1
00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:00,630
All right.

2
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:05,340
So Shivam is going to follow exactly the same pattern that you just heard Pavan give.

3
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:07,800
You're going to do part two and then part three.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:08,380
Okay.

5
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:10,470
Sounds good.

6
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:17,370
All right, everybody, we're about to do the sample right now, so please don't ask any questions in

7
00:00:17,370 --> 00:00:20,310
the chat box because it will make an interruption.

8
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:21,450
So please don't do that.

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:24,370
All right.

10
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:26,000
Here is the cue card on the left.

11
00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:30,610
On the left side, talk about a situation when you were not allowed to use a mobile phone.

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,390
Please say when it was, where it was, why you needed to use a mobile phone and explain how you felt

13
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:38,020
about it.

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,790
You have one minute to prepare.

15
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:44,410
Okay.

16
00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:46,100
So your one minute is up.

17
00:01:47,390 --> 00:01:50,000
You now have 2 minutes to speak.

18
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,280
You may begin speaking now.

19
00:01:52,290 --> 00:02:02,480
So it was indeed I was not allowed to use my cell phone when I planned an impromptu trip to temple when,

20
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:11,030
you know, I suddenly found a lot of, you know, disturbances in my life and eventually went to calm

21
00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:23,420
down myself when I was back a teen, maybe it was in somewhere near 26, 22,005, if I'm not mistaken.

22
00:02:23,420 --> 00:02:30,500
And it was a temple, of course, where I went to kind of meditate and I taught to, you know, kind

23
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:35,180
of self introspect and I was probably went there to do a self-discovery.

24
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:42,830
So back there I was not allowed to use my mobile phone and it was kind of clearly written on the boards.

25
00:02:42,830 --> 00:02:50,660
In spite of that, I went ahead and took out my mobile phone and I and that was probably the first place

26
00:02:50,660 --> 00:02:51,800
where I encountered that.

27
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,830
No, you cannot use a mobile phone where it was it was in Bangalore, ISKCON Temple.

28
00:02:57,830 --> 00:03:02,630
So it's called Temple is one of the most famous temple in India.

29
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:11,810
And apparently this temple is a known for regaining the consciousness amongst the people around and

30
00:03:12,530 --> 00:03:15,020
it is located in on a hilltop.

31
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:23,150
And this place is kind of, you know, located in a serenity where people do come to meditate and,

32
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:29,150
you know, kind of self explore themselves and understand the meaning of inner life.

33
00:03:29,150 --> 00:03:31,790
So that's what the Second Temple is about.

34
00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:38,690
And I was trying to click the pictures of art history around and because there are a lot of beautiful

35
00:03:38,690 --> 00:03:42,020
scriptures out there and I felt tempted to do that.

36
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:49,700
The importance I felt is that one should respect the discipline of a place, and it was something I

37
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:50,420
did not follow.

38
00:03:50,420 --> 00:03:51,680
So, yeah, that's what I learned.

39
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:52,970
Please learn to be disciplined.

40
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:53,450
Yeah.

41
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:59,090
Okay, let's go ahead and move on to part number three.

42
00:03:59,270 --> 00:03:59,900
All right.

43
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,750
So bottom part number three, please don't look at the screen.

44
00:04:03,050 --> 00:04:09,830
Question one, what are the advantages and disadvantages of constant communication through mobile phones?

45
00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:15,260
What are the advantages and disadvantages of constant communication through mobile phones?

46
00:04:16,220 --> 00:04:21,890
So mobile phone, as the name suggests, is used for the intermediate immediate connectivity between

47
00:04:21,890 --> 00:04:22,790
two persons.

48
00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:29,900
So that's the first importance that you can exchange and immediate and important communication piece

49
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:32,360
with the person who is not nearby to you.

50
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,870
So that's one of the most important pieces while you are on a move.

51
00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:41,690
So you need not be physically located at a place or connected to a particular fixed line, but you can

52
00:04:41,690 --> 00:04:45,290
make exchange your exchange the communication piece on a move.

53
00:04:45,290 --> 00:04:46,790
So that's the most important piece.

54
00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:47,050
Yeah.

55
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:48,350
Okay.

56
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,320
What is the main purpose that people nowadays use mobile phones for?

57
00:04:55,470 --> 00:04:59,100
So as daytime has evolved, the mobile phone has too.

58
00:04:59,130 --> 00:05:05,160
So with the evolution of technology that you can use, one can use mobile phone for capturing a lot

59
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,870
of multimedia, which includes clicking the snaps around along with hearing the music while you're on

60
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:10,490
the go.

61
00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:15,120
And also there are a lot of apps around which can help you, you know, kind of kill you and not kill

62
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:15,540
your time.

63
00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:19,320
I'll say it can help you, you know, kind of a digital detox for yourself.

64
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:27,600
So, so just besides talking to someone, you can also use it for clicking pictures, you know, using

65
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:36,120
some kind of apps which enhances you or, you know, making some notes or emailing, texting and listening

66
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,400
to music and whatnot.

67
00:05:37,410 --> 00:05:40,320
My phone is like world these days in itself.

68
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:49,320
And are there any differences between the younger and older generations regarding their use of mobile

69
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,160
phones?

70
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,770
Of course, there is a big disparity between the two generations.

71
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:03,630
It starts like if I use my cell phone, I will download all the complex apps which is available in the

72
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:04,550
marketplace.

73
00:06:04,570 --> 00:06:11,490
But on the other hand, if my mother uses smartphones, of course she would be, you know, kind of

74
00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:15,820
struggling when it comes to do basic SMS.

75
00:06:15,890 --> 00:06:19,530
So that's the biggest disparity between the two generations.

76
00:06:19,530 --> 00:06:20,700
But yeah, they are.

77
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:27,510
I will not say that it's their mistake, but eventually it's the it's because of the technological technology,

78
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:34,380
the technical gap between these two generations, which made them a little behind from what we can do

79
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:36,240
with our mobile, mobile phones.

80
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,960
So so yeah, there is a lot of gap, I would rather say.

81
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,040
Okay, sir Bob, thank you very much.

82
00:06:43,050 --> 00:06:45,570
You can turn off your mic and audio now.

83
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,720
Please, Siobhan, go ahead.

84
00:06:49,730 --> 00:06:51,380
And I'm not sure if I'm sorry.

85
00:06:51,410 --> 00:06:54,050
If you have any feedback for Siobhan, please give it.

86
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,790
I'll get my brief feedback.

87
00:06:57,260 --> 00:07:00,890
So Bob has great pronunciation, right?

88
00:07:00,890 --> 00:07:07,760
So if you want to know what high level pronunciation is like, he has great pronunciation.

89
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:11,420
His part number two was very coherent.

90
00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:18,200
The only thing I would say about part number two is Shivam kind of went off on a tangent.

91
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:22,700
Talking about the purpose of the temple.

92
00:07:23,090 --> 00:07:27,350
And there are a lot a lot of information about the temple.

93
00:07:28,820 --> 00:07:36,380
And I don't know what that really had to do with answering the question, but it gave a lot of a lot

94
00:07:36,380 --> 00:07:37,820
of background about the temple.

95
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:44,080
And I would have rather him use some of that time to more address the question directly.

96
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,030
That's the only thing I heard about part number two.

97
00:07:47,860 --> 00:07:53,860
Now, another thing about Shavon was he gives us a really good example of vocabulary.

98
00:07:54,370 --> 00:08:04,000
So for example, if you listen to his response, he gave a good example of using idioms and using proper

99
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,940
collocations, right?

100
00:08:06,940 --> 00:08:14,440
So as an examiner, when you can hear somebody giving proper collocations, such as digital detox,

101
00:08:14,830 --> 00:08:25,420
technical gap, phrases like on the go kill time, and then also giving a range of pronunciation with

102
00:08:25,420 --> 00:08:30,610
basic words and and academic words such as disparity.

103
00:08:30,910 --> 00:08:31,330
Right.

104
00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:37,210
So that's really what you're what you're looking for in terms of.

105
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,420
In terms of scoring.

106
00:08:40,220 --> 00:08:40,490
Right.

107
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,050
That's really what you're looking for.

108
00:08:44,460 --> 00:08:44,640
Yeah.

109
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,950
Somebody else said the same thing about the temple also.

110
00:08:47,910 --> 00:08:49,220
Yeah, I don't know what I mean.

111
00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:50,340
I don't know what happened to Shivam.

112
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:51,480
Shivam just started.

113
00:08:52,350 --> 00:08:52,740
I don't know.

114
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:58,680
He went deep into the temple but.

115
00:08:59,130 --> 00:09:01,740
But it was still, you know, it was actually really good.

116
00:09:02,460 --> 00:09:03,160
Really, really good.

117
00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:03,750
Okay.

118
00:09:06,490 --> 00:09:06,810
All right.

119
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:09,840
I'll let you hear my response to this.

120
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:16,800
The mobile phone is very important in today's society, and as such is very rare that an individual

121
00:09:16,830 --> 00:09:20,490
will go around without their phone practically attached to their hip.

122
00:09:20,910 --> 00:09:27,570
However, there was a time about ten years ago where I was in a particular particular situation that

123
00:09:27,570 --> 00:09:29,940
I was not allowed to use my mobile phone.

124
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,520
And it really troubled me at that time.

125
00:09:33,460 --> 00:09:36,040
I happen to be in Frankfurt, Germany.

126
00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:45,250
Like I said, this was around 2011, 2010, and I was going to fly on a Lufthansa flight that was heading

127
00:09:45,250 --> 00:09:46,810
back to the United States.

128
00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:54,220
Now, they let us know before the plane took off that you have to turn off your phone and that you're

129
00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:56,200
not going to be able to use your phone.

130
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:04,600
So I was sitting there actually on the plane and we were getting ready to take off maybe in about three

131
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:12,550
or 4 minutes when suddenly I received a message from my wife that said my son had been injured and that

132
00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:14,140
he needed to have surgery.

133
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,290
Upon reading that message, I was in a panic.

134
00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:23,140
The flight attendant walked up to me and said, Sir, you have to turn off your phone right now.

135
00:10:23,470 --> 00:10:25,690
You cannot use your phone right now.

136
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,010
I know we're going to have we're going to leave in about five or 6 minutes, but you must turn off your

137
00:10:30,010 --> 00:10:30,580
phone.

138
00:10:30,970 --> 00:10:33,640
I just wanted to call and get an update.

139
00:10:34,210 --> 00:10:37,390
Now, I felt horrible about this situation.

140
00:10:37,630 --> 00:10:43,960
And in fact, I really felt like an irresponsible father at that time, because as a father, you're

141
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:50,620
supposed to be able to fulfill your duty and check on your children or be able to support your wife

142
00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:53,530
in that type of difficult, troubling situation.

143
00:10:53,680 --> 00:11:00,460
So that Lufthansa flight ten years ago was when I was not able to use my phone and I still remember

144
00:11:00,460 --> 00:11:02,020
it to this very day.

145
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:03,580
I'll never forget it.

146
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:06,330
Okay.

147
00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:09,750
And there is my response.

148
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:14,820
So if you have any comments about my response to the question now, when I give, when I give, when

149
00:11:14,820 --> 00:11:21,060
I give my sample responses, everybody, I'm just using my notes like those you see here on the screen.

150
00:11:22,050 --> 00:11:23,930
I don't have a script in front of me.

151
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:25,710
I'm not speaking from a script.

152
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:33,060
So and the reason why I do it that way, when I give you an example, is to get a band nine.

153
00:11:33,060 --> 00:11:34,680
It doesn't have to be perfect.

154
00:11:35,610 --> 00:11:35,870
Right.

155
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,650
I'm not going to I'm not going to give you something spoken from a written script, because, number

156
00:11:40,650 --> 00:11:42,390
one, it doesn't sound natural.

157
00:11:43,340 --> 00:11:48,920
It doesn't sound natural and you need to be able to hear what a real response could sound like.

158
00:11:49,370 --> 00:11:50,720
Somebody said that was intense.

159
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,250
I'm not sure what that means.

160
00:11:53,210 --> 00:11:54,920
Ram said it was intense.

161
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:59,150
But you want to be able to speak in a natural.

162
00:11:59,790 --> 00:12:04,170
Natural way with coherent.

163
00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:10,660
And flows there has very clear progression and coherence.

164
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,350
And I'm staying inside the box of the question.

165
00:12:16,050 --> 00:12:18,750
And that's what I was talking about in terms of Siobhan.

166
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,290
Siobhan.

167
00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:23,610
