hello aubry we are here to start our brand new ielts speaking series on youtube i'm excited
yes this is different than anything we've ever done before usually when you get sample
answers from us we quickly give feedback and scores this is different we want to give you
an idea of what the exam really feels like where you're answering questions you're going to get
a really good idea of timing and how many questions are answered you're not going to
get feedback right away that's how it is on test day get used to not getting feedback right away
exactly so um you can look at our previous youtube series with sample answers where
every video we talk about a very specific scoring feature that you would see in those sample answers
so this time we're doing something different like aubrey said we're gonna do a four episode series
guys and today is part one and then we'll do a part two and a part three and then guys in episode
four we are going to give you the scores and why those are the scores for this complete test
so again just to reiterate like aubrey said we're going to treat this like you like a real exam
experience as much as possible okay so the person who is the examiner will say exactly what the
examiner says on test day and we're just gonna do the whole thing so you know what to expect so
today is part one guys i want to tell you right now to make sure to hit subscribe right now so
you don't miss the rest of the mock test and you don't miss those scores that are coming in
a couple weeks so today aubry is going to be the candidate i am going to be the examiner um aubry
did you know that i was an actual ielts examiner i actually have heard that before but our listeners
might not know so you guys should know jessica was an examiner for 14 years so we're able to use and
build on all of her insider examiner experience so everything you hear here you know is accurate and
appropriate for ielts exactly thank you aubry so while i am listening to aubrey's answers i
am going to be taking scoring notes guys so we can tell you all those details in episode four
all right um aubry i would like you i i would like to ask you some questions about yourself
let's talk about what you do do you work or are you a student i do work part-time for a company
called all ears english it is ideal for me because it's quite flexible and i got four kids so i can't
be you know going to an office every day so this is great for me also i have amazing co-workers
that i get to work thank you thank you um can you describe one of your typical working days
yes my day revolves a lot around my kids so i get up i get them ready for school
and then as soon as they're off i'm able to dive into my to-do list i might be teaching
a one-on-one class i might be recording a podcast with a really fun girl named jessica
i might have some other meetings so just kind of off and on throughout the day what
things do you enjoy about your work i love my co-workers they're all super fun and supportive
um i also love that i can be quite creative we're able to post on social media and i can
pick a fun idiom or slang word to make a fun video about so it's kind of the best of both
worlds to be able to be flexible and have my time be my own and quite creative as well
thank you let's move on to talk about free time what do people do in your town
in their free time i live in the desert so a lot of free time revolves around hiking
in in the you know mountains which are sort of like boulders in the middle of the desert
um it's very hot so people have to take a lot of water there are some other things to do um in the
summer especially will paddleboard on the lake or go boating lots of fun outdoor activities but also
you know indoor stuff go to the movies um where do you go for entertainment a lot of people do go to
a mall to like shop lots of um strip malls where there's a bunch of outdoor shops you can wander
around but in the summer it's way too hot to do anything like that so we stay indoor maybe we'll
play games inside we'll go to a rec center or the movies to take advantage of the air conditioning
um if you had more time what hobby would you like to try i would love to
learn to play the guitar or maybe the banjo a stringed instrument i think would be so fun
but it is very time consuming i've looked into a little bit and to take lessons also expensive
and to spend the time you need to practice is quite a commitment so i haven't tried yet
thank you um let's go on to talk about sports now what sports are most popular in your country
probably football which i don't love american football so sometimes i'm stuck watching a game
just because that's what everybody else wants to do and i really have no interest
in watching players ram into each other but also basketball baseball is a popular american pastime
and i like playing all of these sports well not football but i like playing baseball but i don't
love watching it especially on tv i find that very boring um do people exercise as much as they did
in the past i think so i think it has changed people go to the gym more or they'll have weights
or maybe a stationary bike at home whereas in the past i feel like people would just go jogging
outside or maybe go biking so i think technology has really um made us evolve the way that we
stay fit um should children be encouraged to be more active for sure absolutely i do
think kids have a tendency to just play video games all day if they're allowed
so adults parents teachers do have to be pretty proactive about getting these kids outside to be
involved in sports sign them up for some kind of activity that is forcing them to be active
thank you that is the end of part one um so that's not gonna happen on the test right if um when
you finish answering the part one questions and the examiner is timing it the whole time um the
examiner won't say thank you that's the end of part one the examiner will say thank you now in
this part i'd like to i'd like you to talk about blah blah blah um so that is the complete part one
just like you would have to do on the real exam guys and as you might have noticed i was furiously
taking notes the whole time um so do hit subscribe right now and also hit like on this video because
