IELTS Speaking - How to make time to think of an answer

Host: Andrew Tate was taken into custody in Romania

Host: Welcome to the latest edition of the Legal Insider podcast. I'm your host, and today we have a shocking story to bring you. Influencer Andrew Tate, a self-confessed misogynist, has been arrested and taken into custody on charges of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime. Joining me to discuss this is our reporter. Can you tell us more about this case?

Reporter: Yes, the suspect and three others were arrested last night in Romania on charges of forming an organized crime group, human trafficking, and rape. Prosecutors say that six women have been identified as having been exploited by the group, which allegedly created pornographic content for paid websites as part of a venture that made them a significant sum of money. The authorities are alleging that this was the purpose of the group and are requesting to extend the suspect's detention period from 24 hours to 30 days.

Host: This is a shocking and disturbing story. What is known about the other suspects arrested with the suspect?

Reporter: The suspect's brother and two Romanian nationals were also taken into custody. It's not clear at this time what their involvement in the alleged crimes is. The suspect is a well-known online personality, with notoriety for his controversial views. He was kicked off Twitter in 2017 for his misogynistic views but was reinstated last month. He has publicly stated that women belong in the home, can´t drive, and are a man’s property. Despite these views, he was one of the most searched-for celebrities on social media in 2022.

Host: And do we know if the suspect has a criminal record?

Reporter: It's not clear at this time if he has committed any offenses previously, but these are certainly serious allegations and the authorities are seeking to extend his detention period. We'll continue to follow this story and bring you updates as more information becomes available.

Host: Thank you for bringing us this astounding

大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【和蛋有关的有趣的词】。
首先是跟吃有关的“蛋”。我们最经常吃的是鸡蛋，煎蛋、水煮蛋、蒸蛋和茶叶蛋。还有一些家常菜，例如西红柿炒鸡蛋、韭菜炒蛋、蛋炒饭等等。我们也吃鸭蛋，一般是咸鸭蛋。做法是用盐腌制，可以配粥吃，也可以用来做菜。
你可能听过一些带有“蛋”的词，其实是形容人的。第一个，坏蛋，指很坏的人。例如：他是个大坏蛋，总是欺负人。第二个，笨蛋，指很笨的人。例如：你这个笨蛋，这么简单的题都不会做。第三个，倒霉蛋，指的是运气很不好的人。例如：他真是个倒霉蛋，每次去旅游都下大雨。
我们再来看看其他的词，“完蛋”。猜猜是什么意思？要是失去这个客户，我们公司就完蛋了。如果被老师发现, 我们就完蛋了。这里完蛋的意思是，be finished，be screwed。
还有一个词是“零蛋”。例如：这次考试，他考了个零蛋。意思是他考了0分，因为数字0很像一个蛋。有些家长为了吉利，会在孩子考试那天的早餐给孩子准备一根油条，两个鸡蛋，因为放在一起很像100分。
最后，Don't put all your eggs in one basket，你知道中文怎么说吗？“不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”，也可以说“不要孤注一掷。”
你还知道什么和蛋有关的词？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

こんにちは！
Japanese daily life podcast のAtsushiです。
このPodcastは、日本語を勉強しているみなさんに向けたPodcastです。

最近ずっと文法シリーズでしてますが、今回は旅行の話をします。

今週、僕の母と姉が北海道に来ました。
カジュアルにいうと、お母さんとおねえちゃんですね。

それで、妻も休みを取ってくれたので、4人で旅行をしました。

その話をします。
今回は北海道らしさを楽しむ、ということで、富良野へ行きました。

人によって、北海道のイメージは違いますが、日本人は富良野の方の壮大な景色をイメージする人が多いかもしれません。

それはきっと過去の旅行会社による北海道旅行のイメージ戦略だとは思いますが、見事に日本人の記憶に焼きついていると思います。

それはさておき、千歳から車で富良野へ行ってきました。
ちょうどラベンダーシーズンなので、行きました。

千歳からは車で2時間ちょっとで富良野に着きます。
ここは広大なラベンダー畑があります。
6月の下旬に行きましたが、少し早かった感じでした。
あと2週間後ぐらいがちょうど良いかもしれません。
それでも一面が紫色に染まったラベンダー畑はとてもきれいでした！

それから、ラベンダーソフトクリームがあります。
甘さひかえめで、花のような香りを感じます。


隣には
とみたメロンハウス

があります。
ここはメロンをその場で食べられるので、とても楽しい場所です。めっちゃおいしかったです！

富良野のラベンダーのシーズンは、7月中なようです。
種類によって見頃になるタイミングは違います。

これから北海道旅行の予定がある方、7月なら、ぜひラベンダー畑、行ってみてくださいね！


久しぶりに家族でゆっくり時間を過ごすことができて良かったです。とても良い時間でした。

ということで、今回は終わりです。
最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
