And my name is Rory and we are the hosts of the IELTS Speaking for Success podcast,
the official Band 9 podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well
as your listening skills along the way.
We've started this podcast to give you gorgeous grammar and fabulous vocabulary for your high IELTS score.
Your Band 9 score.
Oh, that's a nice necklace, Rory.
Wow, beautiful.
Oh, thanks.
I bought it at the small business.
It's actually quite close to my home.
How interesting.
Today we're going to talk about small businesses.
Nice.
Nice.
Do you prefer buying things from big companies or small businesses?
I don't have a preference, really.
It sort of depends on what I need to get.
I feel like it's better to get something unique or personal from a small business these days,
so if it's someone's birthday, I'll head there.
