  • I'd like to get to know you a little bit better and ask you some questions on a general topic.

  • Where did you grow up?

  • So I was born in Monterey California.

  • But I actually grew up in long beach California.

  • What do you like to do for relaxing?

  • I like to go swimming.

  • Um There's a good pool close to my home and I find that it's not only good exercise but it's a good way to unwind from the stresses of the work week.

  • Let's talk about vacation.

  • Okay what do you like to do on your vacations from work?

  • I mostly enjoy going sightseeing and checking out a historical city such as Rome or doing something active.

  • Like going to hawaii for some R.

  • And R.

  • And doing some surfing.

  • How many days do you usually take for a vacation?

  • I usually take about two weeks.

  • Um just this just a month ago I took 14 days and went to Florida to visit a cousin of mine.

  • I usually find that this is enough time to relax and recuperate.

  • What was your favorite vacation until now?

  • That's a tough one.

  • I've had many good vacations.

  • Um But if I had to choose one, I would have to say that my Alpine adventure this past winter to aspen colorado was one of the best snow.

  • The powder was just perfect, so the weather was great and snowboarding was just second to none.

  • If you could go anywhere for a couple of weeks to relax.

  • Where would you go?

  • I think I would go to Costa rica.

  • Um Based on recent recommendations from good friends of mine.

  • It seems like that's a very nice country to visit and I haven't been there yet.

  • It sounds like the jungles are amazing and the surf is incredible.

  • So that would be my next destination.

  • Have you visited another continent?

  • Yeah, I sure have.

  • I've actually visited many countries around the world.

  • I've been all over europe and I visited south America and Asia as well.

  • What was your opinion about them?

  • I have different but good opinions about each place I've visited.

  • Um For example I really enjoy the natural beauty that south America has to offer.

  • Um and I love different cuisines such as the korean barbecue which is one of my favorites.

  • Okay that is the end of part one.

  • Now we will continue with part two for part two.

  • Here is a card with some questions.

  • Please don't turn that over yet.

  • Here is a pencil and here's some note paper.

  • You will have one minute to think of your answer, write notes if you wish and then you will have two minutes to speak.

  • I will tell you when to start and when to stop.

  • Are you ready to begin?

  • Okay go ahead, turn over the card and your one minute preparation time begins now.

  • Okay dave you're one minute preparation time is up, please begin speaking so I'd like to speak about my cousin jerry so he is one of the smartest people I know he not only has a degree in math from stanford University, but he owns his own business and has a family, a wife and a father of three Children.

  • He's of average height, he's got blue eyes, blonde hair, pretty well built guy who's always smiling.

  • He's my mom's older sister's son, so he's a little bit older than me.

  • Um, Jerry's not only very intelligent, but also very hardworking, which is something I really admire about him.

  • Um, as I mentioned, he not only has a doctorate in math, But he also teaches part time, 3rd and 4th year students at University.

  • Um, he's also come up with some of his own math formulas and theories.

  • In addition to this, he uses his math and people skills to build his brokerage firm, which he now runs with about 10 staff.

  • And in his business, he makes lucrative investments on behalf of wealthy investors.

  • Um, he's a very good father and he always pays attention to spending quality time with his wife and especially his three Children.

  • Uh, just last week we went on a picnic together and I joined them in the park and through some ball with the kids.

  • So he jerry has a very bright future ahead of him.

  • I mean he's already uh, a very successful businessman and professor, but I really wouldn't be at all surprised if in the near future.

  • He will win some kind of award such as a Nobel prize even Okay, Dave, I'm going to stop you there.

  • You're two minutes is up.

  • So please pass back the note paper, the pencil.

  • Thank you the card as well please.

  • And now we will continue with part three for part three.

  • I'm going to ask you some more questions related to the topic of part two.

  • Are you ready to continue continue?

  • Let's talk about intelligence.

  • What makes a person intelligent?

  • Well, there are many different criterias for intelligence and there are many different types of intelligence.

  • But I would say a good indicator of general intelligence is the ability to problem solve.

  • So people who are, let's say better problem solvers than 95% of the population are considered to be intelligent.

  • Is this always true?

  • Well not always.

  • There's, as I said, different types of intelligence.

  • So let's say if a person is an extremely gifted painter, um that doesn't necessarily make them a good problem solver.

  • But that is also a form of intelligence.

  • Some people feel that being very intelligent can also be a burden.

  • Do you agree with this notion?

  • I certainly do.

  • Um yeah, generally speaking the most intelligent among us are the ones that society relies on to solve our problems for us.

  • So for example, my cousin jerry is faced with these types of issues sometimes when an investment doesn't pan out for one of his clients, then the blame falls on him.

  • It is often agreed that intelligence is very difficult to measure.

  • Why is this?

  • Well, it's because as I mentioned before, there are many different types of intelligence.

  • So to be more specific, there's kinesthetic intelligence, there's mathematical intelligence, spatial and artistic, just to name a few.

  • And while a person may be considered intelligent in one domain, it won't necessarily make them intelligent in another.

  • What are some of the greatest architectural achievements of the past 50 years?

  • Well, I would consider mega structures such as the Khalifa or the Three Gorges Dam in china to be great injuring marvels of the last half century.

  • How about non physical achievements?

  • Well, I would say that the most important non physical achievements of the last half century would have to be the internet um but also the mapping of the genome and perhaps virtual reality.

  • What is needed for major accomplishments these days that are internationally recognized?

  • Well they have to be outstanding.

  • Um to say the least.

  • Um to set themselves apart.

  • I mean there are nearly eight billion people on the planet.

  • So it takes quite the achievement to stand out from the crowd.

  • So for example, something like a cure for AIDS or a sprinter earning the 100 m dash in under nine seconds.

  • How will the major achievements of today impact future societies?

  • I believe they will have a profound impact on future societies.

  • Um So for example, we spoke of the inter I spoke of the internet, the tools that we use today such as social media, facebook twitter instagram are already having a major impact on society as we know today and I think this will only continue in the future.

  • Okay, that is the end of part three, that concludes the speaking portion of the Eilts exam.

  • You will have your results in about two weeks time with the other portions of the test, have a great rest of your day, Dave remember to take your passport.

  • Thank you, have a good day.

  • Bye to.

  • Bye bye.

  • Thank you.

  • So why do native speakers also need to take the outs exam?

  • Well it's for the same reasons that all students take the exam, immigration education and work say that a person wants to emigrate from Canada to Australia.

  • There is no guarantee that they have a high level of english.

  • Remember we live in a global society.

  • So if they have no other proof of english, such as grade 12, they can be required to show I'll scores.

  • Also when students study abroad they have to show a certain level of english.

  • This can be a grade 12 score of 80% or grade B higher.

  • And if they don't have this then it needs to be an exam score such as a band seven on aisles and third, even when native english speakers want to get a job working for an english as second language school, they have to show a high aptitude for the language Many es el schools these days require their teachers to have a band 8.5 or nine on the islets exam.

  • Now, Why does this candidate score a band 9?

  • This candidate would score a band nine because first of all his speech is natural, of course he's a native english, american born user of the language.

  • So his pronunciation, intonation, annunciation, word choice, use of expressions and idioms as well as sentence structures are perfect, secondly, he uses a great range of vocabulary.

  • He has excellent lexical resource third, he has great comprehension and coherence.

  • Of course he understands every question clearly and he answers them accurately.

  • He gives full answers, explanations and often provides examples.

  • His part to response is complete with lots of detail and good structure.

  • This is what you need to do to get those nice high, I'll span scores, make sure to watch this video several times and practice at home.

  • Good luck.

  • The next time you sit the aisles to see over 100 hours of video lessons like this one.
