Let us study the recent cue cards by preparing ideas that we can use for each cue card so
0:07
that we can create a great monologue in Part 2. This is a video series, so make sure to subscribe to this channel so you will be updated with
0:17
the latest videos about the recent cue cards. Let's get started! Our first cue card here is a historical period you would like to learn more about
0:29
Now, my advice here is to simply talk about something that is already known worldwide
0:35
rather than talking about your country's history. Now why is this? This is simply because if you talk about a historical period in your country, well of
0:45
course that's an easy thing to do because you know about it
0:48
However, your examiner cannot really relate to it because he doesn't know more about
0:54
that or he doesn't really know about it. That means you need to provide lots of background information, which I really believe takes
1:04
so much time. Whereas, if you talk about something that is known worldwide, that is much easier to
1:12
do because you don't need to explain lots of things since your examiner has an idea
1:19
about it. For example, you can talk about the 9-11 terrorist attack, or you can talk about the Holocaust
1:28
led by Hitler, or maybe you can talk about the Industrial Revolution that is the start
1:35
of the manufacturing industry. So why do you want to learn more about this
1:42
Well maybe you just want to deepen your understanding about this historical period, or maybe you
1:49
want to teach someone, and in order for you to teach him well, you need to have lots of
1:57
input so that you are credible enough to teach him. Now, I understand that my advice is radical, but I think it's very important that your
2:10
examiner can relate to your story or your monologue in part 2
2:16
And that way, you'll be able to communicate more effectively. From 5.5 to 7.5, that's amazing
2:24
How did that student achieve that great score? Well, she simply used my reviewers
2:31
My reviewers helped many students achieve a band 8, 7.5, and 7 without me personally
2:38
coaching them. They simply used my reviewers. So if you are interested to get my latest reviewers, send me an email and I will send
2:47
you sample reviewers and see for yourself how my reviewers can help you, or click the
2:52
link in the comment section. Get them now so you can prepare strategically and of course, improve your score
2:59
Goodbye 6.5. Next is a time when someone did quite well in a team
3:06
First of all, think of what team it is for. Is it a sports team
3:13
Or is it a project team at work? Or is it a team in the school where you once studied
3:20
Then focus on talking about the invaluable contribution that that team member made that
3:27
helped your team succeed. So that's very important. For example, if it's a sports team, talk about this team member who had a game plan that's
3:41
very strategic and helped your team succeed by beating your opponent in a short period
3:50
of time. Or maybe if it's at work, let's say a project team, you had this or there's this one team
4:00
member who had the best approach to solve a project's problem or issue before the deadline
4:11
And let's say this was unexpected because this team member was, let's say, shy or maybe quiet
4:24
And you know, he had this best approach in solving the problem
4:30
And his contribution helped your team succeed because you're able to complete the project
4:36
before the deadline and your bosses felt great about the result of your project
4:44
You know, something like that. Choose between the two options. I think you can formulate more ideas, either of the two options
4:56
And you can use some verbs when it comes to talking about teams, such as lead, manage
5:05
work together, form, and train. So these verbs can help you express yourself more effectively when it comes to talking
5:14
about a team or a team member. We have a long-term goal you want to achieve
5:21
I think this is a piece of cake simply because we all have respective goals in our lives
5:28
For example, let us say your goal is to work in an English-speaking country or perhaps
5:36
permanently live in that country. So it takes a while to achieve this goal simply because you need to save lots of money so
5:46
you can use that money to process different kinds of documents. Also, you need to take the IELTS test and must reach the required band scores
5:56
Or it could be you need to prepare emotionally, mentally, financially, and all those things
6:04
that you really need in order for you to live in that country conveniently or comfortably
6:12
So it takes so much time achieving that goal of yours. And share with your examiner the feeling of waiting
6:23
Do you feel like giving up that goal? Or do you always have the energy to make that goal a reality
6:32
Something like that. I think these things can help you add more value to your story
6:38
Well, if you do not like that idea because that idea is something you cannot relate to
6:43
then think of buying a house and lot. I think that is a very good example of a long-term goal that you want to achieve in
6:52
your life. Well, it takes so much time, money, and effort to make that happen
6:58
Or maybe you can talk about financial freedom. I mean, who doesn't want to achieve financial freedom
7:07
That can also be a good example of a long-term goal that you can achieve
7:12
All of us want to be financially free, anyway. So create a story out of it because that can be a very good example that you can use
7:21
to create a story in your party. Now, what are some helpful verbs that we can use when we talk about goals
7:28
Well, we have set, strive for, work towards, reach, and attain. Use some of these verbs when you talk about goals so that you can definitely showcase
7:42
your vocabulary skills to your examiner
