Hello once again and welcome to Zenith corporate school English.
In today's lesson we'll be looking at the I'll speak in part one.
What is it about.
So let's get started.
Firstly we have an overview of this one test and it's for both those taken general and academic.
I remember I mentioned earlier that there are two categories of child that is the general for those
that want to work in English speaking countries like the UK or Australia or Canada.
And the academic isles for people that want to study in these countries.
So the part one takes about four to five minutes.
It starts with the introduction plus short conversation.
That is the first part.
So once you come to the exam you are required to give your ID number or any other documents that are
required and then you have a short conversation.
You have an introduction first where you quit the examiner.
We are going to look at the introduction how to respond and how to greet that examiner in a different
video.
And after the introduction you have a short conversation.
Now after that the these conversation The topics range from hometown neighborhood family work friend
study hobbies food and sports.
And you need to note here that there is a possibility to have other topics in this first part of speaking.
But these are the common ones.
And with the knowledge you have from these ones you can do well in any other topics so you ask court
based on four criteria.
And these are the first one is fluency and coherence you have about 25 percent from that.
So in this you need to avoid pausing and hesitating too much for example.
So where are you from from.
So this is pausing and hesitating too much you should avoid doing that.
You should organize your answers.
Of course the examiner is not going to be checking if you organize your answers or not but it's expected
of you to organize your answers.
Yes connecting words and phrases for example.
Well I believe generally I think so.
These are connecting words and phrases.
We are going to learn them.
So don't worry.
So now the next is lexical resource.
What does that mean.
It means your range of vocabulary.
Try not to use less come on for cat.
So the next one is colon patients for example you have deep deep feeling deep pockets deep sleep deep
trouble.
So putting two words together two nouns or two agitates together to form to make a meaning.
You have heavy heavy rain heavy sleeper a heavy drinker heavy snow heavy traffic strong strong smells.
From sentence.
So these are the locations that you can use to fuel your lexical reserves.
And of course like I said earlier use less common vocabulary.
So instead of saying sort of same food you can use cuisine.
So it's untoward.
We're going to look at these words just for you to understand better and do very well in your exam so
we'll look at all these when we get to the speaking proper.
The next is your grammar range and accuracy so the tendencies you use for the past present and future
hypothetical situations would plus infinitive like I would like to travel.
I would like to do something and speculating with modal verbs using may mind cooed et cetera so your
grammar range how much of grammar that you know is also you're also judged based on that and the final
one is your pronunciation.
So the stress that intonation so words like we've seen women usually early you can see here.
Mistake.
So the intonation is the stress is on the second syllable like mistake democracy photograph photography
so photograph photography photographic.
So you can hear the stress in the first second and the third syllable in different words.
So your intonation during questions and exclamations for example really are you go in today so you can
hear the intonation it's not just monotone so try not to talk in monotone.
Instead use different stresses and intonation so dos and don'ts.
Let's begin with the dos.
So you should be confident friendly and maintain eye contact with the Examiner.
Try not to look down when speaking excitement.
You should be happy when speaking about something in your vocabulary like I said earlier food.
You can say cuisine friends acquaintance.
These are the vocabulary that you can use.
Try to use high level cabinet like I enjoy.
I prefer I recommend et cetera.
Expand your answers for one I recommend two to four sentences.
Do you like to study.
Don't just say no you can say yes I do.
I spend about three to four hours every day in the library studying.
It makes me more confident.
And of course you need to practice practice practice.
So even after this video go through the video again and again and make sure you practice record yourself
and listen to yourself to see how much improvement you've made let's look at it dance.
So do not speak with a monotone speak with enthusiasm speak with seal like with passion.
So when you're talking about something you enjoy something you really liked.
You should be more passionate about it.
You should speak with excitement done give yes or no answers.
Do you like sports.
No don't give such answers.
Try to make it longer and try to give it to talk at length especially during the past two and three.
But one you can give about two to three sentences and do not repeat the question.
You can ask for clarification.
For example do you like sports.
Do you like sports so don't repeat the same question that the examiner said.
But you can ask for clarification.
I'm very sorry but could you repeat the question do not go off topic when you're given a question about
sports do not stop talking about traveling or do not start talking about food.
You just stay on the topic even if you want to digress.
Make sure it's still on the basis of the topic you're given do not answer.
I don't know you should be able to say something and every question and do not speak too quickly or
too slowly spit quietly and be audible speak loud enough for your Examiner to understand what you're
saying and finally do not worry about perfect English.
Remember the main aim of this test is to look at your English proficiency how well you speak English
so make sure that you allowed even if there is there are mistakes doing your speaking do not worry about
it you can always correct yourself and repeat what you wanted to say but make sure that you're making
complete sentences with a perfect grammar which we are going to learn during this course and you will
come out successfully.
So the aim of the part one is to make you feel comfortable with the Examiner and ready to do part two
and three of the speaking.
I believe you've been able to learn a lot about the first part of this test and by the next video we
will get to part one in detail and we will have a lot of speaking and you will see how to attack the
questions and how to come out successful with a good score for this test.
See you at the next video.
