Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into IELTS Speaking Part 3, organizing things in general.
And Maria is talking about organization with me, the king of organization.
I love it. Yeah, Rory is band nine.
I love putting things in order.
Rory is the definition of what a super organization should be like.
do most people prefer to prepare and organize an activity or just take part in an activity well given the stress involved when you have to put things like weddings and parties together it's easy to see why more people attend them than sort them out i mean there's invitations to send out, the actual event to manage and the cleanup after.
Why would anyone want to do that with any regularity?
How do people feel when they are not well prepared for something?
I imagine that comes down to the kind of person that you are or the personality you have.
Some people don't mind just winging it at an event like a speech or a presentation when they know their subject matter inside out.
But other people get so nervous if they aren't ready that they might even be physically sick.
Do people need others' help when organizing things?
I imagine that depends on the scale of the event, no?
If it's a small gathering of four or five people, how much help do you need exactly?
And then if it's something like a wedding reception, though, then you need to do a lot more and might need a helping hand or two.
Does everything need to be well prepared?
head? I suppose that comes down to the expectations people have.
If you're doing a job for people who have quite high expectations of you, then preparation will be fairly important, so you can deliver a good job.
But if it's just something for yourself, you can make a mess of it and you're only answerable to yourself, so it might not matter so much.
On what occasions do people need to be organized?
Well, anytime they want to maximize their success, probably.
In times when you need to get the most out of what you have to work with.
It's useful to plan in advance and get things ready so you don't waste time and resources faffing about.
How can parents help children to be organized?
I always think having a good example and living your values works best.
So if you want people to be organized, you have to be organized yourself.
Otherwise, what's the alternative?
Just telling them won't work.
They need to see it in action and live the experience to get the hang of it.

See you soon! So we take part in an event or activity.
So we participate in something.
and we also prepare and organize this activity.
As a synonym, you can say we put together different activities.
So we put weddings together, we put parties together, we organize them and people attend them.
So people visit these activities.
Another synonym for organize different activities is sort them out so people prefer sorting them out organizing them yeah and people send out invitations they clean up after the events and this could be a hassle like trouble some people are well prepared for something while others are not well prepared they are messy disorganized and you can say that it comes down to the kind of person you are so it depends on your character in a band -8 band -9 way you should say it comes down to the kind of person you are or to a person's personality winging did you say winging rory oh winging it oh winging wing
winging if you're winging it then you don't really have a plan you um do what you uh you don't really prepare you just kind of feel what's right in the moment so kind of like a to wing because a wing is a wing of a plane like birds have two wings but to wing as a verb oh it seems like by 90 yeah so to wing informal to wing it to perform or speak without having prepared what you're going to say or do.
For example, I didn't have time to prepare for the talk, so I just had to wing it, okay?
So just to think on my feet, unprepared.
Oh, you could say that too.
Yeah, could you give us another example with wing it?
I can't because I never wing it.
I'm always prepared.
Yay. I had to wing it with that answer, though, because I wasn't prepared for that question.
Other people get so nervous that they might be physically sick.
So when they're not prepared, they get physically sick.
They're super nervous.
So here, if it's physically sick, then they are actually sick.
They vomit. Let's not dwell on that.
It depends on the scale of the event.
scale like how big the event is.
If it's a small gathering, gathering meaning a party, an event, then you don't need any help.
But if it's something like a wedding reception or a huge party for 400 people, then you need to do a lot more.
And a nice synonym for the verb help is to give a hand or to have a helping hand support yeah like people need a helping hand so people need a hand in organizing a wedding in organizing a wedding right I need a hand at my job I need a hand with my job it could be yeah or someone gave a helping hand I need a hand with my job with my job okay we are giving people a hand with their grammar and vocabulary yay when you want to say it depends on something you can say it comes down to expectations people have like it comes down to something and then a very good strategy is to use if if da da da then
this if blah blah blah then something else and if you are doing you are organizing something for people who have high expectations so to have high expectations to expect a lot from this party you deliver a good job so when you organize everything very well you deliver a good job or so like you complete the job well or you can make a mess of something to be disorganized or mess something up so make a mess of the party people want to maximize their success success with ielts yeah to be successful all the time to be the most successful yeah i can say to my new Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, hey, find

And you need to get the most out of your work.
And we say it's useful to plan in advance and get things ready.
Get the job done. Get things done.
And Rory used my favorite phrasal verb, faff about.
Oh, yes. If you faff about, then you're just messing around, not doing anything important.
Absolutely. Some people prefer just to faff about, but others prefer to get things done.
Yeah, faff about. But not me.
I prefer to get things done.
I don't like to faff about.
Yeah, Rory never faffs about.
I faff about every day.
That's my job. Parents should set a good example so children are organized.
And they live their values.
but if you live your values it just means that you behave in a way that you would if you had these values or if you value these particular things so children need to see it in action so they need to see that you are organized what you do to be organized they need to see it in and they need to see the experience to get the hang of it nice one to get the hang of something to learn how to do it which is an idiom is it does that mean it's c2 it's c2 oh yeah get the hang of something hang learn how to do something especially if it is not obvious or simple so get the hang of it for example you're learning
i don't know um a new program for your work.
So, I've never used this program before.
Don't worry. You'll soon get the hang of it.
Or you'll learn how to dance.
It's difficult for you.
Well, I got the hang of it.
Or like, oh, it's too difficult.
I'll never get the hang of this.
Yes, you will. And now, Rory's quiz time vocabulary Rory show.
Yes, this is the part of the show where I asked Maria some questions about the grammar and vocabulary I used in my answers.
You can play along.
So, Maria, the very first question was about whether most people prefer to prepare an activity or just take part in it.
And for this one, I said you could easily understand the reasons that people had for things.
But I didn't say that.
I said something else.
It's easy to see why people do something Yes So if it's easy to see something It's not talking about seeing with your eyes It could be But here we're talking about it's easy to understand So we are using the verb see in a very metaphorical way Which makes it closer to band nine It's idiomatic Nice Then you asked me a question about how people feel When they are not well prepared And I used the word to describe just doing something with minimal or no preparation.
To wing it. Or to just wing it.
Just wing it. We are not winging this.
Winging. Then, in question three, we talked about people needing help to organize things.
And I said that they might need support.
But I didn't say that.
What did I use to describe the idea of getting support?
People might need a helping hand.
A helping hand or two.
Yeah. Then I was asked if everything needs to be well prepared, and of course it does.
However, that was just for me.
Other people might have different ideas about how a situation should be.
But what do we call these ideas about how a situation should be?
Expectations. Nice.
And you can have good collocations with this.
High expectations Low expectations To set expectations Yeah And we discussed The occasions when people need to be organized And I used Maria's favorite phrasal verb But what was that phrasal verb Maria?
Feff about Yes Mess around Don't do what you're supposed to be doing Our last question Was about how parents can help children be organized And I said that they could do two things to do this but what was one of them set an example set a good example and because you've got all of these correct maria oh i'm a bonus question time but i am extremely lazy with my bonus question today because i gave one example of how parents could help children be organized and you said you did say it but do you remember what the other one was to be organized themselves Oh, no, no, no.
Leave your values. Yes, good save.
Fantastic, Maria. 100%.
Well done. Yeah. And hopefully everyone else got 100 % too.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you very much for listening.
Enjoy your life. Stay with us.
Bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
