1
Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into IELTS speaking part two.
2
Describe a person you know who is doing something to protect the environment.
3
You should say who this person is, what this person is doing to protect the environment,
4
how easy or difficult it is for him or her to do this,
5
and explain how you feel about what this person is doing to protect the environment.
6
Right, Rory, give us your story.
7
Well, there are a lot of people like this that I know, but the one who stands out the most right now is probably David Attenborough,
8
who is a famous documentarian and writer from the UK.
9
When it comes to who exactly he is, aside from what I mentioned already, he's been a presenter of numerous programs on the BBC,
10
and I think other channels actually, for decades now.
11
Actually, I think he must be about 100 years old or something like that.
12
I also suspect he's been honoured by a lot of people and organisations, including the Queen and the King.
13
With regards to what he's been doing to protect the environment, well, he certainly uses his documentaries to draw attention to various endangered species,
14
the habitats they live in.
15
And that kind of awareness raising goes a long way towards encouraging people to look after the planet
16
and the local flora and fauna more generally.
17
I'm not 100 % sure, but I think he's also been speaking out at various climate change conferences
18
and on panels to try and underscore the points being made in his documentaries.
19
In terms of how difficult it is for him to do stuff like this, well, it's probably a mixed bag.
20
I mean, on the one hand, people with platforms like that can very easily catch people's eyes and get attention for things.
21
But on the other hand, he's a really old man.
22
And regardless of how much money you have, age is very much a limiting factor.
23
As for how I feel about what he's been getting up to to protect the environment,
24
I suppose as someone who lives on the same planet and would like it to be in a reasonable condition.
25
I'm happy someone is taking action to try and encourage others to make an effort.
26
I just hope it's not stressing him and his family out too much.
27
And what do your friends think of this person?
28
We haven't really talked too much about him, to be honest.
29
I suspect they probably respect him, though.
30
He's a very well -respected figure in where I'm from anyway.
31
As you know, we now release all of our premium content for free, and it's available for one month.
32
After one month, it goes into our super secret archive.
33
To sign up for the archive, click the link in the description below.
34
See you soon.
35
So, dear listener, you should know a person who is doing something to protect the environment.
36
So when we protect the environment, we collect rubbish.
37
What do we do?
38
Plant trees.
39
We recycle.
40
We recycle.
41
Recycle, yeah.
42
So this person could be your friend.
43
It could be a famous person.
44
Lots of famous people do something to protect the environment.
45
Your family member, your neighbor, your colleague, or an imaginary person.
46
So I know Bob.
47
Bob recycles everything.
48
Bob is my bestie.
49
Yeah, so just imagine this person, but do it now to prepare for this thing.
50
And we should say what exactly this person does.
51
So the activities that this person does to protect the environment.
52
Rory picked a famous person, David, I can't pronounce his surname.
53
Yes, you can.
54
David Attenborough.
55
Attenborough.
56
And he is 100 years old.
57
Oh my God, I was right.
58
He was born in 1926.
59
Wow.
60
So he's an English broadcaster, natural historian and a writer.
61
And yeah, he has a lot of documentaries about nature.
62
He worked for BBC, like programs about animals and plants.
63
Yeah.
64
Wow.
65
What a career.
66
100 years old.
67
I wonder if we'll be doing this when we're 100 years old.
68
Yeah.
69
And he's talking about our impact on the natural world.
70
Yeah.
71
Yeah, like he talks about our destruction of the environment.
72
Super cheerful things.
73
Yeah, like he takes part in different environmental projects.
74
Right.
75
Yeah, dear listener.
76
So you can pick a famous person, but then research what this person does.
77
Maybe like two, three activities.
78
Just, again, like two minutes.
79
You need to talk about it.
80
Two minutes, so it should be very short, not the biography of this person.
81
Right.
82
You can say that there are a lot of people like this in my life, but the one who stands out is David...
83
Or my friend...
84
Who is a famous documentarian and writer, an English person who is 100 years old.
85
A famous English person.
86
Yeah.
87
Because this person is alive, Rory uses Present Perfect.
88
So he has been a presenter for numerous programs on the BBC.
89
So he's been involved in different projects.
90
But if you talk about a person who died, then he was.
91
But if you talk about your friend, your neighbor, he's been ta -ta -ta.
92
He has done ta -ta -ta.
93
He has helped ta -ta -ta.
94
He has donated money to charity to save trees yeah
95
so he's been a presenter he has made many films he has worked for many organizations
96
and what he's been doing to protect the environment here we can use present perfect continuous
97
because he started helping the environment
98
and he's going on he's helping yeah he's still helping
99
so he has been doing this for a long time
100
so he's been protecting the environment for a long time with documentaries to draw people's attention to environmental problems.
101
And here we talk about endangered species, animals who are in danger.
102
They're maybe going to go extinct.
103
Yeah, endangered species and the habitats they live in.
104
Habitats like where animals live in.
105
He has been encouraging people to look after the planet.
106
So, protect the environment, look after the planet, look after the local flora and fauna.
107
So, flora, like plants and trees and fauna, animals, species.
108
If you're not sure or if you don't remember, you can say, I'm not 100 % sure,
109
but he has also been speaking about climate change during conferences.
110
Yes, that's true, according to Wikipedia.
111
But if we're not sure, we can say things like, I suspect and I'm not 100 % sure, but maybe.
112
This person has been encouraging people to look after the planet.
113
This person has been speaking about something at conferences.
114
This is, this person has made different documentaries, different films.
115
In terms of how difficult it is for him, it's a mixed bag.
116
So, Rory, what's a mixed bag?
117
Well, there are some positive things and some negative things.
118
Or there are some easy things and some difficult things.
119
So, if it's not just one way or the other way, it's a mixture of the two,
120
it's a mixed bag a mixed bag a range of different things
121
or people so a mixed bag of something
122
so a mixed bag of people take this class take this course
123
so all sorts of people
124
and then you say like on the one hand it's quite easy
125
because blah blah blah
126
but on the other hand this man is pretty old well it might be quite tiring especially
127
if you're 100 years old that's crazy yeah can you imagine wow
128
And if something puts limits on you like that, it's called a limiting factor.
129
Age can be a limiting factor, money can be a limiting factor.
130
You can say this about any person.
131
So perhaps money is a limiting factor.
132
So this person may not have enough money to protect the environment.
133
The final point is feelings.
134
Usually during speaking part two, explain how you feel about this person, about this.
135
So we start with, as for how I feel about what he's been doing, again, he's been doing, right?
136
As for how I feel about his activities, as for how I feel about what he's been doing to protect the environment,
137
I suppose, I think, da -da -da -da -da.
138
How do I feel?
139
I feel happy that he takes action, so he does something actively, so he takes action to encourage people,
140
to make an effort, make an effort to do something to try it out, to protect the environment.
141
So what are the feelings?
142
I feel pleased, glad, maybe inspired.
143
So I feel inspired.
144
Believed that someone is doing something.
145
Yeah, not me.
146
Yeah, I feel motivated, inspired, happy, pleased.
147
We can finish with, I hope.. it's not stressing him out much.
148
So he might be stressed out because of such activities.
149
So I hope it's not stressing him out too much.
150
Oh, dear listener, what a topic.
151
Yeah.
152
I know, it's crazy.
153
But do you have like famous people who are famous worldwide because they protect the environment?
154
I think David Attenborough is famous worldwide, but I can't think of anybody else that's similar.
155
Oh, Al Gore.
156
Al Gore used to be quite famous for this.
157
Google says DiCaprio.
158
Does Leonardo DiCaprio talk about saving the environment from his private jet?
159
Yeah.
160
Well, okay.
161
According to some website, it's DiCaprio.
162
He is a dedicated environmentalist.
163
Leonardo DiCaprio has used his global platform to defend wildlife and fight climate change.
164
There we go, dear listener.
165
Ask Google about his private jet.
166
He has funded over 200 projects focused on wildlife conservation.
167
So he kind of protects rare species.
168
From his private jet.
169
And his documentary, 2016, Before the Flood, is about climate change or something.
170
Was it filmed from his private jet?
171
No, no, no. Look, look, look.
172
He has also delivered powerful speeches at the United Nations.
173
There we go.
174
Which he reached using his private jet.
175
I'm sorry.
176
I'm not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, so I'm not going to sit here and say that he's doing good things to protect the environment.
177
Okay, okay.
178
Billie Eilish, that's another one.
179
So if you don't dislike DiCaprio, so a leading young climate advocate.
180
Advocate is like, she supports this.
181
Billie Eilish.
182
It's a she, right?
183
Yes, it is.
184
So Billie Eilish, 24 years old now.
185
Wow.
186
Okay.
187
If you have no idea who Billie Eilish is, just Google Billie E -I -L -I -S -H.
188
Yes.
189
Also pronounced Eilish.
190
Eilish.
191
Oh, really?
192
So Billie Eilish or Eilish is known for her eco -friendly concert tours.
193
Again, eco -friendly concerts.
194
Oh, she has water refill stations to reduce plastic waste.
195
Wow, that's nice.
196
No plastic during concerts.
197
Good for her.
198
Her tour, 2024 -2025, raised $11 million for climate and food.
199
Not bad.
200
So, yeah, there we go, dear listener.
201
So, you can say, like, again, Google what Billie Eilish does.
202
Again, two or three activities.
203
Just, you know, one paragraph about this because you have two minutes.
204
Or Leonardo DiCaprio.
205
There we go or imaginary friend
206
Bob who recycles, avoids plastic.
207
Thank you very much for listening.
208
We'll get back to you in our speaking part three, where we talk about, yes, the environment.
209
Oh, and protecting the environment.
210
Bye.
211
Bye.
212
Describe a person you know who is doing something to protect the environment.

214

215
and explain how you feel about what this person is doing to protect the environment.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
