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.”

〈#6〉　食べたら酔いそうな食べ物はな〜んだ？

🏋️‍♀️ Diálogo: Primera Vez en el Gimnasio 🏋️‍♂️

Instructor (Carlos): ¡Hola! Bienvenido al gimnasio. ¿Es tu primera vez aquí?

Sergio: ¡Hola! Sí, nunca antes he ido a un gimnasio y no sé por dónde empezar.

Carlos: No te preocupes, estoy aquí para ayudarte. Primero, ¿cuál es tu objetivo? ¿Quieres ganar músculo, perder peso o mejorar tu resistencia?

Sergio: Creo que quiero perder peso y mejorar mi condición física.

Carlos: Perfecto. Entonces, combinaremos ejercicios de cardio y fuerza.

Sergio: Suena bien. ¿Por dónde empiezo?

Carlos: Primero, haremos un calentamiento de 10 minutos en la caminadora. Esto ayudará a preparar tus músculos.

Sergio: ¿A qué velocidad debo ir?

Carlos: Empieza caminando a ritmo moderado y luego puedes subir la velocidad poco a poco.

Sergio: Listo. ¿Y después del calentamiento?

Carlos: Haremos un circuito básico con pesas ligeras para que tu cuerpo se acostumbre al entrenamiento.

Sergio: ¡Genial! Pero nunca he usado pesas. ¿Cómo sé cuánto peso levantar?

Carlos: Vamos a empezar con poco peso. Lo importante es la técnica, no levantar demasiado al principio.

Sergio: Tiene sentido. No quiero lastimarme el primer día.

Carlos: Exacto. Y recuerda: siempre mantén la espalda recta y controla el movimiento.

Sergio: ¿Cuántas repeticiones debo hacer?

Carlos: Para empezar, 3 series de 12 repeticiones en cada ejercicio.

Sergio: Suena bien. ¿Y qué hay del cardio?

Carlos: Después de las pesas, haremos 15 minutos en la bicicleta estática o la elíptica.

Sergio: Perfecto. ¿Y qué tan importante es la alimentación?

Carlos: Es clave. Para perder peso, necesitas un balance entre ejercicio y una buena dieta.

Sergio: ¡Gracias, Carlos! Me siento motivado para empezar.

Carlos: ¡Eso es lo más importante! Vamos paso a paso y verás resultados.
