  33. So it depends.2:45
  34. If you're traveling, you'd want a much bigger bag that's able to fit.2:46
  35. Not just you, but all of your family's stuff as well.2:50
  36. So everything, women like all kinds of bags.2:53
  37. That's why we have so many of them.2:56
  38. Now, let's talk about birthdays.2:58
  39. What did you usually do on your birthday when you were a child?3:01
  40. So when I was a kid, when I was a child in school, we had a uniform.3:05
  41. Everybody wore a uniform to school.3:11
  42. So when it was your birthday, it was the one day of the year that you were allowed to wear whatever you wanted.3:13
  43. So it was a big deal.3:19
  44. I mean, at least I would pick out my outfit like two months in advance.3:21
  45. It would be like a little dress, like a princessy frock, matching shoes, matching accessories for your hair.3:25
  46. And then you would take some kind of chocolate or candy to school.3:32
  47. And then you could take like a period off and go and give the candy out to other teachers and other kids in the school.3:37
  48. And we looked forward to it every year.3:45
  49. It was the highlight to get to not have to wear the uniform, to wear whatever you wanted and to basically be able to skip class and go out and3:47
  50. hand out chocolates because it's your birthday.3:57
  51. How do you normally celebrate your birthday now?3:59
  52. Very differently.4:03
  53. Everyone's allowed to wear whatever they want now, so it's kind of not does not have the same charm.4:04
  54. It depends.4:10
  55. I like to do a little dinner with my friends, something low key.4:11
  56. I'm not a very big party person.4:17
  57. So dinner is usually good, followed by probably like a games night or a movie movie night at home or at the cinema, something low key.4:21
  58. Do you think it's important to give someone a card on their birthday?4:31
  59. Like a handwritten birthday card?4:35
  60. I think so, yes, because I'm quite sentimental.4:40
  61. And emotional, so I prefer more emotional, sentimental gifts.4:45
  62. So I think if someone takes the time to write something by hand for you, I think that I mean, I hold on to stuff like that.4:51
  63. So I think it's a very nice, thoughtful present to give someone on their birthday.5:00
  64. The first time I met a new friend, so I'm going to go way back.5:06
  65. It was my first day of school, kindergarten.5:09
  66. And I met a girl named Amanpreet Kaur.5:13
  67. She, we were about, I think we just turned four years old.5:17
  68. We met, obviously, in kindergarten, first day of school.5:22
  69. What I liked about her when I first saw her, I mean, we were sitting together with the teacher made us sit next to each other.5:29
  70. And she had this long hair and it was like sectioned into two parts and it was just braided all the way down.5:36
  71. And she had the cutest face I've ever seen.5:46
  72. She had this little fluffy marshmallow like face.5:49
  73. I guess that's all it takes when you're a kid to want to be friends with somebody.5:53
  74. And then I tried to, so there's like this little thing that kids do where they put their thumb out to show other kids that I want to be your5:58
  75. friend.6:07
  76. And then if you don't want to be friends with them, you do this.6:09
  77. It's like a silly little thing.6:11
  78. So I did this to her.6:13
  79. I put my thumb out to say, hey, do you want to be friends?6:15
  80. And she was like this and I was heartbroken.6:18
  81. I was like, how can she know who want to be my friend?6:22
  82. And then I saw her again the next day and the day the next day after that and the day after that.6:27
  83. And then eventually we ended up becoming best friends.6:33
  84. She did it back to me, obviously, at some point.6:37
  85. She was my first best friend that I ever had in life.6:39
  86. She was from Punjab, which is a part of India.6:44
  87. And her mom used to make the most amazing.6:49
  88. It's called paratha.6:52
  89. It's like this stuffed bread.6:54
  90. It's like they put potato and spices into like into a flat bread.6:57
  91. And my mom used to make something called sira, which is sweet, Samadlina situation.7:03
  92. That's the end of the two minutes.7:10
  93. OK, we've been talking about a friend that you met.7:12
  94. And we're going to now talk about friends at school.7:16
  95. How important is it for children to have lots of friends at school?7:20
  96. To thank you for watching this video, I want to give you a free course that has helped thousands of students improve their IELTS speaking score.7:24
  97. What it's going to do is take you through every single part of the test and give you strategies for part one, part two and part three and also allow7:32
  98. you to practice at home for free and get feedback.7:41
  99. To sign up for that for free, all you have to do is just click the link in the description.7:45
  100. Thanks very much.7:49
  101. And let's get back to the video.7:50
  102. It depends, I would say.7:52
  103. I would perhaps think that quality is more important than quantity.7:54
  104. So I wouldn't say that the objective should be to make as many friends as you can or to be popular as much as the objective should be to build7:59
  105. meaningful friendships with people.8:10
  106. That could be one person that could be five people, that could be ten people.8:12
  107. Situational, I would say.8:17
  108. Yeah, so it's not so much how many friends you have as it's not as important to have a lot of friends as it might be to have people that8:19
  109. you can trust, that you can kind of take with you in life for a longer term.8:32
  110. Do you think it is wrong for parents to choose which friends their children have?8:38
  111. Again, that's a tricky one.8:43
  112. Now, when I answer these questions, I'm thinking back to real life situations.8:47
  113. And in some cases, I have seen parents interfering and trying to make those decisions for their children where they were right to do so because the child was in8:53
  114. bad company and they were too naive or too...9:05
  115. I mean, I guess they were just too naive to see that that situation was not right for them, but their parent obviously was able to identify that my child's9:12
  116. in bad company.9:21
  117. So in those cases, I would say that your parents are able to read a dangerous situation better.9:22
  118. But there's also the flip side where everybody kind of does make bad decisions.9:28
  119. Your parents made bad decisions, you made bad decisions.9:35
  120. And the way that you learn from them is to have a negative experience and then find your way out of it.9:37
  121. So I would say that I can see certain situations, whether it's bad relationships, bad friendships, when you're younger, not relationships when you're younger, friendships when you're younger.9:46
  122. Sometimes it's necessary to have that experience so that you know firsthand how to deal with that situation.9:58
  123. And you may not be able to get that experience if your parents always shield you from every single thing that can go wrong.10:06
  124. So I can kind of see...10:13
  125. Depends on the situation, I would say.10:16
  126. Now let's talk about making new friends.10:18
  127. Can you think of any disadvantages of making new friends online?10:21
  128. Disadvantages of making new friends online?10:25
  129. I think there's more disadvantages to making new friends.10:27
  130. I mean, there was a show recently that came out on Netflix called Tender Swindler.10:33
  131. The thing is with most of what we see online isn't real, whether it's social media or even news for that matter.10:38
  132. Everything is kind of edited and monitored to present a certain kind of image.10:49
  133. So if you meet somebody online and you know nothing about them, they can really present any version of reality or a completely curated, sometimes dishonest form of their reality10:56
  134. to you.11:14
  135. So it's a very dangerous game to play.11:16
  136. Friendships or relationships?11:19
  137. Both.11:21
  138. Friendships.11:22
  139. Friendships.11:23
  140. Yeah, it's...11:24
  141. Somebody you know nothing about is a very...11:27
  142. Everything can go wrong there, right?11:29
  143. Would you say it is harder for people to make new friends as they get older?11:33
  144. Yes.11:38
  145. I think it becomes harder for people to make friends as they get older.11:39
  146. I think adults are perhaps a little bit more structured.11:46
  147. I mean, the older that you get, the more set you get in your ways, your routine, where you work, your family, your gym.11:55
  148. Children, for children it becomes...12:04
  149. Like if you put two kids in a room and three seconds they're talking to each other, without any restrictions, they're talking about all of their family secrets and everything,12:08
  150. you know, they're comfortable.12:16
  151. But with adults, obviously, people tend to be more filtered when they interact with other adults.12:18
  152. Also, I think if you've been friends from the time that you were a child with somebody, you've lived through so many life events together that that kind of bond12:27
  153. is hard to build with someone that you meet in your mid -30s, because you've just lost so much time that you're learning something, you're learning about them from scratch,12:36
  154. where they went to school, about their family, about their relationships, about their siblings.12:47
  155. So, yeah, I think it's a...12:53
  156. It's not impossible.12:55
  157. You can make a lot of incredible friendships later in life, but it's probably harder to come by than if you were a kid in play school.12:56
  158. So, what I'm going to do now is give you feedback on each part, because each part is a little bit different.13:07
  159. Give you some tips on how to perform as well or even better next time.13:13
  160. And then there are four marking criteria, fluency and coherence, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary.13:20
  161. And I will give you a band for each of those and tell you what band.13:28
  162. The top is band nine.13:33
  163. So, let's see if you can get right at the top.13:35
  164. So, thank you for making it this far in the video.13:37
  165. I want to give you 10 % off our VIP course.13:40

  173. Hope that you become a VIP.14:18
  174. If not, enjoy the rest of this free video.14:19
  175. So, part one is just normal, everyday questions, and you answer those very, very naturally.14:22
  176. Again, it was like talking to a friend or a colleague, and the length of your answers was also quite good.14:29
  177. This is not a criticism, and it's just kind of who you are as a person.14:34
  178. You're a very friendly, chatty person who wants the other person to interact.14:39
  179. So, you're offered like girls like buying bags, right?14:43
  180. That is fine in normal conversation.14:46
  181. If you were to do the test for real, the examiner could be quite stone faced, because they're doing their job.14:48
  182. They're not being unfriendly.14:54
  183. They just have a job to do, and they're trying to think about your grammar, and your vocabulary, and your pronunciation, and your fluency, and there's a lot going on14:56
  184. there.15:03
  185. And for them, they cannot start to interact with you.15:03
  186. And on test day, you might not get a very friendly examiner like me.15:08
  187. I don't know whether I was friendly or not.15:14
  188. But they might be like, you know, don't do that.15:16
  189. Or some of them could be having a bad day, and they just don't ask questions.15:19
  190. I have experienced with, not myself, but other students have said, when they did that, they thought the examiner was criticizing them or being rude.15:25
  191. They took that to heart and thought, oh my God, I failed my test.15:35
  192. And they went from doing very, very well to everything fell apart.15:39
  193. Because if you feel nervous, if you're uncomfortable with someone, then it really affects your fluency.15:44
  194. You can clam up.15:50
  195. You don't want to really show your language and who you are.15:51
  196. You don't want to, because one of the great advantages or great strength that you have is you're very open about who you are as a person.15:55
  197. And that's great because it allows you to speak in a very fluent way.16:07
  198. If you go and do the test for real, probably don't interact with the examiner as much.16:11
  199. Part two, you did a great job because you just picked a real event, a real person from your life.16:17
  200. And it's much easier to talk about that.16:22
  201. Some students try to pick something high level or impressive to impress the examiner.16:24
  202. There's no such thing.16:30
  203. The best thing to do is pick something from your real life because that's easy to talk about.16:32
  204. Part three, you did very, very well because you really extended your answers.16:36
  205. Again, you use real situations from your own life.16:41
  206. You don't have to do that, but it really did help you develop your answers.16:44
  207. In terms of the scores, pronunciation is pretty much perfect.16:48
  208. The examiner will be thinking about, can I understand every word this person is saying?16:52
  209. 100%, I can understand every syllable.16:58
  210. Then the examiner will be thinking about high level pronunciation features, such as your intonation.17:00
  211. So our voices go up, our voices go down.17:06
  212. You speak like a native English speaker in that respect.17:08
  213. Sentence stress is when we emphasize certain words.17:12
  214. This is my phone, not your phone.17:16
  215. So you emphasize certain words at times.17:18
  216. Again, you do that 100 % naturally.17:20
  217. And then you use connected speech.17:23
  218. The way native English speakers talk, we wouldn't say, I want to talk about my friend.17:25
  219. You'd say, I want to talk about my friend.17:31
  220. The flow of the language.17:33
  221. So absolutely perfect.17:34
  222. No problems there.17:36
  223. Coherence and fluency, coherence is did you answer the questions?17:37
  224. Did you develop them enough?17:40
  225. You did that 100 % of the time.17:42
  226. And then fluency is did you speak without any unnatural pausing?17:44
  227. You did pause at times.17:49
  228. But the reason why you paused is important.17:52
  229. So in the last, I think it was the second last question, you were talking about adults and you were saying their lives are more structured.17:55
  230. So you weren't trying to think of the correct vocabulary because your English isn't good enough.18:03
  231. You were trying to just formulate your thoughts and come up with the appropriate, precise word, which you did.18:09
  232. So that demonstrates to the examiner that you have a very high level of vocabulary.18:15
  233. Because if you were, because you're trying to think of the current, what's the word?18:19
  234. So when people don't really know the language, then they would stop.18:24
  235. And also because you approach this not as a test, but more as a conversation.18:28
  236. And you are very open and talk about your life in a very open way.18:33
  237. That really helps with fluency.18:38
  238. So again, top marks for fluency and coherence.18:40
  239. Grammar, I didn't hear a single grammar mistake.18:44
  240. The examiner will be thinking about the accuracy of your grammar.18:46
  241. Did you make any mistakes and the range of your grammar?18:50
  242. So if I talk to you about a birthday party in the past, did you use the appropriate past tenses?18:52
  243. And then I asked you about, well, what do you do today?18:58
  244. Did you switch tenses?19:00
  245. Did you use the appropriate grammatical structures and tenses to talk about each situation?19:02
  246. And again, you did that perfectly.19:07
  247. Vocabulary, very natural.19:10
  248. You use a nice mixture of just normal everyday words, which everybody uses.19:12
  249. And you also use idiomatic language very, very well.19:18
  250. So as you can see, you're using very natural English.19:21
  251. And overall, you would get a perfect bad line, which is very rare.19:25
  252. Oh, wow.19:31
  253. Very, very rare.19:31
  254. Okay.19:33
  255. So, well done.19:34
  256. Thank you.19:35
