1 00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:00,540 Okay. 2 00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:02,730 We're going to move on to part number two. 3 00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:04,680 You can now look at your screen. 4 00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:08,940 Part number two is where you can look at your screen to see the topic card. 5 00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:12,510 You'll be given one minute to review the topic card and take notes. 6 00:00:12,570 --> 00:00:16,170 Afterwards, you'll be given 2 minutes to give your response. 7 00:00:16,530 --> 00:00:18,660 I will be using a two minute timer. 8 00:00:18,660 --> 00:00:23,310 However, you cannot see the clock because on the exam they're not going to give you a clock to look 9 00:00:23,310 --> 00:00:24,150 at also. 10 00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:27,060 So here is your topic card. 11 00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:33,000 Talk about a time when you got lost in a town or city. 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,690 Please say where and when it happened. 13 00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,060 Who was there with you, what you did when you got lost? 14 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,310 And explain how you feel about it. 15 00:00:41,310 --> 00:00:43,350 You have one minute to prepare. 16 00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:47,070 Okay. 17 00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:48,390 Time is up. 18 00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:50,590 You now have 2 minutes to deliver. 19 00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,770 You may begin speaking now. 20 00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:57,800 Well, it may seem strange, but I got lost. 21 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,680 The first time I got lost happened in the city where I lived seven years ago. 22 00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:10,670 So I came into that city as a university student after I entered the university. 23 00:02:10,850 --> 00:02:18,350 I left my family and I moved to another city and had to stay at the dormitory without my friends, without 24 00:02:18,350 --> 00:02:20,870 my friends to start from NYU. 25 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:31,580 So my university was located far from my dormitory, so I have to had to take a trolley bus or fixed 26 00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:33,260 road bus to get there. 27 00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:40,400 And sometimes I had to walk or some distances I also had to to cover on foot. 28 00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:49,730 So a for a girl from a small city, this, this that place seemed a big, big one. 29 00:02:49,730 --> 00:02:52,550 And I felt lost. 30 00:02:53,420 --> 00:03:00,920 It seemed to me that I could never reach my destination whenever I go, because the time I spent on 31 00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:07,730 my work, getting from one place to the other was different, was longer than in my native city where 32 00:03:07,730 --> 00:03:08,600 I was born. 33 00:03:09,260 --> 00:03:17,150 So that feeling of being lost didn't leave me until the first half of the year. 34 00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:26,600 I would say I was too shy to ask someone how how to get to some places because I thought that people 35 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,660 might think I am not sane. 36 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:36,890 Anyway, I tried to to figure out how to get to that places. 37 00:03:37,070 --> 00:03:45,190 But I definitely remember that strong feeling of being alone among the crowd of people. 38 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:52,220 You still managed to stay alone without helpless, without any advice or support. 39 00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:53,090 Time is up. 40 00:03:53,390 --> 00:03:54,560 Thank you very much. 41 00:03:54,590 --> 00:03:57,590 We're now going to go ahead and move to part number two. 42 00:03:58,930 --> 00:04:02,860 I mean, part number three, please make sure that you block your screen. 43 00:04:03,580 --> 00:04:08,140 These are going to be some follow up questions about getting lost. 44 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,920 Do you often get lost? 45 00:04:13,650 --> 00:04:19,500 I'm actually not very often because I try to travel. 46 00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:25,230 When I travel, I try to do it with my friends or colleagues festival or we travel a lot. 47 00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:31,110 We go to the conferences in other cities and I travel with my friends. 48 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:40,350 But with experience it gets easier, much easier because you you see that people there are people everywhere. 49 00:04:40,350 --> 00:04:48,970 There are lots of places to use the information on your phone to use a map and even to take a taxi to 50 00:04:48,980 --> 00:04:54,600 to get you to some places, to travelling to different places, to foreign places. 51 00:04:54,780 --> 00:04:56,490 Doesn't scare me anymore. 52 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:58,170 All right. 53 00:04:58,380 --> 00:05:01,530 Is map reading skill important? 54 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,050 Maybe. 55 00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:09,120 Yes, but I would say that some people are desperate with reading maps. 56 00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:18,690 Sometimes I manage to get lost when I use my satnav and I need some certain place. 57 00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:26,220 Then I at some point I decide that it is wrong and I go in the different directions. 58 00:05:26,220 --> 00:05:27,720 But then I. 59 00:05:28,290 --> 00:05:33,210 I decided my navigator was right and I returned back to the place. 60 00:05:33,420 --> 00:05:34,110 So sometimes. 61 00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:35,630 Sometimes it puzzles me. 62 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:45,930 Maybe there are other people with logical mindset who for whom it's easier to orient using maps. 63 00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:51,630 For me, it's easier to ask a person for directions and get to my destination. 64 00:05:53,150 --> 00:05:58,880 OC and should a person try to discover information about a place before going? 65 00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:01,500 Definitely. 66 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:09,690 If you want to have a quality time somewhere, you should take a trouble to go to Google. 67 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:17,460 The information about the city, especially about the places which are famous like landmarks and some 68 00:06:17,460 --> 00:06:18,810 information about them. 69 00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:26,460 So when you come to the to the place where you are staying on holiday, you have a certain idea how 70 00:06:26,460 --> 00:06:36,270 to occupy yourself in your free time, where to go and check if the information provided by them by 71 00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:45,420 the websites are true and check some facts maybe on the place, on on the spot, you can get some some 72 00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:50,700 new facts, some new details which might interest you more. 73 00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:52,290 All right. 74 00:06:52,290 --> 00:06:55,020 And what is the importance of traveling? 75 00:06:57,060 --> 00:07:00,660 So they tried magic for, like traveling. 76 00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:01,620 Broadens your mind. 77 00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:02,310 Mind? 78 00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:04,390 It's what we teach our children. 79 00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:07,440 Yeah, but since I started traveling, I. 80 00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:09,720 I changed a lot. 81 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,190 Because the more people you know, the more ideas you get. 82 00:07:14,460 --> 00:07:17,070 It definitely broadens your outlook. 83 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:27,900 You don't feel yourself as a small person on a small sport in some godforsaken place. 84 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,720 You know that there are people around you. 85 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,080 There is a great world which is ready to explore and you only have to make a step. 86 00:07:38,370 --> 00:07:39,000 All right. 87 00:07:39,450 --> 00:07:40,700 Thank you very much, Delina. 88 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:45,990 You did a great job in terms of just some brief comments. 89 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:48,390 That was really high level work. 90 00:07:48,390 --> 00:07:48,900 So. 91 00:07:49,290 --> 00:07:52,050 So thank you very much for participating. 92 00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:57,060 I will say that, you know, there is in terms of. 93 00:07:58,450 --> 00:07:59,290 GRAMMER. 94 00:07:59,830 --> 00:08:05,920 The only real Grammer issue I heard dealt with parallelism, for example. 95 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:11,050 And this happened in part number one, where you would say the more this, the more this, the more 96 00:08:11,050 --> 00:08:13,270 this repeated the phrase, the more. 97 00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:18,910 And really, you know, you just say it the first time and then and then continue. 98 00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:23,860 And then you did the same thing again when you said, we enjoy this, we enjoy, we enjoy. 99 00:08:24,340 --> 00:08:26,950 And that really deals with parallelism. 100 00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:31,180 That was the only real grammar issue that I really heard. 101 00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:36,730 Overall, your verb tense usage was really, really, really well done. 102 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,050 When you had to speak about the future tense, you kept it in the future. 103 00:08:41,050 --> 00:08:43,510 When you spoke about the past, you kept it in the past. 104 00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:45,250 You had. 105 00:08:45,250 --> 00:08:54,820 Your vocabulary is really good because I heard really good advanced level vocabulary words such as landmarks 106 00:08:54,820 --> 00:08:57,760 and other types of advanced level words. 107 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:04,330 And then you had which is which is a hallmark of somebody that's getting a score of of 8 to 9 where 108 00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:09,010 you had really good collocations when you said things like human, like figures. 109 00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:14,650 Being able to put together those collocations is what really, really helps us score. 110 00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:17,720 One. 111 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,630 There was only there was only one sentence where you said a word. 112 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,230 And I did not I wasn't clear on what the word was. 113 00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:25,550 You said something like. 114 00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,530 People, people who blink a sense of humor. 115 00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:35,490 I don't know what the word was, but that was the only real. 116 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:35,820 I don't. 117 00:09:36,420 --> 00:09:37,080 I don't remember what. 118 00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:38,340 Well, I couldn't hear it clearly. 119 00:09:38,340 --> 00:09:38,880 Maybe. 120 00:09:38,970 --> 00:09:44,370 But one thing I would like for you to do, and this is still something that's happening in part number 121 00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:48,630 one is I want you to paraphrase that question. 122 00:09:49,460 --> 00:09:51,770 But you still you still are kind of. 123 00:09:51,860 --> 00:09:57,710 And I know you're capable of it, you know, because because of all the other vocabulary. 124 00:09:58,010 --> 00:10:03,050 But some of that some of that really easy vocabulary and the questions that they have. 125 00:10:03,610 --> 00:10:09,770 You can you can if you if you use a synonym for those words or you paraphrase what that question is 126 00:10:09,770 --> 00:10:13,460 talking about, then you're showing the examiner range. 127 00:10:13,790 --> 00:10:19,790 And the more range that you show, the higher your score is going to be. 128 00:10:21,090 --> 00:10:24,920 But that's that's what I that's really what I heard there. 129 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,610 And and just in general, overall, great job. 130 00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:31,970 Your fluency is is really off the charts. 131 00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:35,270 I did not hear any hesitation. 132 00:10:35,270 --> 00:10:39,800 There were no there were no bouts of silence. 133 00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:45,830 Some of those times you had to clear your throat, and that does not count as hesitation. 134 00:10:46,690 --> 00:10:47,050 Craig. 135 00:10:47,050 --> 00:10:49,690 I could tell sometimes you were just clearing your throat. 136 00:10:50,380 --> 00:10:54,620 And that's not the same thing as saying I'm right. 137 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,270 So. 138 00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:57,170 But overall, great job. 139 00:10:57,190 --> 00:10:58,930 Thank you so much for participating.
