Hello, everyone.
This is an aisle speaking simulation.
This is self practice test ten.
Here are the instructions for your self practice test.
You're doing a self assessment, so you're going to take the full practice test parts one, two and
three, and then you're going to do a self assessment to check on your progress so that you can get
the score that you want.
Just a couple of things to highlight.
Please make sure that you are recording your self practice test.
You want to record yourself, so you want to use the utter application.
They have a phone application and PC version.
But while you're taking this sale practice test record yourself, it's a great tool for doing your own
self assessment.
Remember, in parts one and three, I'm going to ask the question then pause for 5 seconds before asking
the next question.
You want to pause the video after you hear the question, then deliver your great response.
Press the spacebar so you can start the video again and hear the next question.
Part two is the only part where you get to look at the screen.
Now, as you know, each speaking test is different.
Ask different questions.
Simulate the real exam.
Don't cheat yourself.
Do your best.
Let's get started.
Part one.
Go ahead and cover your screen right now so that you cannot see the questions.
I'm going to ask the question.
Pause and then ask the next question.
After I ask the question, please stop the video.
Deliver your response.
Then press the spacebar and start it again so you can hear the next question.
Be realistic.
Simulate the test.
Let's begin.
So could you please tell me your name?
Do parents in your country often name a child after the parent?
Where are you from?
How has your country changed over the past 20 years?
Let's move on and talk about your work.
Could you please describe your first day on the job?
How long have you been doing that job?
Can you describe your typical working day?
How important are your colleagues to your work?
Let's now talk about concentration.
What do you need to concentrate on the most?
When is concentrating difficult for you?
Is it easy for you to do two or more things at the same time?
Let's now talk about running.
Did you have to run during sport activities in school?
Are there any good places to run close to where you currently live?
Would you choose to watch important running races on TV?
I'm going to now ask you a few questions about borrowing.
Do you mind if someone asks to borrow something from you?
Do you think it's okay to borrow money from friends?
Would you let someone borrow your mobile phone?
We're going to now move on to part two.
Now you can uncover your screen because you need to look at the topic card on the screen.
Part two is the only part where you get to see the question.
I'm going to give you one minute to review the topic card and take notes.
Afterwards, you'll be given a full 2 minutes to give your response.
Let's begin.
Let's talk about a person who wears unusual clothes.
Please say who the person is.
How you know this person, what kind of clothes he or she wears.
Explain why you think his or her clothes are unusual.
You have one minute to prepare.
Please stop.
Stop right now.
You now have 2 minutes to deliver your response.
You may begin speaking now.
Okay.
Please stop.
Your 2 minutes are up.
We're now going to move on to part three.
Part three.
Now cover your screen again so that you cannot see the questions so you can simulate the real exam.
As with part one, I'm going to ask the question pause for 5 seconds and then ask the next question.
You must press the spacebar and pause the video after I ask each question so you can give your awesome
answer.
Once you finish answering, press the spacebar again so that you can hear the next question.
Let's begin.
So I have some follow up questions for you about clothes.
What clothes do people normally wear in your country?
Do young people wear the same fashion as old people?
Why do you think some people prefer comfortable clothes to fashionable clothes?
Do people in your country buy clothes online?
Okay.
And that will conclude your self practice ten.
Now it's time for you to go ahead and do your own self assessment.
By now, after doing ten self practice tests, I know you feel a lot more comfortable with this exam.
You know exactly what to expect in part one, part two, and part three.
Listen to your recording of your self test.
Do your assessment according to the rubric.
If you're working with a study partner, that's great because then you have somebody that can listen
to you and assess what you're doing according to the rubric.
And you can listen to them and you can really help each other to get ready for this exam.
Use the otter website so you can get your own transcription.
It's also a great idea.
After you organize the transcription properly to go ahead and put that into the Grammarly website so
we can look at your grammar and your lexical ability.
Also, with the honor website, you can sort of get an idea of your pronunciation because if it is transcribing
all of your words correctly, then you're going, you can you can really say your pronunciation is on
point.
It's a great idea to have a self assessment table by now.
You should have ten of these now or nine going on ten self assessment tables.
You should be able to look at your self assessment from practice test one and really see how you have
progressed and improved over time.
It's a great idea always to keep looking at the rubric.
Most of you want to score an eight or nine in the speaking, so look at what it says for each part of
the rubric.
If there's something in the rubric that you're not clear on and you want me to explain a little bit
better, go ahead and ask a question and I'll be happy to answer that question to explain some part
of the rubric that you want to know more about.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Is great having you in this class.
I'll see you in the next practice test.
