Hello, everyone.
I'm Maria, and my name is Rory, and we are the host of the IELTS speaking for Success podcast, a podcast that aims to help you improve your English speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.
Right.
We started this podcast to give you a look at how a native english speaker would answer some of the IELTS speaking questions.
I'll be giving Rory questions, and he'll be answering them using grammar and vocabulary for high school.
Score.
For every episode, we choose some of the most common IELTS speaking topics.
So today's topic is age.
In speaking part one, examiners can ask questions about anything, and age is quite a common topic anyway, so let's discuss it.
Yes, that could be very strange to get questions about age.
So, Rory, are you ready?
I was born ready.
Excellent.
Okay, so my first question is, are you happy to be the age you are now?
Yes, I'm quite content with how old I am.
I thought I wouldn't be, but everything seems to be working out rather well.
When you were a child, did you think a lot about your future?
I didn't speculate about technology.
I think most people speculate about this kind of thing, but I prefer to think about the kind of job I would have instead, and I focused a lot on that.
Do people change as they grow older?
