painful.

>> Okay. So, now I'm going to I'll just treat it as a normal conversation. Okay.

What's your favorite color? AC9.

I >> I'm going to write your name down.

Okay. Um, so Lero, please. Um, okay.

What's your favorite color?

>> Maybe black.

>> Black. Why you like black?

>> So, so, so is it starting or >> Yeah, starting. Yeah, that's the beginning of the test, man.

>> So, this is the one type of question.

Okay.

>> Yeah. type type. This is qu type one.

Question one.

>> Uh my my favorite color is is black because it's very simple and and

it's very simple and tedious.

So in a very I'm very uh I'm also a very straightforward human. I like it.

human. I like it.

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I will do a demonstration. Okay. So, it doesn't

a demonstration. Okay. So, it doesn't have to be very complex. What's your

favorite color? Okay. For me, I like black because black is very plain, simple, >> and I am this type of person.

>> Yeah.

>> Finish, beautiful, short, right? Yeah.

Okay. So, the next question is going to be like, do you like the same colors now as you did when you were younger?

>> Oh, no.

When when I was a little girl, I like pink and blue because they I think they are beautiful. And when I grow up

are beautiful. And when I grow up gradually, my with my age is growing.

Uh- with my age is increasing, I put more interest in the simple and straightforward things.

>> Okay. Okay. That's good. That's good.

That's good. Um, I would say something like this, you know. Uh, yeah. Yeah,

that that's quite cool to be honest.

Okay. What can you learn about a person's from the color they like?

>> What can you learn about a person from the color they like?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Oh, good question. I I think colors can indeed indirectly indicate some character characteristic of a person. So So I

think people if they they like the bright brightening color like yellow, blue, pink, they they might be younger and they they might be love

fantasy. Uh, no. I think it's a negative

fantasy. Uh, no. I think it's a negative word, but but people who who like uh like black, white, gray, they they

might be more plain.

Okay. Um, this is my suggestion. Treat

it like a normal English conversation.

Okay. Because if you think right or wrong, then it's very difficult. Okay?

It's way more difficult to treat it as right or wrong.

>> Okay.

>> So actually I have very comp complicated. So so my issue is not very

complicated. So so my issue is not very fluently because I I will generate complex ideas when you ask this these questions. Some some question

questions. Some some question >> make it simple. Make it simple is the key. You see, I never answer something

key. You see, I never answer something that is overly complex because when you listen to it, you will easily

lose people. So, you want to make it as

lose people. So, you want to make it as easy as easy and and as clear as possible. Okay.

possible. Okay.

So, so you don't want to make something very overly complex ideas because complex ideas require a lot of vocabulary to explain.

>> Yeah. Yes. that that's what I encountered and all. Uh I

>> Yeah. So you just want to make it very simple. Okay. Make it like like a free

simple. Okay. Make it like like a free ch three years old children's idea.

Okay. Make it very simple but not overly simple though. Okay. Like Okay. Um do

simple though. Okay. Like Okay. Um do

any colors have a special meaning in your culture?

That's an easy one.

>> Yes. Yes. I think there indeed some culture.

>> Yes. Uh, for example, the red color in my culture indicates it's it's danger or or or happiness things.

>> Okay. Okay. It's danger and happiness.

Oh, that's cool. That's cool. Okay. So,

now um I would say um for part one, keep it simple. Keep it simple. And then also

it simple. Keep it simple. And then also um maybe you know um yeah keep it simple and speak clearly. Okay speak clearly

your your your because it is not about the way you speak to be honest. When you

are unclear of what you speak it's not the speaking that's a problem. It's your

thinking that's a problem. Your thinking

is clear then your speaking will be very clear. Okay. So now the next question.

clear. Okay. So now the next question.

Are you ready?

>> Are you ready? I want to ask the uh about part part one how how many sentence I I should say >> no no no no don't think like that think

of it like you know part one should be very short easy and simple don't have a particular time stamp on it because when you are thinking hey I need to answer in

30 seconds and then I and I don't when I don't then that's a problem but when I do more than 30 seconds you know it's not natural it's not natural.

So, so you know if I if I limit your time to speak then you don't speak in a in a very very plea way. This is what I think. Okay.

think. Okay.

>> Okay. And in the part one we we got one topic like the color is one topic or we we have more.

>> Yeah. One topic. Yeah. Yeah. So normally

um it's like it's like part one is getting to know you simply you know it's just like getting you to warm up that's all you know you don't have to go very extremely complex everything just have a

chitchat conversation okay >> you know the the part three questions are the ones that shows your your thinking okay now are you ready for part two >> yeah yeah

>> okay let's go baby have you got a paper and a pen with you >> yeah I have a pen >> paper and I pan with you right now.

explain why you like it.

Okay.

>> Now you have got 1 minute to prepare.

Your preparation time starts now.

Okay, now you may stop talking.

>> Okay, so my A song a music I like is the Buddhism meditation song. It it follows a very

meditation song. It it follows a very repetitive repetitive uh music flow and just going on and on that music flow that will

calms people calms me down most of the time and and I can heard about this when I doing some

hard thinking work or I need to relax.

And the first time I I heard it is I uh first get in touch with the uh zen practice

and meditation. So some some people in

and meditation. So some some people in our community recommend those stones and I feel like I love this song and heard

it many many times.

Okay, it's not it's not two minutes.

Let's go.

My favorite song is Buddhism religion song because it's very it has a very

easy and simple lure that the lure follows a repetitive speed and and the tongue and I can

follow with the tongue to calm my mind clear my mind or when I doing some hard thinking work. I can

play it as a background music. And the

first time I heard about it is when I'm doing the Zen practice and in some meditation community, some people

recommended and saying this song can cure your your your sleep loss or make

you feel clear and that's why I like it.

Okay, that's one minute.

>> Oh, one minute.

speak more. Okay.

>> You need to be able to Yeah. What you need to do is you need to

Yeah. What you need to do is you need to speak more and you need to like 1 minute is way too short, I think. Okay. So what

you want to do is you you you actually spoke of um you like Buddhism music um it actually clears your mind you know um you like it a lot. So what you can do is

is that um you you can use the question like that. Okay. So so I I if I if I

like that. Okay. So so I I if I if I were to do it with your example so you know you can say yeah um so describe a kind of so I would time myself. Okay

listen listen carefully. So um hi um the favorite music of mine would be Buddhism music. Um the reason why I enjoy those

music. Um the reason why I enjoy those music is because um those music is very um um it clear my mind um during the

time of um uh a lot of noises and disturbance um when I when I I I first heard it in a

temple in in a temple in China uh Beijing whatever. Okay. Um the reason

Beijing whatever. Okay. Um the reason why I enjoy those music is because um they are very um whenever I encounter a

problem um different stress such as um studying or or um um encounting encountering an obstacle like you know

um doing a very difficult exams or worrying about my my my my family issues.

I will always um resolve myself to listen to the music. Uh these musics h have a very therapeutic effect on me. So

they can heal my mind and also calm it provide tranquility when I listen to the music. I often listen to the music with

music. I often listen to the music with the with my friends as well. Sometimes I

recommend them to to to listen to them when they are uh very stressed and and and feel a a high level of anxiety. Um

sometimes I also listen to them when I am happy when I celebrate with my family. Um when I got into university I

family. Um when I got into university I felt very happy and I also listen to the music as well just for celebration.

Therefore, I think um this is uh music is has a really good healing property to it and I like it very much. Thank you

very much for for for listening.

>> So this is not easy. Okay, talking about music but you just need to talk and talk and talk and talk and feel up maybe maybe try to talk like like you know use

your logical mind as well as your um emotional mind. Okay.

emotional mind. Okay.

Yes.

>> Yes.

>> So, so I wouldn't think when I I would stop. So, if if I stop the the examiner

stop. So, if if I stop the the examiner will notice me.

>> Huh?

>> So, so, so you just say I can talk go on and on. I I don't need to think when to

and on. I I don't need to think when to stop.

>> Um, no. I as as in because your your your your original answers is one minute.

It's way too short. So this is why you need to structure your answer longer.

You know you said you like Buddhism music. U it is written by some famous

music. U it is written by some famous monk. You need to give more information

monk. You need to give more information to fill up the time. You know normally I tell people to be very concise and and precise with their speech but 1 minute

is way too short. This is what I'm saying. You need to make make it two

saying. You need to make make it two minutes at least.

>> Yes. Okay.

>> Yes. But but some some words I I don't know like the tranquility uh >> tranquility. Tranquility means um uh

>> tranquility. Tranquility means um uh Okay. Okay. You study Buddhism and you

Okay. Okay. You study Buddhism and you don't know tranquility.

>> No, I I don't study Buddhism. I I don't like this music at all.

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. You just made that up.

Okay. Tranquility is ling.

>> Oh, okay.

>> Quietness. Okay. Peacefulness. A peace

of mind. So when you talk about peace of mind, therefore you talk about stress as well right?

>> Yes.

>> Yeah. Okay. Something like that. Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Any question?

I would say, you know, this question is hard. Okay. This question is hard.

hard. Okay. This question is hard.

However, you still need to like for me, I wouldn't choose a peaceful music. I

would choose motivation. I would choose motivational music. you know, I would

motivational music. you know, I would say something like, "Yeah, I really like um uh uh motivational music." Um because I encounter a lot of academic stress. Um

when I encounter those, you know, um I need to keep myself going. Um even

though it is very boring to study at night by myself, um studying, grinding through maybe like um therefore I really need my mind to be uh I need really need

my spirit to be lifted. Therefore, I

listen to music like raw cries, okay?

You know, it's like battle songs, okay?

Um to to to to strengthen my heart um to um you know, to fortify my will to not give up, you know, to persevere through

all this um um impediment. Okay. Yeah.

Something like that. You see, when you change, when you set the topics, you know, you you set a topic that is easy and good for you to demonstrate English.

Don't set the topic is you quiet easy and finish. You understand what I mean?

and finish. You understand what I mean?

>> Yeah. Yes, I understand what you mean.

But but but just now you saying some some words I don't know like uh >> No, no, no. It's okay. It's okay. No,

but okay. You need to be better. Okay.

Be better. Okay. Listen and be better.

Okay. You need to be strengthen your mind and and you know, choose a topic that you can talk about. Don't choose

hard topic. That's what the one minute is for. You know, one minute is for

is for. You know, one minute is for talking about something really good to choose a topic and to think about the topic. Okay. Don't choose a a topic

topic. Okay. Don't choose a a topic that's really dead. Okay. Choose a topic that's lively. Okay.

that's lively. Okay.

>> Okay. So, so so in that one minute.

Yeah. I I I didn't take full advantage of that one minute, I think.

>> Yeah. Well, you need to Well, well, you're still you you you you this is the first time, so you need to learn to plan accordingly. You know sometimes I just

accordingly. You know sometimes I just brainstorm you know um you use the qu like like the Q card they have got questions right you don't have to use all of them you know um if you have got

something really explosive about a topic you know you can actually talk about it um without relating to the question but it depends how good you are with the

topic as well. Okay. So uh so just to be clear when when doing the real exam I will have a pen and a paper and I can write >> I think so you you you you given a paper. Yeah you're given a paper and a

paper. Yeah you're given a paper and a pen.

>> Okay.

>> Yes.

In my traditional culture, okay, in Chinese traditional culture, we had I don't know any traditional culture.

>> No, no, no, no, no. It's not about you don't know. You don't say this. Okay. in

don't know. You don't say this. Okay. in

in a speaking exam what you need to do is you need to say like like the question is given to you you are marked being what you say so I don't know

whether you know or not I don't care if what you say is right or wrong how you say is very important don't say you don't know okay >> tell me about any traditional music in

your culture >> okay in my traditional culture

One of one of the traditional culture type is the the water based music

because in in China we had the Dang Wu festival and people will rowing a boat in a river and when doing

this event people will play some traditional water music to enhance the momentum for

the both roller and and give them more

motivation to keep rowing. So that

water and drum based music is one type of traditional music.

>> Okay.

Okay. Okay. That's cool. That's cool.

How important is it for culture to have a musical tradition?

>> How important is it for culture to have a music tradition?

>> Yeah.

>> Okay. Good question. Uh I think it's uh very important for a culture to to have a musical tradition

because uh the the cultures the the music can constitute a a big corporation

to constitute the culture. And

and when a culture have comprehensive and vibrant music

music type, it will demonstrate how prosperous the culture is.

>> Okay. Okay. Um,

You're going to encounter questions like this. What are you going to do in the

this. What are you going to do in the real exam?

Don't check the words national. What do

you think of countries that have national anthems or songs? National

songs. Then if you don't know, just go with like the correctness doesn't matter. C

matter. C >> can I ask the examiner? So, oh, I >> No, you can you you can only ask him to repeat. That's all.

repeat. That's all.

>> Okay.

Okay. I can only ask him to repeat.

Okay. But I just look it up. I I know what answer is. So I

>> you see you see you see this is not the the idea of practice. You need to get rid of the mindset of having the right answer. There's no right answer. You

answer. There's no right answer. You

have to create an answer. Learn to

create not answer the right answer.

Okay. You don't understand. Then don't

understand. Just go with the question.

What do you do? Okay.

>> Okay.

>> So, >> yes.

>> So, now I answer this question. Uh,

sorry. C, could you repeat the question?

>> No. Yeah, no problem. Why do you think countries have national anthems or songs?

>> Okay. I think a country have its own unique anthem and national songs can can

unite the people and to dictate people to identify with the

national culture and make them feel they are a one united union and of course the

>> patriots patriarchy.

>> Patriotic.

>> It's not it's not patriarchy. Uh

>> patri patriarchy it means a father society. I know patriotic

society. I know patriotic >> patri patriotic means you know being loving to their country.

>> And I think this answer this answer is very good you know very clear very concise you know very clear and very concise. Um, so yes, you want to answer

concise. Um, so yes, you want to answer it loud and clear. Okay, loud and clear and confident. Okay. Um, I will say, you

and confident. Okay. Um, I will say, you know, it's not about the right answer.

It's never about the right answer. When

you search for the right answer, you will eventually you um yeah, when you search for the right answer, you will shutter because you

don't know what you are answering if it is right or is wrong. But in the real exam you don't get the time to think.

You just ask a question and you get to move on. Okay. So just say something

move on. Okay. So just say something like like you know what you need to do is you need to answer accordingly. Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah that's all.

>> And how do you evaluate my speaking?

>> I will say now maybe maybe a 5.5 to a six. That's what I feel like. Oh, that's

six. That's what I feel like. Oh, that's

>> you know 5 4.5 5.5 to a six maybe but you know I will have to say you know you don't understand the question don't just get over it and talk talk over it like

like you know or ask them to repeat if if they repeat and you don't understand then you just have to come up with something don't say I don't know never say I don't know I don't know then what score can I give you >> right

>> okay >> so you need to be you need to be very clear I know and I We'll talk about it.

Okay. Talk about music, you know. Um uh

tell me about any traditional music. Uh

traditional music in China is a form of is associated with Buddhism and and those music can be very spirit lifting.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. Tell me more like like is there any more um huh uh traditional musics?

Yeah. I think in the in in the in in in in in the south area in the in in in Guangjo of China in in the Quang Guangjo province of China um they have got some

um can Cantonese songs u that are very popular that has been passed down from generation to generation. So what you want to do is you want to you want to

answer it the best of your ability you know never it doesn't matter it's wrong you know what's more important is how you say it you know whatever that I have

said is it right never but I make it sound very right Okay.

Yeah. Because the problem is when you hear the word national anthem and songs and then you panic. When you panic in

the speaking exam, you are done.

Okay. Any question?

>> Uh, no. I I think uh >> Okay. I think this round I have the I

>> Okay. I think this round I have the I reimbursed the the how how does speaking works and uh maybe we we can do another round then I I'm more I will be more

comfortable with it.

comfortable? Are you confident?

You know confidence actually based on how comfortable you are.

>> Comfort.

>> But are you comfortable then?

Okay. Like for part two and part three is quite good. Okay. But I want you to be stronger. Okay.

be stronger. Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> Are you scared?

Oh, so so actually I I do scare be because there there are a lot of words.

So so when I think about a word like patriarchy like oh pat patriotic. So I I will fall into that uncertainty and or in some cases I

>> well well I well I would say I would say something like this you know um you know just try your best you know uh you know u you are saying the accuracy of the wording you know I would say you know

sometimes you know you make it a a make it a a how should I say uh maybe you should make it Ah,

I would say you you you want to make it a habit. Um um um maybe

a habit. Um um um maybe if you don't use the word, you never you never get get the score. If you wrongly

use the word, then you will miss the score. I will say risk it. Risk it

score. I will say risk it. Risk it

anyway. risk

>> for you. Yeah, risk it is a better strategy because you know you don't it's like you don't speak and you speak the wrong thing then I rather you speak the wrong thing and die the result is the

same you know that you might get through it you never know okay but but but yeah okay so I will I will

met each other. So then we went to the gym every separate day and uh we just doing the

workouts, doing pull-ups and doing push-ups together.

And sometimes we will help each other do the complex workouts.

And and then in real life, we met in a

uh in a in a friend's birthday party. So

that's how we connect with each other and and until now we still regularly meeting

at the gym and doing exercise.

Okay.

Okay.

Why you like this person? You know, you can talk a lot about this person. Okay.

He's very handsome and and he's very charm and he's very knowledgeable and he's very nice to me. Something like

this.

Oh, come on.

No, no, no, no. It's good. It's good.

It's good. You know, yes, you will get a Q card, but but even though if you don't get a Q card, I'm pract I'm I'm teaching you how to listen. Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> Okay. But I would say something like this, you know, >> explain why you like this person. You

know, you can have all sorts of opinion.

You know, when I first know him, he's very shy and very timid, which I I don't really enjoy. But as the time goes on,

really enjoy. But as the time goes on, as our friendship deepens, he is actually very nice and he he's very outspoken and he's a gentleman to me and

he was help me to do push-up. Something

like that. Okay. So, I think is it is it good? Yes. Well, I would say potentially

good? Yes. Well, I would say potentially it could be good. And is it hard to fix? Definitely

good. And is it hard to fix? Definitely

not. It's very easy to fix.

How you feel about something, how you feel about the situation, it's entirely up to you because it's how you feel, right?

>> And how you feel, you can add some high level vocabulary. something like you

level vocabulary. something like you know um yeah um it is really um invigorating when I do when I uh do gym

um with him u because we strengthen our minds we fortify our mindsets right

>> okay yeah so so what so so I think what you need is okay work harder okay and and and you're good okay this is much

better much more certain you know I am sure. Let me ask you, is this real or

sure. Let me ask you, is this real or did you make this up?

>> It's real.

>> It's real. Yes. Then that's very good.

Okay. Sounds much more relatable. It's

also okay to have some emotion. Okay.

Try to have emotion. I know you are you are about zero and one and very logical.

Okay. But you know sometimes you can smile, you can have some fun. Okay.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. Okay.

Shout out.

Okay. But now let's go with what what we have. Okay. So I'm going to ask um

have. Okay. So I'm going to ask um qualities of friends. Oh that's a good one for you. What do you think are the most important qualities for friend to

have?

So in my opinion, what's the most quality of a friend is firstly this person is is trustable because um you

you need to make sure the people around you are not going to harm you and they they have the genuine morality. They have genuine good

morality. They have genuine good morality inherently. Then you could

morality inherently. Then you could trust them and be friend with. And

secondly, they should be funny. And then

you could have a lot of fun when you hang out or doing things.

And moreover, you you you'd better have the common interest. And maybe you study the same subject or you you going to the same

gym to work out.

Yeah.

>> Okay. That's cool. That's cool. That's

very cool. Okay. Um, second question.

What are more important to people to their Oh, sorry. What are more important to people their family or their friends?

Why?

>> Okay. I I think uh I think family is more important than friend be because the

in in most of the time family are the type of group you can forever trust and can hand over yourself wi without

conservation to them and uh you can share your everything with with your family be because they will You know

they will support you whenever what happened and and but we also have uh the

extreme cases like there are exist some family they abandoned their their child or they just using their child as a a

leverage to to feed them when they're growing old. Then that type of family uh

growing old. Then that type of family uh we we should identify them. If if your parents are really loves you then in

this type of family I think friends are better than family.

>> Wow beautifully spoken.

That was very nice example.

Philosophical indeed. I think let me just finish the praise.

I did not know you can speak such uh in such a philosophical terms. Yeah. So I

think it was really beautiful. You know

some parents they are manipulative. So

therefore they may leverage their children as investment uh for for their retirement investment um so that you know they will look after them when they retire.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Beautifully spoken you know. No, good

point. And and also very realistic.

>> I am proud. Okay. Wow.

>> No. This this question is is a step on my sweet point.

>> No, no, no, no, no, no. It's good. It's

good. Is it a personal experience? It

sounds like you got a >> It sounds like personal experience.

>> I I like observe. I like observe how how society works.

>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. And you also like to cook, right? You cook a lot.

>> No, I I don't like cook because in in Germany.

>> You just bought the dumpling. Uh, not

the dumpling. The the the the hag. You

just bought it.

>> [ __ ] I thought you made it.

>> That That's the easiest That's the easiest way to do. You just need to put it into microwave for for 3 minutes and you're you can have the

>> you know it's new year time you know you should go out and treat yourself a meal okay be nice to yourself okay and don't study way too hard okay

>> no of course not I I know how urgent it is to to day and >> okay okay you're funny you're funny you are funny in that one okay you are funny

in ever. Okay. What do you think causes

in ever. Okay. What do you think causes friendship to break up? Last question

for the day.

>> Okay. What

>> what do you think causes friendship to to break up?

>> Okay. What what cause a friendship to break up? There there might be uh a lot

break up? There there might be uh a lot of reasons. Um I think what um

of reasons. Um I think what um uh give example in my daily life I I would think it's uh it's because of the

split of the benefits. Uh if if you start a company

benefits. Uh if if you start a company with a friend, then turns out you found out the contrary party are not treat you

as a as as a a fair co-founder or just treat you as a friend that can freely

work for for him or her, then this could a critical point to lead to the breakout. and others are are maybe more

breakout. and others are are maybe more moderate like you as the times grow you

develop different different interest. Um so gradually you just

interest. Um so gradually you just naturally don't have the interest in the same thing and you both developed a new

network circle and your interest circle that's also lead to a a breakout or or just uh a small breakout.

>> Okay. Okay. I would say you know um it's quite good. Okay. Um but but but it was

quite good. Okay. Um but but but it was nothing compared to the last one. But in

general I think the the second practice you got was much better because your mind is very stable. Okay. Your mind is very stable. You are very calm and then

very stable. You are very calm and then you know you show yourself. Okay. You

can be very articulative you know and philosophical at times and I am surprised. Any question you want to ask

surprised. Any question you want to ask your master? uh

your master? uh uh can be articulate.

I think uh yeah, I think I just need a lot of practice and and to to to

enhance my my lexical resource.

>> Yeah.

>> Because when I speak in English, I think I can give a more profound expression.

But but sometimes I I just don't know those expression and at that time I just using simple simple terms for for example in my last >> it's okay it's okay it's okay simp

simple terms is there's no problem with being simple okay you know simple accurate >> simplicity also equals um clarity

>> however you know um some you know if you really want to have u yeah you want to have some really um uh uh uh uh terms

that are very very good as well. But I I say in general this is good. Okay. Just make sure you practice. So your exam is on the sec

practice. So your exam is on the sec third of this Saturday, right?

>> Yeah. This Saturday. Oh

>> good luck. Good luck. Damn. Okay. But

you should be good. Okay. Anything you

want to say other than say you are not good?

>> Uh It's like [ __ ] someone. Give me the Chinese word, bro.

someone. Give me the Chinese word, bro.

Okay. Okay. Um,

type the Chinese word. Yeah. Yeah. Give

me that.

Okay. Um, it is very situational. Um,

well, this is how I think of it or you know, maybe there is another term for it, but uh, this is how I explain it.

Um, you know, a friendship date varies.

Um, and it's very situational. Um

sometimes uh if the circumstances are allow you know I may be very close friend to a person simply because he or she is the only person that's next to

me. Sometimes you know maybe we have got

me. Sometimes you know maybe we have got different goals, different interests and conflicting mind, conflicting ideology

that will put the distance between us.

Therefore the friendship is a very uh it's not a fixed concept but a very very flexible >> term for me. So my friends depending on

the situation depending on the circumstances you know they may be closed. However will that stay that will

closed. However will that stay that will will that stay that way forever?

Definitely not.

Okay. Um it will change accordingly.

Okay. You know, today's enemy might be tomorrow's best friend.
