Hello, everyone.
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 to give you a look at how a native english speaker would answer some of the most common IELTS speaking questions.
I ask Rory questions, and he gives answers using vocabulary and grammar for a high score.
Ben?
Nine score.
Rory, why you look at me like this?
Oh, I can feel my admiration growing for you by the minute.
It's interesting, because today we're going to be talking about something that grows.
Are we talking about plants?
Plants, yes, we're going to be talking about plants.
Dear listeners, in speaking part one, they can ask you questions about plants.
Great.
Rory, do you like plants?
Oh, naturally.
We need them to live, and they're very beautiful and quite relaxing to look at.
Do you know a lot about plants?
I know they make oxygen via photosynthesis, but I think that is about all.
Oh, no, I know a lot from high school, actually.
So, for example, plants make oxygen through photosynthesis, and they are green because they have chlorophyll in their leaves.
