Takeaways
- 😀 Введение в 6-серийное видео о подготовке ко 2-й части IELTS Speaking.
- 📊 2-я часть IELTS Speaking важна, так как экзаменатор оценивает вашу способность говорить длинными предложениями, поддерживать произношение и избегать ошибок.
- 🧐 Экзаменатор в начале 2-й части уже предполагает ваш уровень между двумя баллами и использует эту часть, чтобы окончательно определиться.
- 📝 Простой подход к подготовке ко 2-й части делит вопросы на пять категорий: люди, места, события, активности и вещи.
- 👥 Вопросы о людях можно структурировать, рассказывая, кто это, как вы их знаете и описывая их личность или внешность.
- 🌍 Описывая места, используйте сложные предложения, такие как 'можно найти' вместо простого 'расположено'.
- 🎉 Вопросы о событиях предполагают описание фона и обстоятельств, что позволяет использовать более сложные языковые конструкции.
- 🎸 Описание активностей требует объяснения процесса и возможных трудностей, что позволяет использовать идиоматические выражения.
- 🔍 Вопросы о вещах можно структурировать по их описанию, способу получения и использованию сложных слов, таких как 'высокие технологии' или 'современные'.
- 🕐 При подготовке ко 2-й части используйте минуту на планирование структуры ответа, придерживайтесь темы и не запоминайте весь текст.
Q & A
Почему часть 2 экзамена IELTS Speaking считается важной?
-Часть 2 важна, потому что в это время экзаменатор может расслабиться и внимательно слушать, как кандидат говорит на более длинные предложения, оценивая их уровень беглости, произношения, а также ошибок в грамматике и лексике. Именно на основе этой части экзаменатор принимает ключевые решения о вашем уровне.
Какую роль играет экзаменатор в части 2 IELTS Speaking?
-Экзаменатор в части 2 уже решил ваш уровень между двумя баллами (например, 5 или 6, 6 или 7). В конце части 2 экзаменатор определяет, к какому из этих двух баллов вы ближе.
Какие категории тем рекомендуется использовать для подготовки к части 2?
-Рекомендуется использовать пять категорий: люди, места, события, занятия и вещи. Каждая категория помогает структурировать вашу речь и использовать более сложный язык.
Как можно улучшить свои ответы в категории 'люди'?
-Для улучшения ответов в категории 'люди', вы можете говорить о том, кто этот человек, как вы его знаете, описать его личность или внешность, использовать сложные времена и идиомы, такие как 'I've known John for donkey's years'.
Как разнообразить описание мест в IELTS Speaking?
-Вы можете разнообразить описание мест, используя сложные структуры предложений, такие как 'It can be found', 'It's hidden away', а также добавляя детали о расположении и ощущениях от этого места.
Какие языковые средства помогут описывать события?
-При описании событий полезно использовать условные конструкции и выражения сожаления, такие как 'If I had known', 'I wish I had known', а также использовать разные времена, чтобы делать вашу речь более сложной.
Как готовиться к части 2, чтобы улучшить свои навыки?
-Для подготовки важно исследовать вопросы, практиковаться в записи себя на диктофон, анализировать свою беглость и ошибки, а также привыкать к двум минутам непрерывной речи.
Почему важно оставаться в рамках темы при ответе на вопрос?
-Если вы отклоняетесь от темы, это негативно скажется на вашей оценке по лексике, и экзаменатор может прервать вас, если сочтет, что вы выучили речь наизусть.
Какие стратегии помогут лучше справиться с волнением во время части 2?
-Перед тем как начать говорить, важно сделать глубокий вдох, взять небольшую паузу, а затем начать говорить, сохраняя контроль над ситуацией и временем.
Как можно использовать визуализацию для улучшения выступления в части 2?
-Визуализируя то, о чем вы говорите (например, представив отпуск на пляже), вы можете улучшить свою динамику и энергетику при выступлении, что положительно скажется на вашем результате.

hello my friend its Keith from IELTS
speaking success here to give you the
skills and confidence you need for the
IELTS speaking test
I'm really excited actually because I'm
beginning here a six-part video series
all about part 2 of the IELTS speaking
now part 2 is the part of the test where
I see so many candidates make mistakes
lose their confidence and it's all
downhill after that
that doesn't have to happen so I want to
give you a really simple framework that
will help you master part two so you get
the score you need let's get straight
into it
[Music]
so in this first video which is the
first of six I'll give you an overview
of this framework that will help you
master part 2 of the IELTS speaking test
now then what I will look at I'll
explain why part 2 is really important I
will then take you into the head of the
examiner so you can see what they're
thinking that this part and then I'll
give you this very simple framework
approach and today I'll be looking at
some questions from the recent questions
from 2019 and then at the end of the
video some tips on how you can Excel or
do really well in the part 2 and then of
course keep your eyes open for the next
five videos okay so why is part two so
important well because in part two it's
the first time that the examiner really
sits back and really listens to you they
don't have to start thinking of the next
question
they just relax and they're going to be
listening to see whether you can speak
in longer sentences can you maintain
your pronunciation over longer sentences
can you develop topics all of this is
important for fluency as well as
pronunciation but also they will notice
if you hesitate or if you make lots of
mistakes mistakes in vocabulary or in
grammar so it really is it's a key part
of the test also now let me tell you
what the examiner is usually thinking by
the time you get to part 2 the examiner
will have decided your level between two
bands so they'll be thinking you're
either a five or a six or you're a six
or a seven but they will have you
between two bands that's at the start of
part two
at the end of Part two you should be
they will have decided which one you are
you're a five or a six or you're a seven
or an eight and then part three is used
to validate and confirm that so if I
think at the beginning of part two
you're a five or a six and at the end of
Part two you're a six in part three I'm
then thinking let's confirm there are
six is that true or actually are there a
five or is it possible in some cases you
may jump up to a seven but that's
unusual you will normally stay within
that those two bands that they had at
the start of part two so part two is
really important to help the examiner
decide which level you are it's not the
final score of course remember that the
aisle speaking is across all three parts
but part two is the crux is where some
key decisions are made let's now have a
look at the framework approach now my
idea here is not completely original I
know quite a few schools and trainers
think of this and follow this idea and
basically it's to break down part two
into five categories but what's
different in these videos is I'm going
to show you a structure for each one and
the kind of language that can really
make you stand out and put you up at a
high band 7 or band 8 level each video
will look at one different category
today I'll have a an overview of all
five and the categories are people
places events activities and things okay
so let me look first at people so a
recent question was described a teenager
that you know well that's a person it's
about people and when we're talking
about people I think we can
talk about who they are how you know
them and you can describe them you can
describe their personality or their
appearance depending on the question and
I think these three you can normally
always refer to for example when we talk
about how you know them some of the kind
of language might be well I first met
John two years ago but notice how we can
make that a bit more complex I've known
John for donkey's years I have known
John present perfect to more complex
tense for donkey's years
a nice little idiom thrown in there I've
known John for donkey's years with
leveling up the language of in here or
you can use a more idiomatic expression
we go back a long time we go back a long
time means we've known each other for a
long time so this is just a sample of
the kind of language we're looking at I
will look at this in a lot more depth in
the next video now places for example an
open-air market you enjoyed visiting
so with places you can talk about where
it is how it looks what to do there and
maybe about how you feel about the place
okay so for example again with with the
language where it is instead of the
usual it is located in where everybody
says well it's located in London or it's
located in the north of the city change
it round a bit it can be found passive
tense nice it's a little-known place
that can be found you can build your
sentences it's a little-known place that
can be found in and building more
complex structures right or it's hidden
away in
so many places whether they're
restaurants or cinemas or bars maybe
they are hidden away in a little caught
in a little corner so think about the
language and the complexity about that
let's look at events events are well
things that happen so typically describe
a time when something happened maybe a
time you received bad service or maybe a
time where somebody didn't tell the
truth so these are events and I think
with events it's really good to talk
about this setting so the setting is we
often call the backdrop or the
background so it's where it is and what
was happening then
so not just where but what was happening
at that time so the setting where and
how something occurred that people would
be great to talk about right and also
how it happened or what happened at that
time
so here obviously you received bad
service you'll be talking about that
language-wise well when it happened
again we can be thinking about the tense
here I was doing bla bla bla
when bla bla bla happened so it's good
language but also you can start using
the if clauses if this happened today I
would do this conditionals it's more
complex or even express a regret if I
had known I wouldn't have or I wish I
had known and can you see how you're
getting more complex language just
talking about the what happened there
and think about the different tenses
that you can use I will go into a lot
more detail in the coming video on this
we also have activities for example an
activity you do when you are alone
maybe it's reading a book maybe explain
the guitar
maybe it's cooking that's what I do of
course you can talk about what you do
how to do it so most activities you can
explain how to do it how do you cook how
do you read a book maybe not but if it's
a sport or a game or a skill some kind
of activity you do you can explain how
to do it and talk about the challenges
because that will start bringing out
richer and better language you can see
my thought process right
my focus is always pushing up more
complex language looking for
opportunities for that right if you're
describing how to do it there are lots
of nice little idiomatic expressions you
can throw in it's a piece of cake it's
easy right anyone with a shred of common
sense can do it a shred is just a bit a
bit of common sense anyone with a shred
of common sense can do it or even it's
not rocket science
so idiomatic expressions also nice for
building up your language and vocabulary
finally things for example something
lost by others but found by you so
things I think you obviously you can
talk about what it is you can talk about
how you've got it so maybe you found it
you borrowed it you were given it it was
a present that you can be talking about
and a description so describing what it
looks like and that's where lots of nice
language comes out right for example
it's reddish or bluish or greenish so if
you're describing the color but not
exactly that color but a kind of blue
it's bluish
the shape square-shaped its round shape
towards pear-shaped so the language
again can be interesting or if it's a
technology item things like it's
state-of-the-art it's high-tech or it's
cutting-edge so you can build up some
really nice vocabulary when you're
describing things so this is an overview
of the five different categories that we
can use here for the part two questions
now I'm just going to flash at you some
of the recent questions and these are
2019 have a quick look and see if you
can put them into the different
categories can you see which ones are
about places yeah describe a place where
you read and write can you see which
ones are about people and things and
events now if you're not sure then
that's perfectly fine because actually
several questions could be different
categories and it doesn't really matter
some of them could be a thing and an
event okay some of them could be an
activity or an event it's all is not
always crystal clear for example
describe a unique holiday you took you
could think of a holiday as a thing or
it's more maybe an event for me if it's
a one-off holiday it's an event if it's
a regular holiday you take maybe that's
an activity so it's not important to put
them in the box but just to use the
boxes to help you just choose one and
help that structure and help you find
the language you need okay
let me move on to give you some tips for
part two now I talked a lot about part
two tips in other videos so I'm not
going into a lot of detail but just some
quick tips some quick wins that may help
you
first of all make good use of the one
minute preparation and for me I think
it's really important to use that minute
to get an idea
don't be thinking about two or three
ideas which one's the best the first one
you get that is okay not perfect but
okay go with it stick with it and then
move on to getting a structure think
about now what's the structure because
that minute it's gonna disappear in a
minute obviously so you need to use that
time well next in the preparation I mean
at home research the questions and you
can find the recent questions actually
on many websites I also have a list on
my website and think about that things
you could talk about start thinking
about the ideas next practice recording
yourself it's really good because two
things one you get used to speaking for
two minutes if you're recording yourself
and timing yourself secondly you can
listen back and you can evaluate several
things you can evaluate fluency are you
hesitating
you can even count how many times you
burn maybe you can't spot all the
mistakes but you can see if you're
developing your topic if you're
hesitating if there are big mistakes in
grammar you can usually notice when you
listen back so record yourself in the
actual test take your time so in part to
a lot of candidates rush into it and
grab a little bit and before you know it
they fallen over they're nervous
it becomes messy so at the start of part
two breathe take a second and then start
talking I'm going to tell you a time
when so being control of that space and
that time the first second or two makes
a big difference my next tip is to stay
on topic
you must stay on topic and talk about
the topic or the area if it's about
holidays talk about holidays if it's
about TV make sure you talk about TV so
stay on topic otherwise you will be
penalized
especially in your vocabulary it will
come right down because the examiner
will see your vocabulary as off topic
not relevant boom it'll come right down
and that'll affect your score also the
examiners have to let you speak the one
minute in part two but after that if
somebody is off topic or memorizing a
speech the examiner will cut them off
can cut them off and ask that follow-up
question so just stay on topic I also
find it's really good to try and
visualize what you're talking about so
if you're talking about a holiday get
the holiday in your mind the beach to
see the mountain and try and project
that image in your mind it will really
help your energy your dynamics when
you're talking makes a big difference
next one I'm just checking my notes is
to imagine you're telling an anecdote an
anecdote is a short personal story so I
don't mean you have to tell a story but
an anecdote is something you tell a
friend right last week I was I went
round to my grandmother's she's quite
old so I had to help her carry the the
shopping up the stairs
that's it that's an anecdote but what it
is is I'm not answering a question kind
of in what we call exam mode to the
examiner it's like I'm talking to a
friend and I'm telling you a story
something that happened to me when I met
my grandmother so try and give that
feeling it can imagine you're telling an
anecdote okay it's a short story to a
friend finally do not memorize your
whole speech for the reasons I said
above if you memorize your speech your
vocabulary school will come down
examiner willing to RuPt you after a
minute and you will have lost your two
minutes because you'll have only spoken
for one minute so don't memorize the
whole speech those are my top tips and
that is an overview of the framework the
five categories you can use to help you
kind of structure your talk and to start
thinking about especially the language
that you're going to use okay so people
places events activities and things keep
your eyes open for the next videos over
the coming weeks each one will focus on
a particular category and I'll be
helping you with structure and language
so it's a nice framework with some nice
language templates for you so keep your
eyes open that's it for today if you
enjoyed this video please do share it
tell your friends subscribe here sign up
for the notifications and look out for
the next one thank you very much for
joining me it's been a pleasure being
with you take care bye bye
