SANOKULOV'S SPEAKING SAMPLES

A very important pronunciation tip! English explanation :

Today we’ll talk about another way to improve pronunciation besides the shadowing technique. This method does not really have a specific name, and it is very simple. I have personally used this method myself, and it is very effective. In this method, you simply read a text out loud, but while reading, you should try to exaggerate every sound as much as possible with your mouth movements. Exaggerating the mouth movements is extremely important in this method. Every language has its own unique sounds, and the mouth muscles of someone who has spoken a language for a long time become naturally adapted to producing those sounds. For example, Uzbek has the “o’” sound, French has the “r” (guttural r) sound, and Russian has the “ц” sound. People who speak other languages usually find it difficult to pronounce these sounds naturally because their mouth muscles have not yet adapted to producing them. English also has many sounds like this, and exaggerating the sounds while reading a text out loud helps train your mouth muscles to produce English sounds correctly. Let me try to explain this method with another comparison. Being able to do the splits is difficult for an average person, but with proper training, it can become much easier within a relatively short period of time. To achieve this, you need to gradually improve the flexibility of your muscles through consistent and correct practice. Mouth muscles should also be trained in the same way to adapt to correct pronunciation. I’ll leave some video examples showing how to practice this method, and by training consistently every day through those examples, it is possible to improve pronunciation significantly in a short amount of time.

O’zbekcha tarjima:

Bugun siz bilan talaffuzni 'shadowing' texnikasidan tashqari yana qanday qilib yaxshilash mumkinligi haqida gaplashamiz. Bu usulning aynan bir nomi yo'q va u juda oddiy. Bu usulni shaxsan o'zim ham qo'llaganman va u juda samarali. Bunda siz biror bir matnni shunchaki ovoz chiqarib o'qishingiz kerak bo'ladi lekin o'qish jarayonida har bir tovushni iloji boricha og'iz harakatlari bilan bo'rttirishga harakat qilishingiz kerak. Og'iz harakatlarini bo'rttirish juda ham muhim bu usulda. Har bir tilning o'ziga xos tovushlari bor va biror bir tilda anchadan buyon gaplashadigan odamning og'iz mushaklari shu tovushlarni aytishga moslashib qoladi. Misol uchun o'zbek tilida _o'_ tovushi, fransuzlarda _r_(g')_ tovushi, ruslarda esa _ц_ tovushi bor va bu tovushlarni boshqa tilda gaplashadigan odamlar tabiiy ko'rinishda ayta olishi juda qiyin chunki bu tovushlarni chiqarish uchun og'iz mushaklari hali moslashmagan bo'ladi. Ingliz tilida ham shunga o'xshagan tovushlar juda ko'p va matnni ovoz chiqarib o'qish jarayonida tovushlarni bo'rttirib og'iz mushaklarini harakatga keltirish sizga ingliz tili tovushlarini ayta olish uchun og'iz mushaklarini shug'ullantiradi. Yana bir o'xshatish bilan bu usulni tushuntirishga harakat qilaman. 'Шпагат(splits)' qila olish bu o'rtacha odam uchun qiyin ish lekin lekin mushaklarni to'g'ri shug'ullantirish orqali qisqa vaqt ichida uni osonlikcha qila olish mumkin. Buning uchun ma'lum bir vaqt davomida to'g'ri tayorgarlik bilan mushaklar egiluvchanligini oshirib borish kerak boladi. Og'iz mushaklarini ham xuddi shu tarzda to'g'ri talaffuzga o'rgatish kerak

An incredibly important piece of advice for IELTS Speaking PART II Usually, there's no such thing as being off-topic in part 2. As long as you mention something related to the topic, you are good. For example, here in this speech, my topic was 'a day out which didn't cost a lot' and I only mentioned it towards the end of the story when I said I paid for two glasses of water. Now imagine your topic is 'Describe a movie you watched' Most of you would probably talk about: —The name of the movie —Who the actors are —Who the director is(maybe) —The plot of the movie All of these are factual information and you run out of it very fast(before you hit the 1:30, 2:00 minute mark) But I would talk about the following: —Whether I like watching movies —How often I watch them —How the day was going on that day —What made me watch the movie —A small description of the movie plot —How I felt during the movie at first —How I felt after —Whether I liked the movie These details are very flexible and you will never run out of them @sanokulovs_speaking

Okay, let's go on: [noun] + conscious = careful about, paying attention: price-conscious = careful about prices health-conscious = caring about health safety-conscious = careful about safety eco-conscious = caring about the environment hygiene-conscious = attentive to cleanliness Slightly different but a very common phrase: self-conscious = worried about how others see you (similar to insecure) You can use this in both speaking and writing: Make up sentences and I'll react with gifs #vocabulary@sanokulovs_speaking

Wanna learn another nice phrase? ❤️

Let's learn another phrase: X is not my thing — I don't really like X(informal yet veeeery natural) If you don't like something much, you can use this phrase. For example: Shopping online isn't my thing Horror movies aren't my thing Or if you like something or if you're interested in it, you can say X is my thing For example: Photography is kind of my thing Fashion is her thing Make up sentences below, I'll react with a sticker #voca@sanokulovs_speaking

Let's learn a couple of phrases from these answers: X offers a perfect getaway from the stresses of my daily life = X gives me a chance to relax Next time, instead of saying 'X gives me a chance to relax' you can say 'X is/offers a perfect getaway' For example: For me, watching movies is a perfect getaway from daily stress What helps you to relax? Use the phrase to make up sentences 🔻🔻🔻 #vocabulary@sanokulovs_speaking

Do you enjoy shopping, and why? ...(yes answer) I love shopping! Shopping is actually one of my favorite hobbies because it offers a perfect getaway(=mental break) from the stresses of my daily life. Whether it is buying groceries or just window shopping, shopping improves my mood and makes me feel great. Do you enjoy shopping, and why? ...(no answer) Honestly, shopping is not my thing at all because it is a time-consuming and stressful activity. When I go shopping, I usually spend hours in crowded stores and I often have to deal with pushy shop assistants. The whole process makes me feel tired to death. Do you compare prices when you shop? Of course, I do. In most cases, the price of an item is my first consideration. When I buy clothes, for example, I usually check out several stores before purchasing anything because I need to make sure that I find the best offers and don’t get ripped off. What's your favourite shop? There is one local shop that I enjoy visiting. It’s a small shop and it doesn’t even have a name. It specializes in selling clothes. The reason I love going to this shop is because it has the best offers for price-conscious customers like me and the staff is also very friendly. Do you like shopping on the Internet?( Yes answer) I do love shopping online because it is convenient and offers a variety of products which I may not be able to find at my local stores. Also, it's easier to make comparisons on online shopping platforms, where you can access prices, reviews, and product details with a click Do you like shopping on the Internet?(no answer) Absolutely no because when I shop online, I need to wait for my product to be delivered to me, which is something I hate. Also, I heard that there's a risk of fraud when you shop online. Some of my friends said that they never received some of their deliveries and they also couldn’t get a refund. Have you ever bought anything online? Just recently, I bought some clothes online but unfortunately the size was too big and the product was very different from what was advertised. And honestly, I regret buying them online. What are the benefits of shopping with friends? On top of the fun company, one advantage is they'll know your style and preferences, so they'll be able to provide guidance and help you find items for your home or wardrobe. Advice from your close friends is usually much more trustworthy than advice from a salesperson or stranger

Part 1 — art #part1 @sanokulovs_speaking Text format is here

Turns out, there are also speaking sample answers for you to learn on sanokulov.uz I'll collect them and send them here in a file(no audio) ↘️↘️

If you pay attention, I didn't really use fancy words because in PART 2, your fluency/coherence and pronunciation are assessed more than other skills(Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range and Accuracy) So, keep everything simple in part two in terms of vocabulary and grammar. Pay more attention to making the speech smooth without many pauses, to how you link your story, and to your pronunciation. You will have the opportunity to showcase your vocabulary in PART 3(more about this later)

Describe a day out which didn't cost a lot — part 2 This was the question I received back in 2022 when I scored 9.0 in speaking for the first time It's not off-topic. Everything is almost perfect:)

I answered 50 part 1 questions on various topics here(some of which are still relevant) P.S: I’ll create sample answers for a couple of new topics tonight❤️
