TLDRVideoen handler om hvordan man kan unngå å snakke seg bort eller glemme spørsmålet i IELTS Speaking gjennom bruk av naturlige og avanserte fyllstoffer og forbindelsesord. Keith, som driver nettstedet 'IELTS Speaking Success', deler tips for å forbedre engelsk flyt og gi bedre svar. Ved å bruke en bredere variasjon av forbindelser og markører kan man oppnå høyere skårer i IELTS Speaking. Han forklarer at flyt er en betydelig del av skåringen (25%) og inkluderer elementer som nøling og repetisjon. Mange studenter har et begrenset ordforråd, og ved å utvide dette kan man bedre formidle sine tanker og inntrykk. Han illustrerer bruk av fyllstoffer gjennom ulike scenarier, som å gi meninger, sammenligne og gi eksempler. I videoen tilbyr han også ressurser som live-leksjoner på Facebook og en online kurs på Udemy for de som ønsker å lære mer. Dette kan hjelpe studenter til å strukturere svarene sine på en tydeligere måte og dermed imponere sensorene i IELTS Speaking.

    The video introduces methods to improve IELTS speaking fluency by using fillers and connectors. The speaker, Keith, emphasizes the importance of these techniques in enhancing coherence and connecting ideas, as fluency contributes to 25% of the IELTS speaking score. He mentions that many people repeat the same connectors which could be monotonous and suggests a variety of phrases to begin answers and express opinions confidently.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    The video continues by elaborating on expressions for agreeing or expressing uncertainty in opinions. Keith highlights the importance of using contractions for natural speech and urges caution in answering questions correctly without simply repeating the question. He moves on to discussing fillers for beginning answers and providing additional information to strengthen fluency. These include starting with phrases like 'first of all,' 'to kick off,' or 'for starters.'

  • 00:10:00 - 00:16:20

    The final segment covers more connectors related to giving examples, clarifying statements, contrasting ideas, and concluding thoughts. Keith provides examples of higher-level phrases that can be used for emphasis and contrast like 'that said,' or 'mind you.' To conclude, he suggests using summarizing phrases such as 'in a nutshell' or 'at the end of the day,' encouraging viewers to practice these for more effective communication in the IELTS speaking exam. The video ends with an invitation to join Keith's online and offline courses for more in-depth learning.

    when you're answering IELTS speaking
  • 00:00:01
    questions do you sometimes ramble go
  • 00:00:05
    round in circles get lost or even forget
  • 00:00:12
    the question so yeah I think that I've
  • 00:00:15
    forgotten the question and if you do
  • 00:00:18
    it's bringing your fluency score down
  • 00:00:21
    but don't worry you're not alone it
  • 00:00:23
    happens to many people and in this video
  • 00:00:26

    right for you today then we're going to
  • 00:01:13
    look at fillers and improving your
  • 00:01:16
    fluency so fluency makes up 25% of your
  • 00:01:21
    score in the IELTS speaking right
  • 00:01:27
    it consists of hesitation I I be I live
  • 00:01:35
    repetition I want I want I want I want I
  • 00:01:41
    want to I want to arrange of connectives
  • 00:01:45
    and discourse markers and what are they
  • 00:01:48
    well connectives and discourse markers a
  • 00:01:52
    rather fancy names for fillers and
  • 00:01:54
    signposts to improve your fluency you
  • 00:01:59
    need to be coherent you need to connect
  • 00:02:02
    your ideas and your sentences with good
  • 00:02:05
    connectors and fillers and show the
  • 00:02:07
    examiner what you're going to say now
  • 00:02:11
    many people have a limited range they
  • 00:02:13
    repeat the same connectors and I think
  • 00:02:17
    also I also think that and I think I
  • 00:02:24
    think for a band 7 and above you need a
  • 00:02:28
    wide range of connectors and discourse
  • 00:02:31
    markers first and foremost I love
  • 00:02:33
    desserts but that said I only eat them
  • 00:02:37
    now and again so let's have a look at
  • 00:02:40
    what we do in IELTS speaking we need to
  • 00:02:43
    give opinions right add information
  • 00:02:46
    emphasize clarify compare and contrast
  • 00:02:53
    conclude and we'll be using different
  • 00:02:56
    language to do this we may be saying for
  • 00:02:58
    example I think also I really think I
  • 00:03:03
    mean but however in conclusion and all
  • 00:03:09
    of these are good but they're not enough
  • 00:03:11
    you need a wider range of connectors to
  • 00:03:15
    impress the examiner and really push up
  • 00:03:17
    your fluency so let's have a look at
  • 00:03:20
    each of these different areas and how we
  • 00:03:22
    can expand your fillers
  • 00:03:30
    so let's look first of all at opinions
  • 00:03:33
    giving opinions take this question do
  • 00:03:37
    you like going to museums well to be
  • 00:03:42
    honest I'm not a big fan of museums
  • 00:03:47
    honestly I'm not a big fan of museums so
  • 00:03:54
    notice if the answers are no we can say
  • 00:03:56
    well to be honest or honestly notice the
  • 00:04:00
    rising falling intonation honestly if
  • 00:04:05
    the answer is a positive Wow
  • 00:04:09
    without a doubt I'm a big fan of museums
  • 00:04:13
    absolutely I'm really into museums
  • 00:04:18
    notice we can say yes or Wow without a
  • 00:04:22
    doubt without a doubt or absolutely with
  • 00:04:28
    quite a bit of emotion as well right
  • 00:04:30
    absolutely
  • 00:04:32
    show the emotion on your face absolutely
  • 00:04:36
    it's nice to give some feeling you know
  • 00:04:39
    IELTS speaking and here's another
  • 00:04:43
    question do you think history is
  • 00:04:45
    important now if your answer is yes it's
  • 00:04:49
    very important you could say yeah I
  • 00:04:54
    reckon it's essential for sure
  • 00:04:58
    in my eyes it's really important because
  • 00:05:00
    without it yep I'd say it's pretty
  • 00:05:04
    important because without it yeah I
  • 00:05:10
    reckon I reckon means I think it's more
  • 00:05:14
    colloquial and really nice to use in
  • 00:05:16
    IELTS speaking you could also say for
  • 00:05:19
    sure in my eyes in my view all of these
  • 00:05:24
    are good you can say yes yeah yep all of
  • 00:05:30
    these are natural English and really
  • 00:05:31
    good to use I would say or I'd say I
  • 00:05:36
    advise you make the contraction I would
  • 00:05:39
    say I'd say I'd I
  • 00:05:42
    I'd say if you're not sure if it's
  • 00:05:47
    important or not you may be using
  • 00:05:50
    language like I guess so
  • 00:05:51
    or I suppose so notice how you can mix
  • 00:05:55
    them up right I guess so
  • 00:05:57
    I suppose history gives us a sense of
  • 00:05:59
    identity and I suppose so I guess
  • 00:06:04
    history shapes our present-day culture
  • 00:06:06
    and identity I guess so
  • 00:06:10
    I suppose history dee dee dee dee I
  • 00:06:12
    suppose so
  • 00:06:14
    I guess history is important and notice
  • 00:06:20
    the number one mistake the most common
  • 00:06:22
    mistake is do you think history is
  • 00:06:25
    important
  • 00:06:30
    I think yes that's not right
  • 00:06:36
    right you have to say this I think so
  • 00:06:40
    yes it is important so be careful with
  • 00:06:45
    that one let's move on
  • 00:06:51
    let's look now how we can use some nice
  • 00:06:54
    fillers and connectors to begin an
  • 00:06:57
    answer here's one question what are the
  • 00:07:00
    advantages of traveling by plane well
  • 00:07:04
    first of all it's fast and really
  • 00:07:08
    convenient
  • 00:07:10
    first of all make sense right logical
  • 00:07:13
    notice we often say well first well
  • 00:07:16
    first of all and you're connecting first
  • 00:07:19
    of all well to kick off its faster than
  • 00:07:24
    most other means of transport well to
  • 00:07:27
    kick off to kick off it's like the
  • 00:07:30
    football match right to begin to kick
  • 00:07:33
    off is just to begin well to begin or to
  • 00:07:35
    kick off for starters it's faster than
  • 00:07:41
    most other means of transport now that's
  • 00:07:43
    a really nice colloquial filler for
  • 00:07:47
    starters often we use it for the first
  • 00:07:50
    course of a meal but also when you're
  • 00:07:52
    talking to say to begin with for
  • 00:07:55
    starters nice let's move on now a look
  • 00:07:59
    at the same question the advantages of
  • 00:08:01
    flying and how we can add information
  • 00:08:08
    what fillers can we use here well we can
  • 00:08:12
    use another thing is on top of that as
  • 00:08:18
    far as I know to my knowledge all of
  • 00:08:23
    these are great let's see these in
  • 00:08:26
    action
  • 00:08:27
    another thing is apparently flying is
  • 00:08:31
    the safest way to travel on top of that
  • 00:08:35
    flying is said to be the safest way to
  • 00:08:38
    travel as far as I know flying is the
  • 00:08:42
    safest way to travel to my knowledge
  • 00:08:45
    flying is the safest way to travel and
  • 00:08:50
    now for emphasizing there are different
  • 00:08:53
    ways we can emphasize
  • 00:08:58
    a nice one rather complex but higher
  • 00:09:02
    level is this one I'd go as far as to
  • 00:09:04
    say which means I would add even more
  • 00:09:09
    emphatically I would go as far as here
  • 00:09:12
    to say something let's have a look I'd
  • 00:09:16
    go as far as saying flying is the best
  • 00:09:18
    way to travel hands down hands down is a
  • 00:09:23
    lovely expression hands down just means
  • 00:09:26
    for sure undoubtedly make notes start
  • 00:09:30
    practicing it we can also use actually
  • 00:09:33
    as a matter of fact in fact and here's
  • 00:09:38
    the thing notice the intonation is
  • 00:09:41
    really important actually usually has
  • 00:09:45
    that falling and rising information and
  • 00:09:48
    that mm indicates you're going to carry
  • 00:09:54
    on actually I think this actually flying
  • 00:09:59
    is the safest way to travel let's have a
  • 00:10:03
    look at these in action
  • 00:10:09
    actually flying is the safest way to
  • 00:10:13
    travel as a matter of fact flying is the
  • 00:10:16
    safest way to travel in fact flying is
  • 00:10:20
    the safest way to travel and here's the
  • 00:10:23
    thing apparently flying is the safest
  • 00:10:26
    way to travel now when we move to giving
  • 00:10:30
    examples
  • 00:10:35
    there are many ways we can do it the
  • 00:10:37
    common ones for example for instance
  • 00:10:40
    take me four eggs take me as an example
  • 00:10:44
    take me as an example let's see some of
  • 00:10:48
    these in action for instance to my
  • 00:10:52
    norwich Qantas airlines has never had a
  • 00:10:55
    fatal accident ever you can see this
  • 00:10:59
    with Qantas airlines as far as I know
  • 00:11:01
    they've never had a fatal accident ever
  • 00:11:05
    I love that last one you can see this
  • 00:11:09
    with Samsung you can see this with Apple
  • 00:11:13
    so whichever your example is it's a
  • 00:11:15
    really nice smooth natural way to give
  • 00:11:19
    an example let's move on
  • 00:11:25
    now apart
  • 00:11:27
    question is often why does some people
  • 00:11:29
    do this now this is a difficult question
  • 00:11:32
    because it's very open and often we want
  • 00:11:35
    to clarify what we mean or what we're
  • 00:11:38
    going to talk about and one of the great
  • 00:11:40
    strategies in part three is with the why
  • 00:11:43
    do some people question is to break it
  • 00:11:46
    down to look at different kinds of
  • 00:11:49
    people right we can talk about young
  • 00:11:53
    people parents old people workers
  • 00:11:56
    unemployed break it down and so to do
  • 00:12:00
    that we use very simple clarifying
  • 00:12:02
    techniques my favorite is this one if
  • 00:12:06
    we're talking about young people I
  • 00:12:09
    reckon they move to the city in search
  • 00:12:12
    of better job opportunities did you get
  • 00:12:15
    that if we're talking about if we are
  • 00:12:19
    talking about something or someone if
  • 00:12:23
    we're talking about mmm great here's
  • 00:12:27
    another example if we're talking about
  • 00:12:30
    parents I suppose they want a better
  • 00:12:33
    school for their children let's look now
  • 00:12:37
    at contrasting contrasting similar to
  • 00:12:41
    comparing but where we look at a and
  • 00:12:43
    then contrast it with B
  • 00:12:49
    so often we use the word but there is
  • 00:12:52
    this but there's that but is the most
  • 00:12:56
    overused connector what other ways we
  • 00:13:00
    can use to express that well however
  • 00:13:04
    that said mind you at the same time and
  • 00:13:10
    notice with most of these we have that
  • 00:13:13
    falling rising intonation that said mind
  • 00:13:18
    you and it just indicates that we're
  • 00:13:21
    going to carry on speaking it's great
  • 00:13:24
    natural intonation lovely connector
  • 00:13:27
    let's see in practice the same question
  • 00:13:30
    as before why do some people choose to
  • 00:13:32
    live in the city rather than in the
  • 00:13:35
    countryside if we're talking about young
  • 00:13:39
    people
  • 00:13:39
    I reckon they move to the city in search
  • 00:13:41
    of better job opportunities that said
  • 00:13:45
    many people who work remotely
  • 00:13:48
    choose to live in the suburbs or even
  • 00:13:51
    the countryside if we're talking about
  • 00:13:54
    parents I suppose they want a better
  • 00:13:57
    school for their kids
  • 00:13:59
    mind you nowadays there are lots of good
  • 00:14:03
    quality schools to be found in rural
  • 00:14:05
    areas too
  • 00:14:07
    can you see how that works brilliant
  • 00:14:09
    start practicing
  • 00:14:15
    and let's wind up with concluding hat
  • 00:14:20
    concluding there are different ways to
  • 00:14:22
    conclude finally to summarize in
  • 00:14:26
    conclusion I think some of the more
  • 00:14:28
    natural ones are these in a nutshell
  • 00:14:32
    overall all in all at the end of the day
  • 00:14:38
    so again let's have a look at these in
  • 00:14:41
    action in a nutshell I think people move
  • 00:14:45
    to the city because it offers more
  • 00:14:47
    opportunities overall I think people
  • 00:14:51
    move to the city because it offers more
  • 00:14:53
    opportunities all in all I'd say people
  • 00:14:57
    move to the city because it offers more
  • 00:14:59
    opportunities at the end of the day I
  • 00:15:04
    suppose people move to the city because
  • 00:15:06
    it offers more opportunities guys that's
  • 00:15:11
    it a whole bunch of fillers that will
  • 00:15:14
