Hello and welcome to this practice exam conducted by the British American Resource Center my name is maroof and I am your practice examiner these exam questions are designed to simulate the oral r test so let's begin what is your full name my full name is salsa Bill Hawk At the beginning of the IELTS test, you must provide a passport or ID, but as this is only a practice test, you do not need to provide any passport or ID. Now, in the first part of the exam, I am going to ask you. some questions about yourself: do you work or study?

I'm actually doing both. I work part-time as an instructor at an educational center and am pursuing my bachelor's degree. What is your specialty? Although I have a background in science. but I felt that I am more suitable for business, so I am pursuing my bachelor's degree in Business, my major is Finance, okay, do you prefer to study in a group or alone? I prefer to study alone because I feel that it affects my concentration every time I am studying in a group and it is always easier for me to do the work on my own besides explaining the methods to each team member every second.

What do you think are the advantages of studying in a group although I prefer to study alone? I definitely think that studying in a group has numerous advantages, for example peer learning. This has proven to be an effective method for learning, communicating with your peers, gaining knowledge from them, and learning from them. Ok, thanks, let's move on to the second part. In this part I am going to give you a topic and I would like you to talk about it for a minute or two. Okay, before we talk, you'll have a minute to think about it.

You can take notes if you wish. A cue card and here it is. paper and pencil, okay, you have to describe our moment when you have to solve a problem, okay, from now on your time begins, remember that you have one or two minutes for this, so don't worry, if I stop you, I'll tell you when Time's up, could you start now? Well, today I would like to talk about a problem I face that I had to solve under pressure. It was a year ago, when I started my university. We were given a group project in our marketing course.

We were assigned the task of designing a comprehensive marketing strategy for a local startup, we suddenly faced a major problem when one of the team members abruptly decided to leave the course, leaving us short-staffed. Each individual was assigned a specific part of the task, so it was very difficult for us to cope with it because we were already behind, so we immediately decided to organize a meeting and brainstorm how to mitigate the impact of losing to a team member. We redistributed the workload among the remaining members and decided to request a meeting. extension of our faculty deadline, we redistribute the workload according to the special skills and strengths of each individual in the team after asking our faculty, they were kind enough to analyze our situation and give us a one week extension to submit our task, after that, We work tirelessly and diligently and open communication channels.

We functioned if we effectively helped each other throughout the entire process, communicated with each other at every part of the step and finally our hard work paid off, we were able to complete the task on time and after that we were also asked to present our ideas in front of the faculties of the University because our report was extraordinary, so what I learned from this experience was the importance of adaptability, good communication skills and teamwork, and I also learned the fact that having an obstacle does not necessarily always means trouble, it could also be a way for people to show how resourceful they can be.

Okay thanks. Can I leave the pencil on the paper? Please. Okay, now I'll ask you some follow-up questions. Do you think it is the problem? I don't think the problem could have been avoided because the faculty decided the team member for each group and it was not possible for us to understand the intention of an individual just by knowing him well and how could you handle a similar problem if it happens again in the future? Well, first of all, I would start by analyzing the group members and making sure that each individual is equally involved in the project like me and after that, if the problem persists, then I would resolve it.

It's like I did a year ago. Now move on to the third part and I will ask you several questions. What are some of the common problems that people face in their daily lives? Financial problems with someone in every part of the world. There are relationships. problems conflicts between couples and disagreements between parents and children health problems and time management problems it can be overwhelming for some people balancing work and social life and how well people usually solve these problems relationship problems could be solved by communicating properly with others and being more vocal about their problems health problems can be prevented by being more aware of one's own health and time management issues people can always create a schedule that they can strictly follow is it important to involve others in the Problem resolution?

I think it is necessary to involve others in problem solving in certain situations, for example if you are too emotionally involved with a certain project and need practical insight, that is when you can involve another person and you can also involve others in the problem solving. problem solving when you have too much workload and too much stress and you need to reduce some of it. Can technology help people solve problems more effectively? and how technology can definitely help people solve problems more effectively. Technology facilitates communication. Communication gaps are reduced in our generation due to help. of Technologies and they always provide us information when and where we need it and also do proper data analysis that helps people carry out their projects.

What are some of the possible disadvantages of relying too much on technology to solve problems? Well, no one should depend. about anything or anyone completely, so the same goes for technology. Technologies cannot do some things on their own, for example, they cannot solve situations related to emotions, so a person may face a problem in which he is emotionally involved. with and technology will not be able to give an adequate answer for that, then, in your opinion, what skills are necessary for effective problem solving. I think it depends on the type of problem we are solving; However, in general, there are certain skills that an individual must have for every problem solving, for example, critical and creative thinking, the ability to analyze a situation before solving it and think outside the box after that.

Good communication skills are very important nowadays so it is very important to have adaptability and flexibility to be able to adapt to any situation and be flexible to solve them and lastly time management skills it is very important to manage time when it comes to solve a problem this is the end of the oral test thank you very much for joining us thank you
