Hello, lovely people of the world. I'm Maria. And my name is Rory. We are the host of the IEL

Speaking for Success podcast, the podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills, as well as your

listening skills along the way. We started this super podcast to give you a look at how a native speaker

would answer some of the most

common iL speaking questions using gorgeous grammar and super vocabulary for a high score.

So today is a special day and we're recording all by ourselves unsupervised because our producer is

not here. Yeah, something fishy is going on with him actually.

That's funny, Rory, because today we're going to be talking about fish.

Ooh-hoo! Yes, in speaking part one, they can ask you questions about fish and fishing.

Rory, do you like going fishing?

I don't like going fishing regularly, although it's probably, it seems like an entertaining

prospect when you consider like how much of a city boy I am.

I did go fishing once though with my dad and I think I really wanted to go and I complained about it for a while

I was like begging him to go and I think I might have romanticised it a little because it was awful. I didn't

catch anything and the weather was terrible so yeah it just wasn't a good idea the one time that I did

it wasn't a good idea. Where do people go fishing in your country?

Oh, I suppose you could go anywhere. We're surrounded by sea and water in general in all directions.

So you could go fishing by the shore, for example.

We also have some lakes, so you could fish by the lakeside and I guess in the rivers as well.

We've got lots of those.

So there's lots and lots of places.

I think maybe there are even fish in some of the reservoirs.
