Yep, not bad. Would be nice to listen to her part 2 performance

Man peopled in the comments are really brutal about her sounding robotic… the way we learn English (for spoken exams at least)in Germany is through memorising phrases. We are told that answers need to include a certain set of information and must be phrased a certain way in order to get the highest grades, which is probably her intention. This girl is probably 15/16, sitting in front of an examiner AND a camera. Imagine how nervous you’d be. And for that she’s doing a good job.

she speaks English like I spoke French for my speaking exams, so it makes sense why she's speaking in these set sentences

Explaining and expanding is the key

I see a lot of criticism on a script, but as an educator myself we have to note that this is an important exam that can be compared to AP exams or IB exams in the USA. WE are taught to those tests, and by this script she’s absolutely able to carry on a random convo in English. I’m very proud of her! She’s done a phenomenal job in this part of the exam and I feel like it continued to be a great test for her.

So this is how I must sound to native Spanish speakers.

can I see your credit card? yes of course here is my credit card and it's password

The teacher is a perfect gentleman. He was so polite in asking questions. We wish we had every officer like him.

How scripted do you want this „interview“ to be? Editor: YES

If these are the questions most people get.. then did I get scammed or something 😂 I got asked questions about politics, enviroment and what I thought about segregation in Sweden. Absolute joke.

How learning a script could help you pass an exam? People dont talk like that. It is like watching bad theatrical performance. Delivery is bland, there are no pauses or time to think up the words you want to say. The only thing that can check is pronounce.

😂 they forced me to do this when applying for my degree even though I had an A in English and was from an English speaking country. Let’s just say I had a therapy session and talked a lot about my cat and left. 😂

this sounds like how i imagine i sound when i speak german at school, very cookie cutter sentences that you've just memorised, you dont actually learn the language properly this way though, if you were to try and engage a conversation where i speak just like i do english, i would have no idea what to say

"We don't hire robots."

she sounds like she memorized every single sentence and question and then she just speaks English really robotic so she doesn't sound natural

Hello Professor Thank you so much for your help and advice. I do appreciate your job.

As someone who administers the speaking tests for my school, I’d be able to tell this was a memorized speech and not normal conversation

IELTS speaking exams always sound like an interrogation by a customs officer or an audience with a doctor in a psychiatrist ward

Wow that's great. I really appreciate your patience

I passed for my Cambridge English exam with a 200 (out of 220ish?) score on the speaking skill and I just winged it, because that is how native speakers speak. You don’t prepare a script.

Please guys be more positive! He just asked some basic level-check questions which everyone expects to be given , so the reason for her robotic answering might probably be the fact that she prepared for these questions loong😊❤

I should memorize sentences like this for my German B2 exams.

what’s a teen swimmer?

The way she speaks is beautiful. I love the way she says graduate/graduation

Her first sentence would had been better is she had answer "Yes of course my horse".. that would had been epic...

This is what Germans mean when they say they speak a little English

If he asks me these questions, I'll tell him that I study, that I don't do anything on weekends, and that I won't go into further detail.

She is really gorgeous ❤

She did a great job! I hear learning English is very tricky - with all the rules, and a million exceptions to those rules😬

Nice. Now let's listen to Paul Allen's answer

I think i speak English better and more naturally than the performance in this video, but the subjects i had to talk about on the speaking part were just hard xD. I was 16 when i took the exam and i had to talk about "what are the most important values we should teach children". How the hell should a 16 year old know? I didn't have any children, i just found them annoying af. Got band 7, i wasn't very good at the writing part because i didn't study enough... and i'm not the best at writing even in my native language.

Americans hating on her perfect English.

SHE IS GERMAN JUST LIKE ME and I only figured that out because of her accen 😂

I guess I'd fail this even in my first language since I just can't reply with bloated sentences. "What is your full name?" "[Full Name]" (Maybe "My Name is [Full Name]") "Do you work or study?" "I work." (That was the question, nothing else) "What do you do at the weekends?" "I watch videos online." (I'd have nothing more to talk about without lying, except maybe eating and sleeping) "May I see your identification?" [Nods and holds it up]

She prepared everything in detail beforehand, feels so unusual 😑

I appreciate her answer. Thats amazing

A teen swimmer?? 🤔

I'm just saying she speaks and acts well-behaved so kudos to her and her parents ❤❤

1- It’s about your language competency not the right or wrong answer (mistake people make) 2- you just need to be a human talking

I taught IELTS for years at a school and did practice test for hundreds of students. My scoring was very accurate. Students with near perfect english and were very good at conversation never scored higher than a 7.5 with me or the real testers. Id say to get a 9 you actually need to speak exactly as if english were your 1st language. This girl would have gotten a 6 or 6.5 in my area, best case scenario.

I don't think it is 9 band. Thank you.

Meaningless to choose ielts test. Very bad idea Its valid only for 2 years and it's not a certificate Lose of money. I regretted

When I went to Canada people couldn't detect that I'm a foreigner I work and speak with North American clients every day and they ask me what state I'm from (lol) and yet I got a 7.5 on this shitty test (passing grade is 5 i think and max grade is 9). As long as you pass you're good, they don't care how good you actually are only how well you jump through their hoops and personal requirements. I was literally speaking better than the person making the exam and it didn't matter. Plus the thing is only valid for like 2 years lmao. Edit* Wait SHE GOT A 9 ??? That's insane, I would've given her a 5 or a 6 for that. I could barely understand her sometimes lol. Their scoring is so inconsistent what a laughing stock of a test.

I’d give the exact answer as hers for Do you work or Study part :)) I’ve thought of it since long ago already.

She is like was weeping before test .

Amazing accent 😍😍😍🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Taking notes ❤

Casting couch Estonia looks fire

Hi.. You guys are the best on the internet. Best of luck

Not bad❤

The loop of this film is seemless and rather baffling.

Beautiful and gentle

She is really good, I wish I can do like her😊

Looks like she had prepared for this topic ;)

Wonderful speaking❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍

She gets credit for the effort, the program doesn’t. Memorization is a bad way to learn a language and a worse way to implement it for every day use

That’s- a lot of words for such simple question

None mentioning that Friday is not a weekend😂😂

She's ripe, healthy and beautiful.

“Teen swimmer” lol 😂

They are stuck in an endless loop.

Beautiful = Band 9

I thought she is a native speaker! Great job 😊

Oh, if I go for Ielts test im gonna tell a story for every question. 😂 Once upon a time....

No one has ever asked for my ID so kindly

Nobody’s talking about the perfect loop.

Idk y'all but this does not sound like a natural conversation. The questions are easy but like don't expand your answers more. Nobody asked for the extra details

oh it's so funny, the German we are learning in school is in the exact same way she is speaking 😂 I hope we don't sound too "robotic" to Germans haha

May I see your identification? Oh how the tables have turned, German!

She is so good how questions were bad

dude i know this girl! he is on the english for teens of British council speaking practices

For this pronounciation, my English teacher would have beaten me up 😅 She used to make us repeat words until it sounded like Oxford English

Probably a 7 based on this honestly

Instructor said "at the weekend" not "on the weekend" it's a small thing but if you're teaching others you shouldn't be making mistakes like that yourself

In the first question she was asked do you work or study? And she answered well until what she do. But there was no need to answer what she’ll do after study as it wasn’t asked by examiner.

Sounds like a robot to me

Speaks very well. Intelligent young lady.

Top band interaction: Can I please see your ID card? ‘Yep’ Do you work or study? ‘Study’ Thanks have a nice day

“What do you do at the weekends?” Why “at?”

What's a 'teen swimmer' she's doing well!!! Yall she speaking better English than native English speakers

MOST GERMANS KNOW ENGLISH THEY LEARN IT IN SCHOOL BUT I SPEAK BOTH HAHAHAHAHA

She is beautiful, calm and her answer is straight. But the way she seat is killing her confidence.

What did I just watch and why is it my feed 😂

Everything learnt by heart

She's already looking native English speaker

i think "teen swimmer" must be an idiom? unless the public swimming pool has special teen times? I have never heard this phrase used in american english. Also the proctor's question had a mistake: in english it would be "on the weekend" its just an idiomatic preposition, it doesnt follow the usual rules for in/on/at

i know interviews are hard and sne was probably very nervous. but this just sounds so rehearsed i mean we all do rehearse before but this is just not it.

I am pretty sure, regional slangs like "hang out" deducts marks.

Please don't mock her for sounding like she memorized these sentences. She probably did and that's exactly what you have to do for these exams. No matter how fluent you are in english generally, your answers won't score high unless you include certain grammar structures and words

The proctor asking what she does at weekends threw me off

What is teen swimming? And adventures? What are you? Indiana Jones? 😂

I read nothing and thought at the start that this is an interrogation to prove she had a fake ID 😂

you don't need to say that much, literally just answer the question. if the answer is too short he will follow up.

Hello in Uzbekistan ❤❤❤❤

When i was her age i had a grumpy officer. I failed that test horribly

This is a 9? Crazy

Omg I’m over this! Done this in 2019 lmao 🤣

I can't even speak that fluently in my first language😅😅

You can call her amilia express 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Even in my native language, i will answer those questions with short answers, lol.
