1
00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:02,980
This is an aisle speaking simulation.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,520
Self practice test seven.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,530
Let's get started.

4
00:00:10,130 --> 00:00:14,990
Please pause the video right here so you can review the instructions.

5
00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:22,250
These instructions are really, really important so that you understand how to do this self practice

6
00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:22,970
test.

7
00:00:23,810 --> 00:00:30,170
I'm going to go ahead and get started right away with part one of the three parts of the speaking test,

8
00:00:31,010 --> 00:00:32,510
this self assessment.

9
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:36,800
And this speaking test goes over all three parts.

10
00:00:36,830 --> 00:00:44,660
Make sure that you truly, truly simulate the exam record yourself so that you can later on listen and

11
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:46,100
do a self assessment.

12
00:00:46,550 --> 00:00:47,570
Let's begin.

13
00:00:50,830 --> 00:00:52,270
Speaking Part one.

14
00:00:52,450 --> 00:00:57,640
Make sure right now that you cover your screen so that you cannot see the questions.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,550
Use a blue piece of paper or a black piece of paper or a manila folder.

16
00:01:03,970 --> 00:01:08,740
Cover your screen because on the real exam you cannot see the questions.

17
00:01:09,010 --> 00:01:15,520
I will ask a question and pause for 5 seconds before I ask the next question.

18
00:01:15,790 --> 00:01:20,170
Of course, you cannot answer within 5 seconds.

19
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:27,670
So what you want to do is press the spacebar to pause the video, and then after pause after after pausing

20
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:33,640
the video, immediately give you a response, then afterwards, press the spacebar so you can begin

21
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,300
again.

22
00:01:34,330 --> 00:01:35,890
Let's go ahead and get started.

23
00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:43,500
Could you please tell me your name?

24
00:01:49,020 --> 00:01:50,520
Who gave you your name?

25
00:01:57,310 --> 00:02:00,010
Is your name very popular in your country?

26
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:06,350
Let's now talk about your studying.

27
00:02:08,930 --> 00:02:11,090
What is your favorite course?

28
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:19,200
Who advise you to study this subject.

29
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,240
Has there been anything unexpected about your studies?

30
00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:37,880
Let's talk about your residential area.

31
00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:41,570
Do you live in a house or an apartment?

32
00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:49,480
How is your house or apartment decorated?

33
00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:56,240
Do you have a garden?

34
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:03,080
Who do you live with?

35
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:13,680
Let's now move forward and talk about challenges.

36
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:18,780
Tell me about the type of challenges that children face.

37
00:03:24,530 --> 00:03:28,550
What lessons do children need to learn from challenges?

38
00:03:34,670 --> 00:03:36,290
In the recent times.

39
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:42,050
Do you think that parents allow their children to go through enough challenges?

40
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Let's now talk about water sports.

41
00:03:52,910 --> 00:03:55,250
Have you ever played water sports?

42
00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:04,680
Why are or aren't water sports popular in your country?

43
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:13,900
Did you like to play in the water as a child?

44
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:22,770
Let's now move forward and talk about technology.

45
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:29,600
Do you use any gadgets on a regular basis?

46
00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:36,800
How often do you use the Internet?

47
00:04:42,420 --> 00:04:46,680
Have you ever taken a course to improve your technology skills?

48
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:52,600
Okay.

49
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:55,490
We're now going to move forward with part two.

50
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,590
You can now uncover your screen for part two because you need to see the topic card.

51
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,720
You'll be given one minute to review the topic card and take notes.

52
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,590
Afterwards, you'll have 2 minutes to deliver your response.

53
00:05:09,890 --> 00:05:10,910
Let's begin.

54
00:05:15,750 --> 00:05:21,480
Describe a time you started using a new technological device.

55
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:28,320
Please say what device you started using while you started using this device.

56
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:36,330
How easy or difficult it was to use and how helpful this device was to you.

57
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,540
You have one minute to prepare.

58
00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:43,250
Please stop.

59
00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:47,090
You now have 2 minutes to deliver your response.

60
00:06:47,690 --> 00:06:50,270
You may begin speaking now.

61
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,930
Please stop.

62
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,120
Your 2 minutes are up.

63
00:08:55,690 --> 00:08:58,420
We're now going to move forward with part three.

64
00:09:01,620 --> 00:09:05,550
So now cover your screen again so that you cannot see the questions.

65
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:07,350
I will ask a question.

66
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:10,470
Pause for 5 seconds before asking the next question.

67
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:17,910
You need to make sure that you press the spacebar to pause, immediately deliver your response, and

68
00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:22,110
then when you finish, press the spacebar again so you can hear the next question.

69
00:09:22,260 --> 00:09:23,280
Let's begin.

70
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:30,860
So I have some follow up questions for you about technology.

71
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:38,420
First, what modern technological devices are most common in your country?

72
00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:43,810
Now.

73
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,830
Do you think that people rely too much on technology?

74
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,130
Next.

75
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,410
Does technology help workers or make their lives more difficult?

76
00:10:03,820 --> 00:10:10,780
Finally, how will technology change our lives 10 to 20 years from now?

77
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:17,710
All right.

78
00:10:17,710 --> 00:10:21,880
So I hope that you did a great job on your self practice test.

79
00:10:22,450 --> 00:10:25,330
Make sure that you listen to the recording of yourself.

80
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:31,440
Do your self assessment, upload your recording into the otter program.

81
00:10:31,450 --> 00:10:34,510
There's the website right there for the outer website.

82
00:10:34,540 --> 00:10:34,870
Outer.

83
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:41,830
I make sure you examine your grammar and your lexical ability by looking at the auto transcription.

84
00:10:42,370 --> 00:10:44,260
It's also a great idea.

85
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:51,730
Once you have structured a structured and put your transcription into the right order, you can also

86
00:10:51,730 --> 00:10:57,190
upload it into the Grammarly program and have that check your grammar and lexical ability that you were

87
00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:57,880
using.

88
00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:04,030
Also, Otter is great for being able to look at your pronunciation, but really look and see if you're

89
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:10,180
hitting what what box are you sitting in on each part of that rubric?

90
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:17,950
Make sure that you're keeping comments on your performance in each of these four areas so that you can

91
00:11:17,950 --> 00:11:19,450
track your improvement.

92
00:11:20,620 --> 00:11:23,740
Also review the band's brand descriptors.

93
00:11:24,460 --> 00:11:28,570
If you want that nine score, look and see what you need for a nine.

94
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,110
Thank you so much for joining me for this practice test.

95
00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:37,290
I look forward to seeing you in the next test.
