Hello, Love, I'm Maria.

And my name is Rory, and we are the host of the IOL Speaking for Success podcast.

The podcast aims to help you improve your speaking skills, as well as your listening skills along the way.

We started this podcast to give you a high-level vocabulary and grammar for your Ayo speaking and for your English life.

Wow, Rory, look at you. You all dressed up tonight?

Yeah, I'm going out later.

Oh, let's talk about going out.

Okay, whatever. Can we hurry up so I can go out, please?

Sure, sure. In Speaking Part 1, they can ask you questions about going out.

Roy, do you like going out or staying at home?

To tell the truth, I'm much aware of a homebody, to be honest.

I rarely like going out to clubs these days because I'm a little bit past it and I hate loud music and crowds.

It's the kind of combination that sort of makes your insides vibrate at the same time they're being crushed out of existence.

Do you often go out in the evenings?

Almost never, if I'm honest, unless I'm going to the gym and shopping and then walking back.

Does that count?

I think the last time I was in a club was about a month ago, and it was like being in a time warp.

I went in at 11 o'clock at night and emerged at 7 in the morning,

and I have no idea how I managed to spend 8 hours of my life in one place.

I don't even spend that much time in bed normally.

What do you like to do when you go out?

I like talking to people.
