Hello, and welcome to IELTS Time.
2
Today we're looking at IELTS Speaking Part 1 – Rubbish and Recycling.
3
As usual, you'll hear two mock interviews featuring Finn and Blondie, followed by some useful vocabulary, for talking about the topic.
4
Let's get started.
5
Is waste sorting common in your country?
6
Well, it's quite common, especially in big cities, at least in theory.
7
There are different bins for different types of waste, and people are supposed to sort everything before throwing it away.
8
But honestly, I don't think most people actually bother.
9
A lot of people just put everything in one bag and take it downstairs to one of the large communal bins.
10
What kind of rubbish do you usually have at home?
11
Mostly food waste and packaging, I'd say.
12
There's quite a lot of plastic, things like wrappers, containers, and bottles, as well as cardboard from deliveries.
13
I don't really separated as i go though i normally just
14
put everything in the same rubbish bag how do you recycle things like paper
15
and plastic to be honest i don't really recycle them separately i know we're supposed to
16
and there are separate bins for paper and plastic
17
but at home i usually just put everything in the same bag
18
when i take it downstairs i just put the bag into
19
one of the large communal bins do you usually separate your
20
rubbish before throwing it away not really no i know that's what you're supposed to do, but most people I know don't bother doing it at home.
21
It's much easier just to put everything in one bag and take it outside.
22
I guess if there were a stricter system, people might be more likely to sort it properly.
23
What do you usually do with empty bottles and cans?
24
If I'm at home, they normally just go into the same rubbish bag as everything else.
25
Sometimes I'll keep a few bottles if there's a recycling collection or a separate bin nearby, but I wouldn't say I do it consistently.
26
Most of the time, I just throw them away with the rest of my rubbish did you recycle
27
when you were a kid not really no I knew
28
that recycling existed
29
but my family didn't have a strict system at home we'd basically put our household rubbish into a bag
30
and take it outside I think I became more aware of recycling later on
31
when I started living in a big city what do you do
32
when you see rubbish on the street honestly I usually just
33
walk past it unless I've dropped it myself I don't normally pick up other people's rubbish.
34
Even if there's a bin nearby, I probably wouldn't bother.
35
I know it's not particularly responsible, but I think that's fairly normal where I live.
36
Are there many recycling bins in the place where you live?
37
Yeah, there are quite a few.
38
You'll usually find separate bins for things like plastic, paper, and general waste, especially in residential areas.
39
The funny thing is, though, that people don't always use them properly.
40
It's pretty common to see different types of rubbish mixed together
41
in the same bin do you think people in your country
42
produce too much rubbish yeah definitely i think we throw away a lot of packaging and disposable stuff
43
and online shopping has probably made it worse
44
but at the same time i don't think most people are
45
deliberately wasteful it's just convenient to buy things use them
46
and throw the packaging away what do you do to reduce
47
the amount of rubbish you produce honestly not a huge amount i try not to waste food
48
and sometimes I'll reuse a shopping bag rather than getting a new one.
49
But apart from that, I probably produce a fairly normal amount of rubbish.
50
I know there are things I could do differently, but it's not something I actively think about every day.
51
All right, that was Finn's mock interview.
52
Now let's move on to our second speaker, Blondie.
53
Is waste sorting common in your country oh absolutely especially in
54
cities the rules can be surprisingly strict every area has its
55
own system for separating things like burnable waste non -burnable waste plastics
56
and cans but if i'm being completely honest
57
when you're a busy adult working late trying to remember
58
which category a particular plastic container belongs in can feel like
59
a psychological test what kind of rubbish do you usually have at home?
60
Mostly food packaging, takeaway containers and plastic bottles.
61
Since I work long hours, I end up buying quite a lot of ready -made meals or getting takeaway.
62
Even when you buy something pretty simple, there's often a surprising amount of packaging.
63
So the plastic pile grows pretty quickly.
64
How do you recycle things like paper and plastic?
65
I try my best, but honestly, it's a chore.
66
For plastic bottles, you're technically supposed to rinse them, peel off the label and separate the cap.
67
If I have time on the weekend I'll do it properly.
68
But on a Tuesday night, when I'm exhausted, sometimes I just shove it into whatever bin is closest and hope for the best.
69
Do you usually separate your rubbish before throwing it away?
70
I have to, really.
71
Otherwise, they can leave my rubbish bag behind with a warning sticker.
72
It happened to me once when I accidentally put a plastic tray in the burnable bag and it was so embarrassing.
73
So now I sort it out of pure fear of social shame, not necessarily because I love doing it.
74
What do you usually do with empty bottles and cans?
75
If I'm out, I usually look for a recycling bin, though some of them are specifically for bottles and cans.
76
At home, I rinse them out and save them for the collection day.
77
My building has a particular day for bottles and cans, so I normally just keep them until then.
78
Did you recycle when you were a kid?
79
Not really by choice, but my parents were pretty strict about it.
80
My mum used to wash out bottles and flattened milk cartons religiously.
81
Back then, it just felt like an annoying household rule.
82
But it definitely drilled the habit into me, so sorting trash now is just second nature.
83
What do you do when you see rubbish on the street?
84
Honestly, I usually just walk past it.
85
If it's something I've dropped myself, obviously I'll pick it up, but I wouldn't normally pick up someone else's rubbish.
86
And since there aren't always bins around, I'd have to carry it with me, so I'd probably just leave it.
87
Are there many recycling bins in the place where you live?
88
Not really on the streets.
89
You can sometimes walk for quite a while without seeing a public trash can.
90
But at my apartment building,
91
we have a designated, enclosed garbage collection area on the ground floor where everyone sorts their bags into the building's large bins.
92
Do you think people in your country produce too much rubbish?
93
Oh, 100% people tend to use a lot of disposable packaging
94
and if you look at what gets thrown away every day there's a huge amount of plastic it's convenient obviously
95
but sometimes you buy one small thing
96
and somehow end up with three layers of packaging around it
97
what do you do to reduce the amount of rubbish you
98
produce I carry a reusable shopping bag in my backpack
99
so I don't have to use plastic bags when I'm shopping and I use a reusable water bottle.
100
But aside from those basic habits, my daily routine still generates way more packaging waste than I'd like to admit.
101
And that's the end of Blondie's interview.
102
Now let's look at some useful vocabulary for talking about rubbish and recycling.
103
When you're talking about rubbish at home, it's useful to be specific about what you're actually throwing away.
104
Food waste refers to food that gets thrown away
105
while food packaging means the materials
106
that food comes in you might have takeaway containers plastic wrappers
107
and cardboard particularly if you buy ready -made meals or order things online
108
for example you could say most of my household rubbish is food packaging takeaway containers and cardboard from deliveries
109
when you're preparing bottles and containers for recycling there are several useful verbs you can use.
110
To rinse out a bottle means to clean the inside quickly with water.
111
Wash out a container has a similar meaning but usually suggests cleaning it more thoroughly.
112
You can also peel off a label, separate the cap or flatten a carton to make it easier to store.
113
Another useful expression is crush a plastic bottle especially if you want to make it take up less space.
114
For example you could say I usually rinse out my bottles, separate the caps and crush the bottles before putting them in the recycling bin.
115
Sorting rubbish gives you quite a few useful expressions for describing your everyday habits.
116
You can sort your rubbish or separate different types of rubbish.
117
For example you might separate paper from plastic.
118
If you don't bother sorting things you might put everything in the same bag
119
or mix different types of rubbish together and
120
when you're ready to get rid of it you can put it in the bin or throw it away.
121
For example you could say I usually sort my rubbish
122
and separate paper from plastic but
123
when I'm in a hurry I sometimes put everything in the same bag and throw it away.
124
It's also useful to know the vocabulary for the places where rubbish is put and collected.
125
A public trash can is a bin
126
that you can use in a public place
127
while a communal bin is a large bin shared by several people such as the residents of an apartment building.
128
A garbage collection area is a designated place where residents leave their rubbish.
129
You can also talk about a collection day when a particular type of rubbish is collected.
130
Instead of saying I put my rubbish outside you can say leave it out for collection.
131
For example we have a collection day for bottles and cans
132
so I normally take them to the garbage collection area and leave them out the night before.
133
When you're talking about the amount of rubbish you produce, vocabulary related to disposable and reusable items is particularly useful.
134
Disposable packaging is packaging that's designed to be used once and then thrown away, while packaging waste refers to the rubbish produced by that packaging.
135
For things that you use repeatedly, reusable shopping bag and reusable water bottle are useful phrases and
136
if you're talking about online shopping you can mention packaging from deliveries which might include cardboard boxes, plastic wrapping and other materials.
137
For example I try to use reusable bags and bottles
138
but I still end up with quite a lot of disposable packaging
139
and packaging waste especially from deliveries and that brings us to the end of today's episode on rubbish and recycling.

この動画が優れた英語スピーキング練習素材になる理由
IELTS スピーキング対策に最適なこの動画は、日常的なトピック「ゴミとリサイクル」を取り上げ、自然な会話の流れやリアルな発言を紹介しています。受験者が直面しやすい質問に対する答えが、過度にフォーマルでなく、誰でも共感できる内容であるため、学習者が自分の言葉に置き換えやすく、スピーキングの自信をつけるのに役立ちます。また、発音やイントネーションも自然で、shadowspeak（シャドースピーチ）の練習に最適です。
自然な表現の秘密を解き明かす
動画の会話からいくつかの文を取り上げ、なぜ自然に聞こえるのかを分析しましょう。
- 「Well, it's quite common, especially in big cities, at least in theory.」：「well」で話し始めることで、自然な口調になります。「at least in theory」は「少なくとも理論上は」というニュアンスで、実際の状況とのギャップを表し、会話に深みを与えます。
- 「I know we're supposed to, and there are separate bins for paper and plastic, but at home I usually just put everything in the same bag.」：「but」で逆説を使うことで、日常的な葛藤を表現し、リアリティがあります。「supposed to」は「～すべきだ」という義務感を表し、自然な英語表現の一つです。
- 「I try not to waste food and sometimes I'll reuse a shopping bag rather than getting a new one.」：「try not to」「sometimes」「rather than」などのフレーズを使うことで、具体的な行動を柔らかく表現し、会話が生硬にならずに済みます。
効果的な練習ルーティン：repeat-and-record loop
英語の発音を良くするためには、shadowspeakの練習が不可欠です。この動画を使った簡単なルーティンを紹介します。まず、動画を10秒ほど再生し、すぐにその後に自分で同じ内容を発音して録音します。録音した自分の声と動画の音声を比較し、イントネーションやリズムの違いを確認します。これを繰り返すことで、自然な発音や流暢さが身につきます。また、IELTS スピーキング対策として、質問に対する答えを自分の言葉で言い換えてみる練習も重要です。例えば、「ゴミを分別する習慣はありますか？」という質問に対し、動画の答えを参考にしながら、自分の生活に合わせた回答を作り、録音してみましょう。
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | I've dropped · has probably made |
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | is put · is collected |
| 「might / may」による可能性 might/may + 動詞 — 起こりうるが確実ではないこと | might be · might have · might separate |
| 現在進行形 am/is/are + -ing — 今まさに、または最近起きていること | we're looking · i'm being · I'm shopping |
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
