hello everyone welcome to this new youtube series i'm so excited um remember guys these videos are
only here on youtube they're not on the podcast um so remember to like this video and subscribe
so you never miss a lesson um aubry what are we focusing on in this series ielts speaking so we
are going to be asking each other and answering ielts speaking questions providing examiner
feedback and really highlighting one section of the ielts speaking score that you can really
dive in on to make sure you understand how to get seven or higher on that score
so remember guys i was an ielts examiner for 14 years and aubry is three keys ielts
certified which means she i'm getting caught up she knows everything i do related to what
examiners need to hear to give you a seven or higher so in every video in this series guys
you will hear model speaking answers and you will find out one specific thing you can do to increase
your speaking score remember all straight from the examiner's mind um so again hit like and subscribe
right now okay so i'm gonna ask aubrey a few questions today related to work let me tell
you why this is the first video in this series because you have a 50 chance of getting asked
about your work or studies immediately on the speaking test right on the ielts speaking exam
in part one you are always asked either about your home home town right or where you live now
or work or studies it's gonna be one of those two things so definitely pay attention today guys
all right aubry are you ready yes i'm ready all right um aubry do you work or are you a
student i'm working currently i wish i were still a student i loved going to classes
and homework and text i loved all of it but unfortunately that phase of my life has passed
maybe someday but currently i'm working i really love my job i get to work with amazing students
and co-workers and it's just the best and it's super flexible which is really nice because i got
a bunch of kids so yeah thank you thank you um why did you choose the kind of work you do definitely
for the flexibility first and foremost because i can't at this juncture in my life go to an office
nine to five it's just not feasible for me so i need to be able to be there for my children
and but i also want to work so i need to be able to do something where the hours are flexible where
i can do something fulfilling and rewarding but still be able to be present for my kids
thank you okay now i'm gonna stop here because already guys we have enough
to get a very high score for fluency and coherence we have enough language that you guys can
copy that you guys can use uh in your own answers so aubry would get a very high score if now here's
the thing this is tricky right because your speaking score is based on the entire speaking
exam you don't get a score for part one and then a different score for part two the examiner has
to listen to the entire um thing and give you a score so keep that in mind guys i'm just basing
what i'm saying on these two answers but it would be a band 9 for fluency and coherence if
the speaking exam are just two questions because guys the way that aubry introduced and organized
her answers was amazing so guys take notes write these phrases down so instead of saying
now i'm a teacher whatever she said currently so that is a higher level phrase there instead of
now and here is an awesome phrase in that first answer but that phase of my life is past
so instead of saying that's over that's in the past i don't do that anymore those are all like
boring phrases right so instead to organize this time for the listener for the examiner aubrey said
but that phase of my life is past so definitely write that down word for word guys and
copy the pronunciation of how aubrey said that and then in your second answer instead of just
saying like first or number one or not using any transition phrase which a lot of students do
aubry you said first and foremost so when when supplying reasons we have to organize them first
second third so saying first and foremost is like the primary reason very high level
transition phrase and here is the last phrase i want you guys to write down at this juncture
i mean come on that's a band nine phrase right there right um aubry what does that mean at this
juncture that means the same as at this time right at this time in my life at this moment
but it's true it is less common very high level band nine to instead say at this juncture when
you just mean at this time yeah right or just like right now right now i mean i think a lot of people
would just say now that's crazy it's just now so definitely guys watch this lesson a few times and
write down these transition transition phrases you can also look at the description below the
