CELPIP Speaking Pro: Target 9+ (Lesson 1: Tasks 1-4) 

I can listen to this lecturer all day. He has a deep and captivating voice that is soothing and calming to the auditory senses.

Thank you guys for this amazing support for our test preparation. Really appreciate it and find it very helpful. I just wanted to share one thing that helped me for preparation for the giving advice part. Since you know that you will be talking to someone directly, you can come up with your generic response template, which can contain, say, 30% of your response, and would fit any possible question. For instance, "Hi Mark, it is very good to hear from you. Thank you for reaching out to me about you concern/issue." It sounds like (refer to the prompt). Few things come to my mind. Sug. 1, Sug, 2, Sug, 3. Conclusion: So, if I were you, make a summary ... I really hope this works out for you. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me again if you have any other questions or thoughts." I can hardly imagine any question that this template wouldn't work for. It will save you time and also increase your confidence and probably reduce interjections, because you already know how you'll begin your response. I hope this tip helps.

Got my test score today, I got 8,10,9,9 for listening, reading, writing and speaking respectively. Your video was helpful. I registered and prepare for one week, lol.

I happened to see this video as I was browsing topics on CELPIP prep. I have seen many resources online, and this is by far one of the most resourceful & relevant channels that I have come across. Thank you!

I can't stop taking note while watching the videos, thank you so much for the recorded sessions

Thank you so much for recording the webinars, sometimes wifi signal or just schedules interfere to be able to attend. This is a great help.

This is so helpful, I can't stop taking note while watching the videos, thank you so much for the recorded sessions. 😀

Thank you for this video, it has been really helpful. I got level 8 on Speaking

Thanks John for your lectures, it really helped me, i got 8 for Listening, Writing and Speaking, 7 for my Reading, all were accepted for my Health Care Assistant Application.

thank you, my Celpip teacher. It was so helpful for me. I appreciate it 🙏

From the test requirements I can make a conclusion that It is not a 100% English test. To get score 10-12 you need high-ish IQ (Simply because you have to think fast and with high quality of content). I would say this test is 60% English and 40% IQ test. Even actual Canadians can't get 10-12 without special preparations.

Nice description!

Thank you so much . That was soooo helpful🙏🙏🙏

HI IS paper and pen provided during the test to take notes?

Start: 8:20

I got my results in only 2 business days 😁

I took the celpip yesterday and wearing a mask for 3 hrs is too uncomfortable 🥵 hope you will be considerate with our marks for speaking since it is totally different doing the speaking test without a mask

How to avoid getting distracted by so many other participants who would start their speaking test at the time? Shouldn't CELPIP do something about this? Do they provide noise cancelling headphones?

Hi all. I have an interesting question, normally, how many scores (of listening or reading) can I get if I can 99+% to understanding of this course? Can I get 6-7?

Really good to get lost of ideas to prepare for exam

One thing I would comment about this webinar is that I did not find it very helpful to see mostly level 8 responses analyzed, given that it is a 9+ target session. Examples of 10-12 would help me more to see what made for a better score.

The timer gives me goosebumps and 30 seconds are really short time to prepare. Due to the nervousness, i started stammering and getting breathing problems. In actual test, due to health reason, if we get stammers or heavy breathing, do they consider that for the purpose of evaluating the responses based on the scores achieved on other sections of CELPIP tests?

Does the picture remains on the screen while describing the situation

Hello I wanted to ask is it ok to give 2 advice in task 1 As you recommend at least 3 advice but When I speak, after 2 advice, there's always only few seconds left so I need to end the task and if I try to add another advice, it will stop abruptly

thank you ❤

Task 1 answer : Friends season 5 episode 16 11:25😅

I m Peninah

it makes me feel very unfortunate to see that people in the examples have gotten such thought provoking question to speak about. On my own test I had questions such as should we wait for our friend after class or tell him to take the bus and tell your niece what to do with a found wallet. I found it very difficult to talk about these topics for the required amount of time. Especially giving advice on what to do with the lost and found wallet to my niece. Apart from telling her that we will turn it in to the police station I found myself having to start asking her about her school, how she is doing in her classes and if she wants to go for ice cream as a reward for her good deed and I still had like 30 seconds left. I could not hold back from commenting that its very difficult to talk about such a simple subject for 90 seconds during my actual test and then let the remainder of my time about 15 seconds just run out without saying anything else. Mind you I am a native English speaker, I have graduated high school and completed a lot of business courses at University all in English. I am fairly certain that on the basis of my inadequate response to my given questions I will not be scoring a 7 which is what I need and will have to retake this test. Its really frustrating to potentially score lower than someone who is hard to understand without reading their transcript only because they had more amount of things to say about their topic even if they used to word um about 50 times in 90 seconds. It seems the test is favoring quantity over quality of what is being said.

I think here in task 1, she used umm, uh many times. Is that fine to use them many times like in every sentence?

I can believe the guy in the second example got a 9 and the lady got an 8 when he was all over the places, that make you and idea o how subjective this exam is

Does anybody know if when the test transitions from prep time to recording time we will have a sound alert or something to catch our attention and let us know that the test moved to "recording"?

Which level they inquire for citizenship

when will be the next webinner.

29:00 What if she don't drink coffee...... (just joking) , Anyway i learnt something :) thx

One tip I would give is call yours friends and leave Voicemails. It's the closest thing to the real test

Didn't he say there would be another level 12 example with a non-native person? 😢

How many points do they allow you to get to pass
