1
00:00:01,270 --> 00:00:03,290
‫Welcome back, everybody.

2
00:00:03,310 --> 00:00:12,070
‫In this lesson, we're going to concentrate on common questions and answers for part one of the ELDs

3
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:13,630
‫speaking test.

4
00:00:13,990 --> 00:00:20,680
‫By the end of the lesson, you'll learn and understand some common question and topic types for part

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,230
‫one of the Aled speaking test.

6
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:32,230
‫And you're also going to see me constructing and creating model answers whilst talking about the language

7
00:00:32,230 --> 00:00:37,220
‫choice I am using to help me get those higher scores.

8
00:00:37,930 --> 00:00:43,000
‫So let's have a quick overview of what exactly part one is.

9
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:53,050
‫We can consider part one of the aout speaking test to be our greetings and introductory questions from

10
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:54,610
‫the ALS Examiner.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,630
‫The questions will be slightly shorter.

12
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,060
‫Your test begins as soon as you open the door.

13
00:01:04,510 --> 00:01:10,610
‫I really like to remind students of this because you want to make a good impression.

14
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,810
‫I know you're going to be nervous, but when you open the door, try and smile and look friendly and

15
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:24,300
‫confident in total, you will answer 12 questions from familiar.

16
00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:27,970
‫Pretty easy to think about topics.

17
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:31,840
‫And it's going to be between four to five minutes.

18
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,200
‫Now you can see I've highlighted in red.

19
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,920
‫Don't give short answers.

20
00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:48,970
‫You need to extend your language and use interesting vocabulary and storytelling to really explain in

21
00:01:48,970 --> 00:01:49,740
‫detail.

22
00:01:49,930 --> 00:01:57,580
‫Now, you shouldn't try and answer questions in part one using an answer of, say, 30 seconds, but

23
00:01:57,580 --> 00:02:02,410
‫you don't want to give really short three or four word answers.

24
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,220
‫That will definitely mean you you're losing marks.

25
00:02:08,180 --> 00:02:17,360
‫So here are four of the most common topics in part one of the old speaking test, we have studies,

26
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:27,500
‫home, work and family, and I guarantee at some point during the ill speaking test, you will have

27
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:30,260
‫to speak about all four of these topics.

28
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:38,240
‫But in part one, there's a very, very high chance that you will be asked questions about these topics,

29
00:02:38,420 --> 00:02:38,930
‫too.

30
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:47,000
‫So in this lesson, I'm going to go through some common questions for these four topics, plus some

31
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,820
‫extra topics as well.

32
00:02:49,010 --> 00:02:57,500
‫And I'm going to be creating some answers for you to see how I'm up leveling and upgrading my language.

33
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:07,670
‫OK, let's move on to our next stage, which is looking at common questions and answers for the topic

34
00:03:07,670 --> 00:03:08,630
‫of studies.

35
00:03:11,820 --> 00:03:19,930
‫OK, let's take a look at our first question for the topic of studies, are you currently studying?

36
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,550
‫So how would I go about answering this?

37
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:30,870
‫I might say, yes, I am currently studying now.

38
00:03:31,260 --> 00:03:34,410
‫That's actually a pretty awful answer.

39
00:03:34,420 --> 00:03:41,550
‫And I can tell you why you don't want to copy exactly what the examiner is saying.

40
00:03:41,730 --> 00:03:51,510
‫You need to paraphrase and change their language using synonyms so you could say yes right now instead

41
00:03:51,510 --> 00:03:52,290
‫of currently.

42
00:03:52,710 --> 00:03:59,690
‫I am learning computer sciences, computer sciences.

43
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:03,600
‫OK, but that's a little bit too short.

44
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,310
‫I think.

45
00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:08,120
‫So I want to add some more storytelling and detail.

46
00:04:08,370 --> 00:04:09,060
‫Right now.

47
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:20,220
‫I'm learning computer sciences, which I very much enjoy instead of like we can use that synonym enjoy

48
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:22,590
‫to make the language just a bit more interesting.

49
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:30,270
‫So once again, instead of currently we've used right now and instead of studying, we use the learning

50
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:36,300
‫and sort of used enjoy instead of like to make our language a bit more interesting.

51
00:04:36,750 --> 00:04:40,980
‫We also added this part here, which I very much enjoy.

52
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:43,830
‫Just to add some extra detail.

53
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400
‫OK, let's move on to our second question.

54
00:04:47,670 --> 00:04:50,640
‫What would you like to study in the future?

55
00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:56,360
‫OK, so in this question, the examiner is asking us about something in the future.

56
00:04:56,370 --> 00:05:03,560
‫Therefore, we should use the future tense, let's say, instead of in the future.

57
00:05:03,570 --> 00:05:11,680
‫How could I make this more interesting when I complete my studies in the future?

58
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:26,010
‫In other words, I hope to study my masters in, let's say, civil engineering engineer.

59
00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:30,180
‫Apologies for my spelling whilst I'm talking.

60
00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:34,120
‫There may be some mistakes, but I'll check and change as we go through.

61
00:05:34,540 --> 00:05:39,580
‫OK, what subjects do you find the most difficult?

62
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,750
‫OK, let's move on to that.

63
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,760
‫I say subjects that you have found difficult.

64
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,030
‫I want to add an interesting opener for this answer.

65
00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:59,010
‫I feel like it's time to use one so I could say, to be honest, I struggled.

66
00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:00,390
‫I found it difficult.

67
00:06:00,390 --> 00:06:03,480
‫So we're using these synonyms again, struggle difficult.

68
00:06:03,810 --> 00:06:10,530
‫I struggle to learn languages when I was younger, hopefully.

69
00:06:10,950 --> 00:06:13,110
‫So we're adding some detail now.

70
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:20,850
‫I have improved my language learning skills.

71
00:06:20,850 --> 00:06:27,300
‫OK, so that's a little bit of light hearted detail, as you know, in a child's test.

72
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:31,650
‫Hopefully now I have improved my language learning skills.

73
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,890
‫OK, so let's move on to question four, which is what are you currently studying?

74
00:06:38,550 --> 00:06:41,640
‫OK, so again, we don't want to repeat the language.

75
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,110
‫I'm currently studying math, so let's try and make this more interesting.

76
00:06:46,110 --> 00:07:02,040
‫So if we are going to say we weren't studying right now, I am not studying as I am working part time.

77
00:07:03,930 --> 00:07:14,220
‫Previously I was studying for, let's say, my degree, OK?

78
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:15,840
‫Excellent.

79
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:23,080
‫So just added a bit more detail, a bit more storytelling, is it a popular subject in your country

80
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:23,320
‫now?

81
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,690
‫This is a follow up question.

82
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:31,420
‫So the examiner may say, do you enjoy studying English?

83
00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:36,850
‫And you'll give an answer and then the examiner will use this follow up question of is it a popular

84
00:07:36,850 --> 00:07:38,290
‫subject in your country?

85
00:07:38,650 --> 00:07:39,410
‫OK, yes.

86
00:07:39,550 --> 00:07:40,400
‫Let's see.

87
00:07:40,420 --> 00:07:44,130
‫Subject is any topic of study.

88
00:07:44,140 --> 00:07:50,590
‫So it could be English, it could be engineering, art, maths, any of these kinds of things, I'm

89
00:07:50,590 --> 00:07:51,740
‫going to say yes.

90
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:59,290
‫So, yes, it is a very popular.

91
00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:01,660
‫So I'm repeating the examiners.

92
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:04,300
‫Do I need to think of something better than popular?

93
00:08:04,330 --> 00:08:11,830
‫Yes, it is a very well, very highly studied.

94
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,850
‫So if that are popular, I'm using highly studied.

95
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:29,470
‫It is a very highly studied topic instead of subject that many students from my home country love to

96
00:08:29,470 --> 00:08:30,340
‫study.

97
00:08:30,850 --> 00:08:31,960
‫OK, there we go.

98
00:08:31,990 --> 00:08:34,450
‫So that's my final answer.

99
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:43,420
‫And you can see that as I'm writing these, I'm considering ways to change my language and improve my

100
00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:47,860
‫answer, giving details and making my vocabulary more interesting.

101
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:51,400
‫Let's move on to the topic of home.

102
00:08:54,910 --> 00:08:59,090
‫OK, here is our common question list.

103
00:08:59,350 --> 00:09:03,750
‫Let's begin with number one, where do you come from?

104
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,400
‫Where are you from?

105
00:09:05,410 --> 00:09:07,870
‫Where is your home?

106
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:17,050
‫It would be very easy to answer this quickly by just saying I am from England or I come from Europe

107
00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:18,370
‫or wherever you're from.

108
00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:25,450
‫But you still want to add that detail to make it possible of scoring those extra marks.

109
00:09:25,460 --> 00:09:29,370
‫So let's say I'll give you my answer.

110
00:09:29,620 --> 00:09:37,360
‫I come from a small village in northern England.

111
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:39,370
‫Is that enough?

112
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,960
‫Could I add just an extra piece of detail to make it more interesting?

113
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:54,460
‫I come from a small village in northern England, OK, but currently I live elsewhere.

114
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:56,860
‫I live somewhere else.

115
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,190
‫OK, so a bit of detail added and more interesting language used.

116
00:10:04,330 --> 00:10:07,300
‫So what is your home town like?

117
00:10:08,890 --> 00:10:12,100
‫Let's say we need a synonym for hometown.

118
00:10:13,070 --> 00:10:25,610
‫Let's try my birth place or the place of my the place of my birth is let's think of some interesting

119
00:10:25,610 --> 00:10:35,750
‫vocabulary, a very tranquil, which means quiet and beautiful place to live.

120
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,710
‫But more detail.

121
00:10:39,710 --> 00:10:47,890
‫Again, it isn't it is not it isn't very busy, in fact, now.

122
00:10:48,020 --> 00:10:49,750
‫So we've got an opener there.

123
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:58,280
‫An interesting even in fact, now that I am older, I actually find it boring.

124
00:10:58,340 --> 00:11:06,710
‫OK, so the place of my birth is a very tranquil, calm, peaceful and beautiful place to live, but

125
00:11:06,710 --> 00:11:08,210
‫it isn't very busy.

126
00:11:08,210 --> 00:11:13,130
‫In fact, now that I'm older, I actually find it boring.

127
00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:22,380
‫OK, question number three, who do you live with at the moment so we can use the opener?

128
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:29,210
‫Currently I am living with my two close friends.

129
00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:31,520
‫What could we say about these friends?

130
00:11:31,550 --> 00:11:32,360
‫Do we like them?

131
00:11:32,390 --> 00:11:33,200
‫Where did we meet them?

132
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:44,540
‫We met using the past tense, of course, because we met them before we met whilst studying at university

133
00:11:45,020 --> 00:11:46,820
‫two years ago.

134
00:11:47,390 --> 00:11:48,980
‫And again, a bit more detail.

135
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:52,910
‫Do you live in a house or an apartment?

136
00:11:52,910 --> 00:11:57,380
‫So an apartment is a British word in American English.

137
00:11:57,380 --> 00:12:03,950
‫They may say flat, so let's say right now.

138
00:12:03,950 --> 00:12:07,760
‫So we've got a bit of an opening to signal the start of our language.

139
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:19,370
‫I am currently sharing an apartment with those two close friends with my two close friends.

140
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,580
‫OK, and the final question for home.

141
00:12:22,580 --> 00:12:26,190
‫What kind of facilities are in your hometown?

142
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:33,950
‫Our facilities are places of interest or places of use that are available to you.

143
00:12:33,950 --> 00:12:42,680
‫For example, shops, gyms, swimming pools, these kinds of things, restaurants, bars, these are

144
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:43,850
‫all facilities.

145
00:12:43,850 --> 00:12:48,100
‫So what kind of facilities are in your hometown?

146
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:52,160
‫I'm going to say that we're from a busy, busy city.

147
00:12:53,630 --> 00:13:10,730
‫As I live in the city centre, there are many facilities available to use around the clock, a very

148
00:13:10,730 --> 00:13:13,730
‫native phrase around the clock.

149
00:13:13,730 --> 00:13:24,740
‫It means at any time I consider myself quite lucky in that respect.

150
00:13:24,740 --> 00:13:29,480
‫Again, a very colloquial native phrase.

151
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,230
‫This in that respect, I consider myself very lucky.

152
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:44,120
‫I consider myself very lucky, so very lucky in that respect, in the respect of having all these facilities

153
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:44,960
‫close by.

154
00:13:45,470 --> 00:13:47,780
‫OK, so they are there.

155
00:13:47,780 --> 00:13:51,890
‫We've seen five common questions for the topic of home.

156
00:13:52,070 --> 00:13:54,350
‫Let's move on to work.

157
00:13:57,740 --> 00:14:06,290
‫OK, question number one, have you ever had a part time job, I remember you can have a full time job

158
00:14:06,290 --> 00:14:07,310
‫where you will work.

159
00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:13,010
‫Long hours are a part time job where your hours will be less often fit.

160
00:14:13,010 --> 00:14:15,160
‫They're fitted between your studies.

161
00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:18,530
‫So have you ever had a part time job?

162
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:31,880
‫Yes, I have worked many part time jobs whilst studying for four ELTs.

163
00:14:34,010 --> 00:14:43,490
‫I find I found of course, we're talking about the jobs that we had before I found them to be a great

164
00:14:43,580 --> 00:14:45,770
‫way to earn money.

165
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,920
‫OK, just added some more detail.

166
00:14:48,170 --> 00:14:51,260
‫What jobs do you think are the best?

167
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,960
‫What kind of open could we use here?

168
00:14:55,100 --> 00:14:57,550
‫Well, we could say in my opinion.

169
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,590
‫So we've got that interesting opener.

170
00:15:00,170 --> 00:15:06,290
‫I believe the I don't want to say jobs and repeat the examiners too often.

171
00:15:06,290 --> 00:15:10,490
‫I believe the best types of jobs to work.

172
00:15:10,490 --> 00:15:23,090
‫Sorry, I believe the best types of work are ones that help other people, such as doctors or nurses.

173
00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:30,770
‫OK, and question number three, what kinds of responsibilities do you have at work to the examiner

174
00:15:30,770 --> 00:15:32,900
‫is following up a question here.

175
00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:38,810
‫You may have said I work part time and the examiner is asking you what kind of responsibilities, what

176
00:15:38,810 --> 00:15:42,170
‫tasks do you have at work?

177
00:15:44,030 --> 00:15:55,820
‫Let's say as a part time waiter, I need to process orders and make sure customers are happy.

178
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,120
‫They are my main responsibilities out.

179
00:16:00,140 --> 00:16:02,630
‫But again, we'd be repeating the examiner.

180
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:04,640
‫So what could I use tasks?

181
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:06,980
‫They are my main tasks.

182
00:16:07,250 --> 00:16:11,720
‫Where do you want to work in the future?

183
00:16:12,970 --> 00:16:24,880
‫I would love to work in a foreign country, maybe the U.K., so we're running out of space.

184
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,220
‫Just bear with me for a moment, OK?

185
00:16:27,610 --> 00:16:28,630
‫Is it difficult?

186
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,390
‫Is it a difficult job to get?

187
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:37,150
‫So let's say that you were talking about being a doctor the examiner may follow up with.

188
00:16:37,150 --> 00:16:48,100
‫They're asking you, is that a difficult job to get from my experience, another opponent to signal

189
00:16:48,100 --> 00:17:00,430
‫the beginning of our language, you must work and study extremely instead of very, extremely hard to

190
00:17:00,430 --> 00:17:02,620
‫become a doctor.

191
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:12,180
‫I will try my best, so again, just adding the extra bit of detail at the end just to show the examiner

192
00:17:12,180 --> 00:17:14,660
‫that I'm confident in my language.

193
00:17:14,970 --> 00:17:20,490
‫So there are our five answers to five common questions around the topic of work.

194
00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:23,580
‫We're now going to move on to family.

195
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:33,020
‫OK, here we go, five common questions for the topic of family for aout speaking part one.

196
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,390
‫Number one, we have what is your family like?

197
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,610
‫OK, so what kinds of things could we say about our family?

198
00:17:45,410 --> 00:17:51,740
‫My family really very important to me.

199
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:57,260
‫I cherish the time I spend with them.

200
00:17:58,460 --> 00:18:03,650
‫I cherish means I love to like something very much.

201
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,130
‫OK, let's move on to question number two.

202
00:18:07,130 --> 00:18:09,660
‫Do you get to see them often?

203
00:18:09,950 --> 00:18:12,590
‫How often do you see your family?

204
00:18:13,820 --> 00:18:21,110
‫Let's say I'd like an opener these days.

205
00:18:22,410 --> 00:18:35,850
‫These days, I don't see my, let's say, immediate relatives, so that's another phrase, immediate

206
00:18:35,850 --> 00:18:41,060
‫relatives that you can use to replace family, immediate relatives.

207
00:18:41,070 --> 00:18:44,420
‫It means your parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters.

208
00:18:44,820 --> 00:18:50,910
‫I don't see my immediate relatives as much as I would like to.

209
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,980
‫Currently, I am currently.

210
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,770
‫Studying full time, you see.

211
00:19:01,930 --> 00:19:09,170
‫OK, and question number three, who do you have the closest relationship with your family?

212
00:19:10,180 --> 00:19:11,080
‫Open a hair.

213
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:16,670
‫That's a very difficult question to answer.

214
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:25,690
‫I would have to say that I have strong relationships.

215
00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:37,550
‫With all family members, so if you want to talk about specific people, you can say family members,

216
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,080
‫okay, question number four, family and childhood.

217
00:19:42,090 --> 00:19:45,080
‫What was your childhood like?

218
00:19:45,090 --> 00:19:49,160
‫So this is obviously going to be in the past tense.

219
00:19:50,780 --> 00:20:02,150
‫I have very fond memories, a very common collocation phrase, fond memories, very good memories of

220
00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:03,400
‫my childhood.

221
00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:06,920
‫I think I played at some detail.

222
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:15,620
‫I played almost every day, sounds very nice and would just extend this slightly.

223
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:22,330
‫And we have our last question, which is, is family important where you come from?

224
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:29,270
‫So, again, asking you specifically about your experience from your home country.

225
00:20:30,380 --> 00:20:37,700
‫Yes, I do believe a great way to start your language in agreement.

226
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:45,230
‫I do believe family is highly important in my home country.

227
00:20:46,490 --> 00:20:50,090
‫And you would, of course, maybe add some extra detail to that.

228
00:20:50,450 --> 00:20:55,030
‫OK, so that is all for the topic of family.

229
00:20:55,310 --> 00:21:02,120
‫We're now going to take a look at a few extra questions from some of the other topics that are less

230
00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:02,630
‫common.

231
00:21:02,810 --> 00:21:07,670
‫But the that you may see in part one of the eyüp speaking test.

232
00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:09,920
‫So let's move on to that right now.

233
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:21,680
‫Here are five extra questions from five separate topics that are common, but you will not definitely

234
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,180
‫be seeing them in part one.

235
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:29,080
‫Just to give you an idea of the familiar topics, in part one, an eye out speaking.

236
00:21:29,630 --> 00:21:30,500
‫So let's take a look.

237
00:21:30,530 --> 00:21:32,660
‫Do you like using computers?

238
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,400
‫You can see in the question I've highlighted in bold the topic.

239
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:45,950
‫So do you like using computers and technology and computers is a very common topic in ALT'S, the whole

240
00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:50,120
‫test, not just speaking, but in other sections of the test.

241
00:21:50,990 --> 00:21:54,290
‫So they're asking for our opinion, whether we agree.

242
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:08,090
‫Actually, I don't really like using, let's say technology are not going to repeat the examiners and

243
00:22:08,090 --> 00:22:08,930
‫say computers.

244
00:22:08,930 --> 00:22:10,850
‫I'm going to say using technology.

245
00:22:11,270 --> 00:22:16,760
‫I find it can give me a real headache.

246
00:22:17,940 --> 00:22:20,600
‫OK, so that's adding more detail.

247
00:22:20,810 --> 00:22:25,700
‫We could just stop there and say, actually, I don't really like using technology, but that's a little

248
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:30,680
‫bit short and it gives us less chance to show off our language skills.

249
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,730
‫Question number two, what do you like to do in your free time, your free time?

250
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:39,530
‫So hobbies and free time.

251
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:43,070
‫Let's answer this question.

252
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:47,000
‫So I'm not going to repeat the topic phrase of free time.

253
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,870
‫I'm going to say hobbies these days.

254
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,630
‫I have many.

255
00:22:53,690 --> 00:22:55,520
‫One moment, I'll just change this.

256
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:02,630
‫These days I have many hobbies, including sports and languages.

257
00:23:02,810 --> 00:23:04,310
‫OK, there we go.

258
00:23:06,740 --> 00:23:10,220
‫Sports is my favorite.

259
00:23:12,460 --> 00:23:16,430
‫And question number three, let's move on to that.

260
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,920
‫What kind of transport do you use the most?

261
00:23:22,510 --> 00:23:25,340
‫Let's answer this question now.

262
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:34,570
‫What kind of transport do you use the most so we could talk about cars, trains, buses, bikes?

263
00:23:34,870 --> 00:23:38,830
‫I think that's the frequency that we will go for.

264
00:23:38,830 --> 00:23:45,480
‫The most used will be buses and the traffic in my city.

265
00:23:45,490 --> 00:23:48,100
‫So an interesting way to begin your dialogue.

266
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:49,600
‫You're talking about the traffic.

267
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,320
‫Then you give the answer to which transport you use the most.

268
00:23:53,710 --> 00:24:06,610
‫The traffic in my city is very chaotic and therefore I tend to avoid let's say we don't really use most

269
00:24:06,610 --> 00:24:12,290
‫kinds of transport except for walking.

270
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:18,490
‫OK, so we're saying that we don't take the buses of the cars because the traffic's too bad.

271
00:24:19,570 --> 00:24:21,490
‫So transport another common topic.

272
00:24:21,490 --> 00:24:22,930
‫And onto the next question.

273
00:24:22,930 --> 00:24:25,980
‫Another common topic is this food.

274
00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:33,310
‫So you may be asked some questions about your eating habits in part one of the ALT'S speaking test.

275
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,810
‫So do you enjoy eating healthy foods?

276
00:24:39,070 --> 00:24:41,410
‫So we've used this these days.

277
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:44,830
‫Let's think of an apron.

278
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,760
‫I'm almost sad to say.

279
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,440
‫So you're going to say something you're actually a little bit ashamed of?

280
00:24:53,440 --> 00:25:01,210
‫I'm almost sad to say that really I don't eat many healthy foods.

281
00:25:02,050 --> 00:25:06,460
‫It's something I would like to change, though.

282
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,210
‫OK, so that's really interesting opener.

283
00:25:10,270 --> 00:25:12,100
‫I'm almost sad to say.

284
00:25:12,820 --> 00:25:17,520
‫I'm almost sad to say that really I don't eat many healthy foods.

285
00:25:18,460 --> 00:25:21,310
‫OK, so that is a question on foods.

286
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:28,390
‫Another fairly common topic could be flowers, but it's less likely you'll see this.

287
00:25:28,930 --> 00:25:36,550
‫But it gives you an idea that the topics really in part one and aout speaking are things that you will

288
00:25:36,550 --> 00:25:38,500
‫have some understanding about.

289
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:43,120
‫You shouldn't be surprised by the topic that you need to talk about.

290
00:25:43,330 --> 00:25:44,860
‫So do you like flowers?

291
00:25:45,490 --> 00:25:50,200
‫I'm going to quite simply say, in all honesty.

292
00:25:51,160 --> 00:26:03,020
‫In all honesty, I don't really care much for flowers, I suppose they are quite nice, though.

293
00:26:04,180 --> 00:26:10,080
‫So again, an extra piece of information to make my language more interesting.

294
00:26:10,930 --> 00:26:19,150
‫So that really is just some examples of extra kinds of topics and questions that you might get in the

295
00:26:19,150 --> 00:26:22,840
‫12 questions in part one of aout speaking.

296
00:26:23,290 --> 00:26:32,260
‫Important things to remember, to try and add information, detail and interesting language to your

297
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:33,130
‫speaking.

298
00:26:34,510 --> 00:26:41,620
‫OK, so that brings us to the end of this lesson, if you would like any more lessons like this where

299
00:26:41,620 --> 00:26:49,390
‫I'm modeling language in this live recording situation, then please do let me know and I will try and

300
00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:51,340
‫add more lessons like this.

301
00:26:52,330 --> 00:26:53,530
‫Just a quick point.

302
00:26:53,530 --> 00:26:58,680
‫If you haven't given any feedback on the court yet, I would highly appreciate it.

303
00:26:59,260 --> 00:27:03,900
‫It really helps me to update this course and of course, for students to find out.

304
00:27:03,910 --> 00:27:08,620
‫Seven plus to see you in the next lesson.
