Hello everyone, I'm your IELTS tutor Jack and welcome back to another episode of the IELTS Plus English podcast.

We had another tough topic last week.

We were doing society and although it was tough,

as I said, I did really enjoy it.

I like talking about society,

but we do have a bit of a breather today and that is sport.

I love sport.

I love playing.

I love watching.

It's a pretty big part of my life.

You know, it's really up there with kind of food and culture, society.

These are some of my real interests in my life.

So I'm looking forward to today's podcast as well.

Now, of course, before we start,

handout, you need it for studying very useful 10 vocabulary and expressions and that's available on www.jax-english.com

and before we get into the questions let's have a quick

chat what is your sport what's the sport you're really interested

in of course for me football is a big part of my life growing up in England.

Football is a huge thing that I watch and play.

But recently, I've got back into boxing.

Now, I don't know how you feel about boxing.

Some people think it's very violent, which I totally understand.

But I really do it for my fitness.

And I'm a huge fan of boxing.

I don't really watch it much.

You know, I don't watch the big fights.

I'm not really into that.

But doing it is so much fun.

I restarted it this year.

It's something that I did a lot five years ago,

so I'm super excited and really enjoying it.

So that's my sport.

Let me know about you.

What is your sport, the sport you're really into?

If you're on YouTube, let me know in the comments.

I'd love to hear from you.

So let's do our first part one, I'll ask question.

That is,

what are your favorite sports nice easy start what are your

favorite sports uh i would say my favorite sports are football uh

and boxing

because they are the biggest sports in my life for me

boxing is what i do in my free time as a hobby i took it up this year

and football is something i watch and i'm involved with in terms of looking at the news and just being a spectator

good clean start do you prefer individual or team sports

hmm i i don't know if i have a preference really but when I think about myself,

I've always been involved in individual sports.

So perhaps that's my favourite.

Golf was a huge part of my life,

and I still love golf, by the way.

And now, of course, boxing.

And these are both individual sports,

but for being a spectator and watching sports,

team sports are a huge interest for me.

Okay, part two.

So part two this time,

and it's not a hard one,

is describe a popular sport in your country.

So I've prepared two minutes.

Describe a popular sport in your country.

Time starts now.

I'd like to tell you about football

when I was young I played a lot of football it

was a huge part of my life in terms of actually doing it every day we would,

after school we would meet up in the park

and have sometimes huge team games it was a big part of the community

and the neighbourhood and all of the neighbours' kids came and we played these big games And then,

you know, in school, in our break time, we played.

As soon as that bell rang,

we'd run out and play football for the hour.

So, yeah, it's something you grow up with in England as a massive part of your life.

And then, of course, that could transition into it being a job.

So you actually become a footballer or,

as is the case with most people,

When you get a job,

you're doing these Sunday league games.

So there's a lot of this kind of amateur competitions that are very easy to find.

So it's a huge part of the society, actually.

So let me tell you a little more about football.

In England, football is throughout society very important.

and you can start at a very young age and there's leagues all the way until you're a very old age.

You know, there's retired leagues,

you know, leagues for people over 60.

Also for being a spectator,

for watching football, it's very important to,

you know, go to pubs and watch the game with the community,

watch it at home.

I think the majority of people in England watch one or two football games a week.

So yeah, it's such a big part of daily life.

For me personally, it was a huge part of my life,

as I said, and I played it...

Okay, stop there.

Not a bad answer.

I think I was repeating myself a little bit,

which I don't like doing.

By the way, if you have a problem with that,

if you feel like you're just constantly repeating yourself,

just try to make sure that when you talk about the past,

make it about you.

100

So football is my topic,

101

but I'm talking about my experience with football,

102

my story about football then

103

when you transition to describing football as i did then make

104

the topic football what is football in england what you know

105

how can we see football what do people do with football

106

so you're changing the subject which means that you're less likely to repeat yourself

107

if you're struggling with that please go to my youtube channel and check out the video

108

where I teach you how to do an IELTS part two answer.

109

I do have a video on that.

110

Good.

111

Okay, let's do some part threes.

112

Is it important for people to engage in sports?

113

I think it's really important for people to engage in sports for a number of reasons.

114

Number one is for health.

115

I think that, yes, it's great to go to the gym

116

and to do home workouts and things like that but

117

when you have a sport to focus on

118

that makes it much easier to maintain your health maintain your weight

119

so i think sports are very useful for that also for mental health

120

and community

121

and socializing i think sport is very important as well it

122

gets you into a new community of people who have something in common

123

so it's great for building a network in my case I've this year I restarted boxing

124

and I joined a new club with new I don't know anyone there

125

and already I am making new friends and finding these interesting people

126

that I wouldn't have met good okay I liked the answer

127

because i gave quite a lot of detail

128

and i gave a quick example as well a very specific

129

example i really like to include examples good okay next question

130

how can parents encourage their children to do more sports well

131

that's quite a tough question for me um it's not something i've really thought about

132

but of course I suppose the parents being interested in sport themselves would be very useful

133

so in my case I really am passionate about sport particularly football boxing as I said

134

and golf and I think that that passion that I have and the fact that I will continue doing sport

135

would hopefully rub off on my daughter and she would naturally have a curiosity to play sport.

136

I think if you have a very passive lifestyle and you don't engage in sports,

137

perhaps that would rub off on your child as well and they'd be less likely to do sport.

138

So, yeah, I think perhaps that's the most important thing.

139

good okay well i tell you what i'm not doing very well today

140

and that is including some vocabulary

141

so let's try to include some more in my final answer do you agree

142

that sports stars earn too much money oh that's a really

143

debatable point i'm going to say on the whole yes i would say they earn too much

144

but there's really two sides to that.

145

Firstly they deserve to earn a lot of money

146

because sport is generally strenuous and in a lot of sports the time frame

147

that you can actually do the sport is short.

148

A lot of people retire when they're 30 or 35.

149

I'm 35 so I can't imagine retiring now so it's very important

150

that we recognize

151

that um as i said uh you know sports are strenuous

152

they require a lot of stamina people can injure themselves

153

so i think we we have to recognize

154

that with a higher level of pay however when we're talking about someone like ronaldo earning a million dollars a week,

155

perhaps that's a little beyond a lot of money.

156

That is an enormous amount of money and too much for what he does.

157

Perhaps.

158

Very debatable.

159

Okay, I think that's good and I definitely included a lot more vocabulary.

160

So I think we did four or five words from the list this week.

161

A topic that I'm very comfortable with,

162

I'd be happy chatting about this all day long.

163

I really enjoy it but unfortunately i can't do that

164

because it's a podcast and you'll be bored

165

so i hope you enjoyed today's episode and i will be back next week with the topic

166

oh technology technology should be interesting

167

so thank you for watching today don't forget like subscribe do whatever you can to support me

168

and join the arts plus community i very much look forward

169

to next lesson talking about technology one of my real favorite subjects as well

170

so have a good week and i'll see you next wednesday bye
