Hello, lovely.
I'm Maria, and my name is Rory, and we are 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 started this super podcast because we want you to use high level words and gorgeous grammar in your everyday English and your IELTS speaking exam.
Rory, are you working less now?
No, I'm actually working about the same amount.
Unfortunately, I think it's going to be like this for a while.
Oh, you always slave away.
You need to go out and meet new people.
Oh, it's a coincidence, because today we're going to talk about meeting new people.
Yes, in speaking part one, they can ask you questions about meeting new people.
Rory, do you often meet new people?
Well, actually, contrary to the joke at the beginning, I probably meet new people on a daily basis, or at least I used to because I did placement testing.
So in order to do that, I had to go and meet students and talk to them about English and what they wanted to achieve.
So I actually did that quite regularly.
How do you feel about meeting new people?
Well, it's cool because obviously it's a new experience every time, but it's also quite difficult sometimes because it's hard for me to keep track of people's names.
And the other thing is because of the work that I do, sometimes people know me before I meet them, and then that causes, well, it's like an imbalance in information flow, isn't it?
Because they know everything about you and you don't know anything about them, but on the whole, it's a positive thing.
Of course, you meet new people and make new friends.
Are you able to decide whether you like the person by the first meeting?
