Hello, lovely.
I'm Mariame, and my name is Rory.
And we are the host of the IElts speaking for success podcast.
The podcast aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.
We started this super podcast because we really want you to use high level words and gorgeous grammar in your ielts speaking and in your english life for.
A high score by night score.
Rory, we are recording in the studio, and you were late.
You were like 20 minutes late.
I was late.
I was caught in a traffic jam, which is my new excuse for having terrible timekeeping.
Shall we talk about traffic?
Oh, why not?
Yes, dear listener.
In speaking part one, they can ask you questions about traffic where you live.
Rory, how do most people travel to work where you live?
Probably either by metro or car or bus, although some people take the trams in the trolley buses these days.
Some lucky souls get to go on foot, but the rest of us are like sardines and cannes in the rush hour, unfortunately.
What traffic problems are there in your area?
Well, just russian traffic and driving in general, really.
Rules are selectively followed and enforced, and the roads are sometimes packed.
