WEBVTT 00:03.980 --> 00:08.500 OK so this is the speaking test for it. 00:08.800 --> 00:10.340 Hello Matt how are you doing. 00:11.350 --> 00:11.830 I'm fine. 00:11.830 --> 00:12.850 Thank you so much. 00:12.850 --> 00:13.120 Good. 00:13.120 --> 00:13.500 Good good. 00:13.500 --> 00:20.610 Before we get started do you have any questions at all about the speaking section. 00:24.170 --> 00:33.320 No I think it's clear just depends on how to apply the strategies and how to get the required patterns. 00:33.470 --> 00:40.530 So you should have an objective we should have the a quiet band and see what the descriptors for this 00:40.530 --> 00:42.370 band and try to apply it. 00:42.570 --> 00:43.360 OK. 00:43.500 --> 00:43.910 Thank you. 00:43.940 --> 00:44.470 Thank you. 00:44.620 --> 00:44.990 OK. 00:44.990 --> 00:45.650 Good good good. 00:45.650 --> 00:49.710 Have you have you taken the isle speaking test before. 00:50.780 --> 00:51.470 Yes. 00:51.680 --> 00:55.580 Once before was before and what was your score when you got when you took it. 00:56.910 --> 01:05.850 And speaking all over again No no it's just specifically and speaking and sex you had a six. 01:05.860 --> 01:06.650 OK good. 01:06.660 --> 01:07.060 Yes. 01:07.070 --> 01:16.900 And what was score are you hoping to get at least since I'm going to get a seven from five. 01:16.930 --> 01:17.900 I hope. 01:17.900 --> 01:18.310 All right. 01:18.330 --> 01:19.830 Actually seven is OK for them. 01:20.020 --> 01:21.000 OK. 01:21.170 --> 01:27.530 And what what do you think is the reason why you were not able to get a 7. 01:27.550 --> 01:33.070 What do you what do you see as the main problems or main issues as to why you think you probably did 01:33.070 --> 01:38.310 not get a 7 or 8. 01:38.360 --> 01:46.100 I think it may be that coherence and cohesion in my sentences in the last trial were the main reason 01:46.100 --> 01:55.520 for getting seven and getting sex also and not using a wide range of vocabulary and some mist and some 01:55.520 --> 01:57.060 mispronunciation words. 01:57.380 --> 01:58.960 I mispronounced it. 01:58.970 --> 02:03.180 So I think this was the reasons behind getting sex. 02:03.260 --> 02:10.730 Yes because in that sentence you just mispronounced the word pronounced. 02:11.450 --> 02:15.870 When you write well when you say pronounce it right. 02:15.910 --> 02:18.180 So the word is the word. 02:18.180 --> 02:19.880 So the word is pronounced. 02:19.970 --> 02:25.680 So you know sometimes that sounds like a D like a T and sometimes it sounds like a D. 02:25.730 --> 02:30.460 So you definitely want don't want to miss pronounce the word pronounced. 02:30.610 --> 02:31.240 Yeah. 02:31.410 --> 02:39.670 Yeah but those are some things that can get in the way when it comes to doing a speaking test. 02:39.670 --> 02:43.150 Definitely Those are some of the things that can get in the way. 02:43.550 --> 02:43.820 All right. 02:43.820 --> 02:50.600 So just in general if someone were to ask you what are what are you what are the key things that doing 02:50.600 --> 02:54.080 very well on the speaking section what are you what would you say are the key things you need to be 02:54.080 --> 02:54.580 able to do 02:58.040 --> 03:05.420 as you described in the video that we need to focus on the four parameters of the greater focus on number 03:05.420 --> 03:09.040 one in cohesion and coherence you need to believe. 03:09.200 --> 03:18.010 Is this mostly not to be flippant but to be mostly not to have many pauses or hesitations. 03:18.170 --> 03:25.250 Number two it's about the vocabulary you need to upgrade your vocabulary to another level not use very 03:25.250 --> 03:26.520 somber caps. 03:26.870 --> 03:33.080 On the other hand I'm not mean that to use very very advanced vocab like technical vocab but I mean 03:33.080 --> 03:42.120 that at a higher level vocab and show that you have a wide range of vocabulary and it looks at the resources. 03:42.560 --> 03:49.140 Number three you have to show that you are grammatically perfect not perfect and which not. 03:49.490 --> 03:52.510 Which doesn't mean that you don't have any mistake at all. 03:52.580 --> 03:58.710 Yes it's OK it's acceptable to have one or two mistakes by faith it's fight. 03:58.730 --> 04:13.380 Finally last but not least collegians were kept and and sources and the pronunciation. 04:13.410 --> 04:21.040 Of course I'm not too concerned about the accent I'm talking about pronouncing the captain right. 04:21.180 --> 04:21.790 Exactly. 04:21.790 --> 04:24.980 Since I taught it to have an accent British or American. 04:25.140 --> 04:28.720 Just when I supply exactly are a good while you know what. 04:28.740 --> 04:31.150 You definitely watch the videos. 04:31.250 --> 04:34.610 So that is that is very very impressive. 04:34.640 --> 04:36.690 But like you said in the very beginning. 04:36.930 --> 04:44.520 The key thing is your ability to apply the information that is good that is going to be the key key 04:44.520 --> 04:46.780 thing for you is how well you're able to apply it. 04:46.900 --> 04:50.860 OK so you have it exactly right. 04:50.870 --> 04:57.270 You know what we're going to do now is I'm going to give you a test and in the beginning of the test 04:57.480 --> 05:04.110 I'm going to probably stop you a few times if I notice anything that you're doing wrong. 05:05.180 --> 05:11.670 Now in general all all three sections of the test are supposed to be graded equally but in reality the 05:11.670 --> 05:16.680 way that it really really works is normally after Section 1. 05:16.740 --> 05:21.750 A greater has a pretty good idea of where you go about the range of your score. 05:21.870 --> 05:28.650 Right so you venesection Number one they may have they may have an idea and say Well I think he's between 05:28.860 --> 05:32.280 6.5 and 7.5 right. 05:33.030 --> 05:37.760 And his first impression is the first impression first par one gives you that first impression. 05:37.760 --> 05:42.380 So they get an idea of a range in their mind pretty quickly. 05:42.880 --> 05:48.910 But then when you get to section number two that's when they really are looking at it and be able to 05:48.910 --> 05:50.270 really get a good idea. 05:50.290 --> 05:51.570 Well OK. 05:51.740 --> 05:55.480 He's more of a 7.5 or he's more of a 6.5. 05:55.840 --> 06:01.850 Also that Section 2 is really really the determining section right. 06:01.860 --> 06:09.970 So a lot of students tell a lot of students you know if you are going to you want to be very good at 06:09.970 --> 06:15.450 Section 2 Section 2 with Empress's somebody more than any other section. 06:16.240 --> 06:20.800 Section 2 is where you're free and the person is not guiding you. 06:20.950 --> 06:26.110 They're not leading you with using the right the right verb tense and leading you in any kind of way 06:26.110 --> 06:28.120 with questions right. 06:28.120 --> 06:35.200 So if you're going to practice anything a lot before your test really really get good at section number 06:35.230 --> 06:40.800 two because I can really be the determining factor what really pushes you in one direction or pushes 06:40.810 --> 06:43.600 you in higher direction or lower direction. 06:44.260 --> 06:46.890 All right so kind of like the more. 06:46.900 --> 06:48.880 What was that. 06:48.910 --> 06:50.000 Can't agree more. 06:50.140 --> 06:51.450 Yep and I agree with you. 06:51.680 --> 06:53.040 So let's get started. 06:53.140 --> 07:01.210 All right so we're going to do section 1 and I'll break down some things that what you're doing good 07:01.210 --> 07:03.960 and what you need to work on a couple of things. 07:03.970 --> 07:07.340 Make sure in section 1 Don't repeat the question back to me. 07:07.610 --> 07:13.210 Graters really love it when you use synonyms and you can paraphrase language you know try to use a minimum 07:13.210 --> 07:15.860 of two sentences they answer a question. 07:16.000 --> 07:23.050 Make sure that some people think well I should just talk talk talk talk talk talk a lot if I talk a 07:23.050 --> 07:27.840 lot then that's going to help me and that's not necessarily true. 07:28.060 --> 07:32.080 You've got to make you have to make sure that you stay inside the box of the questions. 07:32.440 --> 07:33.780 All right. 07:33.820 --> 07:39.110 Stay inside the box of the questions because a lot of times people talk and then go outside the question. 07:39.550 --> 07:43.470 So let's get you ready ready. 07:43.740 --> 07:48.910 So question number one note please tell me your name. 07:49.120 --> 07:50.110 My name is that nobody. 07:50.110 --> 07:51.230 Amen. 07:52.110 --> 07:52.720 OK. 07:52.780 --> 07:56.970 And is your name popular in your country. 07:58.410 --> 07:59.700 Yes definitely. 07:59.760 --> 08:01.420 Popular almost. 08:01.650 --> 08:07.810 You can count like 30 percent of the newborns in my country are named Ahmed either. 08:07.830 --> 08:10.620 MUHAMMAD So it's a very popular make sense. 08:11.090 --> 08:12.040 OK. 08:12.120 --> 08:20.850 And as we're speaking about countries where are you from originally I'm from Egypt specifically from 08:20.850 --> 08:23.300 Alexandria the second capital for Egypt. 08:23.340 --> 08:27.620 And it is a coastal city in the Mediterranean Sea. 08:27.620 --> 08:31.260 However now I'm living in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. 08:31.560 --> 08:32.380 OK. 08:32.610 --> 08:36.110 And do you work or are you a student. 08:37.900 --> 08:46.540 Currently I'm working as a medical science in its own sense two years now which I'm mainly concerned 08:46.540 --> 08:51.190 about getting the head of professionals about Sipek therapy I go. 08:51.220 --> 08:56.770 So you do a really good so far Be careful with sense and for right when you wouldn't be since two years 08:56.770 --> 08:58.100 now will be for two years. 08:58.110 --> 09:00.260 Now OK. 09:00.490 --> 09:01.180 All right. 09:01.500 --> 09:09.980 So so so so I suppose to be 40 years non-USA USA for two years OK. 09:11.860 --> 09:20.920 Or I or you or you could say since you know so in some sense the No since the past two years now how 09:20.920 --> 09:26.800 is this for is for for the for the past two years or for many years or for the past three years. 09:27.420 --> 09:29.360 OK. 09:29.520 --> 09:30.470 All right. 09:30.580 --> 09:31.900 Let's keep going. 09:31.900 --> 09:33.360 Could you tell me again what are you studying. 09:33.370 --> 09:34.770 What do you work where do you work. 09:36.500 --> 09:45.240 I'm working as a medical science I'm in a in a pharmaceutical company in the medical of the past. 09:45.420 --> 09:48.640 And Mitchum's principle for advocating that doctors. 09:48.890 --> 09:49.820 Okay great. 09:49.820 --> 09:53.510 And can you please describe your job a little bit more. 09:56.550 --> 10:00.960 As I mentioned before that I am working in the medical affairs department. 10:00.990 --> 10:09.340 This is a department the newly established rather than a sales and commercial unit in this area and 10:09.440 --> 10:12.170 they really mean they might present. 10:12.210 --> 10:19.830 My time is in the field meeting doctors and I'm really make with making communication with them to educate 10:20.010 --> 10:27.080 them and making them up to date giving them the most updated information about specific therapy areas. 10:27.080 --> 10:27.870 All right. 10:27.990 --> 10:30.670 So this is my job. 10:31.050 --> 10:31.740 OK. 10:32.010 --> 10:35.290 Do you like to work alone or on a team. 10:39.050 --> 10:44.110 Definitely prefer to work a team since you are complete each other. 10:44.240 --> 10:49.110 And this is mixer's for my job had have meaning. 10:49.190 --> 10:57.650 Meaning you know work with the team and contests from each other so I think this is definitely will 10:58.720 --> 10:59.560 work. 10:59.960 --> 11:00.280 All right. 11:00.320 --> 11:05.020 And do you need do you need more training related to your work. 11:06.860 --> 11:07.560 Yes. 11:07.770 --> 11:14.240 On a regular basis I have sometimes I have a training every months every two months. 11:14.570 --> 11:18.030 That's very important to be updated in my job. 11:19.380 --> 11:19.820 OK. 11:19.830 --> 11:23.590 All right let's move on and I want to ask you a few things about your family. 11:23.620 --> 11:26.810 Do you spend you spend a lot of time with your family. 11:29.520 --> 11:31.820 Yes I can say that. 11:31.850 --> 11:36.140 No I don't spend enough time with my family. 11:36.200 --> 11:38.730 Do we have any specific time. 11:38.930 --> 11:40.640 Maybe one hour or two. 11:40.640 --> 11:43.800 Their day to spend together as a one family. 11:43.820 --> 11:46.910 But I think we need to make it more and more. 11:47.060 --> 11:47.730 All right. 11:47.750 --> 11:54.040 And with whom do you like to spend time with your family. 11:55.460 --> 11:56.990 Of course it goes without saying. 11:56.990 --> 12:00.190 That was my to you daughters. 12:00.370 --> 12:03.140 They are two twin girls. 12:03.140 --> 12:06.990 Of course I prefer Sarah and I love to spend time with them. 12:07.920 --> 12:08.540 OK. 12:08.790 --> 12:11.690 And why is that. 12:11.690 --> 12:14.100 Why do you enjoy spending time with them. 12:17.460 --> 12:24.600 Generally I love my children and those of my daughter so I love spending time with them in order to 12:24.600 --> 12:31.080 feel that I'm fulfilling my responsibilities for them and I'm trying my best to bring them up in the 12:31.080 --> 12:31.830 right way. 12:31.860 --> 12:39.240 So I think spending time this is the first right for them and I should say and I'm good. 12:39.240 --> 12:40.730 So you're doing pretty good there only. 12:40.830 --> 12:44.880 I've only counted just a few mistakes here and there. 12:45.060 --> 12:50.670 But you do and you're doing a really I mean just like a preposition missed here or you know mispronouncing 12:50.670 --> 12:56.130 the word prefer you say I'd prefer you know as this professor but just minor things but so far you're 12:56.130 --> 12:57.590 doing pretty good. 12:57.610 --> 12:57.820 All right. 12:57.870 --> 13:06.360 Let's move on and let's talk about computers. 13:07.520 --> 13:08.200 Do you agree. 13:08.300 --> 13:09.900 Do you use the Internet. 13:12.700 --> 13:13.240 Yes. 13:13.270 --> 13:15.940 Now we are using the Internet to make this discussion 13:19.140 --> 13:19.620 up. 13:19.700 --> 13:21.560 OK. 13:21.740 --> 13:23.350 Are you what you want. 13:23.500 --> 13:28.340 You probably want to get like give me an answer that you would give for the test or not like that. 13:28.610 --> 13:29.160 All right. 13:29.220 --> 13:30.730 So that's my question again. 13:30.960 --> 13:31.270 All right. 13:31.270 --> 13:38.280 Do you do you do you use the Internet of course. 13:38.280 --> 13:46.080 No I think it's the most used tool everyday at the Internet. 13:46.450 --> 13:47.330 And why. 13:47.380 --> 13:47.920 Why. 13:47.920 --> 13:48.630 What reason. 13:48.630 --> 13:52.120 What specific reasons do you need to be on the internet for 13:54.690 --> 13:56.990 actually many reasons. 13:57.180 --> 14:08.110 Most of people need internet for for browsing some for some for having because they have an online courses 14:08.530 --> 14:12.520 and some they are meeting each other from different countries. 14:12.520 --> 14:19.500 So actually many reasons most people using Ethernet for me I'm using internet for educational purposes. 14:20.040 --> 14:20.780 OK. 14:21.170 --> 14:21.480 Good. 14:21.490 --> 14:24.730 I was worried in the beginning when you were answered when you were answering that question that you 14:24.730 --> 14:29.030 were talking about people in general but at the end you did say for you specifically which is good good 14:29.050 --> 14:29.930 answer. 14:29.930 --> 14:34.320 All right so do you think that computer use will change in the future. 14:37.980 --> 14:39.620 Yes definitely yes. 14:39.900 --> 14:47.040 If you look back 10 years ago you will have a totally different shape for computers throughout this 14:47.040 --> 14:47.580 period. 14:47.580 --> 14:53.760 We're having a lot of changes in the computers and I do believe that this will continue to hammer new 14:53.760 --> 15:00.770 generations of computers more advanced less weight and having more advanced technology. 15:00.870 --> 15:03.280 So yes. 15:03.390 --> 15:09.270 So you have to be careful with your endings because just like you say pronouncedly does it advance said 15:09.620 --> 15:13.260 and it's advanced or advanced. 15:13.260 --> 15:14.490 So you might want to take it. 15:14.520 --> 15:19.780 You might want to take some time to look at that grammar rule for using for the endings of a when it 15:19.810 --> 15:22.430 when it sounds like EDI and when it sounds like t. 15:22.500 --> 15:24.070 Ok ok. 15:24.120 --> 15:26.050 I took it as a note now. 15:26.420 --> 15:26.930 I got it. 15:26.960 --> 15:27.750 Let's move on. 15:27.750 --> 15:32.500 And finally we're going to we're going to talk about eating habits. 15:33.270 --> 15:35.790 Could you please tell me about your eating habits. 15:37.740 --> 15:47.270 And currently I'm trying to be more healthy to having more healthier habits with changing from eating 15:47.280 --> 15:54.960 much carbohydrates into less carbohydrates more proteins are trying to make it a habit in our family 15:55.650 --> 15:57.270 in order to. 15:57.410 --> 15:59.760 We were on a diet and we were to lose weight. 15:59.760 --> 16:07.240 So now I think you are depending mainly on protein for protein right. 16:07.330 --> 16:09.430 And how many times a day do you eat 16:12.150 --> 16:13.290 three times a day. 16:13.290 --> 16:20.380 We're having our main meals and we're having to do two additional times for snacks. 16:20.400 --> 16:22.740 So total is a farce. 16:23.250 --> 16:27.070 And have your eating habits changed over time. 16:29.670 --> 16:39.200 Yes I can say that we are now almost two months when it's when I started this new life before we having 16:39.570 --> 16:41.990 a totally different routine. 16:42.030 --> 16:43.690 We don't care about the number. 16:43.740 --> 16:45.850 We don't care about snacks. 16:45.990 --> 16:47.180 What we what we eat. 16:47.190 --> 16:50.100 But now we are being much focused on what we eat. 16:50.100 --> 16:51.840 So it's changing over time. 16:51.840 --> 16:52.460 Yes. 16:53.590 --> 16:53.970 All right. 16:54.020 --> 16:56.350 And what food do you like the most. 16:58.630 --> 17:05.010 Oh I really enjoy that Italian cuisine. 17:05.090 --> 17:10.710 The flavors that the quality of food they are using really amazing. 17:10.720 --> 17:16.430 I think it's all my family members are really big fans of Italian cuisine. 17:16.990 --> 17:17.380 All right. 17:17.380 --> 17:20.880 So I want to I'm going to ask you while you're doing pretty good. 17:20.880 --> 17:27.240 Like I said with the the only issues I've been hearing really your fluency has been fine. 17:27.410 --> 17:31.990 And in general you've just pronounced in a few words here and there that only you make some grammar 17:31.990 --> 17:38.830 mistakes like you know in a previous question you said we are we are we are having like in the past 17:38.830 --> 17:44.980 what you have you said we are having been like we we had Yeah yeah. 17:45.160 --> 17:48.630 But you just have to be careful with just a few grammar things here and there. 17:48.640 --> 17:51.280 But I mean you're doing pretty good right now. 17:51.850 --> 17:56.740 Now for example if we we just finished part one just now and I would say OK what kind of gray would 17:56.740 --> 17:57.860 I give this guy. 17:58.010 --> 18:00.840 Where where do I think is potentially right. 18:01.290 --> 18:07.370 I thought I was I was a great show probably saying OK well right now he's probably on the low end a 18:07.370 --> 18:14.590 6.5 potentially on the high end 7.5 at a minimum right now would be thinking or at least a minimum of 18:14.590 --> 18:23.320 6.5 on the high and probably seven point five is a lot of that and the opinion would really depend on 18:23.320 --> 18:27.340 how well you're going to do and how well you're going to do in this next section which is section number 18:27.340 --> 18:29.510 two. 18:30.010 --> 18:38.500 Now one thing that you have to make sure you do when you take your speaking test tomorrow is that you. 18:38.530 --> 18:46.930 You're you're relaxed as you are now because one thing that people don't really prepare for is the psychological 18:46.930 --> 18:49.300 aspect of taking an exam 18:51.980 --> 18:56.700 especially a competitive exam because that's really what the aisles examine the tone for example with 18:56.830 --> 19:02.320 what you call competitive exams because you actually are in competition you're competing for something 19:03.340 --> 19:08.290 you're competing to get a higher score because you want to you want to get something that an higher 19:08.290 --> 19:09.730 score will provide. 19:09.730 --> 19:14.520 So you know psychologically is very important that you're relaxed. 19:14.600 --> 19:15.600 OK. 19:16.000 --> 19:21.520 And what you're doing today with me is absolutely no different than what you're going to do when you 19:21.520 --> 19:22.730 take your real exam. 19:23.790 --> 19:29.430 Again just just think about that and don't because sometimes when people feel pressure what they do 19:29.430 --> 19:34.530 when people feel pressure or what they tend to do is they tend to start shortening their answers because 19:34.530 --> 19:36.800 they want to get out of their. 19:37.000 --> 19:37.680 Right. 19:37.750 --> 19:42.800 They want to hurry up and finished and you want to have more of an attitude. 19:42.860 --> 19:45.140 I can sit here and talk all day long. 19:46.080 --> 19:47.490 Right now I'm comfortable. 19:47.500 --> 19:49.170 I can sit here I can talk. 19:49.320 --> 19:50.540 I'm in no hurry. 19:50.890 --> 19:54.130 You know that's how the mental state you want to be. 19:54.450 --> 19:55.420 All right. 19:55.470 --> 19:55.970 Right. 19:55.970 --> 19:56.450 All right. 19:56.510 --> 19:56.750 All right. 19:56.770 --> 19:58.230 Let's move on to part two. 19:58.300 --> 19:58.840 I'm going to.
