Good job!

[@teodora4990]

I loved his answers, I found them entertaining and unique and he made me laugh a couple of times. His calmness we envy as well. Also, in no way should he think of himself as not handsome, quite the opposite, if I may say. Chris, you are always so kind, we are very thankful for a teacher like you 🤗 🤍🤍

[@IELTSDaily]

Thanks Teodora and yeah, he's handsome.

[@ngwekhant7383]

Jonathan said he think of himself as not handsome mean he is a humble person. He want to show his identity as a humble person.

Great video! One thing I noticed while scrolling throughout the channel is that there is no Brazilian on those videos. I am preparing for IELTS test and although I am living in Brazil today, and I never realizes any mock tests, if you are interested we could do one of those mock tests via internet.

[@moisessantana9834]

I noticed that as well. I'd be very nice to have somebody from Brazil.

Hi Luiz! Will definitely try to get someone from Brazil. It was tricky with Covid, but hopefully soon.

[@suljooyoo6584]

I don't think Jonathan misinterpreted the question when it comes to taking pictures. His dislike of being photographed led to his lack of interest in photography. This means that he doesn't like either of these things.

[@IELTSDaily]

Good point

[@DP_T]

Couldn't hold my laugh when Jonathan talk about not taking photographs LOL

[@weiyuwang7029]

Hi Ielts daily, I'm a big fan of your channel and I'm also an Ielts taker who aims to get a band 8 in speaking. However, I've been preparing for 6 months now but I'm still stucking at band 7.5. I really wish that you could do a video about how to make a breakthrough in speaking from 7.5 to 8.

[@IELTSDaily]

Hi Weiyu, we'll consider it

[@appaufrancis3127]

Hi Chris, I found on the internet that "unrepairable" is usually used to describe physical objects, meanwhile "irreparable" is usually used for circumstances or relationships, is it true??

[@pvctarpaulin]

My anwser is quite same as Jonathan's for the question "Do you like taking photographs?"I guess most Chinese people are too shy to show themselves.

I think he say is adjust the angle of picture in chinese conprehension

Frankly speaking, IELTS Daily tends to give a quite generous score to all candidates.

[@IELTSDaily]

We work with current or former examiners who give us advice on scoring

[@matildawolfram4687]

First of all, I want to thank the author of the channel for making this beautiful and useful video for us! Many people are embarrassed to speak a foreign language if they have no speaking skills. People are afraid to hear criticism from others in their address. It all comes from having a psychological complex - to make a mistake. But, after all, he who does nothing is not wrong! In Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" states that we need to talk as much as possible: with yourself, with the mirror, with inanimate objects, with children and with pets. Find an interlocutor in real life or online. Talk without shyness. People won't care how you speak. They understand that you are a foreigner, as long as they understand you. They may even acknowledge your progress in their language and compliment you. However, always be prepared for criticism of your speaking skills. If you have the will to speak, you will gain an interesting interlocutor to consolidate your knowledge. Everyone is strewn with mistakes - don't be afraid to learn from them. As the Latin wisdom says, "walk and thou shalt not go astray". In the book "Polyglot Notes" by Yuriy Ivantsiv an entire chapter is devoted to the development of spoken language. Here you will find many useful tips and each student can choose a technique that suits him or her best! I wish you all the best of luck in your language learning!

[@IELTSDaily]

Great feedback and advice. Thanks for sharing :)

[@zardlucky8557]

IELTS test just want everyone to speak slowly and in a lower voice? I think in this way ppl can cover up their mistakes.

[@salamiond]

Dont think this level of fluency/presentation skills is enough for surviving an average UK/US classroom discussion. These language tests should focus more on the content of the speech produced, the candidate's body language and the overall vibes they give, rather than how much vocabulary they have. It is unfair to both local students and international students when you give such a high mark to a person whose communications skills don't suffice to make at least a few acquaintances with locals. Not only is it selling false hopes to these foreign students thinking they can fit into the local cultures, it is also degrading the local quality of education when lecturers/local students have to work around their incompetencies in their English/communication skills

Can you explain why? I need to know for study purpose please

[@CH-ce1rm]

Bullshit, this is not an example of a 8.5 speaking. 24:05 It always "take"? And you give this guy 9.0 on pronunciation even though he misses the S at the end. 24:12 "be regret" ????? I have never heard anyone says "be regret" in my life. Probably because it's not how you use it. And he scores 8.0 on grammar??? What about 24:37 "because they (short term plans) regulate your life"???? People "regulate" inanimate objects, not the other way around. This is a poor demonstration of word choice. But no, he's vocabulary is PERFECT! 9.0 it is! And what follows that sentence doesn't make sense either: "from being completely messed up" By what or who? You can't just use an expression that requires a following explanation and don't provide. This channel is a joke, completing inflating the scores. This guy is at best a 7. Stop inflating the scores. Natives who speak fluently and adequately can't score 9:kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5WWgaWrpbllrdU What a joke

[@IELTSDaily]

Hi CH. The exam allows for slips and mistakes (and a level of subjectivity). Your argument doesn't stand if you are alleging we 'inflate' scores, but yet argue that native speakers don't score full marks. If we were in the business of inflating scores, we would have scored Tom band 9.0. You provided some examples of grammatical errors, noted, but that doesn't preclude Jonathan from scoring 8.0. Check the band descriptors GRA band 8.0.
