Good day and welcome to another episode of the IELTS plus English podcast.

where today I'm afraid we have a difficult topic.

It's globalization.

I did notice this topic coming up in the near future and I saw globalization.

I thought, oh, that's going to be a tough one.

So what I'd like to start by talking about today is this concept, and we're going to talk about this much more and perhaps you've heard it before,

but it's the concept of bringing a answers bringing topics into your world.

Okay.

This is so important when you come to a topic area.

that you are uncomfortable with.

It might be...

economics.

It could be technology.

Here's a great example, actually.

If you go back to my episode about AI,

And I.. i love ai um but i don't know a great deal about it um and the part two question

was pretty tough.

I've had a few people listen to that episode and say, Jack, was that a good answer that you gave?

Was that relevant?

I feel like you're talking about something different to the question.

the the answer is and you can see this in the comments please go back to the AI episode Yes.

I purposely moved that question into my world, my world of business. and coaching.

And although I did that, and by the way, it was great because I was able to speak comfortably,

I did still address the question, The content was relevant.

And because I was comfortable, I was able to use really good language.

so what does this all mean um bring the topic into your own world you have

Things in your life that you know about You enjoy.

For example, your job.

Your hobby or hobbies your likes your interests these are all the same kind of things For me,

you know, I love reading.

um i am interested in technology i do love golf Travel.

I have some good experiences in travel that I can draw upon.

so these areas i know if i can bring the answer Here,

to these comfortable areas i can speak really comfortably i can say a lot This means: Let's say,

for example, you have, and I talked about this recently because it was a real example, you have a question about globalization.

You say, Jack, I.. do not know i don't i barely know what it is i don't know how that's affecting my country

You can probably, if you are interested in cooking, Talk about...

ingredients that have come from around the world and they are now in your country.

If you're a golfer, are you seeing more foreigners playing golf?

any sport are you seeing more foreigners um Maybe you love your city.

how's your city changed are you seeing more foreign restaurants So, If you go through my entire syllabus,

you will identify topics that are outside of your comfort zone.

And I want you to think carefully about.

You've got to spend time on this.

Think carefully how to bring them into your comfort zone.

How to bring any question into something you can talk about.

And that's all I want to say.

I did say a lot then, but let's get started.

So, um, I'm going to, Firstly, student challenge: what evidence?

of globalization can you see in your hometown?

I'm asking this because I'm curious.

Where are you from in the world?

Tell me where you're from.

And what evidence can you see of globalization?

Are there more restaurants?

Is there more foreign food, foreign people?

let me know and uh today yeah it's a difficult topic and therefore there are difficult words we've got integration tariff

diversify, vibrant, lovely words, but it's going to be tough.

It's going to be tough to get these in the answers.

This is, of course, available in my textbook.

which is called the IELTS + Total Speaking Textbook, And it's available for you on www .britplus .net.

Go and check it out.

It's helping a lot of students and I've had some great feedback, so I hope it helps you too.

Let's get into it.

part one question one what do you understand by the term globalization Okay.

I think globalization is this rapid change

that we see around the world where it's becoming easier to go to different countries

to spread ideas to spread culture you A great example of this is how K culture,

we call it Korean culture, has spread around the world so easily.

And now you can go to a small town in the UK and have Korean food.

okay i i kept that pretty light um but uh i'm pretty happy with that answer let's do another one

What are the main benefits of globalization?

Of course, one of the main benefits is trade and being able to get new types of products.

um perhaps for more reasonable prices nowadays um the spread of culture

the spread of ideas um i think there's so many benefits that we're seeing from globalization

and i certainly enjoy them here in south korea you Excellent, let's get into a part two.

so today's part two question is describe how globalization has affected

your country um now that's an interesting one to get into my structure

so i haven't prepared let's see how i get that into my

past present future structure so i've put two minutes on the clock And my time starts now.

I'd like to tell you about how globalization has affected South Korea.

I first came to South Korea about 15 years ago.

It's been a long time and when I did Thank you.

I it felt so different to back home in England.

It was really, you know, Korean culture was so strong and we had all the traditional food,

but there was a real lack of things like coffee shops and Western influenced food.

These kind of family restaurants were not so popular.

Wine.

coffee some of these products that were so big back home or in the us were not so prevalent here

and that made it a little difficult for me to integrate into korean society so i kind of

suffered a bit from culture shock.

let me tell you a little bit more about globalization in korea and how it's changed so much so

Certainly in the past 10 years, it's changed really rapidly.

And all these things I've just said are now readily available.

Bye.

I, um...

I see such diversity of products available.

I think there's a lot of sort of free trade agreements now available or have been set up.

So we're getting more well -priced wines and foods from around the world.

100

And it's also affected restaurants as well.

101

A huge number of Mexican, Italian, Spanish restaurants.

102

made Korean food very exciting as well.

103

We see more combinations, fusion food of Korean and other countries.

104

I also noticed that there's so much to say, so much to say.

105

Well, I think I'm quite happy with that answer, but obviously I didn't make that much progress with my structure.

106

with my strategy but you know i got a few words in there

107

a bit of a diversity of the tenses the grammar tenses

108

but yeah loads more to say I won't I'm gonna move straight on to part three now um so

109

How has globalization affected the economy of your country?

110

Globalization has really diversified the things available in Korea.

111

So, you know, economy wise, I assume that that has affected the way money is spent and what it's spent on.

112

We can see all different types of shops and restaurants and things like that.

113

On the other hand, and perhaps more importantly, because of globalisation and the spread of Korean culture,

114

we see a lot more tourism and that's becoming a big source of income for Koreans.

115

So, for example, you can go somewhere like Itaewon, which is a region of Seoul,

116

and see far more foreigners there and very successful businesses.

117

I think you can see many places around Korea that are profiting from tourism.

118

Okay.

119

What are the disadvantages of globalization?

120

I think the major disadvantage of globalization perhaps is That's with the increased tourism,

121

you can see increased pollution.

122

Thank you.

123

There are I think because of globalization, I think we can definitely put it down to that,

124

you know, the spread of culture and movies and dramas and things like that.

125

It encourages people to travel more.

126

It's becoming easier to travel.

127

and you can get people,

128

much more people, traveling to these beauty spots and more obscure parts of the world.

129

And that, for the environment, is a bad thing.

130

So, you know, in my case, I went to an island in Paris.

131

in the Philippines called Barakai.

132

And I always remember that example because it was full of litter.

133

And I think that's probably down to a huge number of tourists.

134

travelling there and...

135

spreading litter and not being so careful with the environment.

136

You could see the beach, inland, the sea, actually in the sea, there was a lot of rubbish, which was a real shame.

137

Good, okay, I'm trying to give clear examples today.

138

I think I've used that before.

139

By the way, this is an example.

140

of bringing an answer into my own world

141

The disadvantages of globalization, I.. i don't know i don't know

142

that many certainly off the top of my head right now but I can talk about travel I can talk about tourism,

143

that's comfortable for me, so that's what I'm doing.

144

Thank you.

145

Next question: Do you think globalization will continue to grow in the future?

146

Yeah, I think it's absolutely going to grow in the future.

147

It, of course, depends on...

148

The way that culture is spread and things like, as I said before, dramas and movies, that's becoming easier with things like Netflix.

149

So that's going to encourage globalization.

150

But in terms of trade, if we are going to get more free trade agreements, between countries

151

and there are going to be less tariffs you know we see these tariffs being created between countries

152

that disagree with each other if that can happen less tariffs, then yes, globalization is going to continue to grow,

153

continue to spread, and we're going to see...

154

the most isolated parts of Earth Um,

155

more visibly and we're going to visit those places so yeah i do think it's going to continue Thank you.

156

Great.

157

So as you heard today, I think that's what you can hear throughout my answers.

158

I really focused on the travel part of globalization.

159

That's only one part of globalization.

160

But that's what I'm comfortable with.

161

my answers were relevant i was able to use some of the vocabulary And because of that,

162

I'm happy with my answers and I think it would be a good score. So that's everything today.

163

I think that was a pretty long episode, so sorry about that, but I do hope it was helpful.

164

Next week, we are going to be having a bonus episode.

165

I've decided, based on a student's question, we've got a bonus episode.

166

We're going to really dig deeply into part three answers, so do come back for that.

167

So I'll see you next week.

168

Study incomprehensibly hard this week, and I'll see you next week.

169

see you then bye bye!

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
