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 started this super podcast because we want you to use high level words and super gorgeous grammar in your ielts speaking and in your english life.
Rory, we are recording in this nice new studio.
I know, it's amazing.
It's a great change in scenery for us.
Scenery?
Hmm.
If my life is a scenery, you are the greenery.
Oh my God.
Can we talk about scenery and forget that joke happened?
Yes, dear listener, in speaking part one, they can ask you questions about scenery.
Rory, are there many places in your hometown with beautiful scenery?
Yes, and I recommend people check them out when they can.
For example, Scotland is, I don't know, littered with castles.
There's one less than 2 km from my home there, for example, and then there are the mountain ranges, lochs, that's our word for lake, and different kinds of coastal scenery to enjoy.
Even near my home there's a burn which is like a small river, and you can walk by that if you're careful with the gorse bushes.
It's like tamed nature pervades the place.
I love it when you travel.
