Hello, lovely.
I'm Maria, and my name is Rory, and we are the hosts of the ielts speaking for Success podcast, the podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills.
Along the way, we've started this podcast to give you happiness, joy, and super duper gorgeous grammar with vocabulary for a high ielts score.
Oh, Rory, look at you.
You have a big smile on your face.
Hey, well, that's because I'm happy.
Aw.
Shall we talk about happiness?
Yes, let's talk about happiness.
What a coincidence.
Not contrived at all.
Happiness is a recent ielts speaking part one topic.
What things made you happy when you were a child?
Well, spending time with my family and friends, we used to make up these ridiculous games and scenarios to act out.
Oh, I also used to get a kick out of playing on video games consoles as well when I was younger.
What activities make you feel happy now?
Well, anything that makes me feel successful.
So, you know, doing exercise or completing all of my jobs for the day.
Oh, and, well, seeing my friends, I also quite like getting nice messages on social media.
It's a nice little dopamine hit, although I wouldn't do it all the time, of course.
