000
‫The first example answer I give you will be a poor example or something that would score a low band

25
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:26,370
‫score and then go to ask you to try and choose parts of the answer that you could change and improve.

26
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:28,670
‫Let's take a look at the question.

27
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:32,670
‫What kind of food do you most enjoy?

28
00:02:33,150 --> 00:02:37,170
‫And here is my not so brilliant example answer.

29
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,960
‫I like plain foods.

30
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,410
‫The most sandwiches are my favorite food.

31
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,700
‫They are nice.

32
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,920
‫Now, as I'm sure you can clearly see, this isn't an excellent answer.

33
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:56,220
‫The vocabulary is quite low and there also isn't much of an opener included.

34
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:03,900
‫So pause the video, especially look at the underlined vocabulary and think how would you improve this

35
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:04,520
‫answer?

36
00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:09,210
‫Do that now and then I'll show you my better example answer.

37
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:20,090
‫OK, let's take a look at the better improved example answer, that's a very good question.

38
00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:23,180
‫I usually prefer plain foods.

39
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:26,330
‫The most sandwiches are my favorite food.

40
00:03:26,570 --> 00:03:28,520
‫They are really delicious.

41
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:34,370
‫So I've added a conversation filler or conversation opener to begin.

42
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:39,470
‫And that's something that you should try and do quite often in the speaking test.

43
00:03:39,980 --> 00:03:47,780
‫And change of, like I've added, usually prefer and instead of nice, I've added really delicious.

44
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:54,530
‫Nice is a pretty boring word and I don't suggest you use it if you can possibly avoid it.

45
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,150
‫Let's take a look at another example of one of these exercises.

46
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:06,990
‫Are you currently studying or working and he is my low level example answer.

47
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,800
‫Now I'm studying maths at university.

48
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:14,010
‫It's very hard, but interesting.

49
00:04:14,940 --> 00:04:19,920
‫Take a look at the underlined vocabulary and think how you could up Lavallette.

50
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,090
‫OK, let's see an improved answer.

51
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,320
‫At the moment, I'm studying maths at my local university.

52
00:04:32,980 --> 00:04:40,810
‫It's very challenging, but fascinating at the same time in place of now I've used at the moment and

53
00:04:40,810 --> 00:04:41,980
‫this is my opener.

54
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:50,110
‫I've actually changed slightly university to local university, and it's important to give extra details

55
00:04:50,110 --> 00:04:52,830
‫in your speaking instead of hard.

56
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:59,860
‫I've used the better piece of vocabulary challenging and instead of interesting, I've gone with fascinating

57
00:04:59,860 --> 00:05:01,110
‫at the same time.

58
00:05:01,750 --> 00:05:09,430
‫So there are two examples of how vocabulary is really important in the speaking test, and it's also

59
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:16,420
‫very important to really explain and develop your speaking, just like I've shown you here.

60
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:24,820
‫Next up, I've actually included some vocabulary for the very first section of your speaking test,

61
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:30,210
‫and that is as soon as you open the door, it is your introduction.

62
00:05:30,220 --> 00:05:33,550
‫And here are some questions and example answers.

63
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:40,120
‫And please do note down this language because it's something that you can almost copy and paste and

64
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,250
‫repeat in your Eilts test.

65
00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:50,730
‫So the first question you will most likely get is, hello, could you show me your ID card play?

66
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,790
‫At this point?

67
00:05:51,790 --> 00:05:53,320
‫You can say yes.

68
00:05:53,590 --> 00:05:54,390
‫Here you go.

69
00:05:55,060 --> 00:05:59,680
‫Next up, the examiner may say, could you tell me your full name, please?

70
00:06:00,340 --> 00:06:04,260
‫Now, it's important not to just say your full name for me.

71
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:08,680
‫I wouldn't say David Gareth Morris and just leave it at that.

72
00:06:09,130 --> 00:06:16,600
‫As with the other sections of the isle speaking test, you need to extend and develop your answers.

73
00:06:16,870 --> 00:06:20,970
‫So here is an answer that you can very much replicate for this question.

74
00:06:21,610 --> 00:06:28,090
‫Of course, my full name is David Gareth Morris, although my friends call me David.

75
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:34,630
‫Here is another question that you could quite possibly get in that very first introduction phase of

76
00:06:34,630 --> 00:06:35,230
‫the test.

77
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:37,500
‫How old are you, David?

78
00:06:38,380 --> 00:06:46,080
‫I was born in 1987, on July the 17th, that makes me 30 years old right now.

79
00:06:46,810 --> 00:06:52,450
‫So these three answers I've given you show you some top vocabulary that you can use.

80
00:06:52,660 --> 00:06:59,440
‫And all you need to do for the last two answers is to provide your personal information, to make the

81
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:00,550
‫answers your own.

82
00:07:01,330 --> 00:07:05,620
‫Now it's time to move on to our topic specific vocabulary.

83
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:08,080
‫And the first topic is work.

84
00:07:08,570 --> 00:07:15,670
‫The first piece of vocabulary that we will look at is occupation, which is a synonym of another word

85
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:16,300
‫for job.

86
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,720
‫Let's take a look at the example sentence.

87
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:25,650
‫My current occupation is customer service at my local restaurant.

88
00:07:26,170 --> 00:07:29,380
‫I'm doing this to make some money whilst I study.

89
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,280
‫A dead end job.

90
00:07:34,570 --> 00:07:39,530
‫This is a job that you won't do forever and has no possible benefits.

91
00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:44,770
‫I must admit I'm in a real dead end job right now.

92
00:07:45,310 --> 00:07:48,040
‫I'll be looking for something better this year.

93
00:07:49,780 --> 00:07:59,560
‫And next up is vocation, vacation means a job that you are very passionate about, being a nurse is

94
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:00,820
‫my vocation.

95
00:08:01,210 --> 00:08:05,800
‫Since I was young, I've always wanted to help people feel better.

96
00:08:06,850 --> 00:08:11,740
‫And the last piece of vocabulary for work that you can use is profession.

97
00:08:12,130 --> 00:08:14,620
‫And again, it's another synonym for job.

98
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:18,800
‫A teacher is a respectable profession.

99
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:23,140
‫My father was a teacher and his father was a teacher to.

100
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:31,820
‫Let's move on to our next topic, which is today, and the first piece of vocabulary is graduate, which

101
00:08:31,820 --> 00:08:35,600
‫means to finish a certain section of your education.

102
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:38,420
‫Here is the example sentence.

103
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:46,010
‫In 2015, I graduated from the famous university in my city.

104
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:49,220
‫I was studying to be an engineer.

105
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:59,550
‫And next up is challenging, which means difficult, my final project at college was very challenging,

106
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:01,910
‫but I learned a lot from it.

107
00:09:04,390 --> 00:09:12,400
‫Assignment means a piece of work given to you from your college or university last year, I had to complete

108
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,410
‫so many assignments I almost didn't have time to sleep.

109
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:26,420
‫And the final piece of vocabulary is intensive, and it means something that is very challenging, difficult,

110
00:09:26,420 --> 00:09:32,640
‫and there is a lot to do, that ELT's course in town is very intensive.

111
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,770
‫I have to attend 10 hours per week for two months.

112
00:09:38,090 --> 00:09:41,310
‫Let's move on to our next topic, which is hometown.

113
00:09:42,170 --> 00:09:48,230
‫The first piece of vocabulary is bustling, which means somewhere with quite a lot of people and a lot

114
00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:49,820
‫of activities going on.

115
00:09:51,070 --> 00:09:54,050
‫London is a completely bustling city.

116
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,650
‫I loved visiting there over the last three years.

117
00:09:58,150 --> 00:10:00,580
‫Hopefully I can live there soon to.

118
00:10:02,250 --> 00:10:07,980
‫And next up is isolated, which means something very far away from anything else.

119
00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:15,620
‫My hometown is pretty isolated, the closest city is an hour away by car.

120
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:24,670
‫Now we have suburbs, which is a part of a city or town that is not in the city center, but not a long

121
00:10:24,670 --> 00:10:31,840
‫way away, it might be a place that is popular for people to live and move into the city center for

122
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,320
‫work.

123
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:41,220
‫I enjoy living in the suburbs, it's still quite peaceful, but only a short train journey into the

124
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:42,120
‫city centre.

125
00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:46,030
‫And lastly, is neighborhood.

126
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:49,690
‫My neighborhood is very friendly.

127
00:10:50,130 --> 00:10:57,480
‫We all know each other and spend a lot of time together in our homes and now for the last four pieces

128
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:05,280
‫of vocabulary for our final topic, which is family, and will begin with close knit, which means a

129
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,650
‫family that is very close and speaks or is with each other a lot of the time.

130
00:11:11,850 --> 00:11:14,570
‫My family is very close indeed.

131
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,710
‫I definitely say we are quite close knit as we see each other.

132
00:11:19,710 --> 00:11:27,300
‫Every day is often used for families when you're describing them and you have a great relationship with

133
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:28,140
‫your siblings.

134
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:33,170
‫And that brings me nicely onto the next piece of vocabulary, which is siblings.

135
00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:38,310
‫This is another word which you can use to describe your brothers or sisters.

136
00:11:39,540 --> 00:11:41,160
‫I have two siblings.

137
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:45,200
‫They are both younger than me, but we get along very well.

138
00:11:46,420 --> 00:11:51,520
‫And supportive means a family that will help you no matter what your decision.

139
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:59,420
‫My parents are so supportive of me, which I have always been very grateful for.

140
00:12:00,170 --> 00:12:08,780
‫And now our final piece of vocabulary for family, which is squabble, and this is quite simply a synonym

141
00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:09,850
‫for argument.

142
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,860
‫I sometimes squabble with my older sister.

143
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:15,800
‫It's never a bad argument.

144
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,480
‫And we say, sorry after.

145
00:12:18,450 --> 00:12:26,550
‫There are quite a few pieces of vocabulary that you can use for very common topics in part one of the

146
00:12:26,550 --> 00:12:34,770
‫test, I also highly suggest that at any point during this course, if you see some vocabulary that

147
00:12:34,770 --> 00:12:43,140
‫I use and write down in the examples that you practice using it, that brings us to the end of vocabulary

148
00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:45,120
‫for adults speaking part one.

149
00:12:46,090 --> 00:12:54,010
‫Next step will move onto some more useful vocabulary that you can use in your Eilts speaking test.
