All right so now we have the speaking test for nada.
Nada thank you for being with us today.
How are you doing.
Thank you.
I'm good.
So if not why are you taking the exam and taking the time to design something even the just in the middle.
OK.
And what is what.
What are your major difficulties or problems that you've been having with the Isles exam everything
I want to read in part and what what is your problem with the written part.
I think maybe the construction of climate because I don't like grammar in general I don't like that
word and in particular grammar with this article in English.
So this is my father.
Well OK.
So then that means you have to work on your grammar.
Yes right.
Well one thing though the grammar problems that you have in writing do you have those same grammar problems
in speaking because normally speaking and writing go hand in hand.
In any case a good defense is picking things from a 6.5.
So it's quite I mean it is in between the two.
OK.
All right.
OK.
Well I'm not I'm not exactly sure why you're having the problem in writing it could be various different
reasons why I would have to you would have to show me your writing some days.
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
you might not be getting the score that you that you want it might not be related to grammar.
So but I can't I can't really answer that without seeing it more so in terms of the speaking section.
Do you have any what difficulties or challenges are you having with the speaking section.
Oh last time I sit for the exam I got six point five which is the least that I ever had said.
It means I need to prove time.
Nice speaking sections as well.
Not to forget that's fine.
I start to practice more more.
And this weekend section OK.
All right.
So let's go ahead and get started with your speaking test.
And we're going to start with number one and as we're going along if I hear anything that is an issue
or a problem I'll try to point it out for you.
You know in terms of the difference in your score between getting sometimes a 6.5 another time an eight.
It could be as simple as you answered part number two wrong or you didn't do well in part number two.
You don't normally normally that's the part where people either hurt themselves or helped themselves.
So lomba Alison today and in our house see if I hear anything anything they can do that really jumps
out to me as well could have been a potential problem.
All right.
So let's go ahead and get started.
I can sense that.
OK.
So would you please tell me your full name and non-chess and name me which we actually did at the time
she finishes in the morning of OK.
And is that name very popular in your home country.
Yeah it's very popular.
It's fun.
Among the most common names actually now girls are named.
All right.
Have you ever thought about changing your name.
No.
I'll do my name and say I want to have it for the rest of my life.
All right.
And what do you think about people who do decide to change their name.
OK.
In fact some of the name seems very strange to the others.
They do for Ray's family and put those who have been named in trouble whenever they mention their name.
There is an arm over their name so I think in that case it is justified that they can change their names.
OK.
Are you Curly.
Do you Curly have a job.
Or are you a student.
Know I'm I'm going to have a job I'm actually an existing professor in a Saudi Arabian university teaching
medical student.
OK.
What specifically do you teach.
I do teach them a subject known as internal medicine it is it's a branch of medicine in general and
in particular internal medicine it deals for us it seems like neurology which is a disease of the nerves
and haematology disease of the blood and gastroenterology with Dale's face.
Complaints are asked to sign a complaint.
OK.
And do you like to work alone or in a team.
Oh I do prefer to work in a team.
I used to work in an emergency team in my home country tonight and I love to be in a team.
People are afraid to share things with you like this.
And so even the moment of sort of we we tend to feel high.
Are there any disadvantages to working on a team.
For every single life is an advantage and a disadvantage and definitely the business of funding being
a team which is not going to be there.
That's to say there's a lot of conflict where one wants to follow his own way without listening to the
other is such conflict.
But if you have got a very good team leaders say since fear is often things would be for people OK.
Are you living in a house or an apartment.
Currently I'm living in apartments which is a five bedroom Park.
Today was nice kitchen and a very comfortable living room and a dining.
And I have got to use the bathroom as well.
The problem with my apartment it is frequently in our body because I am living in a frontline area I'm
living currently at don't.
What is the war between Yemen and soothe your baby.
Sometimes you get a lot of noise.
This is the bad thing about it.
OK.
All right.
So one thing that you want to be careful with is that you you kind of stay inside the question.
Right.
The question was do you live in an apartment or house.
And then you can at the end kind of went off into what you like or what you don't like about it.
OK.
But you want to make sure they that you it's OK to extend your answer.
But when you extend your answer just stay inside then question.
Do you live in an apartment or house.
OK.
So if I were standing from the outside how does your apartment look.
It looks like a two story building from the fountain and actually there was no leaves no brains no nothing
nothing.
It's just stone and bricks.
You can see.
You can see this is very tiny.
When this was no movie by the coldness or over the.
And it doesn't look that much to look from outside.
It's the difference.
OK.
All right.
And if you were looking outside the window of your house what would you see.
I'm just going to show you the street which is not normally or not.
Not at all.
OK.
Then the question is is this that much.
Is faith that is just history.
And we're very few that we can walk on and also very few cars and I can look ahead in front of me.
There was a market for that.
And on the other side there is a garden actually is a deserted one.
Nobody's home.
OK good.
And what you want to keep in mind is your job when you're doing this test.
Your job is to just show your ability with English right.
So don't don't worry about it what I ask you a question about what's outside your window.
If there's nothing outside your window make something up.
OK.
All right.
But I did actually because it wasn't anything was OK that's good.
But you know what.
I didn't know the difference.
I don't know the difference but what but what.
But if you if you if you make something up or you create something fictional you're going to be able
to show me your vocabulary ability your command of the language your command of being able to describe
things around you with vocabulary words and sentences.
Right.
And so you're trying you're at your job.
It's always important to remember what your job is.
Your job is.
Show me your English ability.
Right.
And so it is no it doesn't matter about if it's fictional or or truthful it doesn't matter.
Just just do the best you can.
So far you're doing really good.
Sometimes you forget to stand.
But when you do extend your answer you're doing a really good job.
You have to remember to do that and remember to make sure that you stay inside the question because
sometimes students don't realize and that when they hurt themselves is they say well I talked a lot
I talk a lot.
Well did you spend a lot of time talking about stuff is not related to the question right and so it's
sort of like you know when you're you're talking to somebody you ask them a question about you know
how was your day.
And they start they start talking about some other subjects unrelated to that you know so you want to
make sure you always stay related to the question in your answers because that's a way that you can
realize at your youth that you may not realize that you're hurting yourself all right now you do have
some good.
You do have some grammar issues but you get your grammar issues are dealing with.
I hear some things dealing with subject verb agreement like you comes of saying like we have five bedrooms
should be five bedrooms.
Article placement.
You know you said I have a large kitchen it should be I have a large kitchen and things with your bedroom
in it with your with your beaver.
See what did saying there is and in which to see it but it was you said there is and it should have
been.
There are.
So those are like basic.
Those are basic form grammar mistakes.
Right.
That sort of thing.
And I know if I gave you a grammar test you know the rules.
Right.
But you just you just have to really apply them better.
OK.
You got you have to do a better job of really applying your rules better and the better the more you
the more you apply those rules and you're rid of those basic mistakes.
You're going to help yourself.
And in terms of the difference in your score you have to keep in mind the speaking section is subjective
and so different graders have different things that impressed that that and that impress them or make
them look more negative on a student.
So if I'm greater where grammar really matters to me more if I hear somebody making a lot of grammar
mistakes that's going to make me grade them lower.
You might have another grade or any occasion.
Yeah you might have another grader who thinks more about you know the the the the fluency and the pronunciation.
And that impresses them more.
Right.
So even though they all have the same grading rubric even though they don't have all they all have the
same grading chart we are all still human beings.
Right.
And so don't necessarily feel so bad about you know where I got to six points I want to give aid.
It could be of any number of reasons why that could be a possible reason why but your job is just to
work on the things that you could work on to make sure you give your best effort.
And one of those things that you're going to have to work on is trying to clear up some grammar issues.
OK.
All right.
So let's keep going.
I'm going to move on.
And I would like to talk to you about presents.
OK.
Do you do you like presents
Raven.
I think everyone likes to have a present together present but what sort of presence is important to
you.
I think the present is meaning the present friend and actually the value of the present a present from
my husband whatever it is small for me is just like a new car and I have a small but the matter is is
the way the present is given.
And then it is it is given to give him to the other side as well and give you a very nice feeling.
You feel the happiness in the faces of people you are giving them for especially that they need it.
So not remember I want you to stay focused on the question.
The question is specifically about you not about other people so says Do you like presence.
OK right.
So this is one thing the other that you've got to make sure you focus on right stay inside the question
OK because you can give a nice you can give beautiful answers.
But if half of your answer has nothing to do with the question and you're not helping yourself
right now you're very fluid and your pronunciation is good but you just kind of have a tendency sometimes
to go in a different direction on a question all day long.
Yes.
And I need you to stay on the right side of the road.
Don't go on the left side of the road stay on the right side of the road.
All right stay stay in the same path of the question.
Now what do you like most about presence
I like the emotional value it and I think it gives me great pleasure to to to have presence because
it means that somebody is thinking about me.
It's about me and that's what this medium.
All right.
And could you please describe a gift that you didn't like.
I well the point of getting a present whenever you like it or you don't like it.
You feel better of having it.
But I have never ever in my life seen a gift which I really didn't like.
Everything which is offered to me.
OK.
All right.
That was OK.
You did OK.
I got this.
Keep in mind.
Truth doesn't matter.
OK.
I choose to.
Does.
Have to make something like a bad presence and tell us that Monday is fictional.
It's fictional right.
I have.
For example I'll make something up right now.
Most gifts that I've gotten in my life I've absolutely enjoyed IVAX absolutely loved them especially
if they come from my wife.
But I do recall this one time my cousin gave me a shirt that he knew was too small for me and I absolutely
hated that shirt because it didn't fit me very well and he insisted that I try it on in front of in
front of everybody and they laughed at me because I was wearing a shirt that was too small.
Wow.
OK.
I think it's it's from me I think to.
Yes.
I mean is this just not you know is this just just sometimes don't get caught up in to some.
Sometimes what happens to us when we're taking a special exam like Dial's exam is when we try to remember
something from our past.
It causes the pause and the hesitation.
And sometimes when you're trying to go back in your memory that can affect you which is much different
then.
Well let me just say something.
Right.
So I mean is that something that should get better at with practice.
Right.
You get better with practice in terms of just just giving fictional answers sometimes especially if
you don't have information about something.
Sometimes people say well what if I don't have any information about the topic.
Then you make it up and then I'm going to be there.
No.
I know you don't have to.
You don't have to.
You don't call yourself a liar.
You can call yourself if you call yourself a storyteller.
Right.
OK.
Yes.
Yes just like just like when people make up movies or books or anything else is all fictional.
All right.
Now let's move on and talk about eating.
Could you please tell me about your eating habits.
OK.
I like eating certain types of food.
What.
