16 分钟Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into IELTS Speaking Part 2.
Oh, hi there.
Chat GPT here.
Maria's microphone cut out, so I'm filling in for her to tell you about today's topic.
Describe a time when you received money as a gift.
You should say, when it happened, who gave you money?
why he or she gave you money, and explain how you used the money.
Rory, give us your story.
Well, even at the age of 35, this happens to me on a regular basis, actually.
Every month, my dad has this habit of putting 50 pounds in my bank account,
and he has done ever since I was a teenager.
The last time... I suppose would have been at the end of May this year.
To tell you a bit more about who gave it to me, well,
it's my dad, so obviously I've known him my whole life.
I'm not exactly sure why on earth he does it, since, like I said,
I'm in my mid-thirties now and I can stand on my own two feet, financially speaking.
Moreover,
I don't even buy that much to begin with aside from groceries and pay the occasional subscription fee that's got to be paid.
If I were to guess, I'd say it's... probably to show that he still loves and supports me,
even if it's no longer necessary, like in this physical way.
