19 分钟Hello, lovely.
I'm Miriam, and my name is Rory, and we are the host of the IELTS speaking for Success podcast, a podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills.
Along the way, we started this podcast to give you a look at how a native english speaker would answer some of the most common IELTS speaking questions using high level vocabulary and grammar for a high score band.
Nine score.
Rory, you're paying attention today.
Yeah, I took up meditation.
It's kind of improving my concentration a lot.
Oh, my gosh, meditation.
So you've started doing something new?
Yes, it's a coincidence because we're probably going to talk about that today.
Yay.
It's another coincidence.
On the podcast, we are talking about new activities because in IELTs speaking, part one, they can ask you questions about new activities.
Rory, do you like to try newer activities?
Absolutely.
I like an adrenaline rush every now and then, so I have a lot of experiences like flying a glider, going shooting, and going zorbing lined up for when I go back home.
Is it good for people to try new things?
Well, if they've got a high level of openness, then yes.
But some people are quite set in their ways and they don't like taking risks.
And that's okay, too, most of the time.
