--------------------------------------------------
As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
1st time: listen and catch the words you know alreay, have a guess about the content.
2nd time: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
3rd time: listen one more time, repeat after it.
4th time: practise until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.

Describe an invention that changed how people's life - IELTS speaking








Describe an invention that changed how people’s life


You should say:

What it was
When it was invented
How people use it

And explain how it has changed peoples lives






“I think the one invention that has really changed how we live in recent years has to be the smartphone, which really has become an integral part of so many people's lives, as well as an item that most people feel they can’t live without.

I guess the smartphone as we know it today was invented by Apple, and hit the mass market back in about 2007 or 8, which really broke new ground and launched a mobile revolution, quickly becoming the one piece of technology everybody wanted to own.

I think the first way the smartphone changed peoples lives was in how it literally put the internet in everyone's pocket, and completely revolutionised the mobile industry. On top of that, it also put a good camera in our pockets, and made us all aspiring photographers overnight, which also led to a huge rise in the different social media platforms.

I really believe that the smartphone and the apps that go with it changed so much in our lives, even the way people work today, and the way we do business. From posting selfies on facebook and online shopping to work related emails or communication the smartphone really has revolutionised just about everybody's life, from the ordinary joe bloggs to the business bigwigs.

Thank you.”

        上星期，白雪在网上看到了一套漂亮的公寓，有一房一厅，还有一个厨房、洗手间和一个大阳台。价格也不贵，她能接受。

        从照片上看，卧室和客厅看起来又大又干净，客厅有沙发、电视，卧室的床也看起来很舒服。

        阳台的外面可以看到一个小公园，如果住在这里，还可以每天去公园散散步。

       最重要的是，这个公寓离地铁很近，走路5分钟就到了，她只要坐一个地铁站就可以到公司，或者，她可以走路半个小时到公司。

        她高兴极了，约我周末的时候一起去看看这套公寓。


一套公寓 yī tào gōng yù  an apartment
厨房 chú fáng  kitchen
阳台 yáng tái  balcony
价格 jià gé  price
接受 jiē shòu to accept
卧室wò shì bedroom
重要 zhòng yào important


Last week, Báixuě saw a beautiful apartment online, with one room and one living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a large balcony. The price is not expensive, she can accept it. The bedroom and living room look big and clean in images. The living room has a sofa and TV. The bed in the bedroom also looks very comfy. You can see a small park not far outside the balcony. You can go to the park for a walk every day if living here.
The most important thing is that this apartment is very close to the subway, and it is only 5 minutes' walk away. Only one subway station to the company, or, she can walk half an hour to the company. She was so happy that she asked for my company to visit this apartment in person at the weekend.

02. 一套漂亮的公寓！Yī tào piàoliang de gōngyù! A pretty apartment!

おはようございます！Atsushiです。
北海道に帰ってきましたので、今日は北海道からとっています。

今日の天気ははれ。
気温は23℃、大阪に比べると10℃ぐらい低いです。
とても涼しいですね。


今日はあいづちについて。
日本人と話している時に、
へー、とか、
うんうん、とか
言われたことはありませんか？
それがあいづちです。

相手の話に言葉で反応して、会話をスムーズにします。

では、なぜあいづちというのか。
それは、昔、鍛冶 (かじ) (きんぞくをたたいて物を作る人)の二人の職人が鉄の製品を作る時、リズム良く交互に槌(つちーhammer)を打ち合わせて作っていました。

そうやって、あいてのつちにあわせることから、相手の話に反応することを、あいづちと言うようになりました。


あいづちには、
へー
うんうん
それで？
そうなんや！
ほんまにー
など、いろいろあります。
そして、人によります。


日本はあいづちが多い国です。
相手の話を聞いていることをあいづちやうなずきなどで伝えることができます。

一方、ほかの国では、あいづちが多すぎると良くないところもあるようですので、そういったコミュニケーションの文化、習慣を知ることも大切ですね。

はい、ということで、今回もありがとうございます！
ではまた！
