WEBVTT 00:04.860 --> 00:14.100 OK so this is going to be the speaking test for Julia and Julia before we get started. 00:14.140 --> 00:16.250 Do you have any questions at all. 00:18.030 --> 00:18.830 No. 00:19.320 --> 00:20.170 No. 00:20.730 --> 00:21.220 No. 00:21.330 --> 00:22.510 OK you. 00:22.590 --> 00:24.860 Have you taken the highlights of them before. 00:25.800 --> 00:27.150 No I haven't. 00:27.150 --> 00:28.660 This is your very first time. 00:29.490 --> 00:29.940 Yes. 00:29.970 --> 00:31.150 This is the first time. 00:31.320 --> 00:31.900 OK. 00:31.920 --> 00:32.960 All right good. 00:33.030 --> 00:38.790 And so how do you feel about it. 00:39.000 --> 00:45.890 I feel ready prepared a little you know was as well. 00:46.050 --> 00:48.540 But I am ready to beg the best. 00:48.780 --> 00:49.840 OK. 00:49.880 --> 00:50.840 I like that. 00:50.940 --> 00:53.140 And why do you feel nervous. 00:57.290 --> 01:01.070 It's just that I have exam Zygi. 01:01.370 --> 01:12.050 Usually when I take some exams especially like I say exams or do exams in the past I would have a little 01:12.920 --> 01:15.280 anxiety just before that. 01:15.610 --> 01:19.080 And what makes me what do you normally do. 01:19.100 --> 01:21.810 What do you normally do to combat that anxiety. 01:23.380 --> 01:27.390 Actually I don't prepare two days before the test. 01:27.430 --> 01:39.110 I just relax go out and you know how some the nerves are go out and play or talk to friends. 01:39.220 --> 01:41.330 And then how very good night to. 01:43.000 --> 01:45.410 That helps me be dang right. 01:45.800 --> 01:46.430 OK. 01:46.450 --> 01:47.610 That's that's pretty good. 01:47.740 --> 01:50.690 That's that's that's actually a pretty good one. 01:51.430 --> 01:56.640 So that means that means you're means you are very well-prepared in order to do that which is good. 01:56.710 --> 01:58.930 That means that you're very well-prepared. 01:58.930 --> 02:11.020 The only the only thing that I would add to that would be just to only speak English OK. 02:11.350 --> 02:11.920 Yeah. 02:11.920 --> 02:20.320 That is something I'm not doing right now because my mother tongue is there Lou and I speak to my husband 02:20.320 --> 02:23.600 with daily rule already and I'm not cranky implied. 02:23.620 --> 02:26.640 So yeah. 02:26.650 --> 02:29.050 Nowadays I'm not speaking in English. 02:29.050 --> 02:30.960 Does your husband speak English. 02:31.750 --> 02:32.060 Yeah. 02:32.070 --> 02:36.830 He speaks English but we are used to speaking you know our mother. 02:37.200 --> 02:38.640 OK well that's great. 02:38.700 --> 02:44.720 Well then in that life you have no excuse when when is your test on. 02:45.240 --> 02:46.120 Good. 02:46.450 --> 02:47.000 OK. 02:47.000 --> 02:48.200 All right so you. 02:48.200 --> 02:48.670 All right. 02:48.680 --> 02:50.540 So you OK that's great. 02:50.540 --> 02:54.180 That means you have no excuse to not speak English all day. 02:54.310 --> 02:56.160 Yes yes definitely. 02:56.180 --> 03:01.510 I will take your advice and be implemented right away. 03:01.550 --> 03:04.440 Yeah like immediately like right away. 03:04.680 --> 03:05.370 Yeah. 03:05.660 --> 03:08.850 There's there's there's no there's nothing. 03:08.860 --> 03:15.470 And one thing that you can do even even though you're not taking the test right even though you're not 03:15.470 --> 03:21.680 taking the test when you when you're just when you're is over the next couple of days just talking to 03:21.680 --> 03:27.060 your husband just naturally just naturally give him really long answers. 03:28.180 --> 03:29.960 All right. 03:29.970 --> 03:35.540 You know so for example if your husband ask you if he says Gallia How is your day to day. 03:35.610 --> 03:38.260 Don't don't say my day was fine. 03:39.310 --> 03:39.830 Right. 03:39.830 --> 03:44.170 That didn't happen because that would be that would be a bad answer on the Isles exam just do you know 03:44.170 --> 03:47.010 just practice just give him really long answers. 03:47.380 --> 03:52.390 Well in the beginning of my day it was very stressful because we got to work and five people didn't 03:52.390 --> 03:52.900 show up. 03:52.900 --> 03:55.790 So there were a lot of pressure on me to be able to start my day. 03:55.930 --> 03:59.860 However when I got to the middle of the day it got a little bit easier because some of those people 03:59.860 --> 04:01.900 that didn't show up actually showed up. 04:02.060 --> 04:04.460 And so that took a lot of pressure off the rest of us. 04:04.480 --> 04:09.450 So by the end of my day I was feeling great and work was going very smoothly. 04:09.460 --> 04:12.190 So by the time I got home to you everything was good. 04:13.430 --> 04:14.650 OK right. 04:14.650 --> 04:23.310 Nice long answers to your husband very long answers only English rhyme only. 04:23.560 --> 04:25.970 You have to be very very strict about that. 04:26.200 --> 04:27.320 OK. 04:27.600 --> 04:28.490 Sure. 04:28.510 --> 04:29.530 All right. 04:29.530 --> 04:33.340 So we're going to go through the different parts of the test. 04:33.610 --> 04:41.570 I'm going to start you on part number one and then we'll move through it step by step. 04:41.770 --> 04:47.770 And if I hear any things along the way that I need to point out to you I'll point those things out to 04:47.770 --> 04:48.060 you. 04:48.160 --> 04:48.920 OK. 04:49.630 --> 04:50.950 Yeah definitely. 04:50.950 --> 04:51.540 All right. 04:51.580 --> 04:55.270 So could you please give me your full name. 04:56.690 --> 04:57.430 It is. 04:57.810 --> 05:02.080 I mean you are the OK. 05:02.170 --> 05:04.710 And what name would you prefer me to call you. 05:05.730 --> 05:06.470 It is Jack 05:09.440 --> 05:10.110 OK. 05:10.370 --> 05:12.590 And what does Jiah mean. 05:14.050 --> 05:17.680 Jayal means with three in our Maybe language 05:21.000 --> 05:21.720 OK. 05:21.960 --> 05:23.390 I saw one. 05:23.600 --> 05:28.210 One thing that I'm here already Jiah is you've got to extend. 05:28.320 --> 05:29.390 OK. 05:29.480 --> 05:32.650 So Jeyes OK. 05:32.770 --> 05:39.360 You mean like when you asked me the direct questions like What is your name Tobias and at that point 05:39.360 --> 05:48.340 on so if you wanted to me for example my you know my my full name is Jiah blah blah blah blah blah you 05:48.340 --> 05:54.060 know my my friends and my close friends and family like to call me just. 05:54.520 --> 05:57.830 So I'm fine with you calling me that. 05:58.010 --> 05:58.460 All right. 05:58.630 --> 05:59.830 I got that. 05:59.870 --> 06:00.960 So yeah. 06:00.980 --> 06:03.260 Jay I mean we Torrijos. 06:03.730 --> 06:11.820 So that's the name which my mom gave me during my book and people kept calling me and I got used to 06:11.830 --> 06:13.610 that name. 06:13.610 --> 06:16.530 And by golly at school they called me. 06:16.540 --> 06:17.350 Why me. 06:17.350 --> 06:21.830 The second name in the first name I see that's a better answer. 06:22.900 --> 06:28.660 All right because remember as an English test and so the degree to really shot this show that you can 06:28.660 --> 06:35.910 talk out right now is not really about what you're saying but more importantly by how you're saying 06:37.230 --> 06:43.760 I don't because I'm not I'm not as a great I'm not I remember all this stuff you say it. 06:44.150 --> 06:47.870 I will I will I will remember how you said it though. 06:48.930 --> 06:51.090 Adam OK. 06:51.220 --> 06:52.520 Now where are you from. 06:54.280 --> 06:57.700 I'm originally from southern Florida. 06:57.820 --> 07:01.460 I was born in a city called Vishakha. 07:01.780 --> 07:06.700 And then after that I moved to Hyderabad. 07:06.700 --> 07:17.170 My dad used to work at a government office and then my chain had happened in Hyderabad and at the age 07:17.170 --> 07:22.690 of 23 I moved to United States to pursue my masters degree. 07:23.010 --> 07:23.450 OK. 07:23.500 --> 07:26.860 And from there I have been living in the United States. 07:26.860 --> 07:27.400 All right. 07:27.400 --> 07:34.070 And how has your hometown in your country changed over the past 20 years. 07:35.410 --> 07:40.020 My hometown Hyderabad is a very good place to stay. 07:41.050 --> 07:44.760 But then I've been to my hometown recently. 07:44.830 --> 07:48.910 I have seen a tremendous change. 07:49.270 --> 07:58.280 Like I can see a contrast from my childhood to the current state of affairs in the home down. 07:58.360 --> 08:04.280 The traffic was nothing compared to right now. 08:04.480 --> 08:08.080 The traffic is actually horrible. 08:08.650 --> 08:16.320 But the other sightseeing places are ready if they can get the army getting them very well. 08:16.360 --> 08:20.700 And there are a lot of shopping malls. 08:20.830 --> 08:29.510 And of also the new IP offices the corporate offices. 08:29.690 --> 08:33.450 So this didn't exist when I was that child. 08:33.820 --> 08:35.060 And our Dodson's. 08:35.120 --> 08:35.560 All right. 08:35.570 --> 08:39.120 And all I can say that I'm in a change. 08:39.180 --> 08:39.720 All right. 08:39.720 --> 08:43.360 And do you work for study. 08:43.400 --> 08:46.130 I neither work nor study. 08:46.130 --> 08:55.020 Currently I'm on in my team and I'm unemployed but I'm actively looking for positions. 08:55.310 --> 08:55.920 OK. 08:56.150 --> 08:58.950 And in what area are you looking for a position. 09:00.950 --> 09:08.690 I am looking for positions in the I feel project management. 09:08.720 --> 09:19.500 Right after that I work as I develop or I the business analyst and I have said several roles in the 09:19.800 --> 09:28.710 area of the project management and development but I actually want to walk into the project management 09:28.740 --> 09:34.900 completely and then be able to progress my caveat in that yeah. 09:35.170 --> 09:35.870 Okay. 09:36.140 --> 09:39.420 And why why did you choose this field. 09:41.660 --> 09:49.430 I chose this field mainly because I'm very good at programming. 09:49.460 --> 09:57.230 I like to chord and be in the top of the technical field. 09:57.740 --> 10:00.090 It's very interesting. 10:00.090 --> 10:03.290 It's very interesting and challenging as well. 10:04.060 --> 10:09.140 So you know when you're doing a really good job of extending your answers just be careful with some 10:09.140 --> 10:11.970 of the questions you're forgetting to paraphrase. 10:11.990 --> 10:17.510 So for example say why did you choose that feel you might want to stop saying I selected this area of 10:17.510 --> 10:24.440 work because why not use the same words. 10:24.440 --> 10:25.960 No no no no. 10:25.970 --> 10:26.450 Yeah. 10:26.810 --> 10:26.990 Yeah. 10:26.990 --> 10:32.840 Because you're doing you actually you actually have no problem extending your answers but you are having 10:32.840 --> 10:36.420 a tendency to kind of repeat the same language of the question. 10:36.560 --> 10:44.390 And one of the hallmarks when you look at the band descriptor of somebody who's getting a score of 78 10:44.460 --> 10:52.470 or even higher is their able to paraphrase frequently or paraphrase effectively. 10:52.670 --> 11:01.670 So you're able to paraphrase paraphrasing shows a higher skill level in English because somebody that 11:01.670 --> 11:09.220 has a low level of English they tend to repeat the questions right back at the greater. 11:09.350 --> 11:12.180 And that's something you don't want to do. 11:12.210 --> 11:19.280 So the way you're starting off is more like a low level student but you're doing a great great job of 11:19.280 --> 11:21.510 extending so I can tell you're not that. 11:21.890 --> 11:28.520 But you just have to be conscious of just not trying your best to paraphrase so that you can help yourself 11:28.610 --> 11:29.750 and not hurt yourself. 11:30.790 --> 11:31.600 OK. 11:32.490 --> 11:40.680 All right here now that thing might have have you received any specific type of training for the work 11:40.680 --> 11:42.080 that you previously did. 11:45.450 --> 11:54.380 Apart from getting my masters degree in engineering seen I have done a couple of certifications in the 11:54.380 --> 12:03.850 IP area like a business analyst certification and CSM certified scrum master. 12:03.990 --> 12:15.800 I have taken some online courses in AWOS or Amazon Web Services web development and EEI. 12:16.830 --> 12:26.440 So I could say that all this prepared me for this your a very good answer. 12:26.750 --> 12:35.850 Now let's move on and we are going to talk about shoes. 12:35.990 --> 12:36.460 All right. 12:36.490 --> 12:42.720 How often do you buy shoes. 12:43.680 --> 12:45.950 I love my four very large. 12:46.050 --> 12:48.830 It's one of my favorite accessories. 12:49.110 --> 12:54.430 Oh I see people actually buy my shoes. 12:54.570 --> 13:01.000 In the modern stuff or in November when there's a Thanksgiving sale. 13:01.620 --> 13:06.540 Sometimes I do buy them on Labor Day as well. 13:06.990 --> 13:15.960 And I typically buy them my Macy's are online on the Amazon Web site. 13:16.110 --> 13:19.360 So yeah I love my shoes. 13:19.610 --> 13:20.040 Yeah. 13:20.180 --> 13:20.700 OK. 13:20.720 --> 13:28.980 When was the last time you purchased two shoes. 13:29.070 --> 13:39.370 So the last paid off shoes that were worn by me were in 2017. 13:39.390 --> 13:41.600 I remember them buying them. 13:41.820 --> 13:53.480 I remember them to be bought at the store in liks and then all I don't remember the store name though 13:54.480 --> 13:58.050 but this shoe a fancy kind of boots. 13:58.440 --> 14:03.230 There is a kind of emblem on the shoe. 14:03.300 --> 14:06.390 They were a nice pair of shoe OK. 14:06.660 --> 14:10.250 One saying that I want you to remember the truth doesn't matter. 14:11.510 --> 14:12.180 OK. 14:12.590 --> 14:12.980 All right. 14:12.980 --> 14:13.740 You're trying. 14:13.760 --> 14:18.220 You're trying to actually remember the last time you bought new shoes. 14:18.570 --> 14:24.870 And it does it you don't have to because you what you did was when you were trying to remember that 14:24.870 --> 14:32.560 you had more pausing and hesitation in your speech because you were trying to remember something. 14:33.250 --> 14:39.020 Right and it doesn't really matter in terms of they're not going to know you know the last the last 14:39.020 --> 14:42.230 time I bought a new pair of shoes was last week. 14:42.230 --> 14:50.090 You know it doesn't you know it doesn't matter when you when you know what was the actual time. 14:50.090 --> 14:55.670 So don't don't don't struggle and mess up other parts of your speaking score because you're trying to 14:55.670 --> 14:57.980 remember something specifically. 14:58.170 --> 14:59.270 OK. 14:59.680 --> 15:00.550 All right. 15:01.000 --> 15:09.290 Now what type of shoes do you normally wear. 15:12.890 --> 15:22.370 Oh there are a range of shoes I can only read but I actually like the casual shoes a lot. 15:22.520 --> 15:29.000 These are kind of shoes which you get at the department store. 15:29.600 --> 15:44.620 So the leading shoes like sandals plumbe and also the boots which are for a window rather. 15:44.670 --> 15:51.140 So these are the kind of shoes which I prefer depending on the weather condition. 15:51.320 --> 15:52.080 OK. 15:52.440 --> 15:56.930 And do you prefer comfortable shoes or fashionable shoes. 16:00.250 --> 16:08.800 Comfort is the most important thing when I choose my shoes or like I said before I had them depending 16:08.800 --> 16:10.720 on the weather. 16:10.720 --> 16:16.280 So like if it is a winter season I go for the ball. 16:16.600 --> 16:24.460 And if it is a summer season I just wear flip flops depending on the casual situation. 16:24.460 --> 16:28.090 But if I'm going to an office I wear the following. 16:28.950 --> 16:31.650 So yeah it all changes. 16:31.730 --> 16:37.700 But the situation and weather comfort is the most important thing. 16:37.830 --> 16:38.420 Yes. 16:38.430 --> 16:38.760 All right. 16:38.760 --> 16:41.800 Now let's move on and talk about sunglasses. 16:42.030 --> 16:43.080 Do you wear. 16:43.080 --> 16:44.940 Do you wear sunglasses. 16:50.460 --> 16:58.760 So when it is hot outside everyone needs to wear sunglasses because you need protection from the you 16:58.760 --> 16:59.820 need. 17:00.120 --> 17:10.260 And I myself don't miss that sunglasses when I'm going out or when I'm driving. 17:10.290 --> 17:14.830 It's very important for me that biproduct my eyes. 17:14.870 --> 17:16.930 Would you give someone a. 17:16.970 --> 17:19.640 Would you give someone sunglasses as a gift. 17:23.550 --> 17:27.380 I actually give them sunglasses to my friend. 17:27.690 --> 17:29.640 And she loved it. 17:30.030 --> 17:35.190 And she was actually thinking of buying sunglasses that season. 17:35.430 --> 17:42.040 And she was so surprised you can get the gift I have given her OK. 17:42.060 --> 17:42.810 That's a good answer. 17:42.810 --> 17:44.450 Did you just make that up.
