It is set in the "second summer" of 2020, in the famous Argentinian Patagonia, specifically in a town called "Villa La Angostura", a paradisiacal place. 

important locations to guide the listener :
Lago ( Lake ) 
Villa La Angostura ( Place located in the Patagonian Andes )

PATTY: I’m really excited for Aunt Mary’s surprise birthday party
this afternoon! Aren’t you?
SUSAN: Yeah! How old is she?
PATTY:  She’ll be 55 on May 14 [fourteenth].
SUSAN: Wow! I didn’t know that my mom was older — she’s going
to be 57 on September 2 [second]. Anyway, Aunt Mary’s 
going to be so surprised to see us all here!
PATTY: I know! But we still have to get all the food set up before 
she gets here … OK! We’re all ready now. Shh! She’s here!
ALL: Surprise!


LANGUAGE NOTES
• I’m really excited … Notice the emphasis on “really.” “Really” is used to emphasize the 
adjective “excited” here.
• Birthday party Notice that the normal stress for a compound noun falls on the first 
element of the compound.
• Aren’t you? This negative tag is used to show that the speaker expects a positive 
answer. Patty assumes that Susan is also looking forward to the party.
• She’ll be 55 Notice that “55” is stressed here. This detail answers the question “How 
old is she?”
• Fourteenth Notice that we use “th” for ordinal numbers, starting with 4 [but first, 
second and third]. The stress is on the second syllable [fourTEENTH]. Compare this with 
“fortieth: 40th” [FORtieth].
• She’s going to be ... Notice how this is pronounced like “gonna be.” Instead of four 
syllables “go/ing/to/be” there are three syllables “ga/na/be.”

IELTS SPEAKING - The state of mind

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


今日もN3の漢字をやります！
引、をやります！　

音読み　いん
訓読み　ひーく、

意味は、ひく、つれていく、さそう、とかそんな感じです。

例えば、

・引力ーいんりょく　物体どうしが引き合う力

・強引ーごういん　むりに強気ですること

・引率ーいんそつ　たくさんの人を引き連れること

・引用ーいんよう　他の文や例をつかうこと

・引退ーいんたい　現役からしりぞくこと


こんな感じですね。
これを使って例文を作っていきましょう！

・周りが止めることも聞かないで2人は引力のようにお互いにひかれあっている

・かれは人の意見を聞かずにいつも強引に仕事をすすめる

・私の友達は小学校の先生をしているので、遠足の時は40人の生徒を引率しないといけません。

・彼はよく本の言葉を引用する。

・衰えた時か、絶頂の時か、スポーツ選手は引退するタイミングが難しいと思います。

こんな感じです。

今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！
