Culture is quite a general topic that could come up in a number of different parts of the IELTS test, so it's useful to be able to talk about it. Today, Nick gives you some ideas for this topic.

Do you think the world is becoming too similar in terms of culture?

Today's episode is about 운동.
Recently I started to go to a pilates class.
It's not so easy but I'm trying to enjoy it for my health!

Do you also workout or play sports?

Do you always say "How are you?" to your English teacher and English speaking friends?

Fish 

Ysidore, le fier
Ysidore, le coq, se prend pour le roi ! Son cocorico réveille tout le monde ! Pendant la journée, il se promène d’un air fier et surveille les poules.
- Poule grise, fais ceci ; poule blanche, ne fait pas cela ! Il donne des ordres sans cesse.
Un jour, toutes les poules ont décidé de se cacher dans la niche du chien.
Ysidore les a cherchées partout. Plus de poules à commander, que faire ?
Alors il a donné un coup de bec à Grognon, le chat, qui dormait au soleil.
- Lève-toi, gros paresseux, dit-il !
Grognon s’est dressé et, d’un coup de patte, lui a arraché la queue !
Honteux, Ysidore s’est caché dans un coin. Depuis, les poules se promènent sans crainte dans la cour de la ferme.

안녕하세요! 
제 메시지의 노래버전입니다.
"This is the sung version of my original message."

https://youtube.com/shorts/zfAkGLpfgxg?feature=share

어젯밤에도 잠을 설쳤죠.
오늘은 조금 괜찮을까 했는데,
아침부터 일이 꼬이기만 했어요.
그런 날,
우리 모두 있잖아요.
하지만 잊지 마세요.
그런 날에도
당신은 멈추지 않았다는 걸요.
넘어져도,
힘들어도,
다시 일어나 한 걸음씩 나아갔잖아요.
그건 정말 대단한 거예요.
오늘의 당신은 충분히 멋졌습니다.
그리고 내일은 더 빛날 거예요.
잠시 쉬어도 괜찮아요.
당신은 그럴 자격이 있으니까요.
오늘도 수고한 당신,
충분히 잘하고 있어요.

You had trouble sleeping last night again, didn’t you?
You thought today might be better,
but things have been going wrong since morning.
We all have days like that, don’t we?
But don’t forget,
even on days like that,
you didn’t stop moving forward.
Even when you stumbled,
even when it was tough,
you got back up and took one step at a time.
That’s truly amazing.
You were incredible today.
And tomorrow, you’ll shine even brighter.
It’s okay to take a break.
You deserve it.
To you, who worked so hard today,
you’re doing great.

한국어 듣기 - The sung version - 한국어로 위로받아요. Find comfort in Korean

LINDA: Hey! How did your physics exam go?
FRANK: Not bad, thanks. I’m just glad it’s over! How about you …
how’d your presentation go?
LINDA: Oh, it went really well. Thanks for helping me with it!
FRANK: No problem. So … do you feel like studying tomorrow for 
our math exam?
LINDA: Yeah, sure! Come over around 10:00, after breakfast.
FRANK: All right. I’ll bring my notes.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• Hey! is a friendly expression meaning “hello.”
• How did your physics exam go? is a way of saying “How was your physics exam?”
• I’m just glad … Notice the stress on “glad.” “Just” is used for emphasis before an 
adjective here.
• How about you … Notice the intonation falls here because the speaker is going to 
follow it up with a detailed question.
• How’d your presentation … Notice the contraction for “How did” sounds like /howdj/ 
and “your” sounds like /yer/.
• Do you feel like here has the meaning of “do you want to.” Notice “do you feel like” is 
followed by an “-ing” verb (studying).
• Come over here has the meaning of “come to my house.”
• Notes Students take notes about what the teacher says during a lecture
