  Hello, hello, dear listeners and welcome into IELTS speaking part two.

• 00:08

  We've got a new topic today.

• 00:10

  Describe an interesting traditional story.

• 00:14

  You should say what the story is about, when, how you knew it,

• 00:18

  who told you the story and explain how you felt when you first heard it.

• 00:23

  So an interesting traditional story.

• 00:26

  Okay.

• 00:27

  So maybe from your culture, maybe from your country.

• 00:30

  Maybe something universal that we've all heard.

• 00:32

  Exactly.

• 00:34

  Tell us the story.

• 00:41

  I'd like to talk about a story called The Tortoise and the Hare.

• 00:45

  You may have actually heard about it.

• 00:46

  It's one of, well, I think it's one of Esop's fables.

• 00:49

  A fable is just like a story with a moral meaning.

• 00:53

  And so this particular story is about, as you can imagine, a tortoise and a hare.

• 00:59

  And the short version is one day a tortoise and a hare are together and the hare challenges the tortoise to a race or the other way around.

• 01:10

  I don't really remember but the point is there's a race between these two animals and obviously the hare,

• 01:17

  a creature like a rabbit is much faster than the tortoise in real life.

• 01:21

  So the hare goes way far ahead towards finish line and just before the finish line the hare decides oh I have so much time I can afford to rest and just wait for the tortoise to come and the tortoise is just going slowly and steadily along and then the hare gets bored of waiting and falls asleep and actually what happens is the tortoise just keeps going at its own pace and wins the race.
