Answers and vocabulary for SCIENCE 🧬 | IELTS Speaking Part 1 (2022)

hello lovely in this video we're gonna give you modal answers about science an ielts speaking part one topic i'm maria my name is rory and we're here to help you prepare for ielts speaking and upon along the way in the first part of the video we are giving you the answers to the exam questions and in the second part we crack jokes laugh and give you gorgeous grammar and discuss fabulous vocabulary so watch us till the very end and if you really like us after all that then you can have a look in the description and we've got a little link to our part two and part part two part two and part three premium episodes so you can check those out there oh rory and can i say that our subscribers should smash the like button i think they should sensitively rub the like button ah rory let's talk about science shall we okay did you study science at school yeah we had biology and chemistry and physics in high school um although i dodged the last one because i was terrible at maths and apparently you need lots of maths and physics and even in primary we did some isolated experiments here and there when did you start learning it well in the uk your formal education and science begins in primary school however i was reading sort of small science books for children even before then and outside of school as well it's a shame i never really got into it after all that reading um well after all the reading i used to do actually did you like science classes when you were a child i think i preferred reading about science more than actually doing it to be honest with you the classes were always very dry formal and boring compared to the well relatively more bright and exciting books um so it put me off the subject quite a bit when we actually had to do the practical stuff had to do the practical stuff what was your favorite and least favorite science subject at school you know i always did well in biology um chemistry was always a nightmare because well there's maths involved in that as well um especially in the more complex experiments that you had to conduct i didn't really bother with physics um because that was even more math centric so i couldn't tell you about that how do you use science every day not to be honest i i doubt i or anyone else outside of a lab actually does we use the end product of science more than the process itself i mean for example i know how a light bulb works but it's my knowledge of other things that lets me work to be able to buy one and then a different set of knowledge that allows me to flick a switch to turn it on do you think science classes are important i think that depends what it did in comparison to um so if it's in comparison to maths and english then no um it's more important to be generally literate than scientifically literate if you have to choose between the two um it shouldn't be a choice but when you have a limited amount of time to work with it's better to work with the more broadly applicable knowledge base than something that's more narrow or narrower i should say do you think school children should have both science and art classes together or separately uh regardless i think it's uh important to develop an awareness and appreciation of art and science if only to get by in the world but are they as crucial as general literacy and numeracy probably not not for a living [Music] science you know i prefer collecting things or i prefer talents in terms of talking about them yeah in terms of just you know chit chatting but science maybe i wasn't good at science and by science we mean science subjects such as what biology chemistry physics mathematics yeah those are the big ones i mean there are other ones which are separate in a combination of the three but yeah if i think about science i think about mathematics physics okay chemistry but what are other science subjects well you have environmental science which is like a combination of chemistry and mathematics well so chemistry mathematics and biology the combination of chemistry mathematics and biology in one subject well with a focus on the environment yeah yeah mr white yes science and science at school right and you can say like we had biology chemistry yeah physics it's physics not physics physics in high school right and roy said that um in the uk formal education starts in like formal education in science begins in primary school right so primary school from the first uh form to the fourth right if you're in england yeah um in scotland it's like primary education is primary one two seven okay all right it's kind of complicated it's not complicated well it is but only when you're comparing things okay but again dear listen so primary school so first we have primary and then secondary and then high school right so we can say that oh i started no in scotland there's just primary in high school but you can have i think americans have middle school which is where you go when you're a pre-teen and then they have high school which is for teenagers but we just have two we have primary school for young children and then high school for teenagers why should you be so special you scottish no secondary school um well we had a separate education system before the countries uh had a political union so that's why also the development of education in scotland is different to england you see the listener this is what i mean this is already complicated science anyway you can say that i started learning science in primary school or when i was seven when i was six and then rory you said that you dodged the last one so i just didn't do it i was given the choice to do physics and i was like that's that's going to be a disaster so no yeah so if you dodge something you just say no to it right what else can we dodge bullets oh dodge bullets so somebody like is shooting and then you like dodge bullets like a superman or superwoman or like neo in the matrix but the point is you dodge something that you don't want to do and then you can speak about experiments so rory had some experiments experiments in terms of scientific experiments do you do experiments or you make experiments you do experiments but really that's a bit of a simple verb and i shouldn't have said that but i recovered later i said conduct experiments and then it's a shame or it was a shame that i never really got into it so it was a pity that rory didn't get into science but that's just when something is unfortunate then rory said that i preferred reading to science classes and then because classes science classes were dull dry formal and boring this puts him off so this puts me off the subject quite a bit so if something puts you off it means that kind of you don't like it right it's kind of like yeah like it's like this you know when i kind of like this or that right this is my science right this is my science right so this dior or uh clearance clojan sparring no this color oh no dior okay is this does it make sense no no not in the slightest but we'll get by so we can you can say that um the fact that the classes were dry formal and boring puts me off the subject so put me off the subject no they were very dry very formal and very boring right and then you did well in biology right rory well relative to the other two so if you do well in something or do well at something then it's good and it's not um difficult and you're getting good results you can say i did well in mathematics in biology and physics and for example chemistry was a nightmare right or biology was a nightmare or mathematics or science subjects were a nightmare it was a disaster right for example or i did well in all science subjects and rory didn't even bother with physics because we remember what did rory do he he dodged physics so he stopped doing this or he didn't choose to do it i didn't even bother with it uh did you bother with literature or with art with pe classes physical education i hated art and i hated pe the only things i was good at at high school were english and history and then we can speak about the lab because science we conduct experiments in a lab or laboratory laboratory laboratory a lab laboratory lab so anyone else outside a lab actually does use science every day on a regular basis and then we can talk about what we know how a light bulb works a light bulb edison and then we flick a switch yeah but you don't need to know about science to know how to work a light bulb that was kind of what i was saying people placed a lot of emphasis on this and it's like maybe if you want to work in a lab then yes but really most people just want to know where to get light bulb and how to make it work and then we can say it's not rocket science to switch on the light i did not say that did i no because this is expression it's not rocket science so if you say like oh the conditionals in english oh they're so difficult and we go it's not rocket science it's easy well you say it's not rocket science i say oh my god it's conditionals get me out of here so we can also say something about being literate so our science class is important and rory said that being literate is more important so if a person is literate what does it mean well they can generally it means that they can read and write but now um it also means that people can speak and listen effectively yeah but usually we say i can read and write so i'm literate or if i can't read or write i'm illiterate and you can say it's more important to be literate like generally literate than scientifically literate so scientifically literate you mean just to have knowledge of mathematics of biology chemistry what else space what do you call it astronomy astronomy and then we can say that it's important to develop appreciation of science and appreciation of art okay well sometimes science has more art than science morty a lot of people don't get that can we say appreciation appreciation appreciation i say appreciation but i i've heard people say appreciation so both both right so art classes or science classes develop we should develop appreciation or appreciation of both well yes but that just means that you can you understand the purposes of both and how they work but not necessarily like all of the details i think that might be outside of you know how a lot of children work um and really it's more important they can read and write before they do any of that yeah so first they read and write and then they do the science stuff well i it all happens at the same time if i have to choose then i need to place more of a focus on literacy first of all because that's the thing that's assessed and then second of all because that's the thing that's more broadly applicable which just means that you can use it in a variety of situations nice so delisna could you please let us know in the comments what about you do you enjoy science or not much and also if you do which science subjects do you like what were you good at so i was good at biology or i did well in chemistry i didn't do well in any of the science subjects i had uh what the worst mark for chemistry not geometry geometry i had two we have like uh one two three four five five is the best and i had like two for uh geometry and it was like a mid term and it was really bad so they wanted to kick me out just because of this geometry well it didn't do you any well harm in the long run no because then i copied somebody else's work during the test and then what a great moral lesson no it didn't because i cheated oh i couldn't do the sums so school days those were the days yeah let us know in the comment section please and like our videos and we'll see you next time bye bye [Music] you
