Welcome to the IELTS Advantage quiz.
In the IELTS Advantage quiz we're going to give our students multiple challenges and they can win points and then they can win prizes at the end.
Let's play the synonyms quiz.
I will say a word and the first person to buzz and say the correct synonym of that word will get a point.
So the first word is significant.
Oh wait sorry I wasn't focused but it's okay I get it.
Okay we can go again.
Important.
Correct.
Can you make a sentence?
It is important for me to have water every morning when I wake up.
Excellent.
Two points.
The next word is modern.
New.
In today's world new architecture is making a place.
Is that a that's an incorrect sentence so we only give one point there.
Improve.
Be better.
Unfortunately it's just one word I'm looking for.
Can you steal?
Better.
Better is not a verb so we're looking for to improve a verb.
Now we'll move on to the intermediate level.
This was the beginner level?
That was the beginner level.
Okay this one is a verb again to generate.
Create.
Who was first?
She was first yeah she was.
I was gonna say create too but okay okay but can you put a sentence?
I'd like to create content for social media.
Excellent.
So the yellow team has four points and the green team has one.
Next one is an adjective.
It is substantial.
Immense.
Technically no.
Substantial is a little bit different to immense.
Immense would mean that it is huge, very very large.
Substantial means that it is considerable or significant or notable.
So no points.
No points.
So yellow loses a point there.
I'm going to move on to the advanced level now.
Feasible.
Understandable.
You lose a point there.
I had one point.
That's not feasible.
Do you want to steal it?
Do I lose a point if I get it wrong?
Yes.
Then no.
Next one.
Intricate.
Detailed.
Correct.
Do you want to make a sentence?
I like All comes down to the last question.
Oh damn.
Here we go.
Anyone can win.
Paramount.
Significant.
You only have one go and it's wrong.
Congratulations yellow.
Winner with three points to one.
Congratulations.
Welcome to round two of the IELTS Advantage quiz.
This part of the quiz is called textbook versus native English.
I will say the textbook version of something and they try and guess how a native English speaker would say it.
For example.
I do not understand what you're saying.
I'm not following you.
So the first one.
I need to leave now.
I must go right away.
No.
Technically correct but that's not how a native English speaker would say it.
I gotta go right now.
Excellent.
Or I should get going.
I should get going.
I gotta go or I should get going.
Okay.
This makes me feel so angry.
This makes me very angry.
This pisses me off.
Very good.
I don't think I get the game.
You gotta make it like slang.
Okay.
I'm trying to make it.
So it's not.
You're trying to like rephrase it.
Yeah.
Professionally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't be professional.
So what you're saying is technically correct.
English is perfect but you sound more like an English robot.
I'm so tired.
I'm lethargic.
That is a more advanced way of saying it but it's not a natural way of saying it.
Stop.
What's wrong with my brain?
I'm dead.
Very good.
So I need to speak the way I normally speak?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Exactly.
You got this.
You got this.
Don't stress.
Yes.
I agree with that.
No.
No.
You could have had.
I second that.
Yeah definitely or for sure.
I understand your situation.
Um I get you.
Very good.
So three one.
Yellow green.
That is not a problem.
Don't even worry about it.
Excellent.
Or no worries.
No worries.
Yeah.
I do not know.
No idea.
Excellent.
Are you available this weekend?
Are you free this weekend?
Perfect.
Yes.
Four three.
I have completed the task.
I'm done.
Good.
So green team four.
Yellow team four.
We have one question left.
This is quite challenging.
This is hard.
That's tough.
I'll give you both a point.
Yeah.
We're pretty good.
So I'll give you both a point.
Both winners.
Welcome to round three of the IELTS Advantage quiz.
In this quiz we're going to focus on vocabulary.
I will show a sentence and I'll show you two possibilities.
Only one of them is correct.
I will show you this piece of paper.

So it's stop is don't.
Oh, don't count your eggs before they hatch.
Oh, don't put all your eggs in a bucket.
In a basket.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Oh, really?
This is so wrong.
This is rigged.
Welcome to round five of the quiz.
This is generation alpha versus millennials.
My glamorous assistant will show these two millennials some generation alpha slang.
They will either have to guess the meaning or for a bonus point, give a millennial synonym of that slang word.
Charming.
Correct.
Someone who has a lot of charisma.
Is there a millennial version of that?
Riz.
No, but Riz is not.
Riz is Gen Z, right?
Yeah.
Slay means like absolutely perfecting something and like.
Very good.
Very good.
All right.
Next one.
Talking too much.
Yapping.
That's correct.
Also one of the most common comments we get from me on our IELTS videos.
Oh, wow.
You're just yapping?
Wow.
Outfit.
You're fit.
You're outfitted.
Oh, okay.
Oh, impact differently.
Like this hits different, like deeply.
Can you give a more precise?
Hits different is like in a league of its own.
It's unique.
So both of you are correct.

Welcome to the last round of the IELTS Advantage quiz.
This is IELTS English versus normal English.
I will say it in a very, very overcomplicated way.
Something that a native English speaker would never say.
And they will translate it into normal, everyday English.
I would like to articulate my perspective regarding this significant matter.
I'd like to present my idea in a more proper way.
Nearly.
Nearly.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
There's an easier, simpler way of saying that.
Go.

Excellent.
Excellent.
Or an even better way would be, I want to share my thoughts on this.
Super simple.
Yeah.
I'm of the opinion that this methodology is highly ineffective.
I think this is ineffective, or I think this isn't as good.
Again, nearly.
Try.
This just doesn't work.

I find it difficult to understand.
On a roll.
It is imperative that we implement immediate solutions.
We need to find a solution for this.
Is there a simpler way?
We need to find another word for solution.
Let's simplify things.
We need to fix this right now.
Okay.
Okay.
Better.
I have conducted extensive research into this matter.
I've looked into this a lot.
Perfect.
Are you reading the answer?
You can check.
You can play it back.

This phenomenon has resulted in numerous problems.
This has caused a lot of problems.
Okay.
Yes.
Is that what it is?
Shut up.
I swear I'm not reading.
