Welcome back to IELTS Time.
2
In today's lesson we're looking at the part one topic of cars.
3
You'll hear Finn and Blondie answer a series of questions on this topic.
4
Let's begin with Finn.
5
Do you own a car or would you like to own one in the future?
6
At the moment I don't.
7
I live pretty close to campus and most places I need to go are easily accessible by public transit.
8
That said, I'd definitely like to buy one in the future, especially once I start working full-time.
9
Having your own car just gives you so much more freedom, particularly for weekend trips or getting to places that aren't well connected by buses or trains.
10
How often do you travel by car?
11
Not very often, to be honest.
12
Since I live close to my university, I usually just walk to classes, and I rely on public transport for most other things.
13
I only really end up in a car
14
when my friends give me a ride somewhere or when my parents pick me up for the holidays.
15
So yeah, I ride in one from time to time, but it's not part of my daily routine.
16
What types of cars do you like?
17
I'm quite into compact sports sedans because they strike a nice balance between performance and practicality.
18
They look sporty and exciting, but they're still practical enough for everyday use.
19
I also really like electric vehicles because the technology behind them is fascinating.
20
Do you think car colors are important?
21
Yeah, to some extent.
22
I think the color can say a lot about a person's taste.
23
Some people stick with neutral options like black, white, or silver because they look clean and hold their value better,
24
while others go for bright colors to stand out.
25
At the end of the day, though, color is secondary for me.
26
I'm way more focused on things like safety, reliability, and fuel efficiency.
27
Do you prefer to be a driver or a passenger?
28
I definitely prefer being a passenger, mainly because it's way more relaxing.
29
As a passenger, I can just kick back, listen to music, chat with friends, or check my phone without having to focus on the road.
30
Driving is fun, but it comes with a lot more stress, especially in heavy city traffic.
31
So if I have the choice, I'd rather let someone else take the wheel.
32
What do you usually do when there is a traffic jam?
33
Since I don't drive, I usually experience traffic jams as a passenger, so I just try to make the most of the delay.
34
I'll usually pop in my earbuds to listen to music or a podcast, scroll through social media, or catch up on messages.
35
If I'm with friends or family, we'll just chat to pass the time.
36
It's actually a nice way to kill time without feeling too stressed about the traffic.
37
Did you enjoy traveling by car when you were a kid?
38
Yeah, I I really did.
39
My family used to take road trips during the school holidays, and I always looked forward to them.
40
I loved looking out the window, picking the music, and stopping at different spots along the way.
41
When you're a kid, even a short drive feels like a mini adventure, so those trips are definitely some of my favorite childhood memories.
42
Have you ever taken a long road trip by car?
43
Yes, a few times.
44
The longest one was a family trip that took about 10 hours.
45
Even though sitting in a car for that long was pretty exhausting.
46
I still really enjoyed the whole experience because we passed through so many different towns and landscapes.
47
We made plenty of stops for coffee and snacks along the way which kept it fun.
48
I think road trips are great because the journey itself feels like part of the vacation.
49
That brings us to the end of Finn's interview.
50
Now let's hear a very different perspective from Blondie.
51
Do you own a car or would you like to own one in the future?
52
Yeah, I actually bought a hatchback a couple of years ago once I started working full time.
53
Having your own set of wheels just gives you so much freedom, especially for getting to work or heading out on spontaneous weekend drives.
54
How often do you travel by car?
55
Pretty much daily.
56
I drive to work every morning to avoid packed trains, and I use it on weekends for errands or getting out of the city.
57
I'd say I'm behind the wheel almost every single day.
58
What types of cars do you like?
59
I really appreciate snappy, well-handling cars.
60
Things like hot hatches or compact sedans.
61
They're fun to drive, easy to manoeuvre in city traffic and still have enough zip when you get onto the highway.
62
Do you think car colours are important?
63
To a degree, yeah.
64
Practicality-wise, lighter colours like silver or grey don't show dirt as easily, which saves you a trip to the car wash.
65
but aesthetically a bold colour like deep red or metallic blue can give a car a lot of character.
66
Do you prefer to be a driver or a passenger?
67
Hands down the driver.
68
I actually find driving pretty therapeutic.
69
It lets me focus on the road and take my mind off work stress.
70
Plus I get motion sick if I sit in the passenger seat for too long
71
so I always offer to take the wheel.
72
What do you usually do when there is a traffic jam?
73
I try not to let it get to me.
74
I'll usually put on a good audiobook
75
or queue up a fresh episode of a podcast to keep my brain occupied while I stop and go.
76
Did you enjoy travelling by car when you were a kid?
77
Honestly, not at all.
78
I suffered from terrible motion sickness, so any ride longer than 15 minutes was a nightmare for me.
79
My parents had to keep plastic bags in the glove box
80
and I spent most trips staring straight at the horizon trying not to feel nauseous.
81
It's funny because I love driving now but back then I absolutely hated it.
82
Have you ever taken a long road trip by car?
83
Plenty of times.
84
Last year a few friends and I did an eight hour drive down to the coast.
85
I ended up doing most of the driving because I enjoy it
86
so much and honestly cruising down the highway with good music is half the fun of the vacation.
87
That was Blondie's interview.
88
Although Finn and Blondie answer the same questions their answers are quite different because their lifestyles are different.
89
Finn is a student who rarely travels by car while Blondie drives almost every day.
90
Both interviews show how you can use your own experiences to create natural, personal answers.
91
Now let's look at some useful vocabulary from the interviews.
92
Accessible.
93
This word means easy to reach or easy to get to.
94
Imagine you're choosing an apartment near a university.
95
The campus is only a 10 minute walk away, there's a bus stop around the corner and several grocery stores are nearby.
96
In that situation you could say that everything you need is easily accessible.
97
It's a useful word when describing where you live, how convenient a location is, or how easy it is to reach a particular place.
98
Connected.
99
When a place is well connected, it has good transportation links that make travelling there easy.
100
For example, suppose you want to visit a nearby city.
101
If there are frequent trains, buses and highways linking the two places, you could say the city is well connected.
102
On the other hand, if there are very few transport options, getting there may take much longer.
103
This word is especially useful when talking about transportation, travel and urban development.
104
Secondary.
105
If something is secondary, it is less important than something else.
106
Imagine you're buying a laptop for university.
107
Your main concerns might be performance, battery life and reliability.
108
The colour of the laptop might matter to you, but it's not your top priority.
109
In that case you could say that appearance is secondary.
110
This word is useful whenever you're comparing priorities and explaining what matters most to you.
111
Kick back.
112
This is an informal expression that means to relax and enjoy yourself.
113
Picture yourself finishing a difficult exam or completing a major project.
114
After all that hard work, you might go home, kick back on the sofa, watch a movie and enjoy a quiet evening.
115
It's a casual expression that native speakers often use when talking about relaxing during their free time.
116
Hatchback.
117
A hatchback is a type of car with a rear door that lifts upward, giving easy access to the storage space in the back.
118
Many people choose hatchbacks because they're compact, practical and easy to park.
119
Imagine living in a busy city with narrow streets and limited parking spaces.
120
A hatchback can be a very convenient option because it's smaller and easier to manoeuvre than many larger vehicles.
121
Having your own set of wheels.
122
This is an informal way of saying that you own a car.
123
Imagine you've just graduated and started your first full-time job.
124
After saving money for several months, you're finally able to buy a car.
125
At that point, you might feel excited about having your own set of wheels
126
because it gives you the freedom to travel whenever you want.
127
This expression is common in everyday conversation and sounds friendly and natural.
128
Spontaneous.
129
When something is spontaneous, it isn't carefully planned in advance.
130
It happens because you decide to do it in the moment.
131
For example, you might wake up on a sunny Saturday morning
132
and suddenly decide to drive to the beach with a few friends.
133
Since the idea wasn't planned beforehand, it would be a spontaneous trip.
134
This word is useful when describing activities, decisions or experiences that happen unexpectedly.
135
Behind the wheel This phrase means driving a car.
136
Imagine someone who commutes to work every day and spends two hours driving.
137
That person spends a lot of time behind the wheel.
138
You can also use this phrase when talking about driving experience.
139
Someone who has been driving for many years has spent countless hours behind the wheel.
140
Motion sickness Motion sickness is the unpleasant feeling some people experience while travelling in a moving vehicle.
141
Imagine you're reading a book during a long bus journey.
142
After a while you start feeling dizzy and uncomfortable.
143
That's a common example of motion sickness.
144
Some people experience it in cars, while others experience it on boats, airplanes or amusement park rides.
145
Motion Sick While motion sickness is the name of the condition, motion sick describes how a person feels when they are experiencing it.
146
For example, if someone feels dizzy or uncomfortable during a car journey, they can say, I feel motion sick or I get motion sick when I travel on winding roads.
147
This phrase is especially useful when describing personal experiences because it focuses on your own feelings rather than the condition itself.
148
That's it for today's lesson on cars.

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
