@@lautaroescarlon7501 true and a more strict examiner might have given him an 8.5 because of that. He still did a pretty good job though. Even some native speakers have the habit of over using a particular word or phrase.
As a native English speaker even I would get a little stressed out with this test because of how specific these questions are but he did great! He spoke pretty fluently and answers everything without hesitation or taking large pauses. The only critique I'd give him is that he says filler words like "really/very" a lot along with "uh/um". Using these words isn't bad per say (I say "uh/um" too when trying to think about what to say next) but constantly saying "really/very" or "really really" two times in a row like at 7:03 can make you sound redundant, and in all honesty, makes the listener lose interest in what the speaker is saying. Most of the time you can just omit the excess word and you will still get your point across ("they had really good food" --> "they had good food") OR you can use a better synonym altogether ("they had really good food" --> "they had delicious food"). Again, I think he did great but this was something I noticed instantly from him.
I can relate. In my native language I can write thoroughly (my thesis supervisor even praised my style) but it takes time to determine and structure my thoughts. While speaking, I often stop to think, but the right words don't come to mind that quick, so eventually I say something silly to break the silence and awkwardly continue. I bet I sound like I have 2 brain cells 😅 And in the foreign language this difference between writing and speaking becomes even more noticeable...

I don't think speaking fast can be an advantage. In some cases, it may indicate that you're nervous. I think it'd be best to concentrate in modulating the words so the other person can easily understand what you're saying.
I just figured out what my problem would be if i would take this exam. Lack of interest. If the guy would ask me about videogames, movies i would confidently talk about them for an hour. But describing an hotel i know ? Bro, i haven't leave the house for 20 days. I'm an introvert. But anyways, probs to this dude. He didn't use fancy words or complicated sentences. He's just really good at expressing himself and delivering his thoughts.
Lack of Interest is definitely one of my problems too. Asking me an opinion about something I don't have an opinion on. I wouldn't know what to say in my own language, much less in English. I have a lot more problems than that too.
@@hakimonn It's not about answering the question literally, it's about answering the question naturally, so if you haven't been in a hotel and you prefer to stay indoors, then communicate that clearly and either divert from the question or try your best to answer now that you've expressed limited personal experience with the topic.
I really don't get it how people think his topics has been easier? You really think describing a hotel is easy? Lmao. Try it for yourself then. Good job of the candidate! Very well done!
I literally cannot think of anything easier than any topic that he got. "Do you like cars", "Tell me about a hotel"... There is no person sitting IELTS who doesn't have an opinion about these topics. Also, I don't think that his vocabulary is a band 9 vocabulary, but what do I know...
You probably never had an IELTS test, cause trust me the questions he got couldn’t be any easier. In 2018 I had an IELTS academic testing and one of my questions was about “my favorite fruit”. I’m almost 100% sure you won’t be able to speak about fruit for 1-2 minutes.

He spoke well for a person from a non-native English speaking country. The breaks and pauses influences your score. His flow was continuous and all his answers were emphatic.
yes, i learnt that you have to be able to proceed even with that discomfort. you're going to meet any interviewer (nice, not nice, serious, friendly) so you have to focus on the test and not the behaviour of the examiner. stuffs like that.
He is rather given such easy topics from this; also his questions were not getting any tougher than previous questions during the exam. I suppose it is an easy mocking one.
I don't understand how he got 9 out of 9. I saw other IELTS speaking exams and the people there phrased more complicate sentences and spoke also fluently and got only like 8. He spoke well and fuent but also made some errors. (Also you can spot he is German at first sight xD (I am German too))

@@hiennguyenthu624 then why do IELTS have a Speaking Score Chart? scores were calculated based on the chart *Fluency and Coherence *Pronunciation *Lexical Resource *Grammatical range and accuracy *Total IELTS Speaking Score. i saw some people speaking so fluently almost like a native speaker and so they got high marks in Fluency and Coherence but they got very low marks in Pronounciation and Grammar. It's how the overall (Total) score is caluculated. The chart is made for that. So your friend saying t's all about being confident and sounding like a native speaker can't be true in that case. The guy in ths video got 9 even tho there were so many grammatical errors (it will affect the Grammatical score area of the Score Chart) and words used were completely basic which is not how you get high marks in Lexical Resource. Either the examinors were biased or who knows what. But it's definitely not all about speaking fluent or confident

oh, i'm very glad for this man, he speak like an intelligence person. As for me i am about 5-6 cuz english is not my native language and i've ben learning it for only 8 months, and i am russian

I have been repeating the exam in hopes of scoring a band 7 in every category. Sometimes the Part 2 question of the speaking portion strains my abilities. If I am familiar with the topic I can answer confidently. Otherwise I struggle to come up with a meaningful answer. Last week the examiner put up a question that asked , "Describe a law that you think would benefit the environment. What is the law? How would people react to the law?" I found this question challenging to answer. Since I only had a minute to think about law and governing, I did not have the best response. Not everyone has an instant answer to every question asked. I am not sure. How would you have answered this question?
@@azharkhan8796 same it would difficult for me too. But I would answer like this: In my country when people shopping in the supermarket they put the products in plastic bag which is not great for environment. I remember one day when I got home after shopping, I realized that government should to do something, they can make a law that will not give a permission to create anything with plastic.In my point of view this is the correct and easy way to keep our nature.I don’t think that other people will be disagree with this law because they also want to save our planet ,they want their kids growing up in good environment.I guess all humanity want to live healthy and happy life. I don’t know is this right answer, but when it is difficult for me I’m changing my answer a little bit 😁 the hardest part for me is READING 😢🥴🤭
Hi, my advise is just try to take it easy. I know you'll be under stress just like everyone right, but try to force yourself to think about it like a conversation between your friend and you, not an exam with an examiner. Coz in the end, the point of this speaking test is just to test your speaking ability to see whether you can be able to communicate or not :) so think about your examiner as your friend, feel free to express your self as natural as you can, use your body language, eye contact, grab a pen in your hand if you're worried too much. I did this a few years ago and got 8.0 for speaking skill so I assume it works :)
The candidate used english fluently. He did not pause nor murmur or struggle with finding idea. I believe that's the reason why this candidate got a band 9. Sometimes it's not about using extravagant idioms or words. Fluency matters a lot too. Btw does this candiate have an IG account lol😂
lmao haha, search it up, he mentioned his name! also i think these marks mentioned here are incorrect.. it is a lot about vocabulary idioms usage and some other stuff too
God, I wish I was as great at speaking English as him. I learned the language on my own so I'm not that confident. Personally I never went to a hotel before so if someone asked me all those questions related to hotels, I don't know how would I react. I would probably freeze then start panicking. I'm planning to take the IELTS test in the next four or five months after I make sure that I'm 100% or at least 90% ready for it to avoid getting bad grades since I don't have enough money to retake it over and over again till I get the score I desire. Thanks to this video I'm getting a little stressed honestly.
You always have two choices: be honest and tell that you have never been in a hotel before or just imagine a situation like this and describe it. People often forget that there are no correct answers. The main thing is speaking. Try to stop thinking about grammar or vocabulary and just explain your thoughts and ideas (criteria are important, but thinking about them influences your confidence). I really enjoyed a discussion with my examiner and got my desired score. I believe, it is a key to success: relaxation and joy. Good luck for you!
Many thanks for all your insightful videos on IELTS exam, I excelled in my test last week with Listening -7.5, Reading 7.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 8.5 and scoring an overall band score of 7.5. I am grateful for all your support. My speaking test score was the highest and this particular video absolutely helped me. God bless you!
I really wish these examiners would learn how to interrupt someone politely and effectively. I understand the time restrictions, but you're interacting with another human being for goodness sake, so you should at least muster up the effort to speak to them like one. Just a "Sorry, I must stop you there." or "Apologies, that's all the time we have for part 1." It doesn't use up much time, and it really goes a long way.
He just spoke with everything he knew, things that's daily life for him with just simple words and a mix of collocations here and there but it delivered so much information and a wide understanding of his surroundings. Also, that pronunciation and fluency just master level too holy
it could affect your score as in if u had less to speak about something and you conveyed it way too fast.. then you would stop and will affect your fluency
I don't think that I can answer that way even in my native language: I have never thought about hotels, cars and so on, so I don't really have an opinion about it. That's that makes this test for me amazing. However, if you will ask me about smth I like or expertize in, I would be speaking in the same manner most likely. That'e the art of creating an answer in the process of speaking.
It's really good expression and he talked fluently what he thought . Really i get good idea to improve my test score . It is helpful for me . Thank you .
Hello teacher, My name is Alexandre Araújo de Carvalho, I am 36 years old, I am from Brazil. I was born in Rio de Janeiro city. I have been studying English for three hours. I am studying English right now.
He’s really good at showing his idea. (and also cute) When I took a test, it takes at least 10 seconds for me to think because my brain was so blank lol
I like how his blush matches the wall colour 😂 Really great performance thou, I guess for an Oxford student speaking part should not be a problem. Has anyone noticed whether he's using any idioms in his replies?
nah, he spoke very simply.. idk how he got 9.. other vids i watched about IELTS, they give 7-8 even for the ones speaking fluently with much vocabulary too.. i like how his eyes and sweater match
he was really good at speaking and well confident too! The only problem i think was, he wasn't using much of the vocabulary plus he was speaking too fast, there was time in part 2 where he thought he could stop but the time wasn't up
Classic halo effect because he is charismatic and confident. There is no way this should be a 9. I saw another guy score a much worse 6.5 recently despite having a much wider vocabulary and articulating his thoughts more clearly. This guy is definitely still proficient but not to the extent he should be classified as someone having complete mastery of the language/native-like speaking which is what this score indicates.
His English was definitely a C2. This test is really not that big of deal. Having a C2 doesn’t mean you speak like a native. It means you’ve got a very advanced level of English and you master the language well enough to live, work, study, etc. in an English speaking setting.
I’m an examiner and I give this an 8.0. I snuggest you revisit the grading rubric and the official band descriptors on IELTS website. Fluency: 8.0 Lexical Resource: 7.0 Grammar Range: 8.0 Pronunciation: 8.0 (accent has no to minimal impact on intelligibility)
First time I took the test was in 2009, it was so funny. I didn't study for it, just made everything up + a few lines from movies that I remembered lol. I got 6.0 which was enough for me to get accepted to a school in Sydney.
I think is conversation it's so perfect because he is not stop like "ehmm" and words are so pure and simple. English is not complicated, if you know few words you can describe to every people :)
Even in my language, I cannot speak like that, I cannot express my opinions like that, beside his speaking skills in English , he expresses his opinions very successfully
Though sentences are so simple, clearly relay the message, which is quite impressive and fluency is way too good. By the way when I saw only him on the thumbnail i thought it would be a movie trailers then I was like ohh.. 9 band speaking 😄
He is a fluent English speaker, this is not a skilful speech but one of the daily causal conversation for him. I wonder , there’s many “really “ when he spoke and basics vocabulary choices , score 9 still 🧐
I think it doesn't depend on how much vocabulary you say or like complex and hard ones it depends on how much you know about a specific topic and how fluent you are
You've hit the nail on the head. His fluency is 9 indeed, but his vocab range in Part 2 is really A2 rather than C1- C2, nothing higher level than big, good and bad
@@habebaaglan2606 an absolutely false assumption. In IELTS you are not assessed for the knowledge, but for fluency, coherence, a variety of vocab and a range of grammar. If you are fluent, but use primitive language, you might get 8- 9 exactly for fluency, but 5-6 for lexis and grammar.
@@user-gz7nt7cs3i This guy is easily around B2 in vocabularly. I think he just has a habit of falling back on certain safe words, which as you stated, is kind of bad for the IELTS. He is still solidly Band 9 though, coming from a native speaker. I think L2 English learners tend to heavily overestimate how much vocabularly we use on a regular basis.
It seems as though it doesn't matter how well you can speak about a certain topic as in provide valuable insight but rather how you can just keep speaking no matter what.
This dude makes all the mistakes, these "online IELTS tutoring" videos warn us about. Speaking too quickly, the fillers "Uhmm" and "Ahhs" and yet it is clear he is quite good at communicating his ideas and speaks with great confidence.
Thank you for the video. While I pass the test years ago, I'll keep this video in mind. I'm pretty confident about my English, but there's always room to improve!
Whilst his fluency, coherence, and pronunciation were pretty much on point, his vocabulary was incredibly repetitive and lacking, and there were a few typical non-native grammatical errors. He is without a doubt proficient enough for fluent regular use, but you have to remember that a 9 means perfect. An 8.5 is one of the requirements needed to teach IELTS, so, whilst he's a strong speaker, do you think he'd be capable enough to teach IELTS? I'm beginning to doubt the legitimacy of these scores. Either, the channel is falsely reporting them, or these aren't official examiners.
Hi mate, why I just over and over be repeated my final responses? I got a scary moment last year.. Honestly, at that time I lost my job owing to my clumsy character.. I didn't even take chances as the time hit me seriously.
Furthermore, who knows? Someone who would extirpate my sentences by adding the poignant comments and take them onto the scale. They squeeze me hard and grind my self-esteem, they act everything, not the coincidences- the deliberation ones TT
I don't reckon the score was given correctly. He spoke fluently, yes, coherently, yes, but I'm not sure about those phrases of hesitation could give him the maximum score. Moreover, his lexical resource was not that abundant, and those expressions could not have been considered rare and complex enough. Personal opinion, keep on scrolling if you disagree.
I'm a native speaker and i don't have pause as he did during the exam, but i usually only get 8-8.5. Apparently the bias of the examiner (e.g. racism) plays a big part in the marking of ielts speaking.
I mean, he's really good, but I think his band should have been a bit lower, like 8,5 maybe, because he made some mistakes that you shouldn't really make with a band 9. Still great tho
“ That’s the end of the speaking test “

*Total IELTS Speaking Score.
i saw some people speaking so fluently almost like a native speaker and so they got high marks in Fluency and Coherence but they got very low marks in Pronounciation and Grammar. It's how the overall (Total) score is caluculated. The chart is made for that. So your friend saying t's all about being confident and sounding like a native speaker can't be true in that case. The guy in ths video got 9 even tho there were so many grammatical errors (it will affect the Grammatical score area of the Score Chart) and words used were completely basic which is not how you get high marks in Lexical Resource. Either the examinors were biased or who knows what. But it's definitely not all about speaking fluent or confident
@@audreysett2749 sorry because i just repeated what she said ^^
Because there is subjectivity in the person giving out the grade...and this performance will not get a 9 from me either.

I loved that this guy was very nervous but managed to hide it pretty well!
He is absolutely brilliant! I am impressed by his speaking skills. I wish I had such a friend like him.

Should have asked: “what’s your opinion on Alsace-Loraine?” Then he would have delivered a whole dissertation on the topic.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro i can't even express myself this way in my mother language how am i supposed to do so in English
oh, i'm very glad for this man, he speak like an intelligence person. As for me i am about 5-6 cuz english is not my native language and i've ben learning it for only 8 months, and i am russian
I can speak freely for hours... but... knowing it's an exam and having a stranger questioning me doesn't bring out my full potential... in fact... it stalls me... and my exam is 4 days away... help... can i tell them i feel uncomfortable?! Like... will it change anything?! idk...
I have been repeating the exam in hopes of scoring a band 7 in every category. Sometimes the Part 2 question of the speaking portion strains my abilities. If I am familiar with the topic I can answer confidently. Otherwise I struggle to come up with a meaningful answer.
Last week the examiner put up a question that asked , "Describe a law that you think would benefit the environment. What is the law? How would people react to the law?"
I found this question challenging to answer. Since I only had a minute to think about law and governing, I did not have the best response. Not everyone has an instant answer to every question asked. I am not sure. How would you have answered this question?
@@azharkhan8796 same it would difficult for me too. But I would answer like this: In my country when people shopping in the supermarket they put the products in plastic bag which is not great for environment. I remember one day when I got home after shopping, I realized that government should to do something, they can make a law that will not give a permission to create anything with plastic.In my point of view this is the correct and easy way to keep our nature.I don’t think that other people will be disagree with this law because they also want to save our planet ,they want their kids growing up in good environment.I guess all humanity want to live healthy and happy life.
I don’t know is this right answer, but when it is difficult for me I’m changing my answer a little bit 😁 the hardest part for me is READING 😢🥴🤭
Hi, my advise is just try to take it easy. I know you'll be under stress just like everyone right, but try to force yourself to think about it like a conversation between your friend and you, not an exam with an examiner. Coz in the end, the point of this speaking test is just to test your speaking ability to see whether you can be able to communicate or not :) so think about your examiner as your friend, feel free to express your self as natural as you can, use your body language, eye contact, grab a pen in your hand if you're worried too much. I did this a few years ago and got 8.0 for speaking skill so I assume it works :)
Just practice this situation. Ask a friend to ask you some typical IElTS Questions. You will be fine :D
@@azharkhan8796a Law is to be a lawyer to govern or If you have Knowledge of this science or a field.
The candidate used english fluently. He did not pause nor murmur or struggle with finding idea. I believe that's the reason why this candidate got a band 9. Sometimes it's not about using extravagant idioms or words. Fluency matters a lot too. Btw does this candiate have an IG account lol😂
lmao haha, search it up, he mentioned his name! also i think these marks mentioned here are incorrect.. it is a lot about vocabulary idioms usage and some other stuff too
Naughty naughty
this is first class speaking! im not ielts student but i watched it for my general english improvement! hats off :)
same here, was taking general idea for my igcse but it is different from that :p
He gives good and complete answers. He deserves 9
God, I wish I was as great at speaking English as him. I learned the language on my own so I'm not that confident. Personally I never went to a hotel before so if someone asked me all those questions related to hotels, I don't know how would I react. I would probably freeze then start panicking. I'm planning to take the IELTS test in the next four or five months after I make sure that I'm 100% or at least 90% ready for it to avoid getting bad grades since I don't have enough money to retake it over and over again till I get the score I desire. Thanks to this video I'm getting a little stressed honestly.
You always have two choices: be honest and tell that you have never been in a hotel before or just imagine a situation like this and describe it. People often forget that there are no correct answers. The main thing is speaking. Try to stop thinking about grammar or vocabulary and just explain your thoughts and ideas (criteria are important, but thinking about them influences your confidence). I really enjoyed a discussion with my examiner and got my desired score. I believe, it is a key to success: relaxation and joy. Good luck for you!
@@Valeriia_Q Oh, thanks a lot for the advice. I will try my best to follow it and hopefully I also get my desired score in future.
Also you can find the questions with their answers in the IELTS Writing Part. 😉
@@kafkaesk_ Oh, gotta check all of them for real! Both writing and speaking parts are scaring me lol
as a native english speaker, you could easily pass as a fluent speaker by the way you worded this comment.
Many thanks for all your insightful videos on IELTS exam, I excelled in my test last week with Listening -7.5, Reading 7.5, Writing 6.5, Speaking 8.5 and scoring an overall band score of 7.5. I am grateful for all your support. My speaking test score was the highest and this particular video absolutely helped me. God bless you!
I really wish these examiners would learn how to interrupt someone politely and effectively.
I understand the time restrictions, but you're interacting with another human being for goodness sake, so you should at least muster up the effort to speak to them like one.
Just a "Sorry, I must stop you there." or "Apologies, that's all the time we have for part 1."
It doesn't use up much time, and it really goes a long way.
Me being asian: woah that examiner have chosen violence
I think its that "rude" to see what people do in these uncomfortable situations
@sushi3377 I'm sure they've consented to it, and it's used as an educational tool, even if the results are wildly incorrect.
He just spoke with everything he knew, things that's daily life for him with just simple words and a mix of collocations here and there but it delivered so much information and a wide understanding of his surroundings. Also, that pronunciation and fluency just master level too holy
Now, that's a VERY good-looking candidate! A smart one too..
Examine seems natural in this conversation. Simple & not much vocabulary he used.
Yeah I’m shocked too. How come a 9 band without using those terrifying vocabulary words. Maybe that day was his (candidate’s) lucky day 🍀
He's fluent in english. He did not pause nor murmur or struggle with finding idea. I believe that's the reason why this candidate got a band 9

I'd rather this way to score a high band score. People won't use complicated and flowery vocabulary in real life anyway. This is more realistic!
I have a question: do we need to talk as fast as this guy when we take the ielts speaking test? I mean will the speed of talking affect our score?
speak in your natural pace, don't show off, speed is not important, content is important, your grammar, vocab, fluency and coherence counts!
@@IELTS-PRACTICER thank you very much !
This is a really good question I also wanted to ask about that
it could affect your score as in if u had less to speak about something and you conveyed it way too fast.. then you would stop and will affect your fluency
To be honest i can not speak my mother tongue with this speed....i have no prey
I don't think that I can answer that way even in my native language: I have never thought about hotels, cars and so on, so I don't really have an opinion about it. That's that makes this test for me amazing. However, if you will ask me about smth I like or expertize in, I would be speaking in the same manner most likely. That'e the art of creating an answer in the process of speaking.
i'm not taking any test just clicked to see this handsome lolz
0:20 I bet this kind of interview happened countless times during WW2 😐
It's really good expression and he talked fluently what he thought . Really i get good idea to improve my test score . It is helpful for me . Thank you .
Hello teacher, My name is Alexandre Araújo de Carvalho, I am 36 years old, I am from Brazil.
I was born in Rio de Janeiro city.
I have been studying English for three hours.
I am studying English right now.
I love how he is moving his right hand continuously
shows confidence.. you should too.. if u do ofc
He’s really good at showing his idea. (and also cute) When I took a test, it takes at least 10 seconds for me to think because my brain was so blank lol
Yeah sometimes our minds fail to remmember in the most critical minutes
Wow I may not even answer these questions with my native language so fluently
I bet a vast majority of people cant
I like how his blush matches the wall colour 😂 Really great performance thou, I guess for an Oxford student speaking part should not be a problem. Has anyone noticed whether he's using any idioms in his replies?
nah, he spoke very simply.. idk how he got 9.. other vids i watched about IELTS, they give 7-8 even for the ones speaking fluently with much vocabulary too.. i like how his eyes and sweater match
he was really good at speaking and well confident too! The only problem i think was, he wasn't using much of the vocabulary plus he was speaking too fast, there was time in part 2 where he thought he could stop but the time wasn't up
Impressive, very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s IELTS speaking test.
I see you are a man of culture as well.
Since when did a nitwit like you learn to speak English?
@@sleeper9638 I can't believe that Bryce prefers Van Patten's IELTS speaking test to mine
İ love the way he speaks👼🏼
I think it is British
This guy gave me hope! I love that he is using simple vocabulary
Yes , others just use big words and that makes me nervous 😂
Classic halo effect because he is charismatic and confident. There is no way this should be a 9. I saw another guy score a much worse 6.5 recently despite having a much wider vocabulary and articulating his thoughts more clearly. This guy is definitely still proficient but not to the extent he should be classified as someone having complete mastery of the language/native-like speaking which is what this score indicates.
I agree.
@@vikrantkulkarni1241I disagree ,
His English was definitely a C2. This test is really not that big of deal. Having a C2 doesn’t mean you speak like a native. It means you’ve got a very advanced level of English and you master the language well enough to live, work, study, etc. in an English speaking setting.
I’m an examiner and I give this an 8.0. I snuggest you revisit the grading rubric and the official band descriptors on IELTS website.
Fluency: 8.0
Lexical Resource: 7.0
Grammar Range: 8.0
Pronunciation: 8.0
(accent has no to minimal impact on intelligibility)
He enhanced my confidence.. Thanks man 💗
nice, you deserve 9.00 mark, iwish i would speak that fast
He lives in Uk, so its quite easy to learn language;) i think if u talk to native speakers of any language u can also speak like them😅😂
@@akshaykumar1272 thats correct, its hard to find native people making friendship with foreigners
@@BobbySingh-vm5ku Why? Where do you live?
@@hanmeangirl6651 Probably he's in India
He was beyond the scale
First time I took the test was in 2009, it was so funny. I didn't study for it, just made everything up + a few lines from movies that I remembered lol. I got 6.0 which was enough for me to get accepted to a school in Sydney.
Cool story!😄
I have this interview but audio version and something take it to listen. So wondered how they look like so finally saw the video version, nice one!
that's so cool. he's actually a natural speaker ..
I think is conversation it's so perfect because he is not stop like "ehmm" and words are so pure and simple. English is not complicated, if you know few words you can describe to every people :)
This guy is a real badass. Thanks for posting. 2 thumbs up. Greetings from Venezuela.
The examiner is so kind 😊 i wish i met him in my test
Even in my language, I cannot speak like that, I cannot express my opinions like that, beside his speaking skills in English , he expresses his opinions very successfully
Though sentences are so simple, clearly relay the message, which is quite impressive and fluency is way too good. By the way when I saw only him on the thumbnail i thought it would be a movie trailers then I was like ohh.. 9 band speaking 😄
When your examiner is a native It's so good because he is wondering how you learned his mother tongue 😇😇😇😇
He is a fluent English speaker, this is not a skilful speech but one of the daily causal conversation for him. I wonder , there’s many “really “ when he spoke and basics vocabulary choices , score 9 still 🧐
I think it doesn't depend on how much vocabulary you say or like complex and hard ones it depends on how much you know about a specific topic and how fluent you are
You've hit the nail on the head. His fluency is 9 indeed, but his vocab range in Part 2 is really A2 rather than C1- C2, nothing higher level than big, good and bad
@@habebaaglan2606 an absolutely false assumption. In IELTS you are not assessed for the knowledge, but for fluency, coherence, a variety of vocab and a range of grammar. If you are fluent, but use primitive language, you might get 8- 9 exactly for fluency, but 5-6 for lexis and grammar.
@@user-gz7nt7cs3i This guy is easily around B2 in vocabularly. I think he just has a habit of falling back on certain safe words, which as you stated, is kind of bad for the IELTS. He is still solidly Band 9 though, coming from a native speaker. I think L2 English learners tend to heavily overestimate how much vocabularly we use on a regular basis.
This seems rather relaxing in comparison with the speaking in TOEFL. That one really terrified me
I hope u can naile it
This examiner is generous, the one I had disturbed me right after two sentences and kept nagging on with a different question
It seems as though it doesn't matter how well you can speak about a certain topic as in provide valuable insight but rather how you can just keep speaking no matter what.
I am kinda jealous of this guy because i have confidence and stammering issues. I can only wish to speak that fluently.
This dude makes all the mistakes, these "online IELTS tutoring" videos warn us about. Speaking too quickly, the fillers "Uhmm" and "Ahhs" and yet it is clear he is quite good at communicating his ideas and speaks with great confidence.
Phenomenal! Great job. This interview was really an amazing thing to watch. One day, I want to achieve the same level. Let's go! Focus on studies!
I am native english and I don't think I could describe a hotel for 2 minutes either. That is a long time to describe a building.
Can't believe I clicked in cause the guy in the thumbnail looks quite good
Thank you for the video. While I pass the test years ago, I'll keep this video in mind. I'm pretty confident about my English, but there's always room to improve!
Whilst his fluency, coherence, and pronunciation were pretty much on point, his vocabulary was incredibly repetitive and lacking, and there were a few typical non-native grammatical errors.
He is without a doubt proficient enough for fluent regular use, but you have to remember that a 9 means perfect. An 8.5 is one of the requirements needed to teach IELTS, so, whilst he's a strong speaker, do you think he'd be capable enough to teach IELTS?
I'm beginning to doubt the legitimacy of these scores. Either, the channel is falsely reporting them, or these aren't official examiners.
Hi mate, why I just over and over be repeated my final responses? I got a scary moment last year.. Honestly, at that time I lost my job owing to my clumsy character.. I didn't even take chances as the time hit me seriously.
Furthermore, who knows? Someone who would extirpate my sentences by adding the poignant comments and take them onto the scale. They squeeze me hard and grind my self-esteem, they act everything, not the coincidences- the deliberation ones TT
I love speaking English, I need to practice and be in the lesson every time. However, no, I am tired to think of being made fun of by netizens.
@@attranhuu7429 what?!‽
@@attranhuu7429 Sorry, this was rather peculiar and out of the blue.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
in our local test center you would get 7.5 maximum for such answers
I don't reckon the score was given correctly. He spoke fluently, yes, coherently, yes, but I'm not sure about those phrases of hesitation could give him the maximum score. Moreover, his lexical resource was not that abundant, and those expressions could not have been considered rare and complex enough. Personal opinion, keep on scrolling if you disagree.
I agree, his score makes no sense to me and his vocabulary did not show much versatility to me.
How many times did he say “yeah, very nice, very important” etc what about avoiding the word “very” in every single sentence huh😁😁
@@Katiesplanet Yes :D and the examiner will be taking scores from him uncontrollably.
@@Katiesplanet exactly, that part irked me.
Its good to see that the speaking tests are still easy for foreigners.
I'm a native speaker and i don't have pause as he did during the exam, but i usually only get 8-8.5. Apparently the bias of the examiner (e.g. racism) plays a big part in the marking of ielts speaking.
probably you are right, what is your race?
@@АлександрСакара-д5ъ Asian
he speaks so naturally and don't use too many complicated words
I mean, he's really good, but I think his band should have been a bit lower, like 8,5 maybe, because he made some mistakes that you shouldn't really make with a band 9. Still great tho
Agreed. He kinda repeated himself many times right?...
@@Khonganhenglish i kinda did think he repeated himself, he did tho, but the examiner had similar questions so it made him repeat
The amount of "Yeah" this fella puts into his speech is.....somewhat impressive😳
He is smart and it’s explaining everything
