1
00:00:02,370 --> 00:00:03,630
That's my background.

2
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:05,970
All right.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,220
Okay, man, that's my guy.

4
00:00:08,340 --> 00:00:09,490
That's a virtual background.

5
00:00:09,510 --> 00:00:10,530
I just change it.

6
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:11,430
Okay.

7
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:12,480
All right, that's fine.

8
00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:15,090
All right, here is your card.

9
00:00:15,630 --> 00:00:20,340
Describe a situation when you argued with friends about something.

10
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:25,900
What was it about when and where did it take place?

11
00:00:26,290 --> 00:00:31,300
How you resolve the argument and explain how you felt about it later.

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,400
You have one minute to prepare.

13
00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:37,730
All right.

14
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:38,600
Time is up.

15
00:01:38,610 --> 00:01:42,150
You now have 2 minutes to speak and you may begin.

16
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:46,090
Yeah.

17
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:47,770
Thanks for giving me the chance.

18
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:59,860
Recently I had always we have an argument with friends with different topics, but I would like to specify

19
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:05,650
a recent argument we had with my friends.

20
00:02:05,650 --> 00:02:08,260
This is regarding about our political view.

21
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,890
So everybody has different political views.

22
00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:14,110
Some are left some rights.

23
00:02:14,110 --> 00:02:14,830
I'm in left wing.

24
00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:15,510
Right wing.

25
00:02:15,820 --> 00:02:25,180
So I towards my friend which which I'm talking about at this moment here is towards the right wing person.

26
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:32,890
So he into those and he's he's a part of the conservatives.

27
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,420
So his views are I mean, not he his views are conservative views.

28
00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:42,190
So we had a structured argument about the political situation in my country.

29
00:02:42,190 --> 00:02:52,330
So he was giving his own opinion about about his about that particular situation, how how he thinks

30
00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:53,050
about it.

31
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,220
And it happened this last year.

32
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:03,460
There was some political things going on in my country and it happened in my SO.

33
00:03:04,870 --> 00:03:11,170
But we had some heated arguments, but ultimately we understood everybody has their own view and we

34
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:14,830
should respect it and we always learn from their views.

35
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:19,630
And it is not necessarily that what I feel is right.

36
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:28,900
We also have to think other from the other point of views also, and this really helped me to understand

37
00:03:28,900 --> 00:03:38,230
that that always there are other, other, other other people's view which we should respect and we

38
00:03:38,230 --> 00:03:39,700
we should also learn from it.

39
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:46,600
And we definitely we always there is something to learn by discussing those points.

40
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:47,350
All right.

41
00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:50,770
Please stop moving on to part number three now.

42
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Please don't look at the screen.

43
00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:56,590
All right.

44
00:03:56,590 --> 00:04:01,900
So first question, do you think arguments are helpful?

45
00:04:05,230 --> 00:04:06,340
Definitely, yes.

46
00:04:06,490 --> 00:04:09,730
Arguments are always helpful and healthy.

47
00:04:09,730 --> 00:04:18,130
Arguments always gives us an opportunity to learn, to understand other people view and their ideas

48
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:24,790
that frankly, we should not go into, but we should be careful that we should not go to too much on

49
00:04:24,790 --> 00:04:25,420
that argument.

50
00:04:25,420 --> 00:04:32,380
That will turn into a turn into ugly event and it will have negative consequences.

51
00:04:33,610 --> 00:04:33,970
All right.

52
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,990
Next question.

53
00:04:35,230 --> 00:04:39,100
Why do arguments between family members arise?

54
00:04:42,290 --> 00:04:42,770
There are.

55
00:04:42,770 --> 00:04:51,910
Of course, we love everyone in our family, but there are situations when we have arguments due to

56
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,440
different varieties of topic.

57
00:04:53,450 --> 00:05:01,040
Maybe sometimes it is financials or maybe sometimes it's their opinion too.

58
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:13,640
That's something in the some some decisions in the House which may turn the event in an appropriate

59
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,050
way.

60
00:05:14,060 --> 00:05:19,910
But definitely as a family member, we should talk to each other and resolve those arguments.

61
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:20,900
All right.

62
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:29,300
And final question, can such arguments change how family members feel about each other?

63
00:05:32,890 --> 00:05:40,000
Definitely it will have an impact on the family members the way they think about each other.

64
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:47,710
If some people are very flexible and they are open minded and they can forget about like, okay, it's

65
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,840
the heat of the moment.

66
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,210
They smoke something and other people smoke something and they may forget.

67
00:05:55,210 --> 00:05:56,770
But some people are very.

68
00:05:58,740 --> 00:05:59,250
Already.

69
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:06,990
They are very narrow minded and they definitely keep keep the grudges.

70
00:06:06,990 --> 00:06:16,370
So that will definitely can change the spoiler relation and change the way family things and the way

71
00:06:16,380 --> 00:06:17,100
family goes.

72
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:22,260
All right, Arjun, thank you very much for participating.

73
00:06:22,860 --> 00:06:26,040
If you have any feedback for our June, please give it to him.

74
00:06:26,590 --> 00:06:26,990
Ma ju.

75
00:06:27,060 --> 00:06:28,000
And I think in your part.

76
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:32,700
Number two, there were some instances of pausing and hesitation as you want to work on.

77
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:37,230
But I think something else that you definitely have to pay attention to is you have a tendency, you

78
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:43,170
have a tendency to repeat some of the same phrases like two or three times.

79
00:06:43,980 --> 00:06:52,650
And when you're repeating a lot of the same phrases, it's is showing a lack of range.

80
00:06:53,010 --> 00:06:59,910
Now, part of that might be because you're not sure what to say next, and so you repeat the same thing.

81
00:07:00,060 --> 00:07:03,780
But that happened a few times in your part.

82
00:07:03,810 --> 00:07:06,360
Number two, your pronunciation is fine.

83
00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:09,090
Your pronunciation is fine.

84
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,330
You know, you're you're you're able to really speak, but you've got to cut down on that, on that,

85
00:07:15,330 --> 00:07:20,490
on that, on that repeating the same phrase over again.

86
00:07:21,630 --> 00:07:22,830
Work on your part.

87
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:28,020
Number three, what will help your score also is not repeating the words in the question.

88
00:07:28,020 --> 00:07:33,570
So, for example, when they when they talk about in part number three and they talk about, do you

89
00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:35,160
think arguments are helpful?

90
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,270
You know, use a synonym for the word helpful.

91
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,300
Use a synonym for the word argument.

92
00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:43,230
Right.

93
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:45,030
So so range.

94
00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:46,530
Right.

95
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:50,430
So when you're repeating, you're not showing range.

96
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:55,470
And also you want to work on having different discourse markers.

97
00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:59,580
You probably told me the word definitely about three times.

98
00:08:01,050 --> 00:08:02,970
So again, so range.

99
00:08:03,150 --> 00:08:06,480
So, so much of scoring well on the speaking section.

100
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,230
In the writing section, everybody is about range.

101
00:08:11,220 --> 00:08:17,700
The range in the words that you're used, the range in the sentence structures that you use.

102
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:21,270
It's about range, range and accuracy.

103
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:26,280
People always ask me, how do I improve my score, range and accuracy?

104
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,870
Something else that you should take.

105
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,840
Something else are Jun.

106
00:08:32,850 --> 00:08:33,230
Thanks a lot.

107
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,650
Turn off your video for me please.

108
00:08:34,650 --> 00:08:35,610
And your audio.

109
00:08:37,020 --> 00:08:41,820
Something else that I think you should take from what?

110
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:52,230
What I went through today is a big part of doing well on the speaking section has absolutely nothing

111
00:08:52,230 --> 00:08:59,640
to do with your understanding of strategy, with your understanding of what you're supposed to do.

112
00:09:00,650 --> 00:09:09,170
I think you heard in several responses that the main problem that people face was being nervous, not

113
00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:12,050
being relaxed, not being confident.

114
00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:19,970
That has nothing to do with knowing how to answer part one questions, knowing what you're supposed

115
00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:23,840
to do in part to knowing what you're supposed to do in part three.

116
00:09:24,620 --> 00:09:30,350
There's a big difference between knowing how to do something and actually being able to execute it.

117
00:09:31,130 --> 00:09:34,610
So that's something that you really need to take away from this.

118
00:09:34,910 --> 00:09:42,140
So many times students focus on strategy, strategy, strategy, strategy, and you've got to be able

119
00:09:42,140 --> 00:09:44,840
to conquer the mental aspect of the exam.

120
00:09:45,290 --> 00:09:52,400
That's why in the course, in the very first section, you see me talk about test anxiety, test anxiety,

121
00:09:52,400 --> 00:10:00,740
reducing test anxiety, minimizing test anxiety, because that's a big hindrance, especially on the

122
00:10:00,740 --> 00:10:01,820
speaking section.

123
00:10:02,300 --> 00:10:04,130
It can affect you in all sections.

124
00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:11,950
But I hope that you saw that today because with several students, the nerves got them woven.

125
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,730
Emma.

126
00:10:16,340 --> 00:10:17,390
Bushra.

127
00:10:18,420 --> 00:10:19,230
Gene.

128
00:10:19,740 --> 00:10:23,490
Their biggest issue was other issues, but nerves got them.

129
00:10:24,380 --> 00:10:27,350
And nerves can be a big problem.

130
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:33,170
But I want to thank everybody for participating today.

131
00:10:33,990 --> 00:10:42,720
Thank you very much to all of the volunteers who volunteered to help me give samples today on the parts

132
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,680
two and three.

133
00:10:44,430 --> 00:10:51,000
Thank you for being brave and putting yourself out there in front of hundreds of people because that's

134
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,900
not easy.

135
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,870
But I think everybody being able to look at what you're doing in a live setting will allow everybody

136
00:10:57,870 --> 00:11:00,450
to benefit and do better on their exam.

137
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:02,400
So I really appreciate it.

138
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:09,180
And and thank you for taking the time to participate in this July Live class.

139
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:11,130
Thank you very much.

140
00:11:11,820 --> 00:11:18,000

141
00:11:18,660 --> 00:11:21,900

142
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:26,370
