can you believe every single year three
million people sit the IELTS exam we've
come to the birthplace of where it all
began for the IELTS exam to see where
the native English speakers can pass
this test without any preparation and in
this video we're going to focus on part
2 of the IELTS speaking exam let's go
these video we've teamed up with a
language learning app called cambly
because we think they provide a really
great and innovative way for you to turn
down time which is time where you're not
active you're not working into
productive speaking practice imagine one
day you are just sitting in the park
admiring the Queen's lovely swans but
you don't have anyone to talk to and you
want to practice your English one thing
you can do is get this app onto your
mobile telephone and all you need is
connection to the Internet and you can
connect with native English teachers
from all over the english-speaking world
at the click of a button so this app is
brilliant for people who are really busy
it's available 24/7 and it means that
you don't have to plan your lessons
ahead of time so if you want to give

10% discount so enjoy that and let's get
back to Cambridge
[Music]
now we'd save what kind of book it is
what it's about and what sort of people
would enjoy and explain why you like to
read books I don't read them okay if you
don't have knowledge about something
feel free to just make it up
IELTS is an English exam not a
personality test and you'll never be
marked down for lying so let's give this
guy another go and see what he can come
up with I have a time of day are you
like well usually a time of day is it
mornings
love the mornings yeah when the Sunday
I'm not one for getting up at the crack
of dawn
although when I'm up at that time I
always enjoy once you're up in a bell
you know I won't say when the dawn comes
up in the last point
but there's something different about
especially in our sunny mornings the
morning and the afternoon there's a
totally difference the way the light
shines if you know what I mean sunset
matters are lovely but there's a
different feel to about the mornings so
excluding his first attempt let's give
him some feedback as if it was an IELTS
response to start with he could have
spoken for longer
in fact almost twice the length he
didn't use many tenses he had a lot of
hesitations although he did have some
nice colloquial use of English with some
idiomatic language like I'm not one for
getting up at the crack of dawn or if
you know what I mean and he's even used
some linking expressions like although
when I'm up or sunset and that is all
lovely but so he's used some good
language but he didn't fully accomplish
the task and he didn't cover all of the
task card points furthermore his speech
was a little disorganized so we're
giving him a score of 7.5 thus if we can
find some better answers for you
elsewhere way to describe an exercise
you know again just talk a bit about it
an exercise yes squats squats or an
exercise you lower yourself with your
knees and you you will you bend down
if you squat really yeah I can
good good technique so a time you can't
do that in the exam
a member of your family who get on well
with relationship different question
okay no any member any member your
family um you know to what your
relationship yeah I really get on with
with with with my cousin Emma um me and
her have been visiting Spain for a long
time and she does a lot of arty stuff
and it's
we share as a birthday within well
within two days of each other so I have
my birthday than she has hers so we're
kind of birthday twins amongst all the
cousins and yes we get on very well and
whenever we meet up we just we have a
really nice time it was really nice
spending time with her there we go so
tom was consistently accurate in his use
of grammar he varied his tense form
nicely by using perfect continuous and
simple structures he also managed to
include some natural phrasal verbs and
colloquial language he did repeat
himself a little bit hesitated and again
his speech was partially disorganized
but will give him a solid eight point
zero let's keep searching for an even
better model answer for you right so I
want to describe a piece of art that you
like okay and maybe maybe tricky and say
what the work of art is when you first
saw it what you know about it
yeah Worsley would be a bad horse
Hyperion it was in the night 1720 1736
when when he was being raised and they
drew it now they've made a sculpture of
it and it's a new market and everybody
sees it down the high street outside the
jockey club
whenever they go down there and so
everybody usually goes down the I
support not taking outside of it that
was a sculpture of Hyperion and why do
you like you say I've worked in a log
work amazing image as amazing as if it's
sculpted it and it does look like I
period in those days you know you win a
lot of races and so that's why I
desculpe today hold on to your hats
ladies and gentlemen see Nutter has
jockey his way to the front of the pack
with the use of complex structures less
common vocabulary and yet again the odd
colloquialism he has managed to ensure
that both Tom and the old bloke eat his
dust you may have noticed that he
self-corrected which isn't a bad thing
in the IELTS exam as long as it's not
too often so we give the jockey an 8.5
now we could only find some bleep who
knows what the IELTS test
[Music]
to describe a book you have recently
read and you should say what kind of
book it is what it's about what sort of
people would really enjoy it and explain
why you liked it I've really picked up a
book about teaching English in the
classroom so this book explains all the
approaches and methods that any teacher
needs to know in order to teach English
effectively it would be appropriate for
anyone who's either been teaching for a
while or wants to take up teaching in
the future as a profession because it
covers everything comprehensively so you
can look at all the techniques that you
need you can choose which are for you
and which won't really suit your style
and of course it would be great I think
anyone would enjoy it who is looking to
build on their career and to expand on
their own development as a teacher in
terms of why I enjoyed it I really like
the details but also many specific
examples that this book gave so overall
I would certainly recommend it it was a
great read cover to cover all right stop
the show boys and girls we have a clear
winner let's take a second to show you
our very own IELTS replay technology he
starts off with a quick phrasal
expression I've really picked up before
you know it he's using a classic phrasal
verb or once to take up teaching in the
future then to wrap it up he uses a
cheeky but incredibly relevant idiom
cover to cover and those are just some
highlights as he uses plenty throughout
his answer you may have noticed his
grammatical accuracy using phrases like
in order to teach English effectively or
it would be or even it covers everything
comprehensively very nice and as was the
organisation of his speech using phrases
like in terms of and
overall and finally he used some
advanced vocabulary and collocations so
we are giving Chris from the YouTube
channel learn British English free full
marks with a score of 9.0 so we really
hope that you have found this video fun
and also informative if you are
preparing yourself for the IELTS
speaking exam as we can see it's
difficult even for native speakers if
they don't have the right strategy and
techniques in place to tackle these
questions they are difficult so when it
comes to your exam prepare yourself and
make sure you search for the type of
information the type of answers that the
examiners are looking for in your IELTS
responses good luck in your exam and see
you again soon for another episode
