Describe an object that you think is beautiful Wow, what a topic!
You should say what it is, where you saw it, what it looks like and explain why you think it beautiful.
Rory here loves beautiful things. And as we know, Rory has beautiful glasses.
Right, Rory? Do I? Yes, tell us about your glasses.
Is it like, what, porcelain? Are you sure that we're talking about glasses here?
Glasses, yes. no crystal i have i have some crystal glasses ah yes if they're porcelain then that would make them teacups so i was like do i have teacups Rory drinks his lovely water from crystal glasses.
Sometimes. However, I'm not going to talk about that today.
Rory, tell us about beauty. Well, actually, I'm going to talk about the Forth Rail Bridge today.
That's a bridge in Scotland. It spans the gulf between both banks of the River Forth, which is close to our capital city in Edinburgh.
I know it's a bit strange to pick a bridge, but It's not an ordinary bridge.
Not only is it a rail bridge, it's actually a sort of symbol for our country because it's got a very unusual shape.
It's got, I think, three or four sections that are shaped like hexagons and they're bright red as well because of the anti-rust paint on them.
So you would think that that makes it stand out and look a bit garish, but actually I think it looks amazing.
It's a real feat of engineering. And obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks so, because it's become a kind of... symbol that's associated with Scotland and Scottish engineering.
You see it on postcards all over the place.
I don't remember when I first saw it, but I definitely see it every time I go over the road bridge on the other side.
Which is a great juxtaposition because you've got this sort of old kind of 19th century style of flamboyant engineering on one side.
And then on the other side, you've got this more modern, very boring looking suspension bridge by comparison.
And of course, whenever I take the train to Edinburgh, I see it from the inside there as well.
When it comes to why I think it's beautiful, like I say, it's sort of a reminder of this kind of bygone era when... people made things like even bridges look beautiful and they would put a lot of effort into the design to make them stand out and make them look good.
In addition to the fact that I think it's actually quite a unique design anyway.
So if... If this thing didn't exist, I think Scotland would be a lot worse off as a result.
We would lack a key national symbol. And I think that's kind of important to have.
And what about your friends? Do they like it?
We definitely commented on it when we were younger, but now it's just kind of part of the scenery.
But it's still a beautiful part. Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. taking EPCLS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks.
And most of those people maintain. We'll be right back.

See you soon! Yay! Thank you, Rory, for your story.
So what's the name of the bridge so people can Google and admire it?
It's called the Fourth Rail Bridge. Forth Rail Bridge.
Forth like fourth, like four. Like a number, but it's actually the name of the river.
It's nothing to do with the number of things.
Yeah, listen, so you go to Google, you go to Google Images and you type FO. rth, so forth, rail, bridge.
And go to Google Images, all right? Oh, and the River Forth, the Forth Bridge.
Yeah, sounds like the first, the second, the third, the fourth, but spelling is different.
Ooh, very nice. Yeah, really unique, guys.
You need to look at it, okay? It's like red.
And the design is truly spectacular. Whoa.
Wow, it's pretty impressive, huh? Most people would pick a small thing, but this is, yeah, it's huge as well.
It's impressive. Yeah, and also like, if you look at the... www.thefourthbridges.org You'll take a look at the photograph with little houses, little nice cottages, you know, like Scottish style, and then this bridge, you know, like...
Like a huge roller coaster or something.
That's what it looks like. It does look like a roller coaster.
It does not feel like one, I should point out.
Yeah, you see, so Rory chose to talk about a bridge, so it's okay.
It could be called an object. all right well it's a piece of infrastructure right it's also a road right but yeah an object why not You can also talk about, well, a beautiful object.
Actually, any object, dear listener, because maybe like, okay, my pen. is beautiful to me.
My pencil, my table, I don't know, something that is easy for you to describe.
Something that you admire. It could be an everyday object or it could be a painting.
I don't know, a piece of jewelry, maybe something from your house decorations, right?
A chair. a building okay but make sure that you can describe it if you pick i don't know a painting or piece of furniture and you can't say anything about it then it's a problem because we talk about the material design how it's made So some specific words.
And when Rory described it, so like what it looks like.
Yeah, so this task in the cue card requires some description.
So Rory told us about its shape. So it has an unusual shape.
And what shapes do we have usually? Oh, triangles, squares.
But this is a hexagon. Or it's got hexagonal shapes.
At least I think so. Diamond. And how do we say it like it has a diamond shape or it's a diamond?
It's diamond in shape. Oh, right, okay. Well, you could say it has a diamond shape or it's got the shape of a diamond.
Or I say it's triangular. Or it's a circle.
Well, it's circular. Circular, okay, okay.
Or it's a square, for example. Well, yes, but that would not be very interesting.
So don't pick something that's shaped like a square.
Yeah, like look at your object, at its shape.
And Google the word that you need. Then color.
It's bright red. So what color? Oh, it's turquoise.
You can change the color and choose any color you want.
And it's much better to use something interesting.
Like, ooh, what interesting colors do we have?
Oh my gosh, bright red, fluorescent yellow.
Ooh, fluorescent. yellow you see even if the object is green just say oh it's fluorescent yellow it's bright yellow Well, if it's green, don't say it's bright yellow.
Say it could be fluorescent green as well, I suppose.
Yeah, but you can say any color. Right.
Just, you know, to sound cool or kind of like it's spring green, you know, navy blue. and this object stands out because it's beautiful it's unique it's unusual so it stands out or for example It stands out because of its unique design.
So stand out, it's noticeable, it's visible.
And you can use inversion here. Inversion is like a question.
So we say, not only is it beautiful, but it's also old.
Or antique. Or ancient. Or a symbol of the country.

So not only is it beautiful, but it's also a symbol of the country.
So it's kind of like a question, like, is it beautiful?
It's also a symbol, right? So we take two sentences.
It's beautiful. It's a symbol of the country.
And then we kind of make a question. Not only is it beautiful but it's also a symbol of the country.
Rory, could you give me an inversion about, for example, some decoration at home that you think is beautiful? a painting or something?
Well, I have a nice painting in my living room which is of the waterfront in Dundee.
So not only is it of that, but it's also done in black and white.
So the contrasting colors bring out the features better.
So not only is it about dandy, not only is it expensive, but it's also one of a kind.
It's also really unique. And Rory called it a real feat of engineering.
So a feat is something difficult needing a lot of skill, strength and courage to achieve it.
For example, the Eiffel Tower is a remarkable feat of engineering.
Oh, and that's a collocation, a feat of engineering.
When it comes to why I think It's beautiful.
I guess it's unique. It's made of organic materials.
I like the shape of it. God, I hope the bridge is not made of organic materials otherwise lots of people are in trouble.
People put a lot of effort into its design.
So people tried hard. People put a lot of effort into the design and it has a unique design.
You can also name the material. Maybe it's made of wood, glass, plastic.
But if it's made of wood, then you can mention some specific wood.
Again, choose something interesting. So maybe like it's made of walnuts.
It's made of oak. Pine. I just had this image in my head of something made of nuts.
Maple wood. Yeah, you need to go to Google Images because we can't explain this.
What is it? Maple. Yeah, walnut, for example.
You know, nuts. Yeah, and for example, this mahogany.
What's mahogany? Mahogany is just a really...
I think that's an expensive kind of wood.
I think it's because it's particularly dense, so it's long-lasting.
Yeah, so you can remember this word, mahogany. a dark red-brown wood used to make furniture.
So, for example, I have a mahogany desk.
This beautiful, you know, red-brown desk.
Ooh la la. So don't just say, you know, oh, it's made of wood.
Mmm, mahogany. And you can Google mahogany, for example, what's table. mahogany table and go to google images look at that beauty nice and you can finish off with if it didn't exist So the second conditional, we are imagining that we don't have it.
So if it didn't exist, I would be... Or if it didn't exist, I'd buy... something like this right roy what do you think what our listener can talk about like when we think of beautiful objects like what objects do we usually think about It could be anything, a piece of jewelry, for example, like an earring or a ring, or it could be something that they have in their home, like a kind of artwork.
For me, I'm very boring, so I had to go further outside.
But you could also describe something like a statue, for example.
Yep. a statue, a piece of furniture, a monument, for example, if you wish.
But we do need specific vocabulary for description so you google the object right or a painting you want to describe yeah or a piece of jewelry or maybe clothes Oh, shoes.
A bag. Oh, Maria would have many things to talk about for this.
Yes, it could be like a photograph. household objects everyday objects it's just like a candle you made yourself like a bottle of perfume but it's just like we need specific vocabulary for this.
So I recommend preparing for this topic.
Write down maybe like six, five words, specific words, shape, color, material, design.
Thank you very much for listening. We'll get back to you in speaking part three, where we talk about beauty and beautiful things.
