OK so this is going to be the speaking test for Julia and Julia before we get started.
Do you have any questions at all.
No.
OK you.
Have you taken the highlights of them before.
No I haven't.
This is your very first time.
Yes.
This is the first time.
OK.
All right good.
And so how do you feel about it.
I feel ready prepared a little you know was as well.
But I am ready to beg the best.
OK.
I like that.
And why do you feel nervous.
It's just that I have exam Zygi.
Usually when I take some exams especially like I say exams or do exams in the past I would have a little
anxiety just before that.
And what makes me what do you normally do.
What do you normally do to combat that anxiety.
Actually I don't prepare two days before the test.
I just relax go out and you know how some the nerves are go out and play or talk to friends.
And then how very good night to.
That helps me be dang right.
OK.
That's that's pretty good.
That's that's that's actually a pretty good one.
So that means that means you're means you are very well-prepared in order to do that which is good.
That means that you're very well-prepared.
The only the only thing that I would add to that would be just to only speak English OK.
Yeah.
That is something I'm not doing right now because my mother tongue is there Lou and I speak to my husband
with daily rule already and I'm not cranky implied.
So yeah.
Nowadays I'm not speaking in English.
Does your husband speak English.
Yeah.
He speaks English but we are used to speaking you know our mother.
OK well that's great.
Well then in that life you have no excuse when when is your test on.
Good.
OK.
All right so you.
All right.
So you OK that's great.
That means you have no excuse to not speak English all day.
Yes yes definitely.
I will take your advice and be implemented right away.
Yeah like immediately like right away.
Yeah.
There's there's there's no there's nothing.
And one thing that you can do even even though you're not taking the test right even though you're not
taking the test when you when you're just when you're is over the next couple of days just talking to
your husband just naturally just naturally give him really long answers.
All right.
You know so for example if your husband ask you if he says Gallia How is your day to day.
Don't don't say my day was fine.
Right.
That didn't happen because that would be that would be a bad answer on the Isles exam just do you know
just practice just give him really long answers.
Well in the beginning of my day it was very stressful because we got to work and five people didn't
show up.
So there were a lot of pressure on me to be able to start my day.
However when I got to the middle of the day it got a little bit easier because some of those people
that didn't show up actually showed up.
And so that took a lot of pressure off the rest of us.
So by the end of my day I was feeling great and work was going very smoothly.
So by the time I got home to you everything was good.
OK right.
Nice long answers to your husband very long answers only English rhyme only.
You have to be very very strict about that.
OK.
Sure.
All right.
So we're going to go through the different parts of the test.
I'm going to start you on part number one and then we'll move through it step by step.
And if I hear any things along the way that I need to point out to you I'll point those things out to
you.
OK.
Yeah definitely.
All right.
So could you please give me your full name.
It is.
I mean you are the OK.
And what name would you prefer me to call you.
It is Jack
OK.
And what does Jiah mean.
Jayal means with three in our Maybe language
OK.
I saw one.
One thing that I'm here already Jiah is you've got to extend.
OK.
So Jeyes OK.
You mean like when you asked me the direct questions like What is your name Tobias and at that point
on so if you wanted to me for example my you know my my full name is Jiah blah blah blah blah blah you
know my my friends and my close friends and family like to call me just.
So I'm fine with you calling me that.
All right.
I got that.
So yeah.
Jay I mean we Torrijos.
So that's the name which my mom gave me during my book and people kept calling me and I got used to
that name.
And by golly at school they called me.
Why me.
The second name in the first name I see that's a better answer.
All right because remember as an English test and so the degree to really shot this show that you can
talk out right now is not really about what you're saying but more importantly by how you're saying
I don't because I'm not I'm not as a great I'm not I remember all this stuff you say it.
I will I will I will remember how you said it though.
Adam OK.
Now where are you from.
I'm originally from southern Florida.
I was born in a city called Vishakha.
And then after that I moved to Hyderabad.
My dad used to work at a government office and then my chain had happened in Hyderabad and at the age
of 23 I moved to United States to pursue my masters degree.
OK.
And from there I have been living in the United States.
All right.
And how has your hometown in your country changed over the past 20 years.
My hometown Hyderabad is a very good place to stay.
But then I've been to my hometown recently.
I have seen a tremendous change.
Like I can see a contrast from my childhood to the current state of affairs in the home down.
The traffic was nothing compared to right now.
The traffic is actually horrible.
But the other sightseeing places are ready if they can get the army getting them very well.
And there are a lot of shopping malls.
And of also the new IP offices the corporate offices.
So this didn't exist when I was that child.
And our Dodson's.
All right.
And all I can say that I'm in a change.
All right.
And do you work for study.
I neither work nor study.
Currently I'm on in my team and I'm unemployed but I'm actively looking for positions.
OK.
And in what area are you looking for a position.
I am looking for positions in the I feel project management.
Right after that I work as I develop or I the business analyst and I have said several roles in the
area of the project management and development but I actually want to walk into the project management
completely and then be able to progress my caveat in that yeah.
Okay.
And why why did you choose this field.
I chose this field mainly because I'm very good at programming.
I like to chord and be in the top of the technical field.
It's very interesting.
It's very interesting and challenging as well.
So you know when you're doing a really good job of extending your answers just be careful with some
of the questions you're forgetting to paraphrase.
So for example say why did you choose that feel you might want to stop saying I selected this area of
work because why not use the same words.
No no no no.
Yeah.
Because you're doing you actually you actually have no problem extending your answers but you are having
a tendency to kind of repeat the same language of the question.
And one of the hallmarks when you look at the band descriptor of somebody who's getting a score of 78
or even higher is their able to paraphrase frequently or paraphrase effectively.
So you're able to paraphrase paraphrasing shows a higher skill level in English because somebody that
has a low level of English they tend to repeat the questions right back at the greater.
And that's something you don't want to do.
So the way you're starting off is more like a low level student but you're doing a great great job of
extending so I can tell you're not that.
But you just have to be conscious of just not trying your best to paraphrase so that you can help yourself
and not hurt yourself.
OK.
All right here now that thing might have have you received any specific type of training for the work
that you previously did.
Apart from getting my masters degree in engineering seen I have done a couple of certifications in the
IP area like a business analyst certification and CSM certified scrum master.
I have taken some online courses in AWOS or Amazon Web Services web development and EEI.
So I could say that all this prepared me for this your a very good answer.
Now let's move on and we are going to talk about shoes.
All right.
How often do you buy shoes.
I love my four very large.
It's one of my favorite accessories.
Oh I see people actually buy my shoes.
In the modern stuff or in November when there's a Thanksgiving sale.
Sometimes I do buy them on Labor Day as well.
And I typically buy them my Macy's are online on the Amazon Web site.
So yeah I love my shoes.
Yeah.
OK.
When was the last time you purchased two shoes.
So the last paid off shoes that were worn by me were in 2017.
I remember them buying them.
I remember them to be bought at the store in liks and then all I don't remember the store name though
but this shoe a fancy kind of boots.
There is a kind of emblem on the shoe.
They were a nice pair of shoe OK.
One saying that I want you to remember the truth doesn't matter.
OK.
All right.
You're trying.
You're trying to actually remember the last time you bought new shoes.
And it does it you don't have to because you what you did was when you were trying to remember that
you had more pausing and hesitation in your speech because you were trying to remember something.
Right and it doesn't really matter in terms of they're not going to know you know the last the last
time I bought a new pair of shoes was last week.
You know it doesn't you know it doesn't matter when you when you know what was the actual time.
So don't don't don't struggle and mess up other parts of your speaking score because you're trying to
remember something specifically.
OK.
All right.
Now what type of shoes do you normally wear.
Oh there are a range of shoes I can only read but I actually like the casual shoes a lot.
These are kind of shoes which you get at the department store.
So the leading shoes like sandals plumbe and also the boots which are for a window rather.
So these are the kind of shoes which I prefer depending on the weather condition.
OK.
And do you prefer comfortable shoes or fashionable shoes.
Comfort is the most important thing when I choose my shoes or like I said before I had them depending
on the weather.
So like if it is a winter season I go for the ball.
And if it is a summer season I just wear flip flops depending on the casual situation.
But if I'm going to an office I wear the following.
So yeah it all changes.
But the situation and weather comfort is the most important thing.
Yes.
All right.
Now let's move on and talk about sunglasses.
Do you wear.
Do you wear sunglasses.
So when it is hot outside everyone needs to wear sunglasses because you need protection from the you
need.
And I myself don't miss that sunglasses when I'm going out or when I'm driving.
It's very important for me that biproduct my eyes.
Would you give someone a.
Would you give someone sunglasses as a gift.
I actually give them sunglasses to my friend.
And she loved it.
And she was actually thinking of buying sunglasses that season.
And she was so surprised you can get the gift I have given her OK.
That's a good answer.
Did you just make that up.
Yes.
He said See how easy it is.
It's so easy.
You just made that up.
That was a beautiful answer and you just made it up.
Yes.
Right.
You through this.
Yes.
You just you fluently just made that up.
Yes.
Right.
That was a very good answer.
All right.
It was a very very good answer.
No it was you know very good.
I mean you're you're doing good you did a good job of quickly implementing what I say in terms of instead
of just thinking about it just saying something and saying it fluently.
Good answer.
All right.
Do do youngsters like to wear sunglasses.
When I head out and then go to downtown Boston I see a lot of adults and bading sunglasses.
I think it's set right nowadays especially in the summer months.
They do let them like it's not gender specific as well.
So like I see all of them men of boys and girls wearing sunglasses so I think it's a crime always to
wear sunglasses.
Yes.
Very good.
Now that word is pronounced adolescent Yeah adolescent.
Yes.
OK good.
All right you said.
