Hello, lovely, and welcome into IELTS speaking part two.
Describe a science subject, biology or robotics that you are interested in.
You should say what the subject is, how you became interested in it, when and where you learned about it, and explain why you are interested in this area.
rory here is a super expert on science rory give us your story i've actually taken a real interest in physiology lately that's the study of how living systems like the human body work usually it's only doctors or other medical professionals that deal with things like this but i saw a few books being
recommended on instagram last year and this influencer was going on about how they could be really helpful to read for understanding how the body works so i picked them up and i've been hooked on it ever since actually i always think it's a good idea to read about different things and so i try and balance
my fiction and non -fiction reading so this came quite naturally to me it was also helped along by the fact that i've been doing a lot of yoga and other kinds of exercise of late so i thought it would be useful to help build up my knowledge in that area to, well, just to support my understanding of how
things can or should work.
I suppose it's also nice to just know things.
It's also nice to just know things as well.
Actually, now I think about it, I remember reading about how knowing facts is a great foundation for skill building.
So it also makes sense from that perspective.
Anyway, when it comes to the where and when of it all, I usually get some input when I go to my yoga classes.
The teachers there are reasonably well -informed and do a good job of explaining how different things work and move.
I also get a lot from videos online.
There's this genre of content on YouTube that gets called science -based fitness, or bro science, if you aren't a great fan of it.
And I pick up a lot from there.
No, I think I have to be a bit more discerning with the online content because of all the misinformation these days.
Lastly, like I said, I bought a few books on the matter as well, and I've been plowing through them in a bid to understand a bit more about how things should go together.
I'm not sure what piqued my interest in particular, I suppose it's the confluence of things.
Everyone wants to be healthier these days, and I'm quite into exercise and fitness, and I love knowing and learning about things.
So it all just came together quite nicely.
If I hadn't made the effort to earn about it, I think I'd be a lot worse off.
And what about your friends?
Do they enjoy this subject?
We've discussed it briefly, but I don't know if they enjoy it a great deal.
My dad works in B2B marketing.
He came by my school for career day and said he was a big ROAS man.
Then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend.
My friend's still laughing me to this day.

See you soon. hey thank you rory for your story right dear listener a science subject so if you're not into science well welcome to my club you should steal rory's answer or well choose a science subject that you are like more or less interested in and lie or choose a subject that you just like it's
easy for you to talk about and science subject we mean like biology, chemistry, what else?
Astronomy, mathematics, geometry, right?
No, geology, anything really, anyology.
Rory told us about physiology.
Whoa, so cool. And physiology is the scientific study of the way in which the bodies of living things work.
So how our body works and bodies in general or is about like animals and people like any bodies well you have i suppose you have physiology in general and you have uh like human physiology which would be about people so i mean things i read about were mostly about human physiology although it's interesting
because a lot of the stuff connected to medicines and things is also based on how medicines interact with rodents because we use rats in scientific testing so that also it's also like studying animal biology as well or animal physiology so you can start off with i've actually taken a real interest in so i
have taken a real interest in maths mathematics or astronomy me well i've become really interested in blah blah blah and then rory explains what it is because rory thinks that the examiner is stupid and he doesn't know what physiology is so he goes oh you know examiner it's this uh the study of how
living systems like the human body work i'm gonna tell you about biology and biology you know it's a science well you can do it why not if you pick a strange subject.
I saw a few books being recommended on Instagram.
So, Rory saw some books on Instagram.
So, people recommended some books on physiology.
And we say books on biology, books on robotics.
And some people recommended these books.
So, he took a real interest in them or you can say that i saw it from an influencer okay this person who is super popular a blogger and you can say that these books are really helpful for understanding how the body works or you can say like this science is helpful to understand how the world works like
physics or mathematics or how i know our um how our universe works so i picked them up i chose them i chose the books on physiology or i um i picked this subject i chose this subject and i've been hooked on it ever since so you become interested in the subject you become like you know addicted like
oh i want to learn more so i've been hooked on this subject ever since also present perfect or i've become hooked on the subject or i've been interested in it ever since yeah or i got hooked on the subject right or i got really into it i got really into it I try and balance my fiction and non -fiction reading.
Because when you read books on different science subjects, it's non -fiction.
And when I read a novel by Dickens, it's fiction.
So a nice phrase is I try and balance my fiction and non -fiction reading.
Although ironically, I am now reading two non -fiction books.
I don't know how that happened.
You can also say that I've been doing yoga or I've been doing maths tasks, for example, present perfect continuous.
I've been watching the stars and I got hooked on astrology, astronomy, astronomy.
Astronomy is the science, right?
Yes. and astrology is well i suppose a belief system is the best way to think about it we can't say that some people are really attached to astrology no no no i'm joking i'm joking so i wanted to build my knowledge in that area okay so build my knowledge to get more knowledge in that subject or in that area.
And this knowledge supports my understanding of how things work.
So, if you read, I don't know, books on physics, this knowledge supports my understanding of how things work in the real world or how our life works.
A very good structure is when you say I remember reading about something.
So, I remember and then ING.
I remember seeing something.
I remember watching this film on biology.
Or I remember reading about ta -ta -ta at school, for example.
So, you read about it in the past, and now you remember it.
When you turn to the next topic, you can say, anyway, when it comes to ta -ta -ta, for example, the card tells you to say when and where you learned about it, about this subject, so you say, anyway, when it comes to where and when, or when it comes to the where and when of it all, right, or I can say
that, anyway when it comes to where and when i learned about the subject it was 10 years ago at university yeah is it okay yes just like a simple version the listener for you or band 9 version is when it comes to the where and when of it all so of this interest of my story i got some input input on biology
when i was at school so input when you hear some lectures when you listen to i know some videos so you get input or you read articles on this area since you're new to h &r block we'll look at your returns from the last three years for any money your last guy might have missed for free i could get money
back from last year you could we'll find any mistakes could have really used that two years ago when i dated that mistake for five months don't leave money on the table switch to h &r block and get a free second look review second look is included at no additional cost with the purchase of tax preparation results
vary all tax situations are different fees apply if you have us file an amended return the teachers were well informed so they were knowledgeable and they did a great job Also, you can say, like, I get a lot from videos online.
I get a lot from YouTube, from IELTS Speaking for Success podcast.
And also from scientific articles, dear listener.
So also this genre of content.
You can paraphrase it like this area, this subject, or this genre of content.
So it's nonfiction.
It's scientific. So this genre of content on YouTube.
So we have science -based videos.
Or science -based fitness advice.
Rory told us about physiology.
So it's pretty much like a science -based fitness advice.
Or, what is it, bro science?
Yeah, well, the content on YouTube gets called both of these things.
So people who are big fans call it science -based fitness.
And other people call it bro science.
Wow, bro science. Yeah.
There's like a whole, I suppose, category of content creators that do things around that talk about them in their episodes, if they have a podcast or they talk about them in their videos.
Dictionary .com says it's slang, bro science.
About bodybuilding, which is not backed by science.
It's kind of bro, you know, like bro, hey, dude.
Well, I think they also get a lot of negative commentary because some people have a very simplistic approach to how you should, I suppose, go about being fit.
But, you know, as long as you're not believing absolutely everything and you're being careful with what you watch and see, then it's not so bad.
Which is why it's important to be discerning.
Right, discerning, a formal word which means that you show good judgment, especially about style and quality.
For example, a discerning customer.
So when you buy things, you are sensible, you choose things very carefully, not just getting everything that you see.
And Rory has become more discerning with the online content.
So Rory doesn't believe everything they tell him.
Okay, a very good approach with YouTube videos.
Well done, Rory. Band 9.
Thank you. Yay! A Band 9 critical thinker.
So you can say that I've become more discerning with this online content because of all the misinformation these days.
So we have a lot of misinformation.
People tell you things and they are not true, all right?
Not facts. So yeah, lots of misinformation.
It could be open to misinterpretation.
I think some people say things, but they haven't quite understood what they said or what they've read.
So you can say that I've bought some books on robotics, on biology.
Even if you didn't buy any books, dear listener, just tell the examiner that you bought books.
And you can say, I bought a few books or I've bought a few books on the matter, on this area, on this subject.
and I've been plowing through them there you go them there you go you plow through books a super friends of verb which means well to read them at quite a speed so to read something very fast and in depth yeah plow through something when you finish reading eating dealing with something with difficulty
it also means like it's difficult so you you have bought some books on biology and they are quite difficult so i've been plowing through these books okay or i had to write 10 essays ielts essays oh it's a difficult job so i've been plowing through the essays or my dissertation or my course paper i'm
not sure what piqued my interest a french word is it peak not a peak like a peak on the mountain but it's spelled p -i -q -u -u -e dear listener it's very complicated spelling that's why we know it's french yeah and um um, pique.
Now, is it peek or pick?
Well, I say peaked.
With a long E. Yeah, you could say picked my interest as well, to be honest with you.
I don't think it makes a difference because it's going to be clear from the phrase that you're talking about something that made you curious or interested in something.
Because as a verb, you say like, it picked my interest.
P -I -Q -U -E. excited or caused interest for example robotics picked my interest in school super band nine so I'm uh into exercise and I'm into this area of science let's have a little quiz about some of the vocabulary and grammar so Maria are you ready I'm ready okay an easy one to begin with What was the word
that I used to describe a science subject that studies or focuses on higher systems in the human body orc?
Physiology. Yes, well, human physiology, but you could say that, yes.
And then, what's a phrasal verb to mean that you have a deep and ongoing interest in something?
It can be similar to addiction.
I have been hooked on something.
Oh, yes, well done.
And then, what was the phrase that I used to introduce the part where I talked about where and when I learned something?
When it comes to the where and when of it all.
I... Perfect. For our next one, this is used to describe reading things very quickly and in a great amount.
I plow through books on physiology Fantastic And for our very last one This is a word that is used to describe When we use our critical thinking To determine what is true and what is not This word is confluence of things?
No confluence is that when things come together You should be saying discerning If you are discerning with your content You are using your critical thinking.
You are processing the information.
You're not just accepting it.
Yeah, I'm a discerning student.
Hey, thank you very much for listening.
Choose your science subject to listen up.
And we'll see you in our next episode.
Okay, bye. About science in general.
Bye. Um, I think I just won my taxes.
Yeah? I just switched to H &R Block in about one minute.
All I had to do was drag and drop last year's return into H &R Block and bam, my information is automatically there.
So I don't have to go digging around for all my old papers to switch?
Nope. Sounds like we just leveled up our tax game.
Switching to H &R Block is easy.
Just drag and drop your last return.
It's better with Block.
Describe a science subject, biology or robotics that you are interested in.
You should say what the subject is, how you became interested in it, when and where you learned about it, and explain why you are interested in this area.
I've actually taken a real interest in physiology lately That's the study of how living systems like the human body work Usually it's only doctors or other medical professionals that deal with things like this But I saw a few books being recommended on Instagram last year And this influencer was going
