WEBVTT

00:01.420 --> 00:08.220
OK so now I'm going to go over with you a little bit more about speaking question about the speaking

00:08.220 --> 00:17.500
part too and do a few examples for you and talk to you about notetaking because a lot of students don't

00:17.540 --> 00:24.020
I don't understand the value of notetaking when you're able to take notes in a really when able to take

00:24.090 --> 00:26.680
notes in a really organized fashion.

00:26.790 --> 00:34.110
It really really really helps you to be able to speak fluently clearly and without any kind of pausing

00:34.110 --> 00:35.320
and hesitation.

00:35.580 --> 00:39.050
And that's what you have to do in order to be able to score very well.

00:39.060 --> 00:40.720
You have to do it that way.

00:41.040 --> 00:42.360
There's no other way around it.

00:42.360 --> 00:43.680
There's no shortcut.

00:43.680 --> 00:46.170
You have to do it that way.

00:46.170 --> 00:46.470
All right.

00:46.470 --> 00:55.800
So when it comes to part number two as we know in this part with part number two you're going to be

00:55.800 --> 00:59.000
given some some questions right.

00:59.040 --> 01:05.580
Atopic Karger cue card like the call it sometimes and on that cue card you're going to have several

01:05.580 --> 01:07.690
questions that you have to answer.

01:07.800 --> 01:14.010
It's like one main question and then about three or four parts to the main question you have the answer.

01:14.100 --> 01:20.100
You always are going to have like one minute to prepare to prepare your answer and then you have to

01:20.100 --> 01:22.550
speak for up to two minutes.

01:22.550 --> 01:26.160
Now some people ask me what do I have to speak for the for two minutes.

01:26.580 --> 01:27.080
Yeah.

01:27.150 --> 01:28.680
You you should try to.

01:28.950 --> 01:32.430
You should try the in between 145 and two minutes.

01:32.550 --> 01:35.160
That's what you should be trying to do.

01:35.160 --> 01:40.430
If there's something in the question you don't understand you can't and you can't ask the greater What

01:40.430 --> 01:44.260
is his word mean you cannot do that in part number two guy.

01:44.430 --> 01:48.690
You can't do that and more importantly if you have to do that you're going to agree he's going to go

01:48.690 --> 01:54.040
way down because you're showing that you don't have vocabulary that you can't understand a basic question.

01:54.320 --> 01:54.930
OK.

01:55.110 --> 02:00.600
So you have to do you can't you can't ask questions so that's why it's important for you to really spend

02:00.600 --> 02:06.030
a lot of time practicing reading through all the parts questions questions so that all the vocabulary

02:06.030 --> 02:13.770
of work and of all the vocabulary is very very relevant to you and also understandable to you.

02:14.040 --> 02:19.740
So that while you don't have any issues on the real exam you want to make sure that when you're doing

02:19.740 --> 02:22.710
part 2 you speak in complete sentences.

02:22.770 --> 02:30.330
Don't speak in half sentences or fragmented sentences speaking complete sentences take notes.

02:30.330 --> 02:31.810
Speak from your notes.

02:31.950 --> 02:33.500
Use a variety of sentences.

02:33.500 --> 02:34.270
OK.

02:34.600 --> 02:37.590
All right so let's take let's take a couple of examples.

02:37.590 --> 02:43.350
When I take notes when I'm looking at a question and I take notes like this as I said this is an example

02:43.350 --> 02:45.570
of a part two question here.

02:45.570 --> 02:49.850
Describe your first mobile phone please say how old you were when you got it.

02:49.890 --> 02:51.730
When and why did you buy it.

02:51.750 --> 02:54.550
How did you feel when you first got it.

02:54.780 --> 02:55.450
OK.

02:55.590 --> 03:02.580
So when we're looking at this question where we're looking at this question for four part number two

03:03.150 --> 03:10.740
what we have to do is we have to be able to we have to be able to answer these questions and what I

03:10.740 --> 03:19.320
do is I create a box create a box with which you see right here and the first part of the box commands.

03:19.320 --> 03:22.770
I'm describing my mobile phone right.

03:22.950 --> 03:28.840
And then in the second part of the box I'm describing how old I was when I got it.

03:29.170 --> 03:32.200
Having a third part of the box.

03:32.760 --> 03:35.150
When and why did you buy it.

03:35.640 --> 03:36.540
OK.

03:36.780 --> 03:40.430
And in the fourth part of the box I'm describing how I feel.

03:40.470 --> 03:42.890
So this is what you're doing within one minute.

03:43.110 --> 03:43.860
OK.

03:43.860 --> 03:46.750
You're writing these different this information down in boxes.

03:46.770 --> 03:48.490
What I get as much as you can.

03:48.750 --> 03:52.510
I have four boxes because most of the time there can be four parts.

03:52.650 --> 03:56.760
OK there are four parts in each box represents one of these questions.

03:56.760 --> 04:01.440
First I have to describe the phone that I have to talk about all I was when I got it.

04:01.460 --> 04:03.550
Then I thought well when and why did I buy it.

04:03.570 --> 04:08.970
And then I thought about how did I feel safe for parts you see that I've addressed all four parts I

04:08.970 --> 04:12.510
get as much as you can in those four parts.

04:12.810 --> 04:13.710
OK.

04:13.770 --> 04:14.060
All right.

04:14.060 --> 04:20.850
So what I'm gonna do now is the one to speak and kind of show you how to really answer the question.

04:20.850 --> 04:25.740
I want you to really listen for the quality of the sentences that I use.

04:26.160 --> 04:34.110
You're going to see me you don't hear me use compound complex sentences and that's something that can

04:34.110 --> 04:35.590
really help your grade.

04:35.730 --> 04:36.710
OK.

04:37.200 --> 04:44.010
So listen carefully and listen now from a fluency goal here and things of that nature.

04:44.210 --> 04:52.200
Then I will go ahead and begin giving my response right now

04:55.110 --> 05:00.010
although I have had many phones during my lifetime.

05:00.030 --> 05:06.660
I would definitely say that I remember the very first mobile phone that I acquired.

05:07.020 --> 05:12.750
It was a Nokia 450 which is a flip phone of a very old design.

05:12.750 --> 05:19.050
This fall is very funny when I think about it now because back then I was only able to only able to

05:19.050 --> 05:27.630
text on the Nokia 450 since there was no ability to take photos or have music on as little simple flip

05:27.630 --> 05:29.190
phone.

05:29.210 --> 05:37.470
I definitely remember that I was a teenager of about 14 years of age and in my neighborhood I was one

05:37.470 --> 05:41.730
of the youngest people to ever get a cell phone.

05:41.730 --> 05:46.700
My father ended up buying the cell phone for me for my birthday earlier that year.

05:46.710 --> 05:54.520
He had told me that if I get very good grades in school that he would buy me a cell phone for my birthday.

05:54.850 --> 06:02.670
And so when my birthday came I saw a box sitting on the table and I went to the book went to go grab

06:02.670 --> 06:07.140
the box shook it a little bit and heard something moving around inside.

06:07.500 --> 06:16.080
So I tore open the box and then began crying immediately because inside that box was that little simple

06:16.290 --> 06:21.380
Nokia 450 Favia I kept this promise.

06:21.780 --> 06:29.320
I was so excited when I got this phone I was running around jumping everywhere hugging everybody.

06:29.510 --> 06:36.960
And so I decided that I would immediately run outside and show all my friends my brand new Nokia 450

06:36.960 --> 06:37.950
phone.

06:38.010 --> 06:46.800
They all congratulated me and we took our turns call the calling calling our homes speaking to our parents.

06:46.800 --> 06:54.990
So I definitely remember my first mobile phone the Nokia 450.

06:55.630 --> 06:56.500
OK.

06:57.140 --> 07:04.360
So that's an example of a response that you can give for part two.

07:04.540 --> 07:06.470
You should sound like that.

07:06.560 --> 07:14.840
It was very easy for me to do because I had my material prepared in my boxes had I this one for I talked

07:14.840 --> 07:21.350
about the information in box one that I moved on and I talked about the information inbox to shift it

07:21.350 --> 07:27.750
talked about the information inbox three shifted talked about information inbox for wrapped it up.

07:28.070 --> 07:28.480
OK.

07:28.490 --> 07:35.600
When you heard me speaking if you go back and play it again here I started out with a complex sentence

07:35.600 --> 07:42.080
with although you heard me use which you make and create some adjective clauses and compound sentences.

07:42.080 --> 07:42.450
Right.

07:42.500 --> 07:48.440
That's what's going to help you to be able to get a really really good score for part number two.

07:48.530 --> 07:49.870
Doing it this way.

07:49.870 --> 07:52.200
Doing it in this design.

07:52.930 --> 07:53.460
OK.

07:55.520 --> 07:58.320
You have to do another one.

07:58.490 --> 08:01.130
You want me to do one more.

08:01.150 --> 08:02.290
All right.

08:02.300 --> 08:05.920
Here is a nother example.

08:05.990 --> 08:14.150
Here's another example of a part you question and it talks about describe a paid work you or your friend

08:14.150 --> 08:20.280
had done you should say when you did that where and how long you did it why was work important.

08:20.630 --> 08:28.130
Here's part number one describing the work that me and my friend did part number two I'm describing

08:28.130 --> 08:34.520
when I did it part number three where and how long we did it part number four Why was it important to

08:34.520 --> 08:35.350
us.

08:35.420 --> 08:35.960
Right.

08:36.140 --> 08:38.250
So I have my four boxes.

08:38.600 --> 08:46.160
And when I began speaking for my four boxes you will be able to see that we're able to just follow from

08:46.160 --> 08:51.050
box to box creating sentences from the information that we have here.

08:51.170 --> 08:53.350
That's what you have to be able to do very well.

08:53.360 --> 08:57.910
You have to be able to create sentences from the information that you're given.

08:58.220 --> 08:59.190
OK.

08:59.780 --> 09:00.200
So

09:03.340 --> 09:11.660
now I'm going to set the clock on two minutes and try to give you a very good clean response that you

09:11.660 --> 09:17.480
can model yourself after and be able to get there really really high score

09:24.600 --> 09:31.630
I definitely recall my friend Kevin and I really doing a great job when we were young.

09:32.220 --> 09:40.020
For some neighbors in our neighborhood actually the work that we perform I would probably classify as

09:40.020 --> 09:44.510
lawn work if you don't know what that means when I say lawn work.

09:44.700 --> 09:51.750
It's actually where you go around mowing the grass and cutting the shrubs which are small trees and

09:51.750 --> 09:55.830
just taking care of flower beds and things like that around the homes of people.

09:56.310 --> 10:01.190
We also did a little tree cutting which was a lot of fun back then.

10:01.500 --> 10:07.920
We did this work in the summer of 2014 during the very very hot month of June.

10:08.130 --> 10:14.790
We were sweating so so what we were doing this outside work but we did it almost every day that summer

10:15.510 --> 10:22.020
because we were so proud and happy to have jobs that we got money for.

10:22.020 --> 10:28.970
We primarily performed our services in the neighborhood where we lived on the west side of Detroit.

10:29.130 --> 10:35.700
We would go around to several houses in the neighborhood and leave our information with a note or a

10:35.700 --> 10:42.510
letter or knock on the door and ask people if they wanted our help in regards to taking care of their

10:42.510 --> 10:44.310
lawn services.

10:44.310 --> 10:50.250
We did this for about two months during the summer and we are two months before we had to start back

10:50.250 --> 10:51.090
in school.

10:51.230 --> 10:54.590
And so we decided to use those two months to do this work.

10:55.200 --> 11:01.700
I'll never forget how significant it was for us to have those jobs because we earned our own money.

11:01.870 --> 11:04.530
Then when it came time to return to school.

11:04.530 --> 11:11.490
We saved up so much money that we were able to buy our clothes buy our school supplies and everybody

11:11.490 --> 11:17.420
just was surprised by how well we looked at the start of the school year because of those jobs.

11:17.430 --> 11:20.540
So that's the job my friend and I had done.

11:20.670 --> 11:28.080
Thank you.

11:28.530 --> 11:28.980
OK.

11:29.040 --> 11:33.550
So that's another example of a Part 2 question.

11:34.110 --> 11:34.880
OK.

11:35.130 --> 11:36.680
And that's how you want to be able to respond.

11:36.690 --> 11:39.430
Get through it all get through everything.

11:39.690 --> 11:40.320
OK.

11:40.560 --> 11:44.340
So thank you so much for participating.

11:44.820 --> 11:47.600
And and now we're going to move on.

11:47.670 --> 11:48.790
Talk to you soon.
