IELTS Preparation. Band 8-9 Answers. Part 1 - Your favourite place. Q.2 

カレンダーでは休みじゃないのに、日本人がみんな休みを取る「お盆（ぼん）」がやってきました。故郷（ふるさと）に親戚（しんせき）が集まって、お墓参り（おはかまいり）をします。アイコンの野菜が何だか、わかりますか。このキュウリやナスは「馬」です。お盆のかざりです。亡（な）くなったおじいちゃんやおばあちゃんが、これに乗って、あちらの世界（せかい）からこちらの世界に遊びに来るそうです。「キャー、こわ～い！」なんてことはなくて、今はもう会えない人のことを、静（しず）かに静かに考える行事なんです。みなさんの会いたい人は、だれですか。

一部、小さいころの私と「お父ちゃん」が関西弁（かんさいべん kansai dialect）で、話しています。意味はスクリプトに書いてあるので、興味（きょうみ）があったら、見てください。

A flight attendant approaches Matt to offer him a drink.


Flight Attendant
Would you like something to drink? We have soda, coffee and tea as well as alcoholic beverages.


Matt
Sure, how much are the drinks?


Flight Attendant
Non-alcoholic beverages are free of charge. Alcoholic drinks are five dollars each.


Matt
Ok. I'd like to have a cup of coffee, please. Are meals going to be served on this flight?


Flight Attendant
Dinner will be served halfway through the flight. I will also bring you a snack with your beverage.


Matt
Can we choose what we will have for dinner?


Flight Attendant
Certainly. I will be bringing the menu for you to choose from. We have chicken, fish, and beef.


Matt
Is a vegetarian meal available?


Flight Attendant
Yes, but only if you have requested a special meal when you booked your flight. If not, I will try to find some extra servings of vegetables for you.


Matt
That would be great. Thank you very much.

Being scared will make you fail a job interview or IELTS speaking!

What kind of attitude does it create?

Imagine yourself worrying about the past; what went on inside your mind?

Can you remember the thoughts you held? What were they?

Did you see the event in darker colors?

Were you afraid to take the next step? 

I can tell you that most people are the same, regardless of where we are from—we are humans; therefore, it's universal.

Listen to the recording and be inspired to take action towards your successes over your failures, as right now it's what most minds are occupied by.

To your success, and when you are ready to see me, apply for my classes, and let me help you take the next step in your English development journey.
