Can you see that?
0:16
Yes,
0:17
I can see it.
0:18
Okay, great. So, I'll give you a minute
0:21
to prepare. So, timer starts now. One
0:24
minute, please prepare.
0:27
Oh, sorry. This is regarding the part
0:29
two.
0:30
Part two. Yeah. Telling a story.
0:32
Okay. I I got it.
0:33
Mhm.
1:35
Okay, time's up.
1:38
You have one to two minutes to answer
1:40
whenever you're ready.
1:45
Okay. Yeah.
1:48
I'd like to describe about
1:53
uh a person who likes to grow plants. Uh
1:56
this is my mother. Yeah. My mother uh
2:02
likes to grow plants uh like farming and
2:06
uh get a get her vegetables.
2:12
Then
2:16
she has started since 10 years and she's
2:22
still doing
2:25
farming it now.
2:29
and
2:35
through her.
2:51
Continue.
2:54
Sorry that I can't.
2:56
Okay. Okay. Let's stop the timer. You
2:58
give me a second.
3:00
All right, that's okay.
3:02
All right. So,
3:04
uh, your Q card here is describe a
3:07
person who likes to grow plants. Okay.
3:11
So, you're talking about your mom. Okay,
3:14
that's good. So, you just uh couldn't
3:19
continue developing your story perhaps
3:23
because you don't have any ideas or
3:26
what's the reason behind it?
3:29
Uh just uh I I couldn't get my opinion
3:36
about my feeling.
3:39
I I'm not sure I was not sure how to
3:42
explain it. And
3:47
okay, that's all right. Now, the
3:50
technique here is this. Uh, a person who
3:53
likes to grow plants. Okay, let's talk
3:55
about your mom. Okay, what kinds of
3:59
plants
4:01
does she cultivate or does she grow? Are
4:06
they ornamental plants or decorative
4:09
plants or are they vegetables?
4:13
Okay.
4:15
So maybe, okay, for example, maybe your
4:19
mom grows different vegetables in her
4:23
backyard. Okay, so I'd like to talk
4:27
about my mom because she is really into
4:31
gardening. She has a small garden in her
4:35
backyard and she grows different kinds
4:39
of vegetables such as carrots,
4:44
spinach,
4:46
I don't know. Okay. So, we will be
4:49
talking about vegetable plants or her
4:53
vegetables. Okay. Now,
4:55
okay. And then um uh you can talk about
4:59
how she started how she started growing
5:02
plants. Okay, maybe you can say I
5:05
remember my mom uh told me that she
5:11
started loving to cultivate plants when
5:15
she was only 10 years old because my
5:20
grandparents were also into gardening.
5:23
So every time my grandparents
5:27
uh planted some vegetables in their uh
5:31
backyard, my mom at that time who was
5:34
only 10 years old helped them.
5:38
Since then, my mom grew his her love in
5:43
planting.
5:45
Yeah. As I grew up, my I saw um the
5:50
passion that my mom has in gardening.
5:56
In fact, when she celebrated her 60th
5:59
birthday,
6:00
I gifted her some vegetables and some
6:05
seedlings so she could plant them. I
6:10
gave her siblings of cucumber.
6:14
What else? I don't know. Cucumber. Yeah.
6:18
And things like that. Okay.
6:21
Uh and then after that, every time I go
6:26
back to our hometown, I am so I feel so
6:31
happy to see how beautiful my mom's
6:34
garden.
6:36
Okay. And dear story, if my mom did not
6:40
have any love for uh growing plants, I
6:45
think I wouldn't be able to eat some
6:49
great vegetables.
6:52
Something like that.
6:54
Mhm.
6:55
Yeah. Any questions? Do you have any
6:58
questions or what?
7:06
You need to prepare. I mean you need to
7:08
practice. You need some time to
7:10
uh develop your story. Okay. Uh to avoid
7:14
mental block when you are starting to
7:17
deliver your story because you know you
7:19
have to make sure that you won't
7:21
experience that in your actual test. All
7:24
right.
7:25
Anyway, um that would be all for our
7:28
lesson. So let's uh improve your uh
7:32
storytelling next time. We cannot
7:34
proceed to part three unless you develop
7:37
or you improve your part two. Okay.
7:41
Okay.
7:42
Anyway, have a great night. I'll see
7:44
you. Bye for now.
7:45
Yeah. Thank you very much.
7:47
All right.
