IELTS Speaking Part 3: Hobbies (Band 8)

[@bluesea_11]

waw . she is speaking very well ...I think we need more speaking test band 8 ... thank you 4 the video

[@wshingyuen]

I feel this lady should get band 8.5 or even 9

[@NiazMohammad]

She is a very natural speaker, it is important to give the impression that you're relaxed by smiling or laughing at times when it's appropriate and also make the examiner feel at home that way :p Take control of the situation and don't let it control you.

[@kudutvlilamaniacharya4114]

can we talk in Skype ?

[@KS-tz6hm]

1:39 increasingly getting less and less (unusual collocation) 1:48 Isn't that what it was before (grammar) 1:55 survive is unclear but acceptable (accent generally is good but has some effect on clarity) 2:27 It's depending on what your hobby is (It depends on what your..) 3:26 Casual (pronunciation) 3:38 It could be (It might be/ It might do) 4:08 would neglect family. Notice the examiner asking more probing questions and using idiomatic expression. This is to push and challenge the candidate more.

[@Azeke777]

Thanks for bringing clarity!

[@ambition7793]

Thank you

[@1989PinkButterfly]

She is so intellegent

[@mainsaddamhussain4323]

[@dacooooo]

Well, She's German

[@Blackeye69793]

Hello, I had a band 8 at speaking and frankly said - I don´t really know how did I manage to get such a score. What I can really recommend is this: be always confident guys! Because I think, this won me the race.

[@mougaref]

hello, i passed speaking test today ....was quite good i hope. questions was easy i think......1st part started by describe my home and favorite room, then talk abt teachers and favourite one, then if i still in touch with my teachers, after that , my favourite colour and why, in 2nd part , that card talk about something i did with a group of friends: what was that, and where and why i enjoyed it, 3rd part was about free time .. and childrens and then work in groups, and leaders if they are important. then the end .. sorry about mistakes, i just wanted to share. FRIENDLY

[@АкботаАрыстанбек]

[@mougaref]

Акбота Арыстанбек yea why not its lighthouse17

[@1993freeze]

[@larkthesinger]

loyal family lol

[@arazmed]

[@MetalDetectingRussia]

araz aliyev Competely agree. LOOK: postimg.org/image/aq89esaq5/

[@gildardobarrios3115]

Both Of them are funny maybe because Of their accent , l liked this video.

[@samirpudasaini5946]

reaaly she deserves more than that........ her speaking and presentation is so good.......

[@vishnuprakashr]

I loved the frankness and thoughts, and of course her cool self (if that is the right word). Didn't feel like an interview more like a tete-a-tete. Kudos.

[@tolmachevatatiana]

IELTS Speaking band descriptors say that to get 9 a candidate must: • use a full range of pronunciation features with precision and subtlety • sustain flexible use of features throughout • be effortless to understand in short, a candidate has to sound as a native-speaker As for Band 8, a candidate snould be easy to understand throughout; L1 accent is allowed but it has minimal effect on intelligibility. All this is true for the lady.

[@diamondwhite3690]

She is so smart and can react very quickly!

[@emutemusic]

Yes! Great, loved the video ! Music is the best invention of our species isn't it? I'm so thankful to be a musician!

[@valdemarkrug]

I'm from Moscow and I got Band 9 on my first IELTS attempt. I can record a video if you're interested. I found Writing to be the only unfair part of the test. The requirements are simply too narrow and don't fit the definition of what passes for good writing in the academia. I got 7.5 for it, which brought my overall mark down to 8.5. I imagine it's because I was unaware of some ridiculous standards that I could only know if I attended a preparatory course. I feel slighted.

[@IELTSTEACHER365]

In order for your essay to get Band 9 in IELTS, it needs a 9 in every single criterion. Band 9 in Task Achievement means that you've fully addressed all parts of the task and your position expressed in your answer is completely developed and includes relevant ideas which you wrote at length about. Band 9 in Coherence and Cohesion means you have structured your essay correctly in terms of using paragraphs and you've achieved cohesion effortlessly, without drawing attention to it. To get Band 9 for Lexical Resource you need a variety of higher-level vocabulary, but the way you use it has to be natural; your errors, if any, must be rare and hardly noticeable. Band 9 for Grammatical Range and Accuracy comes from using a wide range of sentence structures correctly, accurately, and flexibly. You can visit: If you like the content.

[@kampiuben]

Thanks for your reminding all the time when i need to understand the clues to obtain a higher for the speaking test. Of course, to achieve my goal isn’t very easily to practise but to find a right solutions to ensure that i have to reduce some unnecessary conversations to the inteviewer. Unfortunately, my limited range of my brain status always think about my current English where i used to be learnt from my country. Frankly speaking. I am really afraid it is impossible to achieve a higher grade when examiner find out my personal problems of speaking English more ashamely.

[@yangxiao2]

just 8? i think she is sooo good.

[@thithanhthuyle6053]

She just speaks fluently....I mean there are many persons used many hard structure in speaking than she did. But they just get band 7.....She did not use complex sentences or academic words but she speaks fluently, that's all !!

[@Verex13]

Oh my God, she speaks very influent. So good!

[@Alex4u]

She's quite fluent in English (needs to work more on her pronunciantion) no hesitation at all. I dislike the examiner, so boring!

[@lionardchristian]

1:07 give the examiner a bongo 😂😂

[@robinjoseph1678]

She's very fluent

[@batuhansungur6538]

thank you for uploaded this video Tatiana. I am currently tutoring a young gentleman and videos like this definitely help.

[@btcostarouleau4170]

She was brilliant! No matter how hard I work on my improving I will never be able to speak that fast, using complex and intelligent expressions in such overpressuring (and I don't even know if this word exists lol) situation. There's no way I'm able to get a band score 8 if that's the fluency required to reach it. My accent is much better than hers. But she takes me down in all the other abilities. Besides, I'm afraid that my anxiety will screw up my chances! What happens if the subject picked by the examiner is not familiar to me? I've watched many samples where the examiner asks things like politician or sports for example and I simply know nothing about it! I hate sports and politician would be tough for me to talk about even if I was being argued in my own language. Under this situation, what will I be supposed to do??? Anyone to answer it?

[@gocrazy5981]

Her accents are little difficult to understand for me. but she is very good at speaking.This is proper score I think.

[@aidahuseynova2639]

İ want to hear his last sentence "and that's the end of the speaking test".By the way, she talked very fluently.Great job

[@gherdaiulian]

It's obvious that we see things different. I, for instance, when I intend to learn a foreign language, I want to speak it like native speakers. That's why I wrote my comment like that. But, in the end, it's just my opinion.

[@reperistol]

Thank you so much for Sharing. I'm planning to take IELTS (General) on 18-Oct-2014 and targeting to achieve at least Band 7.0 for individual, Any Good Tips to follow ?

[@Tariqmostafiz]

she did well although sometimes she was unclear but overall she did tremendous perform

[@MyRam70]

Where can I find such a kind examiner?I spoke better than this applicant,receiving 5.5! very very tough examiner I had.I had several record of 7.

[@yasser19e]

Well , to sound as a native speaker , you must get rid off any accent you have , and that's really challenging !!

[@vaibhav4902]

if you speak English fluently and clearly with out any hesitation then you can easily score a 8.5 or 9 if it is a easy topic to you

[@tolmachevatatiana]

Self-corrections can be made but not many.

[@ausprabin]

hey mahmoud refaat i also want to practise more for the IELS .

[@imambukhsh3416]

8 is right score for her

[@samald5525]

"the majority of sentences being error-free''. does this mean, like, if 50-100% (roughly speaking) of my sentences is grammatically correct, then I get 8.0 band for grammar range and accuracy?

[@KS-tz6hm]

If the examiner doesn't grade his/her language, it means he/she thinks you are at least a 7.

interesting and unique pronunciation.

[@danielmoralessolorzano1918]

what does anchor point mean? does anybody know? I'v never heard something related. is it something with balance?

[@nblumer]

The IELTS examiner is asking question off the template script and giving feedback which shows this is a fake exam. Examiners generally stick to the script and giving feedback like that is not allowed

[@alisherri77]

It maybe be example , not the real test.

[@huongphamviet9356]

If only i could speak like this ...

[@gogansaggu]

without use of vocabulary how many bands i get with correct grammar and fluency,,,,,,,,,,,

[@abirarya2]

I would give both of them 5 bands if not less

[@mehravamhed5418]

[@alisherri77]

How was it

[@altajralhazen6962]

thanks that is brelent

[@pedrojulio1960]

why do you think these hobbies are so popular? I wouldnt know even in my native language how to reply that, just inventing a lie.

[@jushemoralesd]

I think that she deserves a high grade but on the other hand her tone of voice is flat and also speaks too much words which could show some nervousness

[@llayukawallagain]

OMG! how can she breathe?

[@Mr1Largo]

she's not bad.

[@thanhnhan139]

well done ! adorable

[@gherdaiulian]

She doesn't pronounce words with a very good English accent, she has the advantage of speaking fast enough but sometimes it seems that she's in a hurry. But I think that the biggest disadvantage is pronunciation of words (notice that she speaks with her mouth almost closed, it's true that she has a small mouth but still.....).

[@SoniaLeli]

What is wrong with this candidate? Why did not she get a nine?

[@tolmachevatatiana]

She has a slight accent. For Band 9 she had to have a native-like accent. See the description below the video.

[@raoufx7274]

80-100% i guess
