Hello, everyone.
I'm Maria.
And I'm Rory.
And we are the hosts of the IELTS speaking for Success podcast, the podcast that aims to help you develop your speaking skills as well as your listening skills.
Along the way, we started this podcast to give you a look at how a native english speaker would answer some of the most common IELTS speaking questions.
I ask Rory some of these questions, and Rory gives answers using vocabulary and grammar for a high score band.
Nine score.
Today's topic is animals.
Rory, are you ready to talk about animals?
I've been hunting for answers to your questions.
Haha.
It's a joke.
Again, hunting for odds.
Do you like animals?
I love animals, particularly mammals, because they're the closest to us, relatively speaking.
I think they're quite cool.
Rory, what's your favorite animal?
Oh, I'm definitely a dog person.
I really love dogs, just in general, and of course, they're domesticated animals, so you can always keep them quite close to you, and that's really good as well.
What wild animal do you like the most?
