Describe an interesting neighbour - IELTS speaking part 2 and part 3






Describe an interesting neighbour


You should say-

Who this neighbour is
How long have you known him/her
What kind of person he/she is

And explain why you think this neighbour is interesting





“I’m extremely lucky to have a number of very good and helpful neighbours, but when it comes to an interesting neighbour, that would have to be Joe, who lives in the apartment right opposite mine.

I first had the pleasure of meeting Joe just over a year ago, very soon after I moved into the building, and thanked  my lucky stars the day I met him. It was during one of the Covid lockdowns, and it was impossible to go outside to buy groceries, which was making things quite difficult for me… being a foreigner.

I remember it was about 3 days into the lockdown when Joe knocked on my door and introduced himself to me. The first thing that caught my interest was his excellent use of English, and how he seemed to have a slight Australian accent. To cut a long story short, he told me how he guessed that being a foreigner I might need some help in buying food and other necessities during the lockdown, and had come to offer me some help, which really made my day.

After thanking him for his generous offer, I invited him into my apartment for a chat over a cup of coffee, and we spent the next few hours chatting and getting to know one another. He told me how he had spent a number of years living and travelling abroad, which explained his excellent level of English.

He had so many interesting stories of his travels, but the one that really stood out was his account of the time he travelled across the entire width of Australia, and lived to tell the tale.  As an avid traveller myself, I found all of this so fascinating and incredibly interesting, and we sat for hours swapping stories on our different adventures.


Thank you.”

Es De Verdad

T2 E8 - Aprendizaje formal VS Aprendizaje didáctico para aprender idiomas ¿Cuál es mejor?

要不是亲眼所见，我简直不能相信：I couldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes:
这些争奇斗艳的贡品不是道具，它们都是“真“的：These competing tributes are not props, they are "real".
真正的面食、真正的民间艺人手工制作。Real flour, handmade by real folk artists.
它们叫做“面贡”。They are called "tributes made of flour".


新鲜事儿（Anecdote）

关帝庙里的面贡

Attore, autore, regista, Dario Fo è stato uno degli artisti più originali del teatro europeo del Novecento. Con il suo stile ironico e satirico ha raccontato la società italiana
Il suo teatro mescola tradizione popolare, comicità fisica e invenzione linguistica, ispirandosi anche alla Commedia dell’arte, ma trasformandola in qualcosa di completamente nuovo e contemporaneo.

Nel 1997 ha ricevuto anche il Premio Nobel per la Letteratura, un riconoscimento che ha confermato l’importanza del suo lavoro non solo in Italia, ma in tutto il mondo.

In questo episodio scopriamo la sua storia, le sue opere più famose e perché il suo teatro continua ancora oggi a far ridere e riflettere. 🎭

Script

おはようございます。日本語だんだんpodcastのゆかりです。

私はこの前、トルコで羊(ひつじ)のスープをのみました。

羊(ひつじ)ですね。

はじめての味(あじ)に、とてもおどろきました。

そして、日本ではあまり羊を食べたことがないので・・
ちょっと口に合いませんでした。

このとき、

「これは、きらいです。」
「これ、おいしくないです。」
「これは、まずいです。」

と言うと、けっこう強(つよ)いですね。
強い表現(ひょうげん)です。

そのかわりに、
「これは、苦手(にがて)です。」
「これは口に合(あ)わないです。」

と言うことができます。

口に合う
口に合わない

とは、自分が好きか、きらいか、について言っています。
たとえば、

「この料理はちょっと口に合いません。」

といいます。
でも、その料理が"まずい"とは言っていませんね。
自分にとっては、合わない、ということです。

たとえば、
「日本のごはんはどうでしたか？
お寿司や納豆は食べましたか？」

「はい、お寿司も納豆も食べました。
でも、納豆は‥ちょっと、口に合わなかったです。」

といいます。

旅行をすると、いままで食べたことがない、料理(りょうり)に出会(であ)いますね。

かわった食べものにも、出会いますね。

旅行のたのしみだと思います。

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です！

また明日。
