1
00:00:00,610 --> 00:00:01,010
Okay.

2
00:00:01,030 --> 00:00:04,690
And now we're going to go ahead and move on to part number two so you can look at your screen now.

3
00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:05,860
Okay.

4
00:00:07,060 --> 00:00:07,520
Okay.

5
00:00:07,540 --> 00:00:10,360
And so you're going to see a topic card.

6
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:14,410
I'm going to read the general topic to you.

7
00:00:14,650 --> 00:00:21,760
You'll then have one minute to prepare and then afterwards I'll stop you and give you 2 minutes to speak

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,320
and deliver your response.

9
00:00:23,770 --> 00:00:24,190
Okay.

10
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:24,670
Okay.

11
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,270
Okay.

12
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:26,290
All right.

13
00:00:26,290 --> 00:00:33,790
So I want you to describe a time when you were sick or injured.

14
00:00:35,170 --> 00:00:36,820
You have one minute to prepare.

15
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:37,960
Okay.

16
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:57,910
Okay.

17
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Please stop.

18
00:01:59,530 --> 00:01:59,930
Okay.

19
00:02:00,470 --> 00:02:07,100
You now have 2 minutes to speak and you may begin speaking now.

20
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:08,910
Okay.

21
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:20,250
Well, while I was while I was a child, I my injury or my greatest injury was I had the tonsillitis,

22
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:22,680
which is an inflammation in the tonsils.

23
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:31,410
The tonsils is it's already here beside your over your esophagus.

24
00:02:31,740 --> 00:02:37,170
So I had an inflammation and it was a tremendously.

25
00:02:40,870 --> 00:02:41,920
I felt like.

26
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:43,920
See.

27
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:51,290
Well, it hurts me a lot.

28
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:58,640
And my it was like inflammation and I had fever.

29
00:02:58,670 --> 00:03:00,920
I was feverish all the time.

30
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:06,950
And, like, fever, it's like I had a very high temperature, body temperature.

31
00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:13,700
And then I went to the doctor and he had he had I had an operation.

32
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,680
And that operation was was very hard to me as a child.

33
00:03:19,460 --> 00:03:28,250
But it went like so well because I had a very good doctor and my family and my friends were had very

34
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:31,040
supported me very well in a very good way.

35
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:40,130
But in the start, I already felt like I was alone and I, I, I don't want to live anymore and like

36
00:03:40,130 --> 00:03:42,500
all the negative feelings.

37
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:44,270
But afterwards

38
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,590
I, after recovery, my mum was always supporting me.

39
00:03:51,590 --> 00:04:03,260
And, but the very, the very good thing that I remember that it was like my doctor told my mum that

40
00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:12,420
I had, I have to had a very cold like type of food like jelly and ice cream and very cold food and

41
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,960
never had any, like, warm.

42
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:15,980
Yes.

43
00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:16,250
Okay.

44
00:04:19,130 --> 00:04:20,180
The 2 minutes?

45
00:04:20,430 --> 00:04:22,160
No, that is 2 minutes.

46
00:04:22,190 --> 00:04:22,730
Of course.

47
00:04:22,820 --> 00:04:23,140
Okay.

48
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:25,150
So please cover your screen again.

49
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,690
We're going to move on to part number three.

50
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:27,500
Okay.

51
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,320
All right.

52
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:43,440
And so now I have some follow up questions on the topic we were just talking about in terms of illness

53
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,400
and sickness.

54
00:04:44,770 --> 00:04:45,360
Okay.

55
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:50,820
Okay.

56
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:59,220
So question number one, what difficulties did some people face with social distancing as a result of

57
00:04:59,220 --> 00:05:00,960
the coronavirus outbreak?

58
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:06,480
Well, I think the difficulty is that it's mainly psychological.

59
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,280
The psychological

60
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:20,700
difficulties that the people the people face, like people are not used are not used, that they don't

61
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,210
get talking to each other.

62
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,790
Like the hugging thing, like they getting close to each other.

63
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:36,780
They're not used to that and that affect them tremendously on their on their psychological psychologically.

64
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:42,000
And that was the the worst thing I see that affected them.

65
00:05:44,350 --> 00:05:53,630
Also, they also didn't see the real the real benefit behind behind that is that they are protecting

66
00:05:53,630 --> 00:05:57,200
themselves against the virus.

67
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:57,980
All right.

68
00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:05,390
And what technology has helped us to manage and combat the effects of the coronavirus?

69
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,300
Yes, of course, the Internet.

70
00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:20,990
The Internet already connected the people on a on a very hard in a very good way, like the can I can

71
00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:21,890
give you an example.

72
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:32,540
Like the there is many applications that give them the capability to connect to each other, like Zoom

73
00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:37,880
application or or even Facebook Messenger or even WhatsApp video.

74
00:06:38,180 --> 00:06:45,410
All of these things, I think it's is, is the make it easier for them so that they can communicate

75
00:06:45,410 --> 00:06:47,400
with each other often.

76
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:57,620
And finally, what can people do to maintain a positive state of mind during a pandemic?

77
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:07,710
I think reading I think reading will be reading on a daily basis.

78
00:07:07,900 --> 00:07:11,130
How far away from even the coronavirus?

79
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:22,080
Always send you a message that that helps you to communicate with yourself first before communicating

80
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:22,740
with others.

81
00:07:22,740 --> 00:07:31,620
And I think this is the main thing that everyone has to do so they can help themselves to get out of

82
00:07:31,770 --> 00:07:35,010
any zone that they can't get out from.

83
00:07:36,910 --> 00:07:37,460
Okay.

84
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:37,870
All right.

85
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:39,490
So thank you very much, my.

86
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,090
Give me a moment to look over my notes, and I'll be right with you.

87
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:44,320
Of course.

88
00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:44,710
Of course.

89
00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:45,550
I will be waiting.

90
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:50,500
Okay.

91
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:58,330
So my in terms of scoring, I think your score right now is around 6.5.

92
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:07,750
And when I say around 6.5, that means it could be as low as a six, you know, because it's it's subjective.

93
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:15,500
Anytime you're scoring, speaking and writing, even though examiners have a rubric in front of them

94
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:18,980
that they go by, it's still really a subjective.

95
00:08:20,110 --> 00:08:22,420
It's still a subjective.

96
00:08:22,420 --> 00:08:25,930
So everybody is between the range, to be honest with you.

97
00:08:25,930 --> 00:08:30,190
People are between a six and 6.5 where they're between a 6.5 and a seven.

98
00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:34,870
You know, I think you're between the six and 6.5.

99
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,860
I do think that if you make if you make some of the corrections or adjustments that I'm going to mention

100
00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:46,570
to you, you can move up into being a person that's seven or more.

101
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:53,710
But but you're but you're making some mistakes that are that are hurting you.

102
00:08:54,060 --> 00:08:55,660
Do you do you know what those mistakes are?

103
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,350
Some of them I know them.

104
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,910
I already said some words in Arabic.

105
00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:04,120
And I think this is not the it's not right.

106
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,250
And other I keep on I have keep I kept saying tremendously so.

107
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:19,330
So many the word tremendously and also some answers was not was was only a general and not for the specific

108
00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:21,250
worth, like you said in the course.

109
00:09:22,690 --> 00:09:22,980
All right.

110
00:09:23,050 --> 00:09:26,560
And so some other things were related to grammar.

111
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,370
Grammar.

112
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:32,770
Grammar is one of your lowest areas on your rubric score because your your scored in each of the four

113
00:09:32,770 --> 00:09:33,220
areas.

114
00:09:33,220 --> 00:09:35,020
But grammar was a problem.

115
00:09:36,370 --> 00:09:38,770
So for example, I'll give you some examples.

116
00:09:38,770 --> 00:09:39,170
Yes.

117
00:09:39,170 --> 00:09:44,440
So for example, you were saying you would say things like the most the most scientifically and you

118
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,300
should have said the most scientific.

119
00:09:46,930 --> 00:09:54,900
You would say things like the most things the most of the time you were talking about the past.

120
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:56,830
And he would say, I found that and you should have.

121
00:09:57,310 --> 00:10:00,390
Well, you were talking about the you were you were talking about the present.

122
00:10:00,460 --> 00:10:04,120
You want you want to say, I find that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

123
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,860
I found that.

124
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:06,610
Yes.

125
00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:14,140
Sometimes you're using the article the and you should be using article A.

126
00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:17,070
There.

127
00:10:17,070 --> 00:10:26,340
You have to definitely work on your your sentence structure because you have a tendency to say and blah,

128
00:10:26,340 --> 00:10:29,670
blah, blah and this and that.

129
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:34,230
I have to like put a comma and then at the end I add and.

130
00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:34,460
Right.

131
00:10:34,530 --> 00:10:35,280
Exactly.

132
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,280
Because you were you were you were doing that with and also you were doing the same thing with the word

133
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:47,040
or or this blah, blah, blah or that you have to work on.

134
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:54,290
Repeating repeating the same words like you mentioned that earlier yourself.

135
00:10:54,290 --> 00:10:59,120
But you you said the word situation probably like five or six times.

136
00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:00,140
Okay.

137
00:11:01,250 --> 00:11:02,180
The situation.

138
00:11:02,180 --> 00:11:02,990
The situation,

139
00:11:06,260 --> 00:11:07,150
maybe I'm right.

140
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:08,660
It's memorized in my mind.

141
00:11:08,660 --> 00:11:16,100
So I get something and you know, you have to work on mixing up some of your discourse markers because

142
00:11:16,100 --> 00:11:19,460
you use the word actually several times.

143
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,660
And when you're talking about when you're talking about being a person that gets a score of like a seven

144
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:33,560
or an eight, what normally sets that person apart is their ability to paraphrase.

145
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:41,570
And also they arrange the paraphrase, their range of discourse markers they use for fluency, their

146
00:11:41,570 --> 00:11:44,480
range of vocabulary that they use.

147
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:51,500
So for example, in terms of vocabulary, when you when you using the word needs, you're talking about

148
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:52,220
your job.

149
00:11:52,220 --> 00:11:57,530
When you're using the word needs, you want to use a word, a more advanced word, like require.

150
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,640
You know, instead of using the word instead of using the word good, we want to use the more advanced

151
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,330
word than a better synonym, right?

152
00:12:06,340 --> 00:12:06,630
Yeah.

153
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,960
Better than just good.

154
00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:08,760
Right.

155
00:12:10,990 --> 00:12:13,270
And then there was like I said, there were grammatical issues.

156
00:12:13,270 --> 00:12:19,840
When you were talking about your job, you would say you were thinking about your job and then you were

157
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,450
saying, it needs to be focused.

158
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:24,760
I need to be focused.

159
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,010
Yes.

160
00:12:25,020 --> 00:12:25,330
Yeah.

161
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,070
You know, you would say my job.

162
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:30,520
My job requires me to be to my job.

163
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:37,660
The way you would say that at a higher level is my job requires me to remain focused.

164
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:39,190
Yes, of course.

165
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,010
Or my job like my job requires.

166
00:12:42,020 --> 00:12:46,150
Well, my job requires me to maintain focus.

167
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,350
Of course.

168
00:12:47,380 --> 00:12:47,920
Of course.

169
00:12:47,930 --> 00:12:48,490
Right.

170
00:12:48,940 --> 00:12:52,870
It needs like you also say it needs medical words.

171
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:54,280
Yes.

172
00:12:54,700 --> 00:12:55,690
My job.

173
00:12:56,980 --> 00:12:57,940
I need.

174
00:12:57,940 --> 00:13:00,400
I need medical words to do my job.

175
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:01,990
Right?

176
00:13:02,260 --> 00:13:06,780
Not not that it needs the job, but they don't require or need.

177
00:13:06,790 --> 00:13:08,140
I need another job.

178
00:13:08,170 --> 00:13:08,950
Exactly.

179
00:13:08,950 --> 00:13:09,310
Yes.

180
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:16,210
So that's why I say really know on the high end you're around a 6.5.

181
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:17,520
But there's probably more.

182
00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:21,370
It's probably actually actually after I've gone through all this is probably around a six.

183
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:30,850
I think in terms of your strength, you do actually have good fluency at times you have at times you

184
00:13:30,850 --> 00:13:32,020
have hesitation.

185
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:33,820
Yes, I know.

186
00:13:33,940 --> 00:13:42,310
And when you whenever you are whenever you're speaking in a sentence and you have hesitation in the

187
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:44,830
middle of the sentence, it breaks up the coherence.

188
00:13:45,490 --> 00:13:48,700
And and that can be somewhat of a of a problem.

189
00:13:49,420 --> 00:13:54,280
But in general, you don't have a problem talking and you don't have a problem expanding your ideas

190
00:13:54,490 --> 00:13:59,290
and explain problem is where the sentence structure itself is structure.

191
00:13:59,290 --> 00:14:02,170
And you want to you want to get through it smoothly.

192
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:07,960
Of course, you want to get through a smoothly and you want to you want to improve your sequencing devices.

193
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:14,470
So when you're talking about things, when you're when you're sequencing and you're going explaining,

194
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:17,560
there are several questions where you had to sequence in information.

195
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,250
Yes.

196
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:25,870
And when you're sequencing, you have to be able to shift from this to the next when when you're sequencing.

197
00:14:25,870 --> 00:14:29,350
And you have to be able to do that a little bit better.

198
00:14:29,890 --> 00:14:30,790
So.

199
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,110
In in your part, too, in general, you did a a you did a pretty good job.

200
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:43,130
There was there was a long pause in the middle of your party, which you recovered fine.

201
00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:50,570
But there were some grammar issues in there also, like it was it was very hard to me as a child that

202
00:14:50,570 --> 00:14:53,390
should be it was very difficult for me as a child.

203
00:14:54,320 --> 00:15:01,130
So it's it's things it's it's problems like that that you have to work on.

204
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:07,220
But but but my you're very, very capable of doing much better than that.

205
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,660
You just have to.

206
00:15:08,690 --> 00:15:10,850
You have to exhibit more control.

207
00:15:11,090 --> 00:15:14,540
You have to you have to you have to exhibit more grammatical control.

208
00:15:14,810 --> 00:15:20,940
You have to be more precise in your words and your word choice, you know.

209
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:26,780
And you have to you have to work on your your sentence structure, sentence variety.

210
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:28,820
Yes, of course.

211
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:36,020
If you work on those things, if you work on those issues, then you're going to be okay.

212
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:37,220
You'll get a higher score.

213
00:15:37,310 --> 00:15:37,850
Yes.

214
00:15:37,850 --> 00:15:44,390
Well, it was actually my first trial today and it suggested on me that I go through because I didn't

215
00:15:44,390 --> 00:15:48,680
get to the speaking section in the course yet.

216
00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:56,960
But I recently get through it today, like before the course, before the that trial, before the simulation,

217
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,510
like 2 hours or something.

218
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,520
Yeah, that's why that's all what I get right now.

219
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,270
But I will work on these points that you told me right now.

220
00:16:05,510 --> 00:16:05,980
Okay.

221
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:10,310
Well, my thank you very much for volunteering to help us out.

222
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,020
It was great to have somebody from from North Africa volunteer.

223
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:16,700
Thank you.
