Hello, lovely, I'm Mariam.

And my name is Rory.

I'm the host of the IELTS Speaking for Success podcast.

The podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.

We started this podcast to give you gorgeous grammar and fabulous vocabulary for your high IELTS score.

Your bad nine score.

Bad nine score.

Oh, Rory, what's that book behind you?

What is it?

Oh, it's a history book.

I just finished reading it.

History?

Are you reading history?

I am.

Shall we talk about history?

Oh my god, let's talk about history.

It's another coincidence.

History, dear listener.

Yes, they can ask you questions about history.

Let's talk about history.

Do you like history?

Yeah, I love it.

To the extent I actually studied it at university

and a lot of the books I read for pleasure now are historical accounts.

I'm not sure why I like it so much though,

it's just something that clicked with me when I was at school.

Did you like history when you were young?

Yeah, absolutely.

History was one of my favorite classes and I absolutely excelled at it when we wrote essays on it,

regardless of the historical topic.

Except for the history of agriculture,

I have absolutely no idea why we had to learn about that,

or at least learn about it in such an off-putting manner.

It lacked any energy whatsoever.

When was the last time you read about history?

Well, that would be the last time I picked up the book I'm reading now.

It's a kind of almost revisionist history of the world

and how indigenous Americans contributed to enlightenment thinking and subsequent modes of thought in the West.

Have you ever been to historical museums?

Not recently, but I have been to quite a few,

like the McManus Galleries in Dundee,

which has a historical art collection,

and the Natural History Museum in Oxford.

It also has this massive collection of artwork and cultural artefacts that were produced by native people from across the world.

And they're of great interest to me on a personal and professional level,

since I like learning about them.

But I also have to teach students about culture at times.

What do you do?

History.

Yeah, we study history at school.

Usually you study the history of your country,

the history of other countries.

But as a subject, it's just like, I love history.

I hate history.

I can't stand history.

Like, I really dislike it, right?

Or you're like, yeah, I love it.

Or I don't.

It's not my thing.

Like, oh, no, history is not for me.

So you can say, it's not my thing.

History is exciting.

You can say that I actually studied history at university or I loved it at school.

I read a lot of books on history.

And when a book is about history,

we call it a historical book.

I think a historical book refers more to how old the book is,

whereas a history book is on the subject of history.

We can also call it a historical account.

Yeah.

So we just say books on history.

And you can say that history clicked with me when I was at school.

That just means it was like a natural connection.

Clicked with me it's informal

you can say that i didn't really click with my boss

so like i didn't like my boss the first time we met i studied history

when i was at school

when i was at primary school secondary school high school actually

we kind of we study history all the time at school yeah we were living in history

it was one of my favorite classes

or it was one of my least favorite classes like i

absolutely hated history all the dates to remember all the names

geographical names ooh la la an important thing to point out

now is the grammar here it's not one of my favorite

class it's always one of my favorite classes remember the plural

even though it's one of i always had bad marks at history

or i excelled at this subject

so i got excellent marks is it a band nine collocation let's check excel at so be excellent at something.

Let's check what Cambridge Online Dictionary says.

C2, absolutely.

But the Cambridge Online Dictionary says it's Excel in.

Oh, okay.

I think you can Excel at something as well.

Hi there, ChatGPT here.

The correct phrase is Excel at.

For example, she excels at mathematics,

he excels at public speaking.

However, Excel in can also be used,

but it's typically followed by a field or area rather than a specific skill.

100

For example, she excels in the field of neuroscience.

101

He excels in sports.

102

So, use Excel at for specific activities or skills and Excel in for broader areas or disciplines.

103

It's like succeed in or succeed at.

104

Alright, okay.

105

And then you can say,

106

like, I particularly enjoyed the history of...

107

Oh, God, it could be the history of anything.

108

It could be military history.

109

I already talked about agricultural history.

110

It could also be the history of something.

111

The history of World War II,

112

for example, or political history.

113

Or, for example, ancient history,

114

early modern history, or just modern history than Chinese history,

115

Japanese history, African history.

116

If history is taught in an off-putting manner.

117

It means you don't want to talk about it because it's not interesting or exciting.

118

If you didn't like the teacher,

119

the classes were boring, So you can say that history was taught in an off-putting manner.

120

Unpleasant.

121

Boring.

122

Not engaging.

123

Boring, yeah, dull.

124

No. So I didn't like history school because it was taught in an off-putting manner or it was off-putting.

125

Like unpleasant.

126

Actually, C2.

127

Oh, nice.

128

Nice.

129

Band 9, off-putting.

130

For example, people could be off-putting.

131

Oh, like, he's off-putting.

132

He's unpleasant.

133

Or he worries all the time.

134

Or like, I didn't agree to take this job because the salary was off-putting.

135

Or you can say just like,

136

I didn't like history because of the teacher.

137

The teacher was dull.

138

History is boring.

139

To paraphrase the examiner's question,

140

you can say I picked up a book on history.

141

So, the last time I picked up a book on history was last year,

142

or at school, or at university.

143

And the book was about indigenous Americans,

144

dear listener, or indigenous tribes in New Zealand.

145

This is what you should say.

146

Or you can say, oh,

147

actually, I'm reading a book on history now.

148

I learn a lot of interesting things about indigenous people in Mexico.

149

All right, dear listener, indigenous refers to people who originally lived in this place.

150

So, like local people, local tribes,

151

indigenous people of this land.

152

or you can say the indigenous population.

153

And usually kind of New Zealand, Mexico, Scotland, Rory.

154

Do you have any indigenous tribes?

155

I don't think...

156

Well, you could argue that Scottish people are the indigenous people of this country.

157

Actually, yeah, Scots.

158

Scotland freedom.

159

And then you can say,

160

like, I've recently read a book on the Enlightenment, this period of history.

161

Period of history when everyone turned the lights on, metaphorically speaking.

162

Careful with the pronunciation, we say Enlightenment.

163

Yes, Enlightenment.

164

If we enlighten, we inform, we illuminate.

165

and people became more informed allegedly in this period of history

166

other opinions are available the late 17th century to the early 19th century so either talk about indigenous tribes in Mexico or

167

enlightenment or both, like me

168

thank you very much to my good friend Elena for her book

169

that I'm currently reading that will be very useful for talking about this kind of topic

170

and it has been very useful as well.

171

We can go to historical museums.

172

Can I say history museums?

173

I don't see why not.

174

I don't know what other kinds of museums there are.

175

Yeah, different websites say like history museums,

176

like 12 history museums you should visit at least once.

177

What's number one?

178

What do you think?

179

Is it going to be the Natural History Museum in London?

180

No. Athens, Rory, Greece, Acropolis Museum.

181

Super ancient.

182

The Acropolis Museum.

183

Yeah, dear listener.

184

Museums coming with articles.

185

So, the Acropolis Museum in Athens.

186

The second one on this website.

187

The British Museum.

188

Hagia Sophia Museum in Istanbul, Turkey.

189

The Cathedral Museum.

190

I think I've messed up the pronunciation.

191

Hagia Sophia, the Hagia or Hagia.

192

I'd say Hagia Sophia, but I don't know.

193

Some people say Hagia as well.

194

I've heard it said in different ways.

195

If there are any people from Turkey, then please enlighten us.

196

A lovely place.

197

And then the army museum in Paris.

198

So it's like there, you see.

199

And these kinds of museums, dear listeners.

200

So the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore, for example.

201

So, Asian civilizations.

202

And in China, it's the Museum of Terracotta Warriors.

203

Oh, they're made of...

204

Oh, is it sand?

205

I thought they were made of pottery,

206

but I don't know much about them.

207

Warriors and horses and this astonishing army of sculptures.

208

And then the Egyptian Museum in Egypt, obviously.

209

So you can choose one of the museums,

210

learn a fancy name and say that yes.

211

Rory, nothing about, you know, London, Scotland, nothing?

212

Well, the McManus Galleries is in Scotland and the Natural History Museum is not just in Oxford,

213

sorry it's not just in london it's also in oxford

214

and you should use the present perfect

215

so i've been to i've never been to any museums any historical places or i've seen a nice art collection

216

at the natural history museum in london in new york

217

and you can talk about a massive collection of artwork like a huge collection of art different artifacts

218

so different items so when you go to a museum you see different exhibits items things

219

or artifacts but that's just things or items sweet and we're gonna wrap it up with a joke, dear listener.

220

But Rory, you need to teach one word,

221

right, for our listener to understand the joke, okay?

222

So, Rory, tell me, but don't tell the joke, okay?

223

Okay, fine.

224

So, snakes, you know, we have animals,

225

we have birds, we have snakes, you know, snakes.

226

I am familiar.

227

What sound do snakes make?

228

They hiss.

229

Yeah.

230

Cats meow, cows moo, but snakes make this hissing sound.

231

So the joke, dear listener.

232

What's a snake's favorite subject in school?

233

History.

234

Thank you for listening to the episode.

235

I will be in a dark room somewhere if anyone needs me.

236

A snake has their favorite subject and it's history.

237

You can stop anytime.

238

Bye.

239

Do you like history?

240

Yeah, I love it.

241

To the extent I actually studied it at university

242

and a lot of the books I read for pleasure now are historical accounts.

243

I'm not sure why I like it so much, though.

244

It's just something that clicked with me when I was at school.

245

Did you like history when you were young?

246

Yeah, absolutely.

247

History was one of my favorite classes and I absolutely excelled at it when we wrote essays on it,

248

regardless of the historical topic.

249

Except for the history of agriculture,

250

I have absolutely no idea why we had to learn about that,

251

or at least learn about it in such an off-putting manner.

252

It lacked any energy whatsoever.

253

When was the last time you read about history?

254

Well, that would be the last time I picked up the book I'm reading now.

255

It's a kind of almost revisionist history of the world

256

and how indigenous Americans contributed to enlightenment thinking and subsequent modes of thought in the West.

257

Have you ever been to historical museums?

258

Not recently, but I have been to quite a few,
