hello hello dear listener and welcome into ielts speaking part three we are talking about growth and change in personal and professional life about studying and schools what would parents prepare when their children go to school on the first day Well, ideally they'll have prepared their children for the experience.
If we talk about physical things, then making sure the school bag is all packed and ready, and, well, if they take one, or if their children take one, having a packed lunch or a lunchbox on hand is also a good idea so they don't go hungry.
Or, well, having money to pay for lunch if they're eating at the school as well and you have to pay.
How do children socialize with each other?
does anyone socialize with anybody?
They play together, share jokes and stories and anything else people do together.
I suppose it's all about finding out what you have in common so you can keep doing the things that interest you or talk about them.
Is socialization important for children?
Oh, definitely. I think there was a case where kids deprived of physical touch and opportunities to run around and meet people, well, they died or had pretty dismal health outcomes.
And that makes sense for a variety of reasons, since they're not exposed to various things that can strengthen their immune systems by hormesis, or get the neurotransmitters flowing that contribute to positive feelings, or they miss out on the chance to learn various social norms and conventions.
It's also just nice to have friends and meet people, at least I think so.
What are the advantages and disadvantages that come along with changing jobs?
Well, you need to get to grips with a whole new work environment and the policies that come with that, which there's no escaping, sadly.
But you get the chance to meet people and make new friends, which is nice for the reasons that we talked about earlier when we talked about young people.
Are big companies better than small companies?
I have no idea, really.
Really, I mean, from a certain perspective, big businesses are relatively more stable and have more opportunities for progression and development and possibly allow for larger salaries just because they're likely to generate more income in general.
However, they might also be awash with complex policies and operations and a whole array of social arrangements which people could struggle to handle.
A smaller company has none of those problems, but it probably has fewer opportunities too because it's confined to a smaller space.
So it likely depends on the sort of person you are and how able you are to handle these things rather than the company itself.
What are the reasons for job change?
As many as there are people, frankly.
I think the most common ones are, or at least seem to be, things like getting a higher salary or more opportunities in new places.
but it could also be about disliking the work environment or actually wanting fewer responsibilities for less stress.

See you soon. All right, dear listener, so here the examiner could ask you questions about school, the first day at school, and also about jobs, changing jobs, socialization, communication with other people.
We say on the first day at school.
And parents should prepare their children for their first day at school.
And if we talk about physical things, like physical objects, parents should make sure that their children have a school bag it is packed so parents pack children's school bag they get their children ready for school and usually parents give them a packed lunch or a lunch box so a lunch box and inside there is food like a sandwich an apple or something like chocolate.
And also, they could prepare clothes.
Well, they do prepare clothes for the children to wear.
Well, I hope so. Unless the children do that themselves, then there are some very responsible young people.
Five -year -olds, come on.
Parents get the uniform ready or school clothes ready.
And also, they can praise their children.
They can prepare them emotionally, like give Give emotional support to the children.
Like encourage them, say that everything is going to be fine, you are the best. Oh, I never thought about the emotional side.
So there could be the physical side and the emotional one, yeah.
Children socialize with each other or they communicate with each other.
They interact with each other.
So they talk, they meet, so they play together, they share jokes.
jokes they tell jokes to each other they tell stories or they share stories and they do things together they find out what they have in common what similar things they have socialization is important so if you can't pronounce this word socialization interaction or communication Communication, you can say.
Like socialization.
Because the verb is to socialize.
To talk, to communicate, to interact with people.
Here, Rory gave us an example when children were deprived of socialization.
So, they didn't have any interaction with others.
They didn't have any physical touch and opportunities to meet people.
So, you can answer this question like, If children don't have any socialization, what will happen?
Well, they might die.
I hate to talk about that, it's very sad.
But I think that's what the ultimate outcome of the situation was.
Really? Oh, wow. So when little kids were deprived of socialization, this had pretty dismal health outcomes.
So dismal, like really bad.
Very negative, very sad.
So we can say that socialization is vitally important for children, like super important.
Their life depends on socialization with different people, with their parents, with close people.
and children are exposed to various things that strengthen their immune system so children kind of they have various things they see they touch the experience different things and these things make the immune system stronger strengthen to make something stronger means to strengthen something.
Children's immune system.
Well, our immune system protects us from different viruses and you can say that socialization is important for children's immune system and, Rory, immune system is C2.
How is immune system C2?
That doesn't make sense.
I don't know. I don't know.
It does. So, all the cells in our body that protect us from infections and diseases.
And we say that socialization contributes to positive feelings.
So, it adds to positive feelings of happiness, excitement, and it's just nice for children to have friends and meet people and talk to them.
Now some questions could be about jobs and about changing jobs.
You never talked about my other piece of specialist vocabulary.
I was very sad about that.
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what, what, what, what?
We talked about the immune system via hormesis.
Oh, what's that? So in a nutshell, and I'm simplifying this.
So if you are a doctor or a healthcare professional, I apologize in advance.
hormones hormesis is the process by which we expose ourselves to small amounts of something harmful in order to have a beneficial effect later on so it's like you expose yourself to dirt and bacteria and this activates your immune system and then your immune system is more prepared to deal with this when a serious problem arises and if you have worked with children you know that they are filthy and therefore there's much to be exposed to if you are socializing with them And your immune system becomes very strong when you are a teacher.
Wow. And do you know how I learned that?
How did you learn? So in the pandemic, people talked about how if you stop people from interacting with each other, this phenomenon will not happen.
But there was a doctor talking about it and he was like, that's like saying in order to protect yourself from radiation, you have to throw yourself into a nuclear reactor.
It doesn't work that way.
It's small amounts here.
It's not just like exposing yourself willy -nilly to absolutely everything.
It's got to be controlled low amounts in order for the immune system to function.
And I have no idea why, but that has stuck with me.
And so when I heard the question, I was like, ooh, this is a good chance to use that word and talk about that thing.
It's like we treat allergies by exposing ourselves to these little things we are allergic to.
So the disadvantages of changing jobs could be a new environment.
You need to get to grips with a new environment.
When you get to grips with something, you understand, deal with this.
For example, I need to get to grips with this problem.
I need to understand it and deal with it.
Get to grips with something is C2.
Look at all the C2 vocabulary that's being thrown around for free.
Yeah, so C2, Ben 9.
And when a person changes their job, they need to get to grips with a new work environment.
And they need to learn new policies.
meet new people make new friends and that's well could be a disadvantage yeah but Rory you never mentioned any advantages oh no no advantages yeah get the chance to meet people and make new friends yeah I was gonna say don't gaslight me please I did say something positive large companies or Or small companies, like large corporations or small businesses?
And Rory says like, well, I have no idea, really.
Like, I don't know.
And then he gives the answer from a certain perspective.
Like, on the one hand, large businesses are more stable.
They have more opportunities for progression, for progress and development.
So they develop more and are more stable.
well maybe i don't know i'm not like a business professional so i don't know so much about this which is why i started with saying i have no idea really and then i went into guessing uh which is why i said from a certain perspective meaning my own limited perspective here but large companies Companies could be awash with complex policies.
To be awash with. But that just means to have a lot of.
And people could struggle to handle so many arrangements and so many problems in a large company.
But a smaller company has fewer problems because it's just small.
Yeah, if we have social, like, different social arrangements, In a large company, we socialize with directors, with our colleagues, with other people, with all sorts of people.
So we talk about hierarchy.
Directors, senior managers, usual managers, low -level managers.
But it could also be used to talk about personal relationships.
There are many reasons why people change jobs.
verbs. And you can say that, frankly, there are so many reasons.
Again, like an adverb.
Frankly, unfortunately, fortunately, to be honest with you.
So, you can kind of like, to be frank, like to be honest or frankly.
You can use it at the end of the sentence, dear listener.
So, you can say, well, there are so many reasons, frankly, and the most common reasons, reasons, the most kind of popular reasons, but we don't say popular.
We say common is getting a higher salary.
So a higher salary could be the main reason and there are more opportunities in new places, more opportunities for development, for promotion.
Promotion when a person gets a better position and a person may not like the work environment.
environment, the work environment, so kind of the atmosphere that you have at work, and a person might want fewer responsibilities.
So not so many responsibilities.
Look at me using fewer.
Yeah, I was about to ask you, Rory, like why do you think some people don't remember their first day at school, like me?
That's a good question.
I imagine because it was a long time ago and so So you just prioritise other things in your head.
And also, people have different kinds of memories and ways of prioritising information.
So that's also possible.
But I'm not a psychologist and I don't know much about the function of memory.
So that's just a guess.
But it's based on my own experience of dealing with people with different kinds of memory issues.
Yeah, I've asked Google why don't people remember their first day at school and Google says that many people have difficulty recalling specific details or events, recalling like remembering, from the first day of school, particularly when it was a long time ago, because of the developmental stage of the brain during early childhood.
When we are kids, we have this developmental stage of our brain.
The emotional and stressful nature of such experiences.
And the typical memory consolidation process.
So we have immature brain, dear listener, when we are five years old.
Oh, I thought you meant in general.
role our brain is immature immature and like memory consolidation requires time and effort so like to transfer our memories from short -term to long -term memory is still developing that's why kind of our memories may not be transferred to our long -term storage quickly and also our Our emotions interfere in our memory processes when we are five years old, okay?
Look at all this learning happening.
Yeah, and then as time passes, memories tend to fade.
So, our memories tend to disappear from early childhood.
Yeah, because we can't remember everything because it's just like we are getting old.
And that's it, dear listener.
thank you very much for listening hopefully your memory is fine and now your brain is mature and you will remember our vocabulary and ways to talk about change at work and our first days at school and everything else that we talked about yeah or at least like you'll remember like two or three words that's already good get to grips with for example the immune system is C2 bye bye This episode is brought to you by Greenlight.
Get this. Adults with financial literacy skills have 82 % more wealth than those who don't.
From swimming lessons to piano classes, us parents invest in so many things to enrich our kids' lives.
But are we investing in their future financial success?
With Greenlight, you can teach your kids financial literacy skills like earning, saving, and investing.

Start prioritizing their financial education and future today What would parents prepare when their children go to school on the first day?
Well, ideally, they'll have prepared their children for the experience.
If we talk about physical things, then making sure the school bag is all packed and ready.
And, well, if they take one, or if their children take one, having a packed lunch or a lunchbox on hand is also a good idea so they don't go hungry.
Or, well, having money to pay for lunch if they're eating at the school as well and you have to pay.
