Fluency and Coherence: 8 Pronunciation: 8 Lexical resources: 6 Grammatical range and accuracy: 6 … This is how she got overall of 7 … It is funny how people think if you speak fluently with good pronunciation then you will get 9! Other areas are considered such as lexical resources, and in this video most of vocabulary used were simple, basic and repetitive. Also, she made so many grammatical mistakes almost in answering each question, though she did not use a wide range of structures. Even her cohernce was not always adequate. Her transition between ideas and sentences was not smooth she kept repeating (and… and… also… ) - To me, I would give her: 7 for coherence and fluency 6 for lexical resources 6 for grammatical range and accuracy 8 for prnunciation Overall: 6.5
I'm an English and IELTS tutor and this is my opinion on the video. She speaks very clearly, and her tones and intonation are generally good, however, there are many grammatical errors. I watched half the video and found 14 errors. If you rewatch the video, you can pick them out yourself: 'I stayed at home' 'I have to go to trip to York' I enjoyed most You just relax out of the whole week You just need peace, relax ‘I have great taste of music, I like too arabic music. I have to listen to music all the day' ‘The new music’ ‘I feel always’ ‘The special gift I gave to my mother’ ‘in the mother day’ ‘To search for what am I going to give my mother’ ‘I decided to take a very lovely necklace’ ‘in a very coloured papers’ Remember, these small errors add up and will affect your band score. I will pick out two simple errors to fix: 'I feel always' - 'I always feel' - remember, adverbs (always) always come before verbs (feel) 'I decided to take a very lovely necklace' - she decided to buy the necklace- take implies she stole the necklace. Good luck with your exams! :) Victoria
Rumen Filipov If you expand my post, Rumen, I made a list, in sequential order. If you read the list and listen to the video you should be able to hear where these mistakes are.
wow she's a perfect speaker she speaks English so softy and clearly and she doesn't have any confusing when she speaks i wish i had someone like her to speak so will observe my English so much
Thank you so much! I'm taking the exam the day after tomorrow and I was really scared before I saw this video. I guess we overstress a bit when we are going to do something as important as this and don't realize its just a normal conversation. Again, thank you!
This is a really good example of an interview. I loved it and got to learn quite a lot. Thank you for posting this video. Please do post more. Thank you. I scored 6 Band, just because I was so nervous that I blew it, but it does not mean that my expression of English language is really of that level. People do make mistakes and I really do not personally like the concept of conducting this IELTS exam, but I do recognize its Importance as well.
I really like the composure of the examiner. he smiled often and made the whole speaking session fun for the candidate. I just do hope many other examiners are like him. I think that will even make a candidate feel relaxed if he is nervous.
Indeed it is extremely meaningful from the individual , family , up to international , that what happening in any gift or recognize , it is making the sense of that their are great persons recognize each other while living hard dark life . Thank you so much
She's got a nice accent and she speaks quiet naturally for me... the thing is she said some things that are grammaticaly wrong. If she had prepared herself more for the test, I'm sure she would've had a better grade...
When he asked whether her music preferences had changed, she said that they changed, and then she said that she was still listening to what she did before. When she was talking about the present she said ‘and I hide it..’ in the Present Simple instead of ‘and I hid it’! ‘She was really happy very much’ (too many emphases)
i like this is seven, as i'm about the same level (;)) and i need to score 7 in all parts. i just usually get confused quickly when i need to think of something. like this example and then you have to talk about it for two minutes! wow, lots of vocabulary and paraphrases for sure :)
Great effort by this Young Syrian woman.Yet if she did a little bit more study and training she could easily lift her score. Her words and sentences did flow and I think that is a great achievement for some one who English is a 2nd language. Note as an English speaker I would say Mother's Day not Mother Day.
Lol 😂 when they get a native E speaker Like me I take the public bus instead of my car to listen to natives however they always been 12 to 18 age so they said “like” every two seconds
Thx! :) If anyone needs to ask me about my experience please feel free to ask. I was watching this video like all of you before writing the test, and was very worried before my speaking test!! So I know how everyone is feeling.. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!
well down Sawson. You spoke very well and confident at the test. I am watching this video in 2012 and I am very sad for Syrian people right now. I do not know where are you or what are you doing right now?! But I pray for you, your family and all Syrian. I hope Syria get free and peace come back to it very soon.
I was wondering why she only got 7 for such an amazing English in the beginning but the penny was dropped by the time she started talking about the given topic (i.e. the gift in this video) and I thought she could have done a bit better with the articles, tenses and words order. Overall, it was a very good test and she was pretty up to scratch for the score.
really she was excellent , meas she was perfect specially that she illustrate that she was enthusiastic for making surprise her mother to giving gift to her . i wish i also face such as question .
Do you enjoy weekends now more than you did when you a child? How important it is for you to relax at the end of the week? What sort of music do you usually enjoy listening to? How's the kind of music you like changed over the years? Do you prefer to listening to live music or recorded music? Do you think listening to music help your study?
hi fri, can upload the listening test (audio) of "Official IELTS Practice Materials 2" on this. I have the file but it was damaged. Thank in advance:-)
really nice video. she spoke as if she was chatting with a friend, pretty cool and confident. I liked the smile on her face, this in a way shows that she is not tensed.
GREAT EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING TEST AND IT SHOWS YOU THE WAY HOW CAN AVOID TO REPEAT AGAIN THE QUESTION OR TRY TO FIGURE OUT TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE IN IELTS EXAM.
If she gets 7, who gets 9? Obama?
hhhhhhhhhh, it's quite difficult to get 9 in this shit test even if you're a native speaker as far as I know :)
Neither Obama
hi here. i would like to practice speaking for ielts too. who like to "Face Time" with me ??? :)

I like the way the Ielts staff smile, he has such a cute smile. A calming invigilator.
I think dude gave her 7 for being beautiful and having candid vocals :D
7 is too low for her
ya, can get 8.0 at least
Fluency and Coherence: 8
Pronunciation: 8
Lexical resources: 6
Grammatical range and accuracy: 6
…
This is how she got overall of 7

@@Doctor_Fifa your rank is quite objective. But, don't you ever think about additional 0.5 for her attractive appearance :)

Ok. Thank you very mach Victoria. It seem that you are very good teacher ;)

Thank you so much! I'm taking the exam the day after tomorrow and I was really scared before I saw this video. I guess we overstress a bit when we are going to do something as important as this and don't realize its just a normal conversation.

Sinara M. I agree
I just Focused on Her Smile and her Beautiful voice 😊
Am I the only one who think this girl is very pretty? I think the auditor would certainly enjoy talking with her.
So many ideas for a word unique, gift. Cool.
Teacher "what u ll do next weekend?? " lolzzz
She's so beautiful,so sweet =D
your face looks so serious and lovely lols
the moment even he smiles , cool sis
Yeah...Pretty Smile :)
She and her voice are so beautiful.
i admire her so much
I just wacthed 2 band 7 videos and the quality of speach was so different!
so beautiful
thanks for this video
"this video a hundred years at lunch" :D
This girl is so beautiful ... She deserved at least 8.
she's so beautiful.
if anyone wants to talk for practice feel free to write me ,I'm aiming a 7-8 at speaking
she spoke so fluently and exactly. i wish i can do like her

When she was talking about the present she said ‘and I hide it..’ in the Present Simple instead of ‘and I hid it’! ‘She was really happy very much’ (too many emphases)
Her most fatal mistake was eye contact, she looked around the table and sometimes glimpsed to the right or left instead of looking at the examiner.
She is beautiful..
shes good at it.
she is better then the band 8
No!

Lol 😂 when they get a native E speaker

God, she is so beautiful. My exam is in 2 days. Thank you for sharing your experience, Sawson. Hope to meet to on the Inter- webs.
Hey bro ! What about Reading ? I'm taking the test on Jan 19. I'm so streesed !! Can u give me any advice on it ?
ماشاءالله تبارك الله خطيرة
i hope they ask me the same questions
fall in love...
Thx! :) If anyone needs to ask me about my experience please feel free to ask. I was watching this video like all of you before writing the test, and was very worried before my speaking test!! So I know how everyone is feeling.. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

I do not know where are you or what are you doing right now?! But I pray for you, your family and all Syrian. I hope Syria get free and peace come back to it very soon.
she didnt keep eye contact for a
while
i really like it this conversation
This is useful, thanks :)
amazing girl :P
she is really good
Hi Sawson , you really deed well. That's great:;
I got a 7 band in Speaking as well. I just believe she was too good!
'Oh' it's magnificent idea for me.
Great to practice before ielts..
I was wondering why she only got 7 for such an amazing English in the beginning but the penny was dropped by the time she started talking about the given topic (i.e. the gift in this video) and I thought she could have done a bit better with the articles, tenses and words order.

really she was excellent , meas she was perfect specially that she illustrate that she was enthusiastic for making surprise her mother to giving gift to her . i wish i also face such as question .
@hebasourkatti for speaking u can follow one book named ielts speaking 2007, matt clark....................thanks
She got band 7, it is one of speaking materials that IELTS used in one of the recent IELTS preparation materials.
she got my heart
I don't really know what I did in order to get 8.5, but I find this part of the exam absolutely the easisest
she did it awesome
She had no perfect eye-contact. For this reason she got 7
HAHAH..Pritam das You just echoed my thoughts..completely second you dude.This can never be worthy of 7
That reassures me. My test is tomorrow, I need 6 but I can't speak like her.
Oh god, when she started explaining the various types of AIDS to the examiner... I don't know how he kept a straight face.
The problem here I think it's that she had lots of aahh, mmmm. The eye contact is very important,
She did great even if she was a bit stressed.
eye contact definitely not to be one of the factors for accessing ielts speaking
She is very very beatiful..
Her score decreased to mere 7 because she could not speak the whole time given to her for cue card section. You can't stop, keep speaking...
thank u i learned a lot from her
Her smiling is very nice 🐤🐤🐤
Do you enjoy weekends now more than you did when you a child?
How important it is for you to relax at the end of the week?
What sort of music do you usually enjoy listening to?
How's the kind of music you like changed over the years?
Do you prefer to listening to live music or recorded music?
Do you think listening to music help your study?
She's covered almost everything, I think she deserved more than 7.
sometime examiners give unfair evaluation. It happened to me a lot.
hi fri, can upload the listening test (audio) of "Official IELTS Practice Materials 2" on this. I have the file but it was damaged. Thank in advance:-)
Awesome speaking.
hi i'm scared to even book slot. the more i'm browsing for tips the more i'm confused. pls help me
really nice video. she spoke as if she was chatting with a friend, pretty cool and confident.
I liked the smile on her face, this in a way shows that she is not tensed.
thanks for teh video I am going to take the test next two weeks
GREAT EXAMPLES OF SPEAKING TEST AND IT SHOWS YOU THE WAY HOW CAN AVOID TO REPEAT AGAIN THE QUESTION OR TRY TO FIGURE OUT TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE IN IELTS EXAM.
