See you soon.
Hello.
Hello, dear listener, and welcome inter Ielts speaking Part two Describe a person who likes to make things by hand, like toys or furniture.
You should say who this person is, what they make, why they like to make things by hand, and explain how you feel about this person.
Rory, hello.
Hello.
Give us your story.
I'm not sure I know anyone who really enjoys doing things like this as a hobby or something.
I suppose the closest person would be my dad, although it's hard to tell whether he does this for fun or just out of necessity, since, well, sometimes you have to do things in order to get on in life.
Another reason I'm not sure about is that he never made toys or anything fun like that.
It was always practical stuff.
So that makes the motivation less than obvious to tell you more about what he's made and includes a lot of the things around my parents home, from the cabinet to access the fuse box to the shelves in my childhood bedroom.
I'm pretty sure he also built the summer house in the back garden, or at least contributed to that, so there's lots of woodwork and joinery involved.
And to be honest, that continues to this day.
He did a few things in my house as well, which was very nice of him.
I've never really asked him about it, but I imagine he does it because he likes being helpful.
And if you make something that supports other people, then I think that's one of the highest forms of helpfulness, for lack of a better word.
And of course, when I was younger we had fewer options in terms of tradesmen and I think probably money.
