was in the northeast in Thailand. 36 00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:28,920 I will. 37 00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:35,960 I had a homestay in my friend's house for a week. 38 00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:53,930 Her house was really special because and they are it's the structure is it's very different from like 39 00:02:53,930 --> 00:02:56,150 my country's buildings. 40 00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:10,500 Though I can I could see a lot of insects and 41 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,290 the. 42 00:03:21,780 --> 00:03:22,970 And. 43 00:03:25,450 --> 00:03:35,410 Uh, that, um, I, I can also see the view of the sky in the mountains. 44 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,700 So one day, I. 45 00:03:40,300 --> 00:03:48,310 I saw the sunrise with my friends and. 46 00:03:51,690 --> 00:03:58,350 The House was really special things. 47 00:04:03,150 --> 00:04:04,230 Things. 48 00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:11,350 Okay. 49 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:13,180 Let's move on to part number two. 50 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,860 Part three. 51 00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:15,670 All right. 52 00:04:15,670 --> 00:04:17,770 So, Emma, don't look at the screen. 53 00:04:19,180 --> 00:04:24,840 Question one in which part of your country would you like to live in? 54 00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:25,420 Why? 55 00:04:29,130 --> 00:04:30,480 In my country. 56 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,350 I like to live in in the south. 57 00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:45,730 Because they are there are a lot of famous foods and ancient buildings in the south. 58 00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:47,550 Okay. 59 00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:54,760 And what kind of checklist do people have for buying a house in your country? 60 00:04:57,420 --> 00:04:58,460 I had. 61 00:04:58,500 --> 00:04:59,400 Sorry, I. 62 00:04:59,810 --> 00:05:02,280 I didn't quite follow it. 63 00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:03,170 Could you. 64 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:05,300 Could you repeat again? 65 00:05:05,330 --> 00:05:06,290 Sure. 66 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,860 What kind of checklist do people have for buying a house in your country? 67 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:17,110 A. 68 00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:24,310 These fine house in my country. 69 00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:35,150 To be honest, I have no idea about this question. 70 00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:36,170 Okay. 71 00:05:36,170 --> 00:05:38,330 Let's move on to the final question. 72 00:05:38,570 --> 00:05:45,080 What is the difference between houses in cities and in the countryside in your country? 73 00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:54,330 The differences between the city and the countryside in my country. 74 00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:04,830 I in in the city the the houses are more modern in luxury. 75 00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:14,430 But in the countryside, the house that the house houses are. 76 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:26,530 Mostly they are like two, two stories house, not the tall buildings in the countryside. 77 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:28,750 All right. 78 00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:30,070 Thank you very much. 79 00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:32,050 I saw Emma in your part. 80 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,140 Number two, Emma, you have a lot to work on. 81 00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:45,430 There was a lot of pausing, a lot of hesitation, a lot of gaps. 82 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:56,980 When you're speaking, it also it also appears that you have trouble with with your with your with language 83 00:06:56,980 --> 00:07:00,670 related in terms of searching for words to say. 84 00:07:01,180 --> 00:07:07,450 There's a difference between your pausing and hesitation being language related versus your pausing 85 00:07:07,450 --> 00:07:09,700 and hesitation being content related. 86 00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:17,100 If you're pausing and hesitation is content related, you actually score at a higher level when you're 87 00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:22,530 pausing and hesitation is language related, meaning you're trying to search for the right words to 88 00:07:22,530 --> 00:07:27,630 say or having trouble with the right words to say, or there's low automaticity that causes a big drop 89 00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:28,140 in scoring. 90 00:07:28,140 --> 00:07:29,410 So Emma. 91 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:37,950 Emma has to work on her fluency a lot and being able to speak that 2 minutes is a lot longer than you 92 00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:38,580 think. 93 00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:47,340 Also an example in part number three of one, on the second question that she got caught up on was, 94 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:51,900 I'm not I don't think she had a clear understanding of the word checklist. 95 00:07:53,190 --> 00:07:53,590 Right. 96 00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:54,570 Checklist. 97 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,040 And it's okay to ask to repeat repeat a question. 98 00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:03,810 But, you know, fluency. 99 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Pronunciation. 100 00:08:07,580 --> 00:08:11,000 GRAMMER There's there's a lot that has to be worked on there. 101 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:19,340 But Emma, thank you very much for participating because we can learn from responses that are great 102 00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:22,400 and we can learn from responses that are not so great. 103 00:08:23,450 --> 00:08:26,270 And so thank you for participating. 104 00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:28,820 But you do, you know you'll be okay. 105 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,010 You still have time to prepare. 106 00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:38,330 You just have to work on, you know, improvement in almost all the areas. 107 00:08:39,050 --> 00:08:40,130 But that's okay. 108 00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:45,280 And I will let you hear. 109 00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:48,740 My response to this one. 110 00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:56,840 Growing up in the United States, one has an opportunity to see many, many different forms and types 111 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,800 of homes. 112 00:08:58,190 --> 00:09:05,990 We have Spanish villas, single family homes, many, many types of homes that you come across. 113 00:09:06,620 --> 00:09:13,640 However, about two years ago, I saw a house that really took my breath away. 114 00:09:14,090 --> 00:09:18,590 This had to be around 2019, so it was fairly recent. 115 00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:24,350 I happened to be traveling in Morocco, the central part, to be exact. 116 00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:34,430 I was actually probably around 20 or 30 miles outside of Casablanca in an area called Busy Businessman, 117 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:41,540 and forgive me if I'm pronouncing it incorrectly, but as we were driving through that area, I saw 118 00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:46,370 a home that really just was outstanding. 119 00:09:46,370 --> 00:09:48,620 I had never seen a home like that before. 120 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:58,850 As we were driving along on the road off to the left, I can see this new home on a big plot of land. 121 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,820 And I was simply in all because these were eco dome homes. 122 00:10:03,830 --> 00:10:05,810 The homes were in the shape of a dome. 123 00:10:06,290 --> 00:10:12,350 And so I had an opportunity to walk around this home and I marveled at the shapes of the home. 124 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:15,140 Then we got an invitation to go inside. 125 00:10:15,260 --> 00:10:19,910 And I was inspired because inside the home there were no right angles. 126 00:10:19,940 --> 00:10:23,210 Everything was in a curvature or curved shape. 127 00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:30,650 Now, I would definitely live there for sure, because that type of home is cool in the summer and warm 128 00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:31,520 in the winter. 129 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:37,520 So when I have an opportunity to build a home, I'm definitely going to call those people. 130 00:10:37,820 --> 00:10:42,680 And I might even have a built in Morocco because I want that type of home. 131 00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,690 That's how much I loved it. 132 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:48,290 OC So there is my response. 133 00:10:48,530 --> 00:10:53,210 If you have any questions about my response, please feel free to ask again. 134 00:10:53,210 --> 00:11:01,040 I am speaking directly from my notes in an unscripted way to give you an example of what it's like and 135 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,820 give you an example of progression in terms of speaking. 136 00:11:05,810 --> 00:11:10,610 A couple of questions I must ask me about what's the significance of taking notes? 137 00:11:10,970 --> 00:11:16,940 When you take notes, you're able to you have or you can give an organized and coherent response. 138 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,040 When you're when you're talking off the top of your head, which is what you're asking me about when 139 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,510 you're talking off the top of your head, you're doing two things. 140 00:11:28,350 --> 00:11:30,450 You're trying to think of what to say. 141 00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,620 And how to say it. 142 00:11:33,710 --> 00:11:38,480 And when you're trying to think of what to say and then how to say it, that causes interruptions in 143 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,450 pronunciation, fluency, hesitation. 144 00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:45,950 So when you have an outline, you already know what you want to talk about. 145 00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:47,300 You don't need to think about. 146 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,870 You just need to focus on how to say it. 147 00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:51,070 That's why you outline.
