Hello, lovely, I'm Maria.

And my name is Rory, and we are the host of the IEL Speaking for Success podcast, the podcast that needs to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills along the way.

We started this super podcast because we want you to use higher level vocabulary and gorgeous grammar in your everyday

life and in your I-LL speaking test.

Rory, have you got any news to report?

Nope, but we are going to talk about newspapers today.

It's another coincidence.

Woohoo, newspapers and magazines.

They can ask you these questions in Speaking Part 1.

Dear listener, now you can do an IELTS writing check with us.

Yep.

It includes both Task 1 and Task 2 for both academic and general IELTS.

You'll receive written feedback from Maria or myself with corrections, suggestions and a breakdown of the answers in relation to the exam criteria.

You can find the sample feedback on our social media.

Let's talk about newspapers and magazines.

Do you read news in newspapers or on the internet?

It's usually on the internet, actually. I can't really afford or organize a subscription. It's actually faster that way, I suppose. Do you think the internet is a good way to get news?

I suppose if it's simple or factual information about events, then yes. But there are a lot of

opinion pieces out there that I don't like. Which do you prefer reading magazines or newspapers?

I suppose if I have to choose one, it's probably going to be reading newspapers.
