WEBVTT 00:01.790 --> 00:06.780 All right so now we have the speaking test for nada. 00:06.920 --> 00:08.900 Nada thank you for being with us today. 00:08.900 --> 00:09.930 How are you doing. 00:11.410 --> 00:12.420 Thank you. 00:12.900 --> 00:14.460 I'm good. 00:14.470 --> 00:26.150 So if not why are you taking the exam and taking the time to design something even the just in the middle. 00:26.850 --> 00:27.540 OK. 00:27.710 --> 00:30.000 And what is what. 00:30.050 --> 00:37.770 What are your major difficulties or problems that you've been having with the Isles exam everything 00:37.860 --> 00:43.800 I want to read in part and what what is your problem with the written part. 00:46.030 --> 00:51.720 I think maybe the construction of climate because I don't like grammar in general I don't like that 00:51.750 --> 00:54.630 word and in particular grammar with this article in English. 00:54.640 --> 00:57.270 So this is my father. 00:57.880 --> 00:58.790 Well OK. 00:58.890 --> 01:01.200 So then that means you have to work on your grammar. 01:02.440 --> 01:04.590 Yes right. 01:04.660 --> 01:11.560 Well one thing though the grammar problems that you have in writing do you have those same grammar problems 01:11.560 --> 01:16.710 in speaking because normally speaking and writing go hand in hand. 01:17.290 --> 01:24.660 In any case a good defense is picking things from a 6.5. 01:24.670 --> 01:28.670 So it's quite I mean it is in between the two. 01:29.110 --> 01:29.660 OK. 01:29.740 --> 01:31.190 All right. 01:31.460 --> 01:32.160 OK. 01:32.230 --> 01:36.820 Well I'm not I'm not exactly sure why you're having the problem in writing it could be various different 01:37.240 --> 01:40.440 reasons why I would have to you would have to show me your writing some days. 01:40.450 --> 01:47.380 I could take a look at it for you and be able to point out for you in terms of what you might be why 01:47.380 --> 01:53.420 you might not be getting the score that you that you want it might not be related to grammar. 01:53.510 --> 02:02.130 So but I can't I can't really answer that without seeing it more so in terms of the speaking section. 02:02.260 --> 02:07.180 Do you have any what difficulties or challenges are you having with the speaking section. 02:09.040 --> 02:15.690 Oh last time I sit for the exam I got six point five which is the least that I ever had said. 02:16.150 --> 02:18.290 It means I need to prove time. 02:18.360 --> 02:20.480 Nice speaking sections as well. 02:20.540 --> 02:21.800 Not to forget that's fine. 02:22.030 --> 02:23.560 I start to practice more more. 02:23.640 --> 02:26.780 And this weekend section OK. 02:26.790 --> 02:27.100 All right. 02:27.110 --> 02:32.590 So let's go ahead and get started with your speaking test. 02:32.780 --> 02:39.450 And we're going to start with number one and as we're going along if I hear anything that is an issue 02:39.450 --> 02:42.820 or a problem I'll try to point it out for you. 02:42.890 --> 02:48.810 You know in terms of the difference in your score between getting sometimes a 6.5 another time an eight. 02:48.840 --> 02:54.720 It could be as simple as you answered part number two wrong or you didn't do well in part number two. 02:55.650 --> 03:01.260 You don't normally normally that's the part where people either hurt themselves or helped themselves. 03:01.320 --> 03:07.920 So lomba Alison today and in our house see if I hear anything anything they can do that really jumps 03:07.920 --> 03:11.340 out to me as well could have been a potential problem. 03:11.340 --> 03:11.700 All right. 03:11.700 --> 03:13.570 So let's go ahead and get started. 03:13.960 --> 03:15.180 I can sense that. 03:15.300 --> 03:15.880 OK. 03:15.950 --> 03:26.430 So would you please tell me your full name and non-chess and name me which we actually did at the time 03:27.200 --> 03:32.080 she finishes in the morning of OK. 03:32.340 --> 03:36.570 And is that name very popular in your home country. 03:37.660 --> 03:38.920 Yeah it's very popular. 03:38.920 --> 03:39.850 It's fun. 03:40.230 --> 03:45.990 Among the most common names actually now girls are named. 03:46.070 --> 03:46.610 All right. 03:46.610 --> 03:49.210 Have you ever thought about changing your name. 03:50.400 --> 03:51.000 No. 03:51.030 --> 03:55.240 I'll do my name and say I want to have it for the rest of my life. 03:57.180 --> 03:57.550 All right. 03:57.600 --> 04:01.440 And what do you think about people who do decide to change their name. 04:03.340 --> 04:03.640 OK. 04:03.640 --> 04:07.550 In fact some of the name seems very strange to the others. 04:07.600 --> 04:14.930 They do for Ray's family and put those who have been named in trouble whenever they mention their name. 04:15.070 --> 04:22.170 There is an arm over their name so I think in that case it is justified that they can change their names. 04:22.590 --> 04:23.810 OK. 04:23.970 --> 04:25.510 Are you Curly. 04:25.530 --> 04:26.870 Do you Curly have a job. 04:26.920 --> 04:28.480 Or are you a student. 04:29.810 --> 04:36.640 Know I'm I'm going to have a job I'm actually an existing professor in a Saudi Arabian university teaching 04:36.640 --> 04:38.030 medical student. 04:38.440 --> 04:39.060 OK. 04:39.100 --> 04:42.300 What specifically do you teach. 04:42.330 --> 04:49.440 I do teach them a subject known as internal medicine it is it's a branch of medicine in general and 04:49.440 --> 04:59.010 in particular internal medicine it deals for us it seems like neurology which is a disease of the nerves 04:59.040 --> 05:05.130 and haematology disease of the blood and gastroenterology with Dale's face. 05:05.330 --> 05:08.800 Complaints are asked to sign a complaint. 05:09.100 --> 05:09.740 OK. 05:10.170 --> 05:13.910 And do you like to work alone or in a team. 05:15.300 --> 05:17.280 Oh I do prefer to work in a team. 05:17.290 --> 05:25.090 I used to work in an emergency team in my home country tonight and I love to be in a team. 05:25.120 --> 05:30.190 People are afraid to share things with you like this. 05:30.370 --> 05:36.030 And so even the moment of sort of we we tend to feel high. 05:36.040 --> 05:38.870 Are there any disadvantages to working on a team. 05:41.080 --> 05:47.770 For every single life is an advantage and a disadvantage and definitely the business of funding being 05:47.770 --> 05:50.480 a team which is not going to be there. 05:50.500 --> 05:57.490 That's to say there's a lot of conflict where one wants to follow his own way without listening to the 05:57.490 --> 06:00.240 other is such conflict. 06:00.430 --> 06:09.180 But if you have got a very good team leaders say since fear is often things would be for people OK. 06:09.310 --> 06:11.920 Are you living in a house or an apartment. 06:13.810 --> 06:19.700 Currently I'm living in apartments which is a five bedroom Park. 06:19.920 --> 06:25.900 Today was nice kitchen and a very comfortable living room and a dining. 06:25.990 --> 06:29.200 And I have got to use the bathroom as well. 06:29.200 --> 06:38.100 The problem with my apartment it is frequently in our body because I am living in a frontline area I'm 06:38.110 --> 06:40.380 living currently at don't. 06:40.490 --> 06:45.410 What is the war between Yemen and soothe your baby. 06:45.880 --> 06:47.220 Sometimes you get a lot of noise. 06:47.230 --> 06:48.560 This is the bad thing about it. 06:50.140 --> 06:50.650 OK. 06:50.670 --> 06:51.690 All right. 06:51.690 --> 06:58.980 So one thing that you want to be careful with is that you you kind of stay inside the question. 06:58.980 --> 06:59.450 Right. 06:59.460 --> 07:03.380 The question was do you live in an apartment or house. 07:03.450 --> 07:08.080 And then you can at the end kind of went off into what you like or what you don't like about it. 07:08.580 --> 07:08.990 OK. 07:09.000 --> 07:14.080 But you want to make sure they that you it's OK to extend your answer. 07:14.340 --> 07:18.370 But when you extend your answer just stay inside then question. 07:18.420 --> 07:20.280 Do you live in an apartment or house. 07:21.980 --> 07:22.720 OK. 07:23.300 --> 07:28.380 So if I were standing from the outside how does your apartment look. 07:31.500 --> 07:41.470 It looks like a two story building from the fountain and actually there was no leaves no brains no nothing 07:41.620 --> 07:42.430 nothing. 07:42.430 --> 07:44.160 It's just stone and bricks. 07:44.400 --> 07:45.520 You can see. 07:45.540 --> 07:47.350 You can see this is very tiny. 07:47.350 --> 07:51.680 When this was no movie by the coldness or over the. 07:51.970 --> 07:56.950 And it doesn't look that much to look from outside. 07:57.060 --> 07:58.230 It's the difference. 07:58.680 --> 07:59.570 OK. 07:59.880 --> 08:00.480 All right. 08:00.630 --> 08:05.100 And if you were looking outside the window of your house what would you see. 08:07.620 --> 08:12.520 I'm just going to show you the street which is not normally or not. 08:12.530 --> 08:13.930 Not at all. 08:14.000 --> 08:15.190 OK. 08:15.250 --> 08:18.890 Then the question is is this that much. 08:18.990 --> 08:20.800 Is faith that is just history. 08:21.020 --> 08:28.870 And we're very few that we can walk on and also very few cars and I can look ahead in front of me. 08:28.880 --> 08:31.430 There was a market for that. 08:31.730 --> 08:37.770 And on the other side there is a garden actually is a deserted one. 08:38.060 --> 08:39.750 Nobody's home. 08:39.950 --> 08:40.670 OK good. 08:40.720 --> 08:47.110 And what you want to keep in mind is your job when you're doing this test. 08:47.120 --> 08:52.010 Your job is to just show your ability with English right. 08:52.010 --> 08:57.850 So don't don't worry about it what I ask you a question about what's outside your window. 08:58.220 --> 09:01.610 If there's nothing outside your window make something up. 09:03.340 --> 09:03.930 OK. 09:04.000 --> 09:04.540 All right. 09:04.550 --> 09:08.470 But I did actually because it wasn't anything was OK that's good. 09:08.470 --> 09:09.250 But you know what. 09:09.250 --> 09:10.600 I didn't know the difference. 09:12.020 --> 09:13.810 I don't know the difference but what but what. 09:13.850 --> 09:18.800 But if you if you if you make something up or you create something fictional you're going to be able 09:18.800 --> 09:25.220 to show me your vocabulary ability your command of the language your command of being able to describe 09:25.250 --> 09:28.860 things around you with vocabulary words and sentences. 09:28.910 --> 09:29.180 Right. 09:29.180 --> 09:32.000 And so you're trying you're at your job. 09:32.210 --> 09:34.070 It's always important to remember what your job is. 09:34.070 --> 09:35.290 Your job is. 09:35.510 --> 09:37.510 Show me your English ability. 09:37.700 --> 09:38.090 Right. 09:38.150 --> 09:45.470 And so it is no it doesn't matter about if it's fictional or or truthful it doesn't matter. 09:45.480 --> 09:47.130 Just just do the best you can. 09:47.390 --> 09:48.470 So far you're doing really good. 09:48.470 --> 09:50.770 Sometimes you forget to stand. 09:50.780 --> 09:53.940 But when you do extend your answer you're doing a really good job. 09:53.990 --> 09:59.360 You have to remember to do that and remember to make sure that you stay inside the question because 09:59.360 --> 10:04.430 sometimes students don't realize and that when they hurt themselves is they say well I talked a lot 10:04.640 --> 10:05.820 I talk a lot. 10:05.990 --> 10:12.950 Well did you spend a lot of time talking about stuff is not related to the question right and so it's 10:13.070 --> 10:17.360 sort of like you know when you're you're talking to somebody you ask them a question about you know 10:17.360 --> 10:18.810 how was your day. 10:18.830 --> 10:24.260 And they start they start talking about some other subjects unrelated to that you know so you want to 10:24.260 --> 10:29.840 make sure you always stay related to the question in your answers because that's a way that you can 10:29.840 --> 10:35.990 realize at your youth that you may not realize that you're hurting yourself all right now you do have 10:35.990 --> 10:36.560 some good. 10:36.570 --> 10:43.380 You do have some grammar issues but you get your grammar issues are dealing with. 10:43.520 --> 10:48.650 I hear some things dealing with subject verb agreement like you comes of saying like we have five bedrooms 10:48.650 --> 10:51.390 should be five bedrooms. 10:51.830 --> 10:52.970 Article placement. 10:52.970 --> 10:58.590 You know you said I have a large kitchen it should be I have a large kitchen and things with your bedroom 10:58.590 --> 11:04.500 in it with your with your beaver. 11:04.530 --> 11:10.790 See what did saying there is and in which to see it but it was you said there is and it should have 11:10.790 --> 11:10.970 been. 11:10.970 --> 11:11.860 There are. 11:12.050 --> 11:13.860 So those are like basic. 11:13.940 --> 11:17.930 Those are basic form grammar mistakes. 11:18.110 --> 11:18.530 Right. 11:18.660 --> 11:20.730 That sort of thing. 11:20.800 --> 11:23.800 And I know if I gave you a grammar test you know the rules. 11:24.110 --> 11:24.660 Right. 11:24.860 --> 11:27.930 But you just you just have to really apply them better. 11:29.130 --> 11:29.830 OK. 11:30.110 --> 11:36.780 You got you have to do a better job of really applying your rules better and the better the more you 11:36.780 --> 11:39.680 the more you apply those rules and you're rid of those basic mistakes. 11:39.690 --> 11:41.270 You're going to help yourself. 11:41.580 --> 11:47.370 And in terms of the difference in your score you have to keep in mind the speaking section is subjective 11:48.000 --> 11:53.760 and so different graders have different things that impressed that that and that impress them or make 11:53.760 --> 11:55.320 them look more negative on a student. 11:55.320 --> 12:01.880 So if I'm greater where grammar really matters to me more if I hear somebody making a lot of grammar 12:01.880 --> 12:06.010 mistakes that's going to make me grade them lower. 12:06.020 --> 12:08.420 You might have another grade or any occasion. 12:08.510 --> 12:15.680 Yeah you might have another grader who thinks more about you know the the the the fluency and the pronunciation. 12:15.710 --> 12:17.890 And that impresses them more. 12:17.930 --> 12:18.260 Right. 12:18.260 --> 12:22.810 So even though they all have the same grading rubric even though they don't have all they all have the 12:22.820 --> 12:26.480 same grading chart we are all still human beings. 12:28.390 --> 12:28.740 Right. 12:28.750 --> 12:33.640 And so don't necessarily feel so bad about you know where I got to six points I want to give aid. 12:33.630 --> 12:41.370 It could be of any number of reasons why that could be a possible reason why but your job is just to 12:41.940 --> 12:46.730 work on the things that you could work on to make sure you give your best effort. 12:47.160 --> 12:51.410 And one of those things that you're going to have to work on is trying to clear up some grammar issues. 12:52.710 --> 12:53.430 OK. 12:53.630 --> 12:54.080 All right. 12:54.120 --> 12:56.140 So let's keep going. 12:56.370 --> 12:58.000 I'm going to move on. 12:58.470 --> 13:02.750 And I would like to talk to you about presents. 13:02.880 --> 13:04.720 OK. 13:04.890 --> 13:06.730 Do you do you like presents 13:09.280 --> 13:09.810 Raven. 13:09.810 --> 13:18.630 I think everyone likes to have a present together present but what sort of presence is important to 13:18.630 --> 13:18.900 you. 13:18.930 --> 13:26.370 I think the present is meaning the present friend and actually the value of the present a present from 13:26.370 --> 13:36.360 my husband whatever it is small for me is just like a new car and I have a small but the matter is is 13:36.450 --> 13:38.440 the way the present is given. 13:38.510 --> 13:46.500 And then it is it is given to give him to the other side as well and give you a very nice feeling. 13:46.530 --> 13:54.710 You feel the happiness in the faces of people you are giving them for especially that they need it. 13:54.880 --> 13:58.360 So not remember I want you to stay focused on the question. 13:58.470 --> 14:03.710 The question is specifically about you not about other people so says Do you like presence. 14:05.210 --> 14:06.460 OK right. 14:06.470 --> 14:13.660 So this is one thing the other that you've got to make sure you focus on right stay inside the question 14:14.810 --> 14:18.210 OK because you can give a nice you can give beautiful answers. 14:18.410 --> 14:22.040 But if half of your answer has nothing to do with the question and you're not helping yourself 14:24.710 --> 14:30.350 right now you're very fluid and your pronunciation is good but you just kind of have a tendency sometimes 14:30.350 --> 14:35.480 to go in a different direction on a question all day long. 14:35.630 --> 14:36.290 Yes. 14:36.320 --> 14:38.920 And I need you to stay on the right side of the road. 14:38.930 --> 14:41.940 Don't go on the left side of the road stay on the right side of the road. 14:43.200 --> 14:47.060 All right stay stay in the same path of the question. 14:47.080 --> 14:50.610 Now what do you like most about presence 14:54.870 --> 15:07.140 I like the emotional value it and I think it gives me great pleasure to to to have presence because 15:07.550 --> 15:10.910 it means that somebody is thinking about me. 15:12.090 --> 15:14.940 It's about me and that's what this medium. 15:15.170 --> 15:15.790 All right. 15:16.010 --> 15:19.480 And could you please describe a gift that you didn't like. 15:22.990 --> 15:28.860 I well the point of getting a present whenever you like it or you don't like it. 15:28.980 --> 15:32.280 You feel better of having it. 15:32.390 --> 15:39.100 But I have never ever in my life seen a gift which I really didn't like. 15:39.280 --> 15:45.190 Everything which is offered to me. 15:45.630 --> 15:46.440 OK. 15:47.130 --> 15:47.360 All right. 15:47.370 --> 15:48.360 That was OK. 15:48.360 --> 15:49.030 You did OK. 15:49.040 --> 15:49.910 I got this. 15:49.920 --> 15:50.650 Keep in mind. 15:50.670 --> 15:51.540 Truth doesn't matter. 15:51.540 --> 15:53.040 OK. 15:54.680 --> 15:55.580 I choose to. 15:55.600 --> 15:56.320 Does. 15:57.000 --> 16:03.210 Have to make something like a bad presence and tell us that Monday is fictional. 16:04.210 --> 16:06.090 It's fictional right. 16:06.180 --> 16:07.110 I have. 16:07.320 --> 16:09.830 For example I'll make something up right now. 16:10.020 --> 16:15.480 Most gifts that I've gotten in my life I've absolutely enjoyed IVAX absolutely loved them especially 16:15.480 --> 16:16.550 if they come from my wife. 16:16.560 --> 16:26.190 But I do recall this one time my cousin gave me a shirt that he knew was too small for me and I absolutely 16:26.190 --> 16:32.340 hated that shirt because it didn't fit me very well and he insisted that I try it on in front of in 16:32.340 --> 16:36.460 front of everybody and they laughed at me because I was wearing a shirt that was too small. 16:38.330 --> 16:39.180 Wow. 16:39.890 --> 16:40.340 OK. 16:40.360 --> 16:44.730 I think it's it's from me I think to. 16:45.050 --> 16:45.540 Yes. 16:45.610 --> 16:52.590 I mean is this just not you know is this just just sometimes don't get caught up in to some. 16:52.660 --> 16:58.060 Sometimes what happens to us when we're taking a special exam like Dial's exam is when we try to remember 16:58.060 --> 16:59.910 something from our past. 17:00.010 --> 17:02.660 It causes the pause and the hesitation. 17:03.040 --> 17:08.710 And sometimes when you're trying to go back in your memory that can affect you which is much different 17:08.710 --> 17:09.580 then. 17:09.610 --> 17:11.070 Well let me just say something. 17:14.030 --> 17:14.480 Right. 17:14.500 --> 17:18.800 So I mean is that something that should get better at with practice. 17:19.820 --> 17:20.240 Right. 17:20.360 --> 17:25.910 You get better with practice in terms of just just giving fictional answers sometimes especially if 17:25.910 --> 17:27.620 you don't have information about something. 17:27.620 --> 17:30.860 Sometimes people say well what if I don't have any information about the topic. 17:31.070 --> 17:35.320 Then you make it up and then I'm going to be there. 17:35.430 --> 17:35.920 No. 17:36.060 --> 17:36.890 I know you don't have to. 17:36.890 --> 17:37.280 You don't have to. 17:37.280 --> 17:38.810 You don't call yourself a liar. 17:39.020 --> 17:43.510 You can call yourself if you call yourself a storyteller. 17:43.620 --> 17:44.050 Right. 17:44.130 --> 17:44.590 OK. 17:44.690 --> 17:45.220 Yes. 17:45.230 --> 17:51.120 Yes just like just like when people make up movies or books or anything else is all fictional. 17:51.120 --> 17:51.420 All right. 17:51.420 --> 17:55.100 Now let's move on and talk about eating. 17:55.110 --> 17:57.510 Could you please tell me about your eating habits. 17:59.970 --> 18:00.990 OK. 18:01.020 --> 18:04.360 I like eating certain types of food. 18:04.370 --> 18:04.580 What.
