Hello, everyone.
We're almost at 1 million listens, and we'd like to ask you to help make us millionaires.
Could you either share this podcast with a friend or on your social media or give us five stars on a review on Apple Podcasts?
And when we reach 1 million, I'll tell you how old I am.
Yay.
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 podcast because we want you to use high level words and gorgeous grammar in your ielts speaking and in your english life.
Rory, so, how old are you?
Well, it's like I said, I'm not telling anyone how old I am until we reach 1 million listens, so end of discussion.
But, Rory, it's not the end of discussion, because we're gonna be talking about discussions today.
Rory, what do you like to talk about?
Oh, God, I could have a blether about anything, really.
I'm actually interested in what other people have to say about different things, so all I need to do is think up the questions and then enjoy the ride of the conversation.
How often do you talk to people on different topics?
Oh, God, I think probably every day.
So, if you think about being an english teacher in general, do you speak to people about different topics?
Because they need to learn the vocabulary and grammar connected to it, but also just in my personal life, like, I was speaking to someone the other day about how they teach chemistry online, for example, and another person was talking to me about playing board games.
So it's a side effect of both my job and being quite gregarious and curious about other people, I guess.
Who do you usually have discussions with?
