Hi, this is IELTSIELTS.com, Lesson 182. If you find these resources helpful, all I ask is you leave a like on this work, and if you're feeling extra nice, please share this work to your Facebook feed. I really do appreciate those of you that do this week after week. This week, we are looking at Part 1 questions on the topic of exercise. I'll read the questions in this section to you now.

Where do you live? Can you describe your hometown? What is your favorite place to visit in your hometown? How easy is it to walk around in your hometown? Let's talk about exercise. Do you like to exercise? What kind of exercise do you most regularly do? Is this kind of exercise popular in your country? Alright, first thing, let's listen to the sample so you can hear the model spoken naturally. Here it is.

Do you live? I live in Muscat. It is the capital city of Oman. Can you describe your hometown? Muscat is a city that blends traditional and modern elements. For example, you'll find ancient forts like Al-Murani, which dates back centuries, standing alongside contemporary landmarks such as the Royal Opera House. The people are very internationally minded. It's a great place to live.

What is your favourite place to visit in your hometown? My favourite spot is Mutrasukh, an enchanting traditional market near the coast. There you can find stalls selling everything from spices and textiles to jewellery and antiques. How easy is it to walk around your hometown? Walking around Muscat can be enjoyable in specific areas such as the walkway along the coast,

or within parks like Kurum Natural Park. However, the city is spread out and the weather can be quite hot, especially in the summer, so walking isn't always practical. Let's talk about exercise. Do you like to exercise? Yes, I enjoy exercising as it helps me stay fit and reduces stress. What kind of exercise do you most regularly do?

I regularly go for evening walks. There is a beautiful walkway along the coast in my city. The sea breeze and the stunning views of the harbour make it a refreshing and enjoyable activity. Is this kind of exercise popular in your country?

Yes, walking is quite popular in Oman, especially during the cooler months. The country's diverse landscapes, from mountains to beaches, provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. Many people see these as great ways to enjoy Oman's natural beauty while staying active. Thank you.

Okay, we will now start this week's speech shadowing exercise. In this week's free sample exercise, you will repeat the response to the questions from the model on the topic of exercise. I'll read the section of the response again to you now, just to refresh your memory. So, the examiner says, "Let's talk about exercise. Do you like to exercise?"

Yes, I enjoy exercising as it helps me stay fit and reduce stress. What kind of exercise do you most regularly do? I regularly go for evening walks. There is a beautiful walkway along the coast in my city.

Okay, let's go ahead and start this week's speech shadowing exercise. If this is your first time doing a speech shadowing exercise, remember you should be speaking aloud as you listen. So, you will first hear a portion of the sample, and then you will be given a pause within which to repeat what you have heard. And the point of the exercise is to adjust your pronunciation to sound as much like the model as possible.

Remember that at IELTSIELTS.com, just $25 per month gives you access to the full shadowing lessons, and $199 per month gives you access to the full lessons plus a private WhatsApp group, where you will submit one speaking sample each day from Monday to Friday and receive feedback on it from a qualified instructor. Okay, here's this week's speech shadowing exercise. Enjoy.
