Both candidates in this video are at C2 level. You can read the examiner's comments in the description box below the video.
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Now, who will want to live in the past? Working all day non-stop, no weekends, no health, poor living standards, small life expectancy, diseases, you get the point. It's not like you're the King or the emperor. No toothbrush, no anesthesia. 😢
The girl ate and left no crumbles ! Really , I love her confidence , fluency , pronunciation , accent and the way she took the reins in every single question ! One of the best speaking tests I have ever listened to ❤
When the interviewer asked them about their plans for the future, I realized that I would not be able to do that even in my native language…
i'm not a native speaker but i lived in england for long enough to be considered native here
and Annick is an impressive case
She uses the CORRECT vocabulary and the arguments and points she gives is honestly mind opening
I wonder where they are now
I suppose, I might be on a C2 level… What a surprise. Thank you for the video, it gives me the confidence.
I actually spoke along with this lol
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The guy got 3, the girl 4
By the way, did she get her c2 certificate ?
Thats clear!
I already watch the videos from A2 all the way to C2 because it is one of our assignment in Assessment in ELT, it's really interesting and we could get prepare to someday taking the test as well. Thank you for the video.
I am about to take the IELTS exam hoping to just get a 7 score. Cambridge test is just on another level of difficulty. Part 2 IELTS speaking I have one minutes to prepare for the topic but with this test you have to answer everything instantly 😵💫 Also you need to work with a partner and describe pictures why in IELTS its only you talking with a single examiner. Not gonna lie this made me scared as hell 😨
I loved this! The questions are great and give lots of room to discuss different issues. I just hope I won't black out and say the dumbest things about topics I'm actually passionate about…I was trying to follow along and answer the questions together with Derk and Annick and I would fail to talk about some obvious points like the rise in resource costs/the sounds of the plastic bottles/how picture E wouldn't be appropriate because you don't get much of an idea of climate change from a junkyard…I hope I'll get a partner who's less nervous than me that can get me back on track XD
This made me so nervous
Annick was very fluent and used a wide range of vocabulary, hope I can speak with such fluency, and Derk used good arguments and ideas
Can I do the test even if i'm 15 but ive spent most of my life in an english speaking country?
annick so good
can we ask for the definition of a word or an explanation of the question?
they are both good at their level of english knowledge, Derk was for sure felt nervous, it was so obvious. Annick was fine, and she tried to be better in front of Derk.
