This podcast is brought to you by BKC International House, specifically by our official IELTS test center.
2
Hello everyone, I'm Maria.
3
And hi, my name's Joe.
4
And we are the hosts of IELTS Speaking for Success podcast,
5
a podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.
6
We are doing this podcast to give you a look at
7
how a native English speaker would answer some of the IELTS speaking questions.
8
We have Joe with us today.
9
Rory is on holiday with Robert, thinking about his age.
10
So Joe will be answering some of the most common IELTS speaking questions.
11
The examiners have two topics to start off with.
12
their accommodation or work or studies.
13
So in the exam you will have one of these topics: accommodation or work or studies.
14
The secret is that these are the only topics you can actually prepare for.
15
Joe, are you ready to talk about accommodation?
16
Yes I am.
17
So the first question is: Joe, do you live in a house or an apartment?
18
I live in an apartment.
19
I've been living there for about three months now.
20
And it's fantastic, I really enjoy it.
21
What do you like about living there?
22
I think the most important thing is the location.
23
I'm only about a five minute walk from the metro.
24
And for someone like me, who has a very busy schedule, the convenience of living so close to the metro is probably the most important thing.
25
Which is your favorite room in your home?
26
I don't have a very big home, so unfortunately I don't have much of a choice.
27
But I'd say my favorite room is my bathroom,
28
because after walking through Moscow in a bitterly cold day.
29
I love to get home and take a hot shower at night before I go to bed.
30
So, um, so although I don't have much of a choice, I would probably say that my bathroom is is my favorite room.
31
Would you change anything about your home?
32
Why, why not?
33
You know, that's a really good question.
34
I...
35
unfortunately, when I moved into my home, There was a lot of junk and rubbish in my home already, especially on the balcony.
36
Things that belong to the owner and he just never took out.
37
So unfortunately my balcony is...
38
is very crowded now.
39
It would be great if he would take those things away and I could have the balcony to myself.
40
Would you like to move to a different home in the future?
41
You know, I'm not the type of person that really thinks about the future.
42
I mostly live in the present. But
43
No, I suppose in the near future I would like to stay in my home
44
because as I said the location is perfect.
45
In the distant future, I suppose that would depend on a lot of factors.
46
As I mentioned previously, it's a quite small apartment.
47
So if I happen to have a family in the future, I would have to move, of course.
48
But for the time being, No, my apartment is perfectly fine.
49
What sort of accommodation would you most like to live in?
50
Well, you know, to be honest, this changes every day.
51
It really depends on my mood or how I'm feeling.
52
For example, sometimes in the middle of our Moscow winters,
53
I really picture myself living in a tropical bungalow in some sort of warmer climate.
54
But on the other hand, on most days, I'm perfectly fine living where I am now.
55
So like I said, it really depends on my mood.
56
Now, Joe has just used gorgeous vocabulary.
57
Let's have a look at it now.
58
So Joe, you said that your home is a five minute walk from the metro, right?
59
Yes.
60
Could you give me another example with this phrase?
61
Sure.
62
So this means that it only takes me five minutes to walk somewhere.
63
So I live about a two minute walk from a supermarket.
64
I live about a 20 minute drive.
65
from my work.
66
So we would have A, plus a unit of time,
67
plus either a walk or a drive or a flight, then from and the location.
68
Exactly, yeah, that's a lovely phrase.
69
Also, you've mentioned that you have a busy schedule.
70
What else can you say?
71
I've got a busy schedule, like timetable.
72
Yes. Or...
73
We could say my day is packed, or I have a heavy load.
74
Yes, yeah.
75
Like my day is packed, like I have a lot of work to do.
76
Absolutely.
77
You also said, mentioned the word convenience.
78
Yeah, I think I mentioned that the location is very convenient.
79
And then I paraphrased it, I turned that word into a noun.
80
And I said that the convenience...
81
of my location is really important to me.
82
Exactly.
83
Yeah, like convenient, like we say comfortable, but we say comfortable clothes, right? But convenient...
84
Yeah, I'm sorry.
85
Yeah, I think this is difficult for some Russian speakers, because I believe you only have one word for this.
86
Exactly.
87
Convenience talks about how easy something is, whereas comfort or comfortable talks about feeling.
88
It might feel physically comfortable or emotionally comfortable.
89
Convenience means if something is easy to do.
90
Yes, exactly.
91
And about the location, we say the location is convenient.
92
Exactly.
93
Whereas a chair, for example, would be...
94
Comfortable.
95
Yay!
96
Joe, you've used a lot of phrasal verbs.
97
One of them was walk through.
98
What did you say about walk through?
99
I believe I mentioned walking through Moscow.
100
We could also walk through a park.
101
Walk through a building.
102
- Yes.
103
Also you've said that when I moved into my apartment.
104
Oh yeah, this means I changed locations.
105
I changed my accommodation.
106
I moved from my old house to a new apartment.
107
Yeah, so we say, "Oh yesterday I moved into my new home." - Something, yeah.
108
And when we leave a place, we move Out of.
109
Yes, I moved out of my old flat.
110
My old home and I moved into my new one.
111
Exactly.
112
About the junk, you said you have some junk on your balcony, like some rubbish.
113
So the previous person didn't take it out.
114
Yes.
115
So take out.
116
Junk is an informal word and we have a lot of other ways to say it.
117
We can say, as you said, rubbish.
118
Maybe trash, garbage, and just generally this means useless things, things I don't need.
119
Yeah, and we say like take out the rubbish.
120
Exactly.
121
A lot of these phrasal verbs are very informal and there's usually a formal equivalent.
122
So instead of if I wanted, if I was writing for example a formal letter, instead of take out I could write remove.
123
Exactly.
124
But especially in the speaking part of the test, take out is perfectly fine.
125
Yeah, speaking is informal, so phrasal verbs, yeah, are perfectly fine.
126
When you talked about Moscow's weather, you said that on a bitterly cold day, bitterly cold, what does it mean?
127
Well, what do you think in Moscow in winter, are the winters very cold or a little cold?
128
- Very cold.
129
- Yeah, and bitterly means very, very cold.
130
- Super cold.
131
- Super duper cold.
132
- Bitterly cold.
133
All right.
134
Now, Joel, let's talk about the grammar that you've used.
135
So, for example, you said "I've been living there for..." for how long?
136
About three months now.
137
Yes, "I've been living there for three months." Present perfect continuous, a nice structure to use.
138
That means that Joel started living there, is living there now, and will continue.
139
to live there in the future.
140
So I've been living there for five years.
141
I'm talking about both the past and right now.
142
Exactly.
143
Right.
144
You also, you've used some second conditional sentences.
145
Wow, yes.
146
Like, it would be great if I could, for example.
147
Could you give me an example?
148
Yeah, I mentioned that it would be great if the, if the owner of the apartment would come and take all the junk off, the junk out of my balcony.
149
Exactly.
150
So, of course, unfortunately this is not a very realistic scenario.
151
I don't think he's going to do this.
152
No. But hypothetically, yes, so like if, and to use this structure, you can say that.
153
Yeah, So if something's not very realistic, or I don't think it's gonna, there's a good chance it will happen, I can use this structure.
154
You also, you've used it about your future home.
155
So like, if I had a family, I'd move to a new home, for example, right?
156
So if I had a family, do you have a family now?
157
No, I don't.
158
Not yet, not yet.
159
So we are imagining, so if I had a family, I'd move, I would move, right?
160
Or for example, if I had more money, I'd buy a house in the center of Moscow.
161
Would you buy a house in Moscow?
162
If you had a lot of cash?
163
trees.
164
And I know my neighbors.
165
If you had lots of money, where would you buy it?
166
Oh, actually if I had a lot of money, I definitely would live right in the center of Moscow.
167
Maybe right on the Moscow River.
168
Kroponskenskaya district.
169
I'd say maybe.
170
Next to the Kremlin?
171
I'd say right next to the Kremlin, so I could keep an eye out on what's happening over there.
172
Perfect.
173
Joe, you've also used a nice structure.
174
I picture myself living in a bungalow.
175
A very complex construction with a precise word bungalow.
176
So not a building, not a house, but a bungalow.
177
A bungalow has one floor or like a...
178
A bungalow only has one floor and it's common in very tropical countries.
179
Exactly.
180
So it's a very precise word and I picture myself living.
181
Yeah, we could also say I view myself or I imagine myself living in this place in the future.
182
Joe, thank you very much for your answers.
183
Absolutely my pleasure.
184
Yeah, we give you a high score for your speaking band 9.
185
Yes.
186
Excellent to hear.
187
Dear listeners, now you can listen to Joe's answers again and notice all the beautiful words and grammar structures he's used.
188
Joe, do you live in a house or an apartment?
189
I live in an apartment.
190
I've been living there for about three months now.
191
And it's fantastic.
192
I really enjoy it.
193
What do you like about living there?
194
I think the most important thing is the location.
195
I'm only about a five minute walk from the metro and for someone like me who has a very busy schedule,
196
the convenience of living so close to the metro is probably the most important thing.
197
Which is your favourite room in your home?
198
I don't have a very big home, so unfortunately I don't have much of a choice.
199
But I'd say my favorite room is my bathroom because after walking through Moscow in a bitterly cold day.
200
I love to get home and take a hot shower at night before I go to bed.
201
So although I don't have much of a choice, I would probably say that my bathroom is my favorite room.
202
Would you change anything about your home?
203
Why, why not?
204
You know, that's a really good question.
205
I, unfortunately, when I moved into my home, there was a lot of junk and rubbish in my, in my home already, especially on the balcony,
206
things that belong to the owner and he just never took out.
207
So unfortunately, my balcony is, is very crowded now.
208
It would be great if he would take that those things away and I could have the balcony to myself.
209
Would you like to move to a different home in the future?
210
You know, I'm not the type of person that really thinks about the future.
211
I mostly live in the present.
212
No, I suppose in the near future, I would like to stay in my home because as I said, the location is perfect.
213
In the distant future, I suppose that would depend on a lot of factors.
214
As I mentioned previously, it's a quite small apartment.
215
So if I happen to have a family in the future, I would have to move, of course.
216
But, but for the time being, no, my apartment is perfectly fine.
217
What sort of accommodation would you most like to live in?
218
- Well, you know, to be honest, this changes every day.
219
It really depends on my mood or how I'm feeling.
220
For example, sometimes in the middle of our Moscow winters,
221
I really picture myself living in a tropical bungalow in some sort of warmer climate.
222
But on the other hand, on most days, I'm perfectly fine living where I am now.
223
So like I said, it really depends on my mood.
224
Thank you very much for listening.
225
And see you soon.
226
Bye.
227
Bye bye.

背景与情境
在这段音频中，主持人Maria和Joe讨论了雅思口语测试的开场主题，主要集中在住宿问题上。在这次对话中，Joe分享了自己在公寓生活的感受，以及生活中一些常见的疑问和讨论。他们的交流方式生动自然，通过Joe的回答，学习者不仅可以了解如何看待住宿，还能学习到适合在社交场合使用的英语表达。
日常交流的五个关键短语
- “我住在公寓里” - 用于简单介绍自己居住的地方。
- “我最喜欢的房间是浴室” - 表达个人喜好。
- “我希望能搬到一个不同的家” - 描述未来的期望。
- “位置非常方便” - 用于强调某一地点的优越性。
- “我的阳台上有太多东西了” - 反映居住环境的实际情况。
逐步影子跟读指南
为了提高你的英语口语能力，尤其是在雅思口语测试的住宿主题上，以下是一个逐步的影子跟读指南，帮助你掌握对话中的表达方式：
- 选择短片段： 从视频中选择一小段，重点关注Joe的回答。
- 聆听和理解： 多次倾听这段对话，确保理解每个单词和短语的意思。
- 模仿发音： 在听的同时，跟随Joe的语调和发音进行模仿，利用英语影子跟读技巧进行练习。
- 反复练习： 每天坚持练习，在不同的时间回顾这些短语，帮助自己更容易记住。
- 记录进步： 录下自己的跟读，回听并观察自己的发音和语速是否有进步。
通过这些步骤，不仅能够提高你的口语流利度，还能增强听力理解能力，从而在雅思口语测试中表现得更好。记得使用shadowspeak等技巧，与Joe的对话形成良好的互动，使学习过程更加愉快有效。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 条件句 if + 从句，will/would + 动词 — 条件及其结果 | if I had a family, I'd move · if I had more money, I'd buy |
| 现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作 | I've been living |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | is brought · is packed |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | you've mentioned · you've said |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
