Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into our IELTS Speaking Part 2.
Describe a sports event that you'd like to attend as part of the audience.
You should say what it is, who you want to watch it with, why you want to be part of the audience and explain how you feel about it.
Basically, here you need to talk about a sports event like a football match, a hockey match, tennis that you would like to see live.
So you actually go to the stadium.
You would like to attend as part of the audience.
Audience, like you would watch it live.
You would be part of the crowd.
Rory, give us your story.
Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot.
I think it happens about once every four years in a major city.
Well, cities, I suppose, since there's a summer and a winter Olympics.
And I'm pretty sure they happen in different places.
I think the last ones were in France or various French territories, because they couldn't have surfing in Paris, for example.
I think they needed to have it in a different place.
Anyway, ideally I'd like to go in the summer well, the summer one since it would be a good chance to travel and have a nice time in the sun while seeing a once in a lifetime event like that.
Plus, I already live in a country that is usually cold, so I don't think I'd be missing much of it were the Winter Olympics.
When it comes to who I'd go with, I'm not really sure.
Maybe just by myself or some close friends who are into certain sports.
Then I can kind of live vicariously through their excitement with things, because I'm not a huge sports fan.
That's just one of the reasons I'd like to be in the crowds.
There's also the atmosphere that such an event might generate, as people are cheering on their nation's teams to win at various events.
That must be pretty electrifying.
And like I said, it's something that only happens once in your lifetime.
Even if it's once every four years, it always happens in different places.
And the style and management of the event is always different.
So it's always unique.
Or it seems that way, at least.
I'm not really an expert.
Well, it would be good fun to go and see what happens with the various sports, like diving and running.
If I don't get to go and see it, I would be too upset.
After all, these things are always recorded these days, so it's easy to catch up on what actually happened.
It is fun to dream about what might be, though.
And what about your friends?
Would they like to join in?
I think they'd probably like to go more than I would.

So, dear listener, sports event hmm, Rory has chosen to talk about the Olympics.
So the Olympic Games?
All right, you can talk about a football match.
I think that would be the easiest option right, would you agree?
No, I think the Olympics is the easiest because you can.
Everybody knows about the Olympics, so you could always talk, say something about that yeah, that's true or like your local football match, And you can say that I'd quite like to see how things are at the Olympics.
Or I'd love to see the Olympics one day.
Because the Olympics happen every four years, right?
I think so.
I'm not a big expert in this, but as far as I know, that's what happens.
Yeah.
And we have like summer and winter Olympics.
So the Olympics or the Olympic Games.
And it's a big international sports competition.
I'd love to see different athletes.
So, sportsmen, sportswomen.
We have one word.
Athletes.
A very good word for essays as well when you write about sport.
Athletes.
A-T-H-L-E-T-E-S.
Athletes.
So I'd love to see athletes from around the world go up against each other.
So when people go up against each other, they compete with each other.
Yeah, they have competitions.
They compete in different ways sports, or they go up against each other in various events.
Here we mean competitions events, and you can say that i'd love to see summer olympics or winter olympics, or you can choose like which do you prefer, rory?
Which one would you choose for?
Yeah, the summer, one for sure, because i like the sunshine, the summer.
Okay, And can we name specific sports at Summer Olympics?
Well, I did.
Like running and diving.
But you could also have, oh, I don't know, triathlons, sprints.
What else do they have?
Shooting.
Archery, maybe.
I think fencing is one.
And judo.
Okay.
Yeah, basketball.
Weightlifting, cycling.
Oh, football.
Football?
Huh?
No.
Football is in the Summer Olympics?
Are you joking?
I think so.
Is it?
Yeah, it is.
So, dear listener, pick up something interesting, like fencing, for example.
You know, fencing is the sport when they have these kind of swords, but they are called sabres.
Fencing sabres.
You know, like, you should Google it. picture okay fencing yeah or like a shooting sailing athletics all right or gymnastics judo karate cycling okay wrestling diving rory mentioned that or triathlon or triathlon is really interesting very what do they do in triathlon it's just rough swimming cycling and running it's crazy triathlon I don't know much about triathlons.
It looks crazy though.
So I'd like to go there in summer.
I'd like to see the Summer Olympics.
So it would be a good chance to travel to some place.
So it would be nice.
It would be I'd like to go.
And I'm sure I'll have a nice time in the sun while seeing a once-in-a-lifetime event.
So the Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime event.
So it's an amazing event.
It happens, well, every four years.
But it's spectacular.
It's exciting.
So it's a kind of once-in-a-lifetime event.
If, for example, you get married, you graduate from university.
So it's a once-in-a-lifetime event for you.
Unique.
Or if you talk about I don't know, going to a football match or going to a hockey match, you can say that oh, I'd like to visit the finals or the World Cup Football, World Cup.
So it would be a once-in-a-lifetime event for me.
I would not like that.
I think that's the most boring thing in the world.
Well, the Football World Cup?
Yeah, I just cannot get into that.
Yeah, but it's not about football.
It's about, come on, it's about football fans and how they socialize, you know, about the vibe.
It's not just about watching the match. eczema isn't always obvious but it's real and so is the relief from epglyphs after an initial dosing phase about four in ten people taking epglyphs achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks and most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing epglyphs libricizumab lbkz a 250 milligram per two milliliter injection is a prescription medicine and used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema.
Also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies.
EBCLS can be used with or without topical corticosteroids.
Don't use if you're allergic to EBCLS.
Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe.
Eye problems can occur.
Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems.
You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Epglys.
Before starting Epglys, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection.
Searching for real relief?
Ask your doctor about Epglys and visit epglys.lily.com or call 1-800-LILY-RX or 1-800-545-5979.
The good news is, though, it takes place every four years, like the Olympics.
So a lot of the things that I talk about there could probably be used for talking about the World Cup too.
Have you ever been to a stadium?
Have you ever watched a football match?
Like a proper football match with famous players?
I have, yes, and it was boring.
So you didn't enjoy the energy from the crowds on the stadium, how they sing, how they support their team and how they shout these special songs to support their team.
Because the energy is amazing.
Well, it is.
You could say it's electrifying, which is how I described the atmosphere at the Olympics.
Or what it must be like, because I have never been.
Yeah, the atmosphere is electrifying.
It's like, whoa, all this energy.
When you move to a different topic, you can say.
When it comes to who I'd go with, I'm not really sure.
Maybe just by myself.
Maybe I'd go there alone.
Or maybe I'd go there with some friends. close friends.
And then Vory used vicariously.
That's gotta be a C2 level word, surely.
It doesn't say vicariously, but it's a nice one.
Yeah, it's kind of in a vicarious way.
We experience something through the activities of other people.
So, like, some parents live vicariously through their children.
So they see, experience certain experiences They should be a C2 level word.
Or, for example, like, some people like to live vicariously through actors.
So kind of through actors' eyes.
Yeah, that means they can experience the thrill without any of the danger.
I'd like to be in the crowd to experience the event, to experience electric atmosphere, to experience, to enjoy the vibe the vibes you know of the event.
I'd like to cheer for my team, to support my team.
I'd like to see people who are cheering for their nation's team.
And that's pretty electrifying.
Yeah, all the energy.
Or it might be.
Or must be electrifying.
Logical deduction.
Because I have no idea what it's like. it would be fun to go there.
So here we always use like would be, could be, I could, I would, it'd be, electrifying.
But if I don't get to go, I won't be too upset.
Yeah, like a conditional sentence, it's real.
So if I don't, I won't be too upset.
It's not a big deal.
Yeah, it's not a big deal.
So things are recorded anyway, so you can just catch up on what actually happens on TV.
So I'll catch up on what happened there right, dear listener.
And make sure you choose a sports event that you can talk about.
And we do use some sports vocabulary.
So a specific sport like fencing or athletes yeah, competitions.
What other sports vocabulary have you used?
Well, I said, it's easy to catch up on what happens, but if you're in a race, then you could watch other people catch up with others.
That might be quite fun.
I mentioned specific sports like diving and running.
Maybe triathlon would have been better or sprint.
Then talking about summer and winter Olympics or specific sports events.
And of course, they're both international sports competitions, which is definitely a collocation.
Yeah, and you can say like it's a spectator sport.
Spectator, like spectators are visitors, right?
So if I go to watch a football match, I'm a spectator, right?
Or I go to a stadium, I'd like to go to a stadium, right?
To enjoy the energy of the crowd or football fans or just fans.
And some competitions.
I'd like to watch how athletes compete for a prize right, or how they go at each other, how they are awarded medals.
Yeah, that would be enough.
So if I were you, dear listener, I'd talk about the football match, or the football World Cup, or the Olympics.
Yeah, the Olympics, I think, yeah, this is your idea now.
Thank you very much for listening.
We'll get back to you in our next episode about sports in general, okay?

Describe a sports event that you'd like to attend as part of the audience.
You should say what it is, who you want to watch it with, why you want to be part of the audience and explain how you feel about it.
I'm quite like to see how things are at the Olympics firsthand if I could.
It's this big international sports competition where different athletes from around the world go up against each other in various events.
I think it happens about once every four years in a major city.
Well, cities, I suppose, since there's a summer and a winter Olympics.
And I'm pretty sure they happen in different places.
I think the last ones were in France or various French territories, because they couldn't have surfing in Paris, for example.
I think they needed to have it in a different place.
Anyway, ideally I'd like to go in the summer well, the summer one since it would be a good chance to travel and have a nice time in the sun while seeing a once-in-a-lifetime event like that.
Plus, I already live in a country that is usually cold, so I don't think I'd be missing much about the Winter Olympics.
When it comes to who I'd go with, I'm not really sure.
Maybe just by myself or some close friends who are into certain sports.
Then I can kind of live vicariously through their excitement with things, because I'm not a huge sports fan.
That's just one of the reasons I'd like to be in the crowds.
There's also the atmosphere that such an event might generate, as people are cheering on their nation's teams to win at various events.

It is fun to dream about what might be, though.
And what about your friends?
Would they like to join in?
I think they'd probably like to go more than I would.
