Hello there. My name is Lar Ryan and I'm an ex-IELTS examiner.

現在進行形

Today, I'm helping out a  little bit here at IELTS Daily.

So, today we have Marin from Japan and she's doing a full practice IELTS

speaking test. So, let's say you're not fully familiar with the format of the

speaking test, or the types of questions that you will get in parts one, two, and

three, as well as that. I'm going to give you a little bit more insight into how

the examiner thinks. So, I will be analyzing Marin's answers for fluency

and coherence, vocab, grammar and pronunciation, and giving you a better

idea of what the IELTS examiner is looking for.

Hello. Hello. Welcome to this practice exam conducted by IELTS Daily. My name is

David and I'm your practice  IELTS speaking examiner.

The questions in this test are designed to simulate the IELTS speaking test.

Let's start. What's your first  name, please? My name is Marin.

At the beginning of the IELTS test, you need to provide some ID usually your

passport but as this is a practice test there's no need for this today. Are you

ready to begin? Yep, I'm ready. Great. Well, let's talk about birthdays.

Do you usually celebrate your birthdays? Yes, I do but, um, I usually have

two birthday parties for my birthday. Uh, one for my family and one for my

actually enjoy my birthday party with my friends because they prepare me a lot of

presents and they usually  do like surprise events so

But also I really enjoy having  birthday party with my family because

you know, it's my family, so yeah. So far I'm very impressed with Marin's approach.

She's very confident, she's very relaxed, she's got a nice level of fluency, and a

lot of accuracy. Jst a few small mistakes with vocabulary so far and

those in particular were when she said, 'I actually enjoy my birthday party with

my friends.' Now, what that means is she has two birthday parties and she

actually enjoys one of them, but that of course is not what she was trying to say

because later on you might remember that she said she also enjoys the party with

her family. So what she actually meant to say

was, 'I actually prefer the party with my

friends.' So of course that means she enjoys both of them but the one with her

friends is the one she enjoys most. Nice and what did you do to celebrate

your last birthday? For last birth, for my last birthday, uh,

it was my 17th birthday and I actually got COVID

on my birthday so I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday but

just, just with my family, I did a birthday party.

And yeah it was great. Okay. What stands out to me after this

answer is that Marin has a  lovely level of pronunciation.

So we don't have what we would call 'flat pronunciation' because she is pronouncing

the stressed, the correct  stresses in the sentence.

So she said, 'I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday', and for a band seven and

higher we're looking for  this sentence stress. So not,

'I wasn't able to celebrate my birthday.' 'But I wasn't able to celebrate my

birthday.' And that's the type of thing that will

separate a student from getting a band six

or a band seven and higher for pronunciation.

And what are the most important  birthdays in your country?

most important... Like what age or what occasion? Oh.

celebrate you know, Japanese  people celebrate their

20th birthday because, um, it's like officially saying that you're, you have

uh, they wear traditional Japanese clothes, kimono, and they, uh,

have a big ceremony as a huge group, and they take pictures in front of the,

birthday. So this time we saw Marin struggle a little bit with the question

and she didn't actually understand what it means. And really that's not a big

problem but you cannot depend on the examiner to

explain it to you as David did. In the real IELTS test, so what should

you do? Well, instead of just saying 'most important birthdays', 'most important

birthdays', you have to ask the examiner directly. So you will say something like,

'what does most important birthdays mean?'  And if you ask, that's no problem. The

examiner will explain and it doesn't reduce your score. But it's really

important that you ask and don't wait for the examiner to help you.

And should children celebrate their birthdays every year with a party?

Yeah, I mean, uh, for me I guess I really enjoy having birthday parties not only

mine but for my, uh, I really enjoy having birthday parties, uh,

an adult you don't really get to  meet your family or your friends,

um, often so I think the birth, I think birthdays are the best time to gather

around and spend some time with your families or friends. So I think it's

really, yeah. So this time we saw that Marin needed to

pause a little bit and think about what to say. And really that's not a problem

at all. This is what naturally happens when we speak in any language. So if you

need to pause to think of an idea, don't start to panic, don't worry that your

score is coming down really quickly. The truth is that you're thinking of what to

say next, that's normal, and as soon as Marin had her idea, you could see that

her fluency was back to perfect again. So she did really well not to panic, just

give herself a moment to think about what she wanted to say, and then continue.

Now, this is a little bit different when you're pausing to think of vocabulary. So,

if you're pausing to think of a word, that does reduce your score more than if

you're pausing to think of an idea. Now, I'm going to ask you some questions

about going out. Where do you like to go out on the

around with my friends near my house because I really, uh, I live

come to the central part of Tokyo and they hang
