Hello lovely, I'm Maria.
And my name is Rory, I'm here at the hosts of the IELTS Speaking for Success podcast.
The podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills, as well as your listening
skills along the way.
We've started this podcast to give you gorgeous grower and fabulous vocabulary for your high

Your pendant score.
Sorry, I haven't had my morning coffee yet.
Well, you should get it, Rory, come on, man up.
Today we're going to be talking about coffee and tea.
Yay!
First my coffee.
Yes, Delisna, on the 16th of March, 2020, we talked about coffee, so make sure you listen
to the first episode about coffee three years ago.
And now it's a comeback.
And speaking about one, they can ask you questions about tea or coffee.
Do you prefer coffee or tea?
Oh God, coffee.
Coffee for days.
Love the rush and the focus that you get from the caffeine, especially with black coffee
in the morning.
How often do you drink coffee or tea?
Well, every day, especially in the morning.
I have it with my protein shake and then whenever I'm out with my friends or my family
and we're shopping in the town, it's nice to stop by a coffee shop like Starbucks, for
example.
Starbucks.
Pay me money.
The most people prefer tea or coffee today.
Oh, I guess.
I'd say coffee.
It seems to proliferated much further and wider than tea.
I mean, you see more coffee shops than tea rooms, for example.
So that's probably a good indication, isn't it?
And there are more coffee flavored products, as opposed to tea flavored products.
At least it seems that way.
I could be wrong.
A coffee and tea popular in your country.
You would imagine so since it seems like there's a coffee shop on every street corner
to be honest with you.
And apart from two of the houses I've been in have had supplies of it in every cupboard
or even a jar on the kitchen counters.
Till now we do have our premium episodes for you where Warren and I are discussing speaking
part one and three using fresh current IELTS speaking topics.
This week on our premium in speaking part two, we are talking about describe a photo that
makes you happy.
After speaking part three, we are talking about photos in general.
The links are in the description.
Do check out our premium.
Okay.
So, coffee or tea?
Coffee or tea is a beverage, Diorisla.
Coffee is my favorite beverage.
What's my favorite drink?
What's the difference between a drink and a beverage?
A beverage is a more formal word, but you can use this beverage.
Oh yeah, that's my favorite beverage.
Which one is my favorite drink?
So yeah.
But usually people say, just I prefer tea, I prefer coffee or this is my favorite drink.
Like champagne is my favorite drink, water with ice is my favorite drink and I prefer latte.
Do you say latte?
I say latte when I need a latte which is always never.
What kind of latte do you have?
So latte is like coffee and milk.
Okay.
Hold on a minute.
So it's cappuccino.
So what's the difference?
The difference is that in latte, tea, yes?
Latte?
Latte.
Yeah.
So kind of like latte is more creamy and we have less coffee in latte and more milk.
But I sometimes I do cappuccinos.
Yeah.
Nice.
Same.
And I also like a chai latte which I think is a kind of tea that comes from India.
I could be wrong.
But there's also matcha which is a replacement for caffeine or caffeinated drinks.
At least again, I think so.
Caffeine, deal listener.
Okay.
I need caffeine in my life, in my everywhere.
So we pronounce it as caffeine and I love the rush and focus you get from caffeine.
So all this rush like what is the rush?
Like when you are in the rush, when you are in a hurry, but coffee gives you this energy.
Yes.
So rush is like a surge of energy then, isn't it?
It can be as well as being in a hurry.
Rory, but I thought tea is in your blood.
What about all this tea culture in Great Britain?
What about all this tea culture in Great Britain?
Where are all the tea rooms?
I only ever go to coffee shops.
So I think coffee is definitely, or it seems to have taken over.
I don't know if that's a fact or not.
Yes, deal listener, I've done some research on the internet, okay?
And one of the articles said that more coffee is sold than tea in the UK.
Can you imagine that?
So tea is becoming outdated.
They say outdated like, like old fashioned.
So even for English people.
Those poor English people, it's a good thing that I'm not English.
So deal listener, if you enjoy coffee, you can say, I can't imagine my life without coffee
or without tea.
Or, for example, I stick with tea.
Like I stick with coffee.
Like I prefer coffee or tea.
Like, oh, I enjoy a nice cup of tea, cup of tea.
If you prefer tea, you can say, for example, I enjoy herbal teas with herbs with different
like plants for the evening or ging jit, ging jian, you know, this spicy fruit.
ging jit, when I'm ill or English breakfast tea is really common.
We have this Earl Grey tea.
Cinnamon tea also in summer, we prefer iced tea or jasmine green tea.
Jasmine, what's this?
You know, what's jasmine?
Isn't jasmine, well, it's a spice from India.
But is jasmine not extremely expensive?
Or am I thinking of saffron?
saffron is expensive.
Yes, saffron is a orange thingy.
Also you can say, I prefer flavoured tea.
So Earl Grey is a type of flavoured tea.
Like we have cherry tea with tea with fruit, spices, berries.
You can say that, oh, sometimes I drink Chinese tea.
Like, for example, u long, u long tea or yellow tea, red tea, white tea, so Chinese tea.
In terms of coffee, you can say espresso, I prefer latte, rice, black coffee, Americano.
How do you say Americano?
Americano.
The lyricalo.
Well, I said black coffee in my answer and I also talked about coffee flavoured products
and tea flavoured products.
So even if you are not totally into your tea or your coffee, you still have some general
vocabulary to talk about.
Well, the subject.
You can also say capucino, yeah, capucino or flette white.
For example, um, or for example frappe.
Frappe?
Frappe is like iced coffee.
Yeah.
Ice coffee, ice coffee.
And you know, my favourite one is a fogato.
What's that?
Have you ever heard this?
A fogato?
I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is.
I've never heard it.
It's a scoop of ice cream and then they pour hot espresso.
And you know, this tastes like ice cream and hot coffee.
Amazing.
A fogato gelistner.
Okay?
Beautiful.
It's like more of a dessert than a beverage than a drink.
Oh, it's like coffee and ice cream.
So a nice dessert.
You can say that you drink coffee every morning or every day.
I have it with my protein shake.
So you have coffee and protein shake together?
Yeah, I mix it together because it's efficient that way.
Some people have it separately though.
I've seen this.
So I get to wake up and I get to fuel up.
So if it fuels me up, it gives me energy, right?
Yes.
I've fueled up right now because this is my, this is my second coffee of the day.
I'm going to be a lot of fun to be around later.
You can say it's nice to stop by a coffee shop or to stop at a coffee shop to have
a coffee, your favorite latte with coconut milk.
Yes.
You can say I drink coffee regularly or if you don't, you can say, oh, I wish I could drink
coffee but my stomach can't handle too much coffee.
So my stomach is not, coffee is not good for my stomach.
Coffee also is not good for your anxiety either.
So be careful when you drink it or any kind of caffeine to be honest.
Before you can say I drink coffee regularly or I drink tea regularly and also I like this
one.
I'm living on a steady caffeine flow.
So flow is like you're like, flow, flow of coffee.
So I'm living on coffee.
I'm living on caffeine.
People today prefer coffee or tea.
Well you can say, add a guess.
Well, if I were to guess, add a guess.
I'm guessing maybe, right?
I'm taking a wild guess.
Add a guess.
I'd say coffee or I'd say tea.
And actually if you raise about coffee or tea online, you'll see that coffee is the
winner.
But if you're not an expert like me, then you could probably just guess because there's
lots and lots of coffee shops but not many tea rooms.
Coffee shops?
Tea rooms.
And you also said coffee seems to have proliferated.
Or coffee has proliferated.
To proliferate just means that something has increased its numbers dramatically far
and wide.
So usually we talk about nuclear proliferation but I think the proliferation of coffee shops
is much more positive to talk.
Yeah, and that's true.
We do have some tea rooms, especially Chinese tea rooms where you can taste different
Chinese teas but far more coffee shops.
And Rory made a contrast like coffee flavored products, like coffee products, different types
of coffee, as opposed to tea based products, as opposed to coffee shops, as opposed to tea
rooms.
Of course, it's important to finish off my answer by saying at least it seems that way
I could be wrong because I have no idea about these things.
And if you have no idea, you can tell the examiner.
It seems that way.
I could be wrong.
You could use that for a lot of answers actually or answers on different topics at the
very least.
There is a coffee shop on every street corner.
So coffee is of course really popular.
I didn't get it.
You said like you've been to different bars and they have tea.
No, no, it means this word bar is like another way of saying but for and then whatever
you're excluding from your answer.
So if I say every house bar two or barring to it just means every house I've been to
except for two specific ones as these jars or these cupboards where they keep coffee and
tea.
Oh wow.
Could you give us another example with this bar?
I like all books, bar, those switch are made from recycled paper because they smell bad.
I don't.
So it means I don't like the ones made of recycled paper.
Isn't it formal?
Well, yes, but also it was a nice thing to say.
Advariety.
So for example, everyone is leaving the village bar the very old and ill.
So everyone is leaving but the old people stay.
Well, I don't know.
Oh my god, what a controversial example sentence.
Why the why the old and the infirm?
What are you doing with them?
I always can't but you know my dictionary, okay?
It's your people.
Can't but you people.
Robbie, not my people, they're English.
Scott, don't be afraid.
Yes, Scottish people would never say this.
Cheers.
Yeah, let's finish off with what do we say this like fresh coffee beans?
Yeah, it's like beans, the singeys.
Yes, but I'm drinking instant coffee so I should just be quiet.
Instant coffee.
Really?
Oh wow.
Instant coffee, do you listen to you?
Shown and Bob's Young coffee is ready.
So they use coffee beans to make coffee, yeah?
I think so.
I don't know the fine points of it or the fine details but yes, I think you just put
the beans in, do something and then coffee appears magically.
It's magic.
That's what it is.
It's magic.
And then we make tea, yeah?
You can have a tea bag, like a tea bag, bag of tea.
Interestingly, you get a tea spoon but you don't get a coffee spoon.
Why?
Because you have with coffee, wait a second, wait a second, Delis, stay with me.
You know, I said that is a very idle question, like not expecting a serious answer.
But now I'm going to get one.
Yeah, this, this, you have this, you see.
What the heck is that?
It's the wooden thing.
A stirring stick.
Yes, yes, it's a Delis, a tickle, a stir and stick and roll over.
And sometimes they make it out of wood, sometimes out of other material.
So we have a stir.
Right.
Thank you for listening.

Are you a tea person?

What kind of coffee do you prefer?

would you prefer?

We also have our premium episodes for you.

Okay, speak you two and three fresh topics.
Fresh topics and fresh coffee.
Bye.
Do you prefer coffee or tea?
Oh God, coffee.
Coffee for days.
Love the rush and the focus that you get from the caffeine, especially with black
coffee in the morning.
How often do you drink coffee or tea?
Well, every day, especially in the morning.
I have it with my protein shake.
And then when, or whenever I'm out with my friends or my family and we're shopping
in the town, it's nice to stop by a coffee shop like Starbucks, for example.
