003（7.0）

So we can now get started. From here, it starts the speaking test. This is the speaking mock test of the International English Language Testing System taking place in Ross iOS Academy. The candidate is Annie's Handan. The candidate's number is 0143251. The Examiner is Mayhafi, examiner number 443533. Good afternoon, my name is Merit Musafi. Would you please tell me your full name?

Yes, my name is Anis Khandan.

What can I call you?

Anis.

Sure, can I see your identification?

Of course.

Thank you. Great, thank you. We can now get started with the first part of the exam. In the first part, I will ask you some personal questions. First, I'd like to ask about leisure time. What is your favorite leisure activity?

Well, I don't have a specific leisure activity, but there are three activities that I like the most: reading books, listening to music, and shopping. I like shopping as much as listening to music, and I love reading books because it takes you to another world.

What did you enjoy doing in your free time as a child?

Well, when I was a child, I spent my time going to English classes and exercising. I've been going to the gym since I was six years old, and I love exercising. But I'm not the only child; I have one younger sister. In summer, I read books.

And do most people in your country get two days off a week?

Yes, they do, because Fridays and Thursdays in my country are off. So, yes, and maybe they stay home or maybe they go out if the weather is good.

Now let's move on to talk about neighbors. Do you like your neighbors?

Yes, I do. Fortunately, I have good neighbors.

And are neighbors usually close to each other in your country?

Yes, they are. Most Iranians have a friendly and close relationship with their neighbors. They can support us emotionally, they can help us, or take care of our house when we travel.

How could your neighborhood be improved?

I think respecting neighbor rules can improve our neighborhood. For example, avoid making loud noises, don't expect something from them, and don't talk behind them. In general, maintaining a balance in our relationship.

Okay, thank you. Now let's move on to talk about pets. Do you have a pet?

No, I don't, but when I was a child, I had two yellow and pink chicks.

What is a popular pet to have in your country?

As I see, dogs are the most popular pets in my country, and I personally feel that the reason for this interest is dog loyalty.

Why do people have pets?

It's obvious that humans want to be social and be accepted by others. So I think people have pets to avoid loneliness and to have maybe one friend to walk, maybe talk, or listen to music with them.

Okay, thank you very much. Now we can move on to the second part of the exam. So, in the second part, I'm going to give you a card with a topic and you should talk about it for two minutes. Before that, you have one minute to think about what you're going to say and you can make some notes to help you if you wish. Do you understand?

Yes.

Perfect, thank you. So here's the paper for you to make notes, the cue card, and a pen.

Thank you.

Here you go.

You're welcome. So you should talk about an occasion when you lost something. Now you have one minute to think about this topic, and your one minute starts now. Okay, now your one minute is over and you may talk about this topic for two minutes, but do not worry if I stop you. Okay, you can start talking now.

Generally, I'm a careful person, but I don't know why sometimes it happens that you lose something and you probably can't find it. I think it was last month that I was training, and I was really exhausted and thirsty. I just got dressed in a hurry to get some water, and I put my sneakers there. When I got back, I didn't see my sneakers. It was a very bad feeling. I searched there very carefully but didn't find them. I asked my friends and classmates, but they didn't know. I just went and told the person in charge and couldn't do anything else. I just got home. After, I think, three days, one of my friends called me and told me to come here; I have important news for you. I just got there quickly, and I saw my friend. She said, "Anis, guess what?" and I said, "I have no idea, just tell me what happened." She gave me my sneakers. It was a very good feeling because those sneakers were a gift. That day, I thanked my friend, and I was a really fortunate person that day. It was a very good feeling.

Do you want to add more information?

Losing, I mean losing something is important, but losing somebody is more important than that. When I was a child, one time I lost my mother, and it was terrible, and I always remember that.

Okay, thank you very much. Now we can move on to the third part of the exam. So, if you can just give me the papers, thank you. There we go. So, in the second part, we've been talking about an occasion when you lost something, and now in part three, I want to ask you some questions related to this topic. Why do people always forget things?

Well, I think it's because I'm completely sure it's about memory. Maybe modern technology has weakened human brains, and people don't trust their memory to remember things. They force themselves to use technology to remember such simple things like birthdays or phone numbers.

And what would you do if you lost something?

Well, it depends on what I lost. But if it is an important thing, I will inform the police. But if I lost something like, for example, a pen, I will not do anything special.

And what is the best action to take if you find something?

As I mentioned, if you find something valuable, of course, you have to go to the police station. But if you find something that is not really important, like a pen or paper, I think don't do anything special.

In our modern world, people tend to forget their culture. What are the reasons for that?

Well, I think culture is everything. Culture is the way we talk, the way we eat, the way we dress. So, humans want to experience numerous things. Maybe this is one of them, I mean experiencing living with, for example, an Indian culture or a Chinese culture. That is exciting. But in addition, technology has a big effect on our lives. Presumably, TV programs attract us to other cultures.

Okay, great. In all civilizations, movies and plays about finding treasure or gold have always been popular. Why do you think it's been like that?

It's been very popular for the people because I think finding something that is valuable is enjoyable, especially when you are trying so hard to find it. It will actually change your life, your personality, your goals, and such books or movies will motivate you to try as hard as you can to make your own life.

Okay, thank you very much. Now this is the end of the speaking test. Now you can just take a breath and relax, and I'll need a few minutes to add up your score and then I'll give you the feedback.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, now let's get started with the feedback part. First, I want to talk about the first criterion in IELTS speaking, which is your fluency and coherence. In your fluency and coherence, I can say that the good thing in your answers is that you are able to develop the topic and give the answers to all the questions. Like in the first part, you gave me some shorter answers but provided explanations. In the second part, you covered the bullet points, and in part three, you gave longer answers. And you had some pauses, some self-repetitions, or self-correction, but it was all natural, and you didn't have many of those. Another thing I should mention, and another suggestion I have for you, is to use more connectives if you can. You used some simple ones like 'and,' 'so,' 'but,' 'because,' but other than those, you used some good alternatives like 'in addition to that' or 'however.' I believe that you have the potential to use more connectives, but whatever you were using was very natural, and you had the flow of speech in your speaking. Now, because of all the things I mentioned, you got a seven in your fluency and coherence.

We can now move on to the next criterion, which is your lexical resource, your vocabulary. In your vocabulary, I can say this is one of your strong points because you were able to use some collocations, and you had very good paraphrasing. For example, 'I got home,' 'I was fortunate,' 'a person in charge,' 'to have an effect,' 'to talk behind somebody,' 'maintain a balance.' This is very good; you are using these words and some collocations, some fillers, and boosters or discourse markers regarding your fluency and coherence. If you can use more idiomatic language, then you can boost your score. So you got a seven in your lexical resources, like your fluency and coherence.

Now to talk about your grammatical range and accuracy, the next criterion. In your grammar, you were using a range of complex structures, and by that, I mean subordinate clauses, conditional sentences, relative clauses, and compound sentences. But again, if you use more connectives, you can get the chance to use or make more complex sentences. For example, a mistake that many candidates make in the second part

 is that they don't understand what tense they should use. For example, they are given a cue card in the past, but they use the present tense to talk about it. Your problem in the second part was that as you were telling a story, you made some simple sentences, like simple, simple, and you linked them with the word 'and.' So you can still give a wider range to your structure. But generally speaking, in the three parts, you were able to use these complex structures. You just made a few errors with singular and plural, like you said 'most Iranian,' which is 'most Iranians,' or 'last month that I've been training,' but you should have said 'last month that I was training' or 'last month I, for example, trained,' so something about the past. It has nothing to do with the present that you use present perfect. Or 'when I was a child,' which is 'when I was a child.' So it's mostly with the problems, the minor mistakes that you made with the grammar. But you deserve a seven in your grammatical range and accuracy as well.

Finally, to talk about your pronunciation, your speech is really good and it's totally clear to understand. You just made a few mistakes with the pronunciation of the words. For example, 'close,' you pronounced it 'close,' and 'motivate.' One last point regarding your pronunciation is the word 'cause.' In our daily speaking, we can say it like that, 'I was happy 'cause I was hanging with my friends,' but in IELTS speaking, you should make sure to fully pronounce the words. You should say 'because.' So because of all the things I mentioned, you got another seven in your pronunciation. I just recommend you to listen to more English podcasts, movies, because it can help you with your intonation. At times, in some sentences, you sounded a bit flat. You can still have a better intonation regarding your word stress, your sentence stress. But generally, your score in your pronunciation is a seven.

Now, to wrap up, your overall band score would be a 7 in today's speaking mock test. But if you have any questions or doubts, you can ask me a question.

Thank you, it was great.

Wonderful. So I wish you the best of luck and have a pleasant rest of the day.

我们现在可以开始了。从这里开始进行口语测试。这是国际英语语言测试系统的口语模拟测试，在Ross iOS Academy进行。考生是Annie's Handan，考生编号是0143251。考官是Mayhafi，考官编号443533。下午好，我叫Merit Musafi。请告诉我你的全名好吗？

是的，我的名字是Anis Khandan。

我可以怎么称呼你？

Anis。

好的，我可以看一下你的身份证吗？

当然。

谢谢。好的，谢谢。我们现在可以开始考试的第一部分。在第一部分，我会问你一些个人问题。首先，我想问你关于休闲时间的问题。你最喜欢的休闲活动是什么？

嗯，我没有特别的休闲活动，但有三种活动是我最喜欢的：读书、听音乐和购物。我喜欢购物和听音乐一样多，我爱读书，因为它能把你带到另一个世界。

你小时候喜欢在空闲时间做什么？

嗯，当我还是孩子的时候，我花时间上英语课和锻炼身体。我从六岁起就开始去健身房，我喜欢锻炼。但是我不是独生子女，我有一个妹妹。夏天，我读书。

你们国家的大多数人每周有两天休假吗？

是的，因为在我们国家，周五和周四是休息日。所以，是的，他们可能呆在家里，或者如果天气好的话，他们可能会出去。

现在我们继续谈论邻居。你喜欢你的邻居吗？

是的，我喜欢。幸运的是，我有好邻居。

在你的国家，邻居之间通常关系密切吗？

是的，他们是。大多数伊朗人和他们的邻居关系友好亲密。他们可以在情感上支持我们，他们可以帮助我们，或者在我们旅行时照看我们的房子。

如何改善你的社区？

我认为尊重邻里规则可以改善我们的社区。例如，避免制造噪音，不要对邻居有过高的期望，不要在背后谈论他们。总的来说，保持关系的平衡。

好的，谢谢。现在我们继续谈论宠物。你有宠物吗？

没有，但当我还是孩子的时候，我有两只黄色和粉红色的小鸡。

在你的国家，什么宠物最受欢迎？

据我所见，狗是我国家最受欢迎的宠物。我个人认为这种兴趣的原因是狗的忠诚。

为什么人们养宠物？

显然，人类想要社交，想被他人接受。所以我认为人们养宠物是为了避免孤独，并且有一个可以一起散步、说话或者听音乐的朋友。

好的，非常感谢。现在我们可以进行考试的第二部分。在第二部分，我会给你一张带有主题的卡片，你应该谈论它两分钟。在此之前，你有一分钟的时间来思考你要说什么，你可以做一些笔记来帮助你。如果你愿意的话。你明白吗？

是的。

很好，谢谢。这是给你做笔记的纸张、提示卡和笔。

谢谢。

不客气。所以你应该谈论一次你丢失东西的经历。现在你有一分钟的时间来思考这个话题，你的一分钟现在开始。好的，现在你的一分钟时间到了，你可以谈论这个话题两分钟，但不要担心如果我打断你。好的，你可以开始了。

一般来说，我是一个小心的人，但我不知道为什么有时会发生你丢失某样东西并且找不到它。我记得是上个月，我在训练，非常疲惫和口渴。我匆忙穿好衣服去喝水，把我的运动鞋放在那里。当我回来时，我没有看到我的运动鞋。这是一种非常糟糕的感觉。我仔细地找了一遍，但没有找到。我问了我的朋友和同学，但他们不知道。我只是去告诉负责人，然后没有别的办法，只能回家。我想三天后，我的一个朋友打电话给我，说“过来，我有重要消息告诉你”。我赶紧过去，看到我的朋友。她说，“Anis，猜猜是什么？”我说，“我不知道，告诉我发生了什么事。”她把我的运动鞋给我。这是一种非常好的感觉，因为那双运动鞋是礼物。那天，我感谢了我的朋友，我觉得自己很幸运。这是非常好的感觉。

你想补充更多信息吗？

丢失东西很重要，但丢失某人更重要。当我还是孩子的时候，有一次我丢了我的母亲，那是可怕的，我总是记得那件事。

好的，非常感谢。现在我们可以进行考试的第三部分。如果你能把纸张给我，谢谢。好了。在第二部分，我们谈论了你丢失东西的一次经历，现在在第三部分，我想问你一些与这个话题相关的问题。为什么人们总是忘记事情？

嗯，我认为这与记忆有关。我完全相信是关于记忆力的。也许现代技术削弱了人类的大脑，人们不相信他们的记忆能记住事情，所以他们强迫自己使用技术来记住一些简单的事情，比如生日或电话号码。

如果你丢了东西，你会怎么做？

嗯，这取决于我丢了什么东西。但如果是重要的东西，我会通知警方。但如果我丢了像笔这样的东西，我不会做特别的事情。

如果你捡到东西，最好的行动是什么？

正如我所提到的，如果你捡到贵重物品，当然，你必须去警察局。但如果你捡到不太重要的东西，比如笔或纸，我认为不要做特别的事情。

在我们现代的世界中，人们往往会忘记他们的文化。那是什么原因？

嗯，我认为文化就是一切。文化是我们说话的方式，吃饭的方式，穿衣的方式。所以人类想要体验各种各样的事情，也许这是其中之一。体验生活在例如印度文化或中国文化中，这是令人兴奋的。但此外，技术对我们的生活有很大的影响。大概是电视节目吸引我们去了解其他文化。

好的，很好。在所有文明中，关于寻宝或寻找黄金的电影和戏剧一直很受欢迎。你为什么认为一直这样？

它一直很受欢迎，因为我认为找到有价值的东西是令人愉快的，尤其是当你非常努力地去寻找它时。它实际上会改变你的生活，你的个性，你的目标。这样的书或电影会激励你尽你所能去改善自己的生活。

好的，非常感谢。现在这是口语测试的结束。现在你可以放松一下，我需要几分钟的时间来计算你的分数，然后给你反馈。

好的，谢谢。

好的，现在让我们开始反馈部分。首先，我想谈谈雅思口语的第一个评分标准，即你的流利度和连贯性。关于你的流利度和连贯性，我可以说，你回答问题时能够展开话题并回答所有问题。例如，在第一部分，你给了我一些简短的回答，但提供了解释。在第二部分，你覆盖了所有的要点，在第三部分，你给出了更长的答案。你有一些停顿，一些自我重复或自我纠正，但这都是自然的，你没有太多这样的情况。我还要提到的是，如果可以的话，使用更多的连接词。你使用了一些简单的词，比如‘and,’ ‘so,’ ‘but,’ ‘because,’但除了这些，你还使用了一些好的替代词，比如‘in addition to that’或‘however’。我相信你有潜力使用更多的连接词，但你使用的都非常自然，你的讲话有流畅性。因为我提到的所有这些，你在流利度和连贯性方面得了七分。

我们现在可以继续下一个评分标准，即你的词汇量。在你的词汇量方面，我可以说这是你的强项之一，因为你能够使用一些搭配词，并且你有非常好的释义。例如，‘I got home,’ ‘I was fortunate,’ ‘a person in charge,’ ‘to have an effect,’ ‘to talk behind somebody,’ ‘maintain a balance’。这些都非常好，你在使用这些词和一些搭配词，一些填充词和增强词或关于流利度和连贯性的衔接词。如果你能使用更多的惯用语，那么你可以提高你的分数。所以你在词汇资源方面得了七分，和你的流利度和连贯性一样。

现在谈谈你的语法范围和准确性，下一评分标准。在你的语法方面，你使用了一系列复杂的结构，例如从句，条件句，关系从句和复合句。但同样地，如果你使用更多的连接词，你可以有机会使用或制作更多的复杂句子。例如，许多考生在第二部分犯的错误是他们不知道应该使用什么时态。例如，他们被给出一个过去时的提示卡，但他们使用现在时来谈论它。你在第二部分的问题是，当你讲故事时，你做了一些简单的句子，如简单，简单，并且用‘and’这个词链接它们。所以你仍然可以给你的结构一个更广泛的范围。但总的来说，在这三部分中，你能够使用这些复杂的结构。你只是犯了一些单数和复数的错误，比如你说‘most Iranian

’，而是‘most Iranians’，或者‘last month that I've been training’，但你应该说‘last month that I was training’或‘last month I trained’，所以是关于过去的事情。它与现在无关，你使用现在完成时。或者‘when I was child’，应该是‘when I was a child’。所以，这主要是你在语法上犯的一些小错误。但你在语法范围和准确性方面也值得七分。

最后，谈谈你的发音。你的发音真的很好，非常清晰，可以理解。你只是犯了一些单词发音的错误。例如，‘close’，你发音为‘close’，以及‘motivate’。关于你的发音的最后一点是‘cause’这个词。在我们的日常交流中，我们可以这样说，比如‘我很开心，因为我和朋友在一起’，但在雅思口语中，你应该确保完全发音，你应该说‘because’。所以，因为我提到的所有这些，你在发音方面得了七分。我建议你多听英语播客、电影，因为它可以帮助你提高语调。有时，在某些句子中，你的语调有点平。你可以在单词重音、句子重音方面有更好的语调。但总的来说，你的发音得分是七分。

现在总结一下，你今天的口语模拟测试的总分是七分。但如果你有任何问题或疑问，可以问我。

谢谢，太棒了。

很好。我祝你好运，祝你度过愉快的一天。
