1. For me, the first part of '"Tell Me About Yourself" is the easier part to follow. The candidate's explanation about himself is interesting and easy to understand.
2. Not really, both of their accent (American and British accents) are easy to understand and follow. Both speakers explain clearly. But, when one speaker uses idiomatic language, I should take a note of the idiomatic language for search the meaning.

1. music that is liked and learning new things in my opinion is easier, because I do like listening to music, especially that my favorite music and to learn the new thing I think is an interesting part.
2. After watching this video, I don't think it has much effect, because what I hear are both British and American accents, alhamdulillah I can understand quite well what they are talking about. Even so, I still have to learn more about the difference between British and American accents because there's still a lot I don't understand about it.

1. I think in the parts "I'm going to tell you about learning to drive a car with manual transmission" and "talk about learning new things." I think that's the interesting part, and it's easier to follow.
2. After watching the video, I don't think it has much effect on understanding, either American or British accents. Because when I watch movies or listen to music, sometimes there are also some who use American or British accents. But there are some differences between the two that make me have to learn more about the differences between the two accents.

it seems that both TOEFL and IELTS have levels in each section. I mean, the difficulty level will start from the basic level to the higher level. related to 'does the accent affect my understanding through the content?'. Definitely, yea! hh. Again, American accent is friendlier, hearable to my ears. Therefore I can hear every word spoken by the female speaker ( Stephanie ) more than the male speaker ( Olivier ). Thats it, thank you~
The first part is easier to follow since it is a common topic to talk in english classes. Compare to the listening recording that we had few weeks ago, the accent doesnt make it difficult to understand. I think because the purpose of this kind of video is to teach general audiences (including those who are not used to TOEFL and IELTS materials), therefore the speakers pronounce every single words clearly and not too fast.
