27. What Animal ARE You? 你像什么动物？

[Esta es una entrevista que no fue transcrita en su totalidad, es decir que las ultimas 27 preguntas estan sin transcripción a fin de dificultar el nivel de comprensión del alumno.]

Jhon: Bueno, al aceptar la siguiente entrevista, me das los derechos de autor de tu voz para usos educativos y/o personales. ¿Estás de acuerdo?

Sofía: Sí.

Jhon: Súper. Entonces bueno, acércate un poco para que estemos más cerca en el audio. Así que bueno, cuando pienso en vos, yo relaciono la persona que sos vos con el deporte. Entonces, pensando en diferentes temas, se me ocurrió que ahora en Francia vamos a celebrar los Juegos Olímpicos. La primera pregunta que tengo para ti, y puedes hablar un poquito despacio, no tan rápido porque son personas que probablemente no entienden español, es para practicar. ¿Qué viene a tu mente cuando escuchas la palabra o el concepto de los Juegos Olímpicos?

Sofía: Digamos que es como... a ver, el concepto como esperanza porque pues a mi parecer siempre fue como un sueño poder ir al menos a ver, como ver. Y pues también, de pronto en algún momento participar en ellos. Al final, pues en este caso no se pudo, pero siempre ha sido como un sueño y como algo que siempre he tenido como esa esperanza de ver en vivo.

Jhon: Ok, ¿crees tú que eres como una fanática de los Juegos Olímpicos o es algo más casual?

Sofía: No tanto así como una súper fanática porque te mentiría si te dijera que me levanto a las tres de la mañana, porque es en otro lugar del mundo, los horarios son diferentes. O sea, si te dijera que me levanto todos los días a ver las competencias, no. Más que todo me interesa la natación, porque a mí me encanta el deporte, pero específicamente la natación es lo que más me gusta. Entonces, sí me encanta mucho pero con los años ha bajado un poco la emoción, pero igual siempre trato de seguir conectada.

Here is a part of the transcription and due to the 2000 characters limit, I cant put the other part but I hope you guys enjoy it!

Best Wishes!

Talk Time with Jhon!

Una platica sobre las Olimpiadas con Sofia!

Today's word is scan. This is a verb that means to quickly read or look at something, usually to find a specific piece of information. Maybe you're scanning a form to find the date that it was written or scanning a page from a book to find out where the story takes place.

If you want to achieve a band score six in IELTS you must show the ability to talk openly and freely. You are allowed to make mistakes and are not expected to speak perfect English. It is OK to hesitate, repeat yourself, or correct yourself if you think you have made a mistake. You will be able to use a range of connecting words.

Let’s look at those three skills in detail. First, let’s consider connecting words. connecting words are used to organize thoughts into words. For example, when we speak, we might say “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… I’d really like to have lessons. What connecting words did I use? Listen again: “Well, I really like to go swimming. But…I’m not very good at it. I mean, I like swimming but… You know, I’d really like to have lessons.” 
Did you hear the words well, however, and you know? These are connecting words. So, in your IELTS speaking, be sure to use connecting words. I have to admit, connecting words are not always used, because students don’t know too many.  To be honest, I think all students should practice using them. I’ve always believed that connecting words are a fantastic way to make sure you get a good speaking score in IELTS.

Did you hear three more connecting words? What were they? Correct: I have to admit, and to be honest, and I’ve always believed. Next time you have a conversation with your teacher, be sure to use To be honest, I have to admit and I’ve always thought. To be honest, I hope you choose me as your teacher. I have to admit, I enjoy teaching English. I’ve always believed that pratice makes perfect. See you!
