Hello guys and welcome back to Hiring Guru Official. Today's video is pretty special because I'll show you how to ace the Worsened English Test. If you are wondering why clearing the Voice Worsened Test is crucial for this job, then let me explain you. Nowadays, almost all companies hiring for international businesses and processes where direct client interaction is mandatory have made it necessary to pass this test to meet their client handling and hiring standards. So stay with me till the end of this video because I'll share all the essential tips and tricks to help you clear this assessment and secure the job offer. Let's get started. This test has six sections. Part A, Reading. Part B, Repeat. Part C, Short Answer Questions. Part D, Sentence Builds. Part E, Story Retelling. And Part F, Open Questions. I will highlight key points to focus on during the test and then I'll share some tips specific to each section to help you perform better. Let's move on to our first section, Part A, which is Reading. In this section, you will see eight sentences on your screen and an automated machine or you can call it bot will ask you to read the sentence randomly. For example, the bot will say, please read sentence number four and you will read sentence four displayed on your screen. Then the bot will say, now read sentence number seven and you will proceed with sentence seven and so on. Trust me, this is the easiest section of this test and you should aim to score as high as possible in this section. Now there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. Make sure to read the exact sentence that is requested and not anything else. If you're asked to read sentence number five, then you shouldn't read sentence one. You will have 15 seconds to read each sentence and if you remain silent for six seconds and do not speak at all, the machine will automatically move on to the next section. Remember, there are only two things that will be evaluated in this section, your fluency and pronunciation. Therefore, your entire focus should be on speaking the sentences fluently without hesitation or using fillers. For example, if the bot says, please read sentence number seven and if the sentence says, he cooks hamburgers and leaves his dirty dishes in the sink all night, then you must read it loud and clear without fumbling. As soon as you fumble or use fillers, you will get a negative mark. Let me explain to you how to do numbers in this section. Let's understand through an example. He cooks hamburgers and leaves his dirty dishes in the sink all night. Bot will take it as you have some reading issues and you will be marked down. You must read sentence loud and clear and in a flow. You shouldn't read it like this. He cooks hamburgers and leaves his dirty dishes in the sink all night. Remember, in this section, bot will only check your fluency and pronunciation. Let me give you a tip that will help you to score maximum in this section. If sentence says, he cooks hamburgers and instead of saying hamburgers, you end up saying burgers, then do not try to correct that because bot is only checking your fluency. Just go with the flow and complete the sentence. Keep going and read the rest of the sentence without using fillers. Fluency is the key to success in this section. Let's move on to our next section, Part B, Repeat. In this section, you will hear an automated voice that will speak a sentence to you and you must repeat it exactly as you hear it. The sound is all about listening and repeating the sentences. For example, the machine will say, leave town on the next train and you must respond by repeating Be loud, clear and fluent. You will encounter a total of 16 sentences and for each sentence, you will have 15 seconds to repeat it. However, if you remain silent for 6 seconds or fail to speak at all, the machine will proceed to the next sentence automatically and you will get a negative marking for not attempting the sentence. The only difference is that, in the previous section, you had sentences written on the screen, whereas in this section, you need to listen to the sentences and then repeat them. Ye abhi thoda sa easy sound kar loga because first 2-3 sentences will be very easy which you can easily understand and repeat without any problems. However, as you will move on, these sentences will become longer and more challenging, which you might have issues in memorizing or understanding, especially with an American or British accent. Bahot sari candidates ke saath ye hoota hai that they are not able to understand the accent. They are not able to comprehend or understand the sentences at all due to the foreign accent. Bas ek cheez yaad rakhna, kisi bhi sentence ko skip nahi karna and not attend it nahi chhodna. You must say something to avoid the negative mark. It's essential to always respond, even if you do not fully understand the sentence. For example, if machine says, The driving instructor did not think Peter was ready to take the exam. And let's assume you missed half of the sentence or you did not understand anything at all due to the foreign accent. Par aap to baas driver aur Peter hi yaad rakhna. So what you can do in this case is, you can say, My driver Peter could not take me to the market because it has been raining since morning. When we forgot almost everything aur hume sirf driver and Peter yaad rakhna. Sentence ka jo bhi part yaad hai ya samajh aaya, usko lekar apni language mein ek sentence construct kar do, which is grammatically correct. Remember, in this section, machine will check your fluency, pronunciation and sentence mastery. Sentence samajh nahi aaya to bhi ek random grammatically correct sentence boldo fluently. That will do the job. My suggestion would be to stay realistic and listen carefully to the sentences. Say exactly what you hear. Use this helpful tip only when you encounter difficulty. To help you feel comfortable with this section, here are few simple sentences. You can either take a screenshot or pause this video to read them and prepare better. Let's move on to our next section. Part C, short answer question. You will hear a short question and you need to answer with a single word or a single phrase. For example, what will say, would you get water from a bottle or a newspaper? And you answer, from a bottle or a bottle. Remember, you just need to say only one word and do not repeat the entire sentence. You only hear the question once. You will encounter a total of 24 questions. You will get 15 seconds to give a short answer. And the same rule is applicable here as well. If you will remain silent for 6 seconds or fail to speak at all, the machine will proceed to the next sentence automatically and you will get a negative marking for not attempting the sentence. Jaise last section mein hua tha, first two or three sentences will be very easy, which you can easily understand and answer without any problems. However, as you will move on, the sentences will become longer and more challenging. American or British accent may create some understanding issues. Remember, in this section, BOT will only check your vocabulary and nothing else because you just need to give a single answer. Kisi bhi sentence ko skip nahi karna. You must say something to avoid negative marking. To make you feel comfortable with this section, let me share few sample sentences as well. I hope these examples will help you prepare better. Feel free to take a screenshot or pause this video and read these examples. Part D Sentence Builds In this section, you need to rearrange the word groups into a sentence. Means you will hear three short phrases. The phrases will be in a random order and we need to rearrange them into a sentence. Example, what we'll say was reading my mother a favorite magazine. And our reply would be my mother was reading her favorite magazine. You will only hear the sentence once. You will encounter a total of 10 sentence build questions. You will get 15 seconds to build the sentence. If you remain silent for 8 seconds or fail to speak at all, the machine will proceed to the next section automatically. Again, the first two or three sentences will be very easy but later it will become challenging due to long sentences and accent issues. Remember, in this section, the BOT will calibrate you on the basis of your fluency, pronunciation, and sentence mastery. Trust me, someone who is good with sentence construction and listening skills won't have any issues in clearing this section. But if you still face difficulties with understanding or rephrasing long sentences and are not able to comprehend anything due to the accent, then use these tips. Let's look at another example. Some rule changers decided to recommend the committee and you could not understand or you're not able to arrange it then say a different sentence altogether but be sure to be loud clear and maintain a fluency example decided to then this is what you can you can say me and my friend decided to go to the market in the morning so using that specific word which you understood basis that create a new sentence but at least say something we all can create short sentences of our own and this is what you can do again i'd not recommend doing this at all i'm saying use these tricks to avoid negative marking or when you get stuck and left with no other option let me share a few sentence build samples hope these examples will help you in better preparation feel free to take a screenshot or pause the video to read them let's move on to our next section story read it this section is pretty similar to what we have in non-voice voicing in this section you will hear three short stories each story will be spoken once followed by a beep when you hear the beep you will have 30 seconds to retell the story in english let me share a simple story at a party yesterday there was a big cake for a big crowd when the party was done there was only one piece of cake left a young boy and a young girl both wanted to eat it but the boy took the piece of cake for himself and after the girl cried he decided to give the piece of cake to her the boy's parents were pleased to see that when you're listening to the story make sure you understand the main ideas and the key details remember you do not have to memorize everything word to word if you can do that that will be fantabulous focus more on understanding the main content of the story and what exactly is the story all about including the situation arguments characters action and ending i remember when i used to attempt this kind of test i first used to create a picture of the situation and story in my mind then i used to retell the story in my own language and in my own word so let's do one thing let me try to apply the same concept on this story so the key points of the story may i learned that there is some sort of birthday party going on and they had a cake cutting ceremony point number two quite a few people had gathered to attend the party while three only one piece of cake was left which boy and girl wanted to eat now it's time to retell the story in our own words there was a big party going on and quite a few people gathered to attend the party they had followed by the dinner the party went till late and almost everyone left as they had to go to the office next morning the boys started eating cake but when the girl started crying he gave that piece of cake to her the boy's parents were very happy to see him sharing and being kind it was a sweet moment that showed how being kind can make others happy i know i changed the story a little but i tried to maintain my fluency i did not fumble at all because i know the moment i'll start using fillers and do o and r i will be marked down by the bot my story's characters actions and arguments were pretty close to the original story and that's what is required and this is the same concept that you need to apply in all three stories now time to discuss some tips for cleaning this section first thing first this test will be checked by a bot and not by a human being what will only check your fluency grammar pronunciation and vocabulary this means you have a scope of playing with words if you do not understand the passage at all due to the american accent issues or you understood only half of the story then my suggestion would be to create a story of your own including the details what you remember from the story told example you can literally talk about your own birthday party and keep talking until you hear a beep sound which is an indication to stop let's try to apply this rule including your birthday party's details into it there was a birthday party going on and quite a few people gathered to celebrate it i also celebrated my birthday last week and invited a lot of friends to my place i wanted to go out of town initially but my parents wanted me to spend the entire evening with them and they advised me to call my friends at our own place we had a cake cutting ceremony and after that we had dinner which we ordered online unfortunately there was only one dish left which a boy and girl both wanted to eat we also ordered few snacks online we had few drinks danced together and my friends gave me gifts they left at one in the morning and said bye to my parents my parents were really happy that i was with them for the entire night and they gave me blessings did you see how we constructed the story into our own words the idea is keep your pace be fluent doesn't matter what you're talking try to be realistic as much as you can but if you get stuck you're not able to find any ways of completing the story add something on your own make sure your pronunciation is up to the mark you're grammatically correct and fluid fluency if you wish before taking this test you can prepare one or two short passages of your own choice which are grammatically correct and has decent vocabulary and you can very smartly adjust them into your stories let me share a few sample of story reader hope these examples will help you in better preparation feel free to take a screenshot or pause the video to read them let's move on to our last section open questions this is basically a free speech round where you have to share your opinions on the given topic for at least 40 seconds you will hear two questions about your personal life or personal choices each question will be spoken twice followed by a beep when you hear the beep you will have 40 seconds to answer the question at the end of 40 seconds you will hear another beep and another question let me share a sample question should parents choose the course of study for the children or should children choose their own course of study please explain your thinking and as i said earlier the test will be checked by a bot and not by a human being this means you're free to write anything that you wish till the time you're grammatically correct using a decent vocabulary fluent and your pronunciation is up to the mark let me share a sample of how easy it is to play with words in this section because there is no specific format that you have to follow let's start try to speak on this topic for 40 seconds decision of whether parents should choose their children's course of study or if children should make their own choice is an important topic first of all read the entire question and in the end write it's an important topic right and then you can proceed further let's do it again the decision of whether parents should choose their children's course of study or if children should make their own choice is an important topic both sides have varied points to consider on one hand parents may want to select the course of study for their children to ensure they lead to success the most memorable day of my life was when i went on a family vacation to the beach it was a sunny day with a gentle breeze that made the air feel refreshing we reached the beach early in the morning and i could hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shore the side of the vast ocean filled me with excitement on that day my father mentioned that he would like to decide the course of study for me as he has more experience and knowledge about different careers and opportunities fortunately it was my birthday i told my parents that i would agree to let them choose the course of study for me only if they bought me a guitar i've always believed that playing the guitar for 15 minutes before starting to study helps me memorize better my father also shared that this is how his father helped him in choosing his own course of study funny by the way i could have easily spoken on this topic for 40 seconds without deviating from the main idea i did all these changes to show you how simple it is to speak on a specific topic or retell stories in this test the topic which i asked you to prepare before taking the test will surely help you in these two sections section number five and section number six let me share a list of common topics to help you prepare for this section feel free to take a screenshot or pause the video to read them as if you think this video has added some value or increased your knowledge then do
