Can native English speakers pass the IELTS test? - Bath 🇬🇧 

I think the fourth person was the best because he was so good at elaborating his thoughts and also I could learn a few new words from him,for instance,prodimently,niche,etc.even loved his accent.So he was definitely the best of all.

Yes indeed, the man with the blue shirt tought me some new words.

Quite honestly, can’t think of who was the best as their answers were interesting as much as informative. 💕

@@Zayithyah yess each one did their best though

@@vaishnavi5733 Absolutely agreed really gave thought to each question he asked and spoke to his mind.

Sure, but they don’t 😁

Are you for real dude, Anybody can get full score if it's about his native language, it's a not a rocket science, nobody needs to understand the grammer of his native tongue.

@@yamraaj8871 You misunderstood what he said and the same probably goes to the 3 people who liked your comment. Read again.

@@YoungXelDong Dude prob just rushed straight to the comments without finishing the video

@@yamraaj8871 if i was you was this is they a apple he come fast it is me

you gotta fix your grammar dude

Thank you so much! I did make one more video like this in Bristol if you haven’t already seen it 😁 also is that an Uzbekistan flag?

@@InstantEnglishUK Yes

@@InstantEnglishUK yes that is Uzbekistan's flag. Do you know about it?

As an English techer, would say that (-) these. I'm affraid that your students shall not pass the exams.

Not at all, honestly if you can speak the language with a adverse level of speaking and listening meaning thats where you focus your study the test isn't that hard at all The problem is schools FOCUS on grammar and Vocabulary without giving the students value to those rules and words as in using them in real time. It blows my mind people spend 5+ years learning English let alone any language and still are bad at it Modern education for language is just trash

This isn't really true. It's true that without having some level of logic and knowledge it's harder for you to have much to say that the examiner can grade. But they really do simply assess the adequacy of the language the examinee uses to convey what they want to say with adequate detail and quality. The student can reveal lack of knowledge about the subject, and even completely faulty logic, but if they can convey what they think in response to the questions adequately, then they pass. It's a test of their ability to communicate in English, and the documents the examiners refer to to judge that, and the procedures they are taught in order to assess the students, relate to that and only that.

IELTS isn't a tool to guage one's language knowhow! I am from Pakistan and I can't speak my mother tongue properly.

@@mohammadraza2167 Yeah. It tests communicative ability in the language, that's all. That's all it needs to be, and all it should be. It doesn't test anything else, and would be wrong to test anything else.

@@AngloSaks666 well. It’s ok to be disagree. However, imagine that doing writing test without need to think logically, or doing reading test with the tricky multiple answer where the answer is twisted or related to one another. I don’t think even native speakers can get band 9 by just simply answer them without even think logically

Why didn’t you take it? 😁

@@InstantEnglishUK My savings was not enough for studying in English speaking countries... So I decided to just work instead of applying any graduate school.

fair enough, i wish you all the best!

@@st840506 How about changing your mind worrying not enough funds to go abroad and settle up, I have more than 50k$ debts right now and planning to leave my hopeless country, the first stop must be ielts, because I know I can earn back the money and obtain much more in the future, just make the first step, dude 😊

I used to prepare, for 30 minutes, then saw the cost and I desisted on the idea. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, do they want to know whether I can speak or not?? Just ask me the darn questions and that's it, stop squeezing my pockets.

love your comments. I always believed that there is a big emphasis on Ielts exam these days and yes, they have become overcommercialized.

@@phuongho9842 man, in my country the minimum wage is equivalent to $230...and these exams cost $300... It's an insult.

I totally agree with you, in some part of the world the fee for ielts too much high for to bear it’s expense.

Is not difficult...the only impediment is the money

@@mcmerry2846 yeah it's true

The toelf test is a little more difficult

That's the idea. They would not be able to evaluate your range if you only give single sentence answers. Speaking test is probably where English natives will likely get the highest band (8.5/9). Listening and reading requires high level of concentration. But 8+ band is attainable without prep if you can focus. The only part where English natives will need to prepare for is the written test. You will only get around band 7 if you use simple grammatically correct sentences. Even if you manage to stay on topic. They really want you to use different sentence structures and synonyms. This is because, bands 8.5-9 are actually supposed to be professional level users who write journals, articles, Books, research papers etc. Bands 7.0-8.0 is where your average English speaker stands (With little prep).

@@Tpoleful I couldn't agree more thanks for pointing that out because l thought that when you get band 8.5 that means you're an intermediate learner so now l realized getting these results requires you to have a wild rang of sentence structures, using synonyms etc.. and you have to be an advanced English learner to get those results.

I absolutely share your point of view. What does "too short" Mean. They asked her a question. Did she answer that question? Yeah. What problems 🤣🤣😂😂🙈🙈?? No matter if native speaker give short answers to the questions or grammatically wrong or something else... If these people are understood by others then everything is ok

@@денислюбченко-н9щ I definitely meant that😁 Sometimes,especially for some subjects,even in our language, we could not find to say something much.That was the point I wanted to express.

@@Tpoleful do you know a site I can find material of IELTS to study for free? My English is not that bad, but I've a terrible memory, I keep forgetting things and ofc the language, I can fully understand but I can't speak perfectly as I hear because yk I don't practice speaking -which is very very stressful to me, I don't have anyone to practice with, and second I keep forgetting the vocabs, synonyms and the sentences as a whole, I know it but I can't find it in my brain, I know it's somewhere here but I can't recall it on spot 😭😭😭 also I'm not a good speaker even in my native language, I take long time before I respond, sometimes I even respond irrelevantly 💀 I've social anxiety so it contributes very much, I'm very skeptical about taking the exam because idk what to study and whether I can trust my guts and speak confidently or I'll embarrass myself and fail it -ik there's no failing but lower bands, I'm full of doubts that I may not show myself correctly and get a score lower than my actual level because I just couldn't handle it, mentally 😬😭 so any tips please 🥲?

Why?

I taught languages in a high school in the UK. I also speak Russian and Polish. We had a lot of children who spoke Polish and some who spoke Russian at home and we always put them in for Polish or Russian GCSE. My job was to prepare them for their speaking exam. I could actually do this better as a non-native speaker with exam experience than a native speaker who didn't know about exams. Before training, they tended to speak as they did with their parents using just ordinary, every day language which was just too simple. To score highly in the exam you have to use a range of different tenses and 'moods', a variety of adjectives, use comparatives, adverbs, express opinions, justify them - the list goes on. The moral of this story is that in every day speech we all speak fairly straightforward language. In exams, we have to 'show off' what we are capable of even if that's not necessarily how we normally speak. PS I have an English friend who has lived in France for many years teaching English in a high school. At one point he took a CAPES exam in English. He failed his first attempt at the speaking test precisely because the language he used was judged to be not complex enough. He just spoke like a native speaker instead of 'showing off'. He passed second time.

@@InstantEnglishUK I have seen my friends discussing about IELTS, they said it’s very hard, and I thought native speaker created IELTS so they will master it

@@barrysteven5964 my friends told me tenses is not a matter in speaking test so I learned a lot vocabulary

@@barrysteven5964 turns out those guys are dead wrong, so I have to learn tenses and some complicated grammar again

Which ones?? 😁

That guy in the park especially and the woman who gave his husband a porche 911.

The one with the blue t-shirt

Hi there I'm looking for someone to practice and improve my English I wonder if you are interested in? :)

Of course, those in the video were not fully prepared for these questions and that is why I thought it would be an interesting video to make 😁

YOU can do it Prince 🤴

Well, if you don’t speak, it’s hard to grade you 😁

Thank you Kain

Thank you Aram

I will try next time 😁

Of course! Could explain what you mean?

Glad you liked it mate 😄

My names Chris, this is my channel 😁 you can find James on his channel = Horizons

@@InstantEnglishUK oh, I see. Sorry 😅Thanks for your responding.by the way I have watched your channel many times and I like it. Thank you as always.

I’m glad you find the speaking easy, however many people find it quite hard

Writing is easiest.

How did you do in the test?

You dont think IELTS helps yo improve your over English ability?

Gracias causita

Hey Carol I'm looking for someone to practice and improve my English I wonder if you are interested? :)

I’m glad you found it useful 😁

Good luck next time!

A native speaker could also be asked about a topic they have no experience of. It's bad luck, but you need to develop strategies for this. Remember that there is no mark for content in the speaking test.

Have you ever been in the UK?

It was test to see how they could handle IELTS questions 😁

I am sorry what is the sense to ask them questions in other (not English) languages? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ if we learn English it's logically correct to come to conclusion that native English speakers will speak English 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@@денислюбченко-н9щ he is trying to find if they are good at their own language.

@@kegenrodrigues the most important for all people is to communicate to be understood but bot to speak very very well and without any "mistakes" att all.

Not necessarily true

No way. You must have had a reasonably high level at the start of those two weeks for one thing.

Thank you for sharing Hadassah!

@@InstantEnglishUK Oh! The pleasure is mine Chris, really. 🥰 May YAH bless and keep you! 🤲🏼💕

Woow, so cool to hear and see that people in Uruguay are watching my videos 😁😁

a la habla español Gaaa

Thank you Dipesh!

I don’t think that would be a very interesting video mate 😁

Actually, if we are talking about IELTS, 25% of it is about your grammar.

you can't use broken English in a formal setting or in an academic or professional environment. yes people understand you because they have empathy to engage in the conversation and not judging you. but I think it is better to respect other nation buy learning how to speak their language properly and not rely on their empathy.

Amazing! Try this one ⬇️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M8xHSlwvP50.html

i told them to think of me as an examiner and there would be punishment for bad answers 😉

Cheers Zehra, where you from?

Hmmm Zehra, your name is so familiar to me (:
