Model Answer for the speaking cue card topic :


Everybody has a plan for future. Though future is uncertain and many times unpredictable, I believe that to some extend our future depends on our actions on past and present. In the future I want to run a Mega-shopping mall business where my involvement would not be mandatory to run the daily business and I would enjoy my time by visiting different places of the world.

 

After I finished my graduation, I started working for a small company. Now I am working for a large multinational company I have planned to work till I become 36 and then I will take early retirement. The money I will inherit and the amount I am currently saving per month should allow me to start a business. I have planned to start a big shopping mall. I will have my close relatives as the employees and authorities of the business and initially I will work in this shopping mall for 2-3 years to make it run smoothly. When the business would go on with its own path, I will enjoy my vacation and would visit different renowned and beautiful cities of the world. I will visit Asia, Europe, Russia and many more places.

 

Hopefully I will enjoy the retirement and the trips. Though I am not sure about the future but I have already planned for it. Because I believe proper planning and initiation is the half of the total task and fulfilling dream. I have already taken some steps towards achieving my future plan.

آیلتس لایف اسکیلز ( Life Skills ) چیست ؟


خوب، به نظر دولت بریتانیا افرادی که قصد دارند برای برخی ویزاهای اقامت در انگلستان اقدام کنند به چیزی غیر از آیلتس جنرال نیاز دارند و اینطور شد که آیلتس لایف اسکیلز معرفی شد. در این نسخه از آیلتس مهارت های مکالمه و لیسنینگ شما در زمینه هایی مثل موضوعات روزمره مثل کار، تفریح، تحصیل، مشکلات جامعه، حمل و نقل و … با شرکت در بحث هایی سنجیده می شود.

 

آیلتس Life Skills چطور برگزار می شود؟

 

یکی از ویژگی های این آزمون که شبیه هیچ آزمون دیگری نیست، این است که شما با یک شرکت کننده دیگر در آزمون شرکت می کنید. بله، یعنی وقتی دارید آزمون می دهید علاوه بر ممتحن، یک شرکت کننده دیگر هم کنار شما حضور خواهد داشت. هر چند بسته به نوع آزمونی که شما می دهید ممکن است بخشی از مهارت های شما در کار گروهی با شرکت کننده دیگر هم سنجیده بشود، اما ضعف یا مهارت بالای شرکت کننده دیگر در نمره نهایی شما هیچ تاثیری نخواهد داشت و شما بر اساس عملکرد خودتان ارزیابی خواهید شد.

 

سیستم نمره دهی آیلتس Life Skills چطوره؟

 

سیستم نمره دهی آزمون IELTS Life Skills برخلاف آزمون های Academic و General بر اساس اعداد نیست. در آزمون لایف اسکیلز شما یا نمره Pass می گیرید و یا Fail. یعنی فقط قبول یا رد! درست مثل آزمون عملی رانندگی، که اتفاقا یکی از مهات های زندگی هم هست! نتیجه آزمون هم بعد از یک هفته به شما اعلام خواهد شد.

 

آیا آیلتس Life Skills در ایران برگزار می شود؟

 

از ۲۷ اسفند سال ۱۳۹۴،امکان برگزاری آزمون آیلتس لایف اسکیلز IELTS Life Skills در ایران هم بوجود آمده و دیگر نیازی نیست برای شرکت در این آزمون به کشور های همسایه مثل ترکیه بروید.

 

آیا آیلتس Life Skills سخت است؟

 

این آزمون در دو سطح A1 و B1 برگزارمی شود که مطابق سطح بندی CEFR اروپا هستند. می پرسید CEFR چیه؟ خوب، به جدول زیر نگاه کنید:

 

cefr

 

طبق جدول بالا، CEFR از سطح A1 شروع شده و تا سطح C2 بالا می رود. آزمون آیلتس لایف اسکیلز در دو سطح A1 و B1 می باشد که چندان هم بالا نیست. برای اینکه مقایسه ای از این سطوح و آزمون آیلتس داشته باشید به جدول زیر نگاه کنید:

 

cefr new

 

همانطور که مشاهده می کنید سطح A1 معادل نمره بسیاری پایینی در آیلتس است و سطح B1 هم نهایتا معادل نمره ۴٫۵ تا ۵ آیلتس می باشدکه رسیدن به چنین سطحی کار بسیار ساده ای است.

 

بخش های دو سطح A1 و B1 در آیلتس Life Skills

 

همانطورکه میدانید در فرمت های آکادمیک وجنرال آزمون IELTS هر چهار مهارت شنیداری، گفتاری، نوشتاری و درک مطلب سنجیده می شوند. در IELTS Life Skills اما فقط دومهارت گفتاری وشنیداری یا همان اسپیکینگ و لیسنینگ خواهید داشت. سطح A1 دارای دو بخش و سطح B1 دارای ۳ بخش هست. دو بخش اول سطح B1 دقیقا مشابه سطح A1 هستند و فقط بخش سوم آن جدید خواهد بود. همانطور که می توانید حدس بزنید سطح B1 از A1 کمی سخت تر است.

 

سطح A1: دوبخش دارد

 

در بخش اول شما باید در مورد یک موضوع آشنا و روزمره حرف بزنید. دربخش دوم شما باید به یک لیسنینگ گوش کنید و به سوال ها پاسخ بدهید. در اینجا شما می توانید از لیسنینگ نت بردارید تا راحت تر بتوانید به سوال ها پاسخ بدهید. سطح A1 در حدود ۱۶ تا ۱۸ دقیقه طول می کشد.

 

سطح B1: دو بخش مشابه سطح A1 + بخش سوم

 

در سطح B1 شما سه بخش خواهید داشت که دو بخش اول آن دقیقا مشابه آزمون آیلتس لایف اسکیلز سطح A1 هستند. برای بخش سوم این سطح هم یک فعالیت گروهی طراحی می شود که دو شرکت کننده باید با هم آن را انجام بدهند. این سطح از آزمون در حدود ۲۲ دقیقه طول خواهد کشید.
