Thank you Lucy for agreeing to publish this and allowing so many to learn from your mistakes. A bit of practise and you will surely overcome the flaws.

Hi Lucy, if you are reading this, good job on trying the IELTS test interview. I believe you can do a lot better just with a bit of confidence! Just keep practicing with people you are comfortable with. Good luck, Lucy!

It is clear that she knows English much more than she performed in this video. She could get at least 6, 6.5 or even more if she practised IELTS techniques before the exam and managed her stress. This video shows that both "Knowledge" and "Techniques" are important.

*No problem Lucy, you'll have our support* 🇧🇷 😊

She's not wasting time. She's just giving direct answers to the questions. Well done Lucy. You will be improve. Love from Sri Lanka. 😘😘😘

Here is the thing: She doesn't have any experience in Ielts However,this is totally understandable becauce it is her first time. I completely sure that after this exam,she will change her mindset and work relentlessly to achieve her goal.

remember the IELTS doesn't test your knowledge in english, it tests your knowledge on the exam itself, once you find out this, you will study according to the test specifically.

I believe that all she needs is a little bit of practice and a boost of confidence ,keep going ! This channel is perfect as it helped me reach a band 8 on my test I’m sure that watching your videos will help her.

I think Lucy has a good passive english as seen from her vocabulary and i can tell she is nervous that she uses is rather than was. She needs to get some speaking buddy and practice her active english.

Lucy is a freaking genius! She can literally answer any question with a single word!

Thank you Lucy for demonstrating the condition what Chinese's true reaction in IELTS oral test. It's so hard to be relaxed in such stressful examing room, however, you tried it. Everything that doesn't beat you will make you stronger! I hope you getting better day by day.

Thank you for posting this simulation, I learn a lot from Lucy, I have been in the same situation - Lucy no problem, you will come back stronger and better!! come on!!!

I LOVE her pronunciation actually .. she needs to practise and be more confident and we're all with you lucyy .. we've all been the same at some point 👏👏

Lucy tried. She's stronger than those who haven't tried, yet mock her in their hearts. You're the best, Lucy!

I love how people are so supportive of and believe to lucy. I hope there will be a video for her improvement

Lucie u did a good job!!Keep yourself encouraged.We aren't native speakers so there can be some issues with our pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Keep moving,no matter your pace♥️💪🏻 Love from 🇱🇰🇱🇰

Lucy, don't lose your motivation. You tried your best! Keep it up girl.

Lucy, you are just an introvert. Sometimes it's just hard to express when you are nervous but you tried and made an effort to express and articulate your first IELTS speaking mock exam.

I believe she's going to do well next time. Sending you virtual hugs and support, Lucy!!

I think Lucy is an introvert as one myself we tend to give short and precise answers. Obviously she's nervous which could be because of lack of practice and interaction with others. She just need to get out of her shell , we all make mistakes so I hope she learns from experience.

Lucy, you did well. We are supporting you. Keep encouraging, keep working. ❤️ I think, her problem is the way of expressing ( lack of expressing ).

Great job Lucy ! You made a amazing contribution to anyone who are prepared for IELTS exam ! Also definitely sure that you will get high scores for your IETS next time!

Hey Chris, you are absolutely right. This video is really helpful.

I'm coming here to cheer Lucy up because once I was just like her in the exam and it was sooooooo stressful!

Hi Chris, this is a very good one, to be honest. We're all used to seeing the best students of your academy performing with high scores in a mocking test of this kind, showcasing their language level (which in some cases it's very close to that of a native speaker) and many of us don't really know what to do or what shouldn't be done in the exam. Even though I'm aware of some of the mistakes that I should avoid in the exam, the truth is that I'm still uncertain to what point do I have to expand in the responses and how the band levels are related to the quality of my speaking abilities.

I just wanna tell Lucy. Keep it up. You can be better than before. By the way, thank you for sharing this mock test with us,Chris.

She understands well all the questions and answer simply. Good job Lucy! And keep going💯

Thank you, Chris, for these amazing materials! Thanks to you and your team, I had the chance to expand my English skills and to have great IELTS results. Because I couldn't afford to have a private tutor, I have strictly followed your guidelines and I made it! Hopefully, every follower will wisely use all these videos as they have only one purpose: to help you understand and succeed in the IELTS exam. I cannot recommend this channel more!

personally ive always been taught when learning forgein languages (as a native english speaker) that as long as the other person can understand generally what you are saying then its a reasonable degree of fluency. i think Lucy will be really great at english now that she understand kind of how it works and she will study really hard! i also dont really like the term lack of comprehension. idk but i always feel kind of bad about myself when someone says that too me so i think we should say things like didnt quite understand correctly. it encourages people that they can get it but they just need to practice more

This video is more likely to help starters of IELTS..will show them how they need to improve..Thanks to wonderful teacher[Chris] who always acts as a good director. Watching videos on this channel is more of relaxation for me. Really really worth watching.

Thank you Lucy i have learned so many things from your mistakes. I think you will get band 9 from speaking when you practise more with people. And also this channel is so helpful, i love it.

Lucy, you did a great job! Lucy is a non-native speaker who hails from China, where the language Mandarin Chinese is spoken across(which is one of the very difficult languages). She did relatively very well both qualitatively and statistically.

I would just like to wish Lucy well, and hope she does not get discouraged at all. I gave the Academic IELTS very recently, for the first time - results awaited, currently - and though English isn't my native language, I have a strong background in it (my degree was in English Literature, and English was the medium of instruction in most educational institutions I've been in thus far). Having said that, I was still surprised at how much I had to study the test (rather than study for it). Even during prep, I found myself wondering about how difficult it'd all be if I didn't have the aforementioned background. So, Lucy please don't get demotivated. Keep going!

Lucy thank u so much for allowing them to film u and publish it online I hope ur doing great now and happy and because of you im learning more and more thank u so much❤️👏👏

Good luck Lucy with the upcoming days trying more. May God help you and all students. Good job. Keep going. Well done.

funny and educational at the same time. She did great job though. Had some insights how I might look like when I'm uncomfortable and nervous during an interview.

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I know sometimes nervous make us feel bad and we can forget everything. I think Lucy knows, but she needs to boost her confidence and practice more. This is a valuable video as I have my exam in three weeks, thank so much 🤗

I'm so proud of you, you did a great job! I hope that you are even better than before and will go through it again. I wish you good luck!)❤🎉

Your videos have been really useful for me. I have been watching those during the last few weeks before my IELTS exam and eventually got 7.5 in terms of speaking. Thank you so much!

Thank you Lucy for trying your best! I'd like to see her development as a speaker! :)

Thanks Lucy, i haven't taken any class so your performance helps me a lot. Hope you will prepare carefully for your next test.

I watched your videos and got 7.0 bands in speaking and an overall 8.0! Thank you!

I have learned so much with those videos, thanks you, Chris

I praise this sweet girl for having the courage to accept to appear in a "not to do" video.

to be honest, lucy know much more about communication, she's just not familiar with ielts speaking test

Chris, your explanation is superb... Lot's of love. And yeah, keep growing...

Thank you for teaching us about tips and advice in terms of IELTS exam test

Thank you for the video. We as viewers learned a lot. I hope to see Lucy again to see her progress! Good luck to Lucy!!!

Good comment about giving elaborated answers. In many cultures people are taught to give short and direct answers to short and direct questions. And it wouldn't occur to them that you expect elaborated answers.

Lucy, dont problems, You speak better than many I know who say they speak English. The nerves betrayed you a bit and I understand why sometimes I forget words and I look in my mind for another word to quickly replace it and it will depend on how long it takes to look for another word. You have to keep practicing there is no other way.

Lucy,You did a great job.I believe you will do better with little tweaks.Thanks for letting this video publish.All the best Lucy.

I wish in my ilets speaking test I got you as a teacher to evaluate my speaking. in my real test I answered all the answer with some details but I scored 5.5 in speaking. After watching this video I must say in our real exam we really need evaluator like you in some country. I was quite confident that I would get at lest 6.5 when I watched your mock videos.

Thank you Chris for such kind of useful and helpful video . It would be most kind if you could upload more about how to prepare for the speaking test .The benefit will apply to us more than we expect.

Lucy did her best. Honestly I'm also not a native English speaker plus I'm an introvert and these types of interviews will make me very nervous and when I'm nervous I don't understand the questions even if it's in my first language! So I appreciate Lucy so much she did her best I'd never think of taking this interview cause I fear that everyone will mock me for my English but lucy was so courageous and for a first timer she did her best but she got nervous at the end but common we are all human when we are nervous we all also make mistakes. I hope she will become more confident with herself and improve more, all the best Lucy!

Good job Lucy! Well done. I’m pretty sure she learned a lot.

I'm a new comer here and I just wanna say that your video helps me a lot to improve my speaking skill.

She is just like me.yet encouraging. I wish her good luck in the future

Thanks for this video, Chris! It reminds me of 5 years ago.

Thank you Chris ✨✨ the mock exam videos really worked for me and i got band 7 for my speaking test ❤️

When Lucy said "Thank you" and it looked more like "sank you", I could understand her because in my country (Brazil) our lengague (portuguese) doesn't have the sound "Th" and i struggled to learn to speak words with TH

Hey Chris, my name's Seeyam and I'm from Bangladesh. I want to start by saying thankyou so much for these wonderful videos and to all the practice candidates. Recently I took my IELTS examination (probably on the 17th) and got my results on the 23rd. Yes yes I know I should've told you sooner, however the good news is that I received 8.5 in speaking. It should be noted that English isn't my primary language so my confidence in speaking is a bit shaky. Above all, your videos really aided for the test and for that I am grateful. Lastly keep up the good work and have a wonderful day. Thankyou c: bye and take care

Lucy do not get discouraged I m sure you are great and you can do better next time👍💯

Oh my god it is so helpful for me especially. Thanks u and i got many things to avoid when i take my first exam which is of course being nervous all the time.

I loved this video. Lucy's experience has taught me a lot of things and has been helping in the quality of my communication ever since. I hope Lucy is much better right now than before. Moreover, the examiner was too kind too.

Thanks Lucy for allowing us to learn ❤️.

What a channel I have found, which is remarkable. I didn't think that types of video I would get❤

Succes is a slow process there's no shortcut to success you do it again and again. Good job Lucy

Chri think you for your making this great video, it's really really helpful for me to learning English and prepare for the IELTS exam in the someday of the future,

I noticed a few of the same questions I got when I took my IELTS speaking test😂. If you have little time to prepare for the speaking test, just watch these type of videos before the exam because that worked for me.

Great video, after watching it I think what Lucy needs is more practice to improve her speaking level, I used to be about the same level as her, but I often watch videos on this channel, my speaking quickly improved to 6.5 , come on Lucy!

Keep it up ,lucy . You will be more better than before.

bruh, in real life, i would answer those questions the way lucy did too, it's almost all yes or no question, maybe try some open ended question like " what's your opinion on..." instead of " do you..."

This video is so useful. Thanks, Chris and Lucy. Please share more videos band 6.5 - 7 - 7.5

I understand the situation with Lucy. She spoke like this because she was either nervous or felt a lack of confidence. Well done Lucy for your hard work and trying your best!

Lucy is so cute, I love her bangs btw💞 she was hella nervous during this exam, poor girl! I hope the next time everything will end up the best way to her

loved her answers. pretty clear and candid.

This is a great video to explore possibilities. I'm sure Lucy will get the score she needs with training and practice. Another mistake Mai did, was that she didn't ask for the pen and piece of paper. In another video, she encouraged a candidate to continue talking in part 2. I suggest that she don't move or say anything until the time of part 2 is over.

i think this is how the normal conversation going, lucy bahave like a normal person, proud of you lucy

Lucy, I wish you have prepared better than you did. You might see other videos to compare and analyze your mistakes, which could happened to each of us. I hope, you'll improve and your responses will be on absolutely magnificent level. Don't stop please

This video was very useful for me! And examiner was very patient. I wish I would have an examiner like her🥰

Well this is an interesting channel I've come across, wish I knew about it during my exams.. A shame really but anyhow keep your work up.. Other people will find it really helpful.

Hi, Lucy, you can do it. its just a matter of time. Good luck!

Hi Lucy 💕 I watched this video and I believe in you that you can do more all the love ❤️❤️💕🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻... well ..I think the problem was when Mia asked her about a time when she felt lost? And here Lucy remembers a bad story that happened with her and her grandfather I think this bad feeling made her lose focus maybe .. and we noticed her saying repeat the question for me .. I think this is what happened.. anyway thank you for the video 🫶🏻❤️❤️, I benefit from everything English, whether advanced or intermediate Everything is useful 😍❤️ Thank you Chris 🥰💕🫶🏻 thank you for this channel, because it helps me and helps everyone 💕 Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am grateful for Lucy‘s participation,through her mistake I learn a lot.I am looking forward to Lucy’s next episode. We Chinese has a quite different pronunciation system from English.Since Chinese belongs to Sino-Tibetan linguistic system,English belongs to Indo-European languages.This might be one of the origins of the pronunciation difficulties.Moreover,I think another cause which is more central is the inconsistent understanding of “test”.In Chinese education,the Aim of Test is to make sure you get the right answer,not only the math and physics tests require the sole accurate answer,but you also need to respond precisely in the literature and English test.So this education pattern might asks for accuracy rather than expounding the question.That’s why Lucy’s answer pattern is so easy, I think she emphasizes the accuracy rather than explanation.

She did a great job if she study hard and continue encouraged herself she will got better

Straight to the point.. Not need to go beating about the bush. Well done lucy

her pronunciation is ok. It is easy to understand. I think she will do well after undergoing some trainings.

I don't know what to say but definitely the examiner is kind and beautiful✨ too❣️

Hi sir, this is the second time I watch your video. I have to say your work make huge benefit to pupil who want to know what IELTS speaking look like. Actually, at the first I watched a band 8.5 Chinese student's practice which is so awesome. Then I find this low band video for comparing what is different between them. However, just the first part, I could understand thoroughly. As an ability exam, you should express what you have instead of hiding what you know. But at the same time, I have another question: if I talk just fluently (some trivial grammar mistake could not avoid) but without use the advance vocabulary, which band will I have ? Sorry, for the ambiguous answer :D

This is what Chinese education result. Focusing on the correct answer and ignoring the process. Totally reflected on the conversation.

Lucy is answering like a celebrity on Vogue!

There's no doubt that she was not familiar on the test. I have a lot of Chinese students but they don't answer in this way. She's smart, I believe she can perform better next time~

Thank you IELTS Daily! ❤️ I got my desired band score yesterday. L, R, W - 8.0; S - 6.5

We are always grateful for you Chris

Thank you for sharing. This is very helpful for many students who are preparing for IELTS tests.

I'd like to see Lucy's next video with band 7.5 (or more). 💪

Lucy keep practicing !!! Do not lose your motivation !!!!

English is skill but this skill can live long learning and no late to practice. She do the best, at least she try. I belive she will much better next time. Way to go Lucy! By the way this channel is great, it useful.

I believe she doesn't have any idea with what's IELTS all about or how it goes. But kudos for sharing this, we acquired bunch of tips on how we'll prepare our exams. Lucy for sure aced this on the next one. 💪💪
