23 分钟Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into IELTS speaking part two.
Describe something you borrowed from a friend or family member.
You should say what you borrowed, who you borrowed this thing from, when you borrowed it,
and explain why you borrowed this thing from a friend or family member.
Rory, could you give us your story?
I don't do this sort of thing very often, to be honest, since I'm usually pretty organized and prepared for everything.
So I don't need to ask for a loan much.
But one time that does stick out in my mind right now is when I borrowed a laptop stand from my flatmate.
When it comes to exactly what it is, well, it wasn't terribly exciting.
It's just a piece of black plastic that sits at an angle which you can rest your laptop on while you type.
It's supposed to make the experience more comfortable and prevent repetitive strain injuries or something like that.
I'm not sure how true it is, but I wanted
to try it out and see if I could or if I should get one of my own.
In terms of who I borrowed the thing from, like I said, it was my flatmate.
He's a university student and a lot more tech savvy than I am.
So he seemed like someone more in the know about these things, even if he is younger by about 10 years.
He's also very good natured, so he had no problem with giving
me a loan of it to see how it worked out.
And if it did, then I would buy my own one.
With regard to when all of this went down, oh God, I honestly don't remember the exact dates.
