Episode 11- Speaking Part 2- 'AI'
<p>In this show I look at one of the hottest topics at the moment - Artificial Intelligence.We briefly look at what AI is, discuss some key points about how to answer a speaking part 2 prompt, and I provide 2 example responses.</p><br><p>I used Claude AI to create the Task 2 Prompt and got Camtasia Audiate to generate an AI voice to read an AI generated response. The AI generated response talks about how ChatGPT helped it in completing a study assignment and in my own example answer I discuss how Google Gemini helped me improve a drawing my daughter did on my office whiteboard. </p><br><p>Can you notice the difference between the AI generated response and an actual human response? What do you think?

Episode 10- Speaking Part 1- 'Fast Food'
<p>When was the last time you had fast food? Go on, be honest — no judgment here. Whether it was a sneaky burger on the way home, a quick brekkie on the way to work or school, or a Friday treat you absolutely do not regret, most of us have a relationship with fast food. It's cheap, it's fast, it's everywhere — and resisting it takes a level of willpower most of us are saving for more important things.</p><br><p>But here's the good news: all that time you've spent in the drive-through- it's research! Fast food is one of those topics that pops up regularly in the IELTS exam — as a Part 1 warm-up, a Part 2 long turn, a Part 3 discussion, or even a Task 2 essay question. It touches on health, lifestyle, the environment, globalisation — the kind of themes IELTS loves. So if you're going to eat it, you might as well get a higher band score for your efforts!</p><br><p>In this episode, we work through a set of Part 1 speaking questions on the topic of fast food— the kind of short, conversational questions you'd get right at the start of the speaking exam. We'll cover questions like whether you like fast food, what kinds you've tried, and when you'd go to a fast food restaurant. There's also a slightly unexpected one in the mix: whether you use a microwave — because quick cooking at home is very much part of the fast food conversation. Along the way you'll pick up ideas, example answers, and vocabulary you can use straight away. Part 3 discussion questions — the big debates around health, obesity, and whether fast food should be regulated — are a whole other episode, and whether we get there depends on you: leave a comment or send some feedback and let us know if you want to go deeper!</p><br><p>Here's that link to Yonghe Dawang restaurant I mentioned in the podcast: : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DW7rvlbDNuO/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/reels/DW7rvlbDNuO/</a></p><br><p>I hope this episode is instructive and informative.</p><br><p>cheers</p><br><p>Locky</p><br><p><br></p><h3><strong>Links</strong></h3><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Web:</u></strong></p><p>www.ielts-help.com</p><p>www.ieltshelp.podia.com</p><br><p><strong><u>Instagram:</u></strong></p><p>@online_ielts_help</p><br><p><strong><u>IELTS official website:</u></strong></p><p>www.ielts.org</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
