I'd like to answer the IEL speaking part
0:02
one topic questions about growing fruits
0:07
My name is Julius. I am a band nine
0:09
achiever of the IEL speaking test. Let's
0:12
begin. Are you interested in growing
0:14
vegetables and fruits? Yes, I am. I love
0:18
growing them. I have a small vegetable
0:20
garden at home where I grow leafy
0:22
vegetables and root crops. Also, our
0:27
backyard has one mango tree and some
0:29
lemon trees. And you know what? I get a
0:32
real sense of accomplishment whenever I
0:34
harvest them. Unfortunately, not because
0:36
I don't have a green thumb. No matter
0:38
how hard I tried growing vegetables and
0:42
even ornamental plants in the past, I
0:44
still ended up failing. I believe
0:47
planting is not really for me. Is
0:49
growing vegetables popular in your
0:52
country? Definitely. Growing vegetables
0:55
is widely popular in the rural areas of
0:58
our country because that's the
1:00
livelihood of people living in such
1:02
places. When you travel to the
1:04
countryside, you'll see fields of
1:07
lettuce, cabbage, and tomatoes. They are
1:11
pretty neat to look at. But beyond that,
1:13
we appreciate our farmers for providing
1:17
us with food. I believe so because
1:19
people fear food shortages. They want to
1:23
grow their own food so in times of
1:25
crisis like a pandemic or I war they can
1:29
survive. Not only that but because of
1:33
skyrocketing food prices some people
1:35
become more motivated to grow their own
1:38
food so they can save money. Do many
1:41
people grow vegetables in your city? I'm
1:44
not sure about that considering the
1:46
space that they have is not sufficient
1:49
to have a full-blown vegetable garden.
1:52
However, in the apartment where I'm
1:55
living, I see some neighbors having
1:58
small pots of herbs on their window
2:00
sills. Perhaps in other apartments, some
2:03
people do that as well. As far as I
2:06
know, the majority of people living in
2:08
the city aren't into growing plants. Not
2:11
only because there is a space constraint
2:13
but also because they don't have the
2:15
luxury of time to take care of plants.
2:19
Most of them are very busy with their
2:21
work and some even have multiple side
2:24
jobs to make ends meet. Do you think
2:26
it's easy to grow vegetables? I think
2:30
for some it is but for others it's not.
2:33
It's easy for those who have so much
2:35
passion for planting, have enough
2:37
knowledge and are naturally gifted in
2:41
growing plants. But sometimes passion
2:44
and knowledge wouldn't suffice.
2:48
But just having a green thumb would I
2:51
don't think so. It takes knowledge to
2:53
grow vegetables and to protect them from
2:56
insects or diseases. It also takes
2:59
patience to take care of them and
3:02
eventually get a good harvest. Planting
3:04
is not just about watering and
3:06
cultivating the soil. It's more than
3:09
that. Should schools teach students how
3:12
to grow vegetables? Absolutely. That's a
3:15
brilliant idea because that's a
3:17
practical life skill. Students should
3:20
learn how to grow their own food. So
3:22
they will understand the importance of
3:25
patience and they will appreciate the
3:28
job of farmers. Also, when they know how
3:31
to grow their own food, they can
3:33
definitely survive in times of crisis.
3:37
Yes, I'm all for it. Growing vegetables
3:40
is not only educational, but it also
3:42
encourages children to eat healthier.
3:44
For instance, if they plant carrots and
3:48
harvest them in time, they're most
3:50
likely to eat them because they take
3:53
pride in the effort that they put into
3:56
growing them and taking care of them.
3:59
That's way better than forcing them to
4:01
eat vegetables. So I hope schools will
4:06
add this to their curriculum from 6.5 to
4:14
6.5 to 7, one take seven and many more.
4:19
So how did these students get their
4:22
target band score? Well, they just used
4:25
my reviewer. My reviewer helped them
4:29
speak naturally, conversationally, and
4:32
meaningfully. So, if you also want to
4:34
get your target band score like these
4:36
students or even exceed your target band
4:39
score, then get my latest reviewer. My
4:42
reviewer from September to December of
4:44
this year is now available. the topics
4:48
get updated from time to time so that uh
4:51
you will be aware of the possible topics
4:54
that you might get in your actual test.
4:58
You will learn how to develop your story
5:00
in part two and you will learn how to
5:02
speak or discuss your answers in part
5:05
three naturally and conversationally. To
