    What is your name?
    My name is Ryan.
    Where are you from?
    I am from the city of Salvador. It's situated along the northeastern coast of Brazil.
    What do you do? Work or study?
    Currently, I am pursuing a degree in social sciences at a university in my city.
    What do you like about your studies?
    I like learning about societal structures. For example, the degree lets me analyse human behaviour and societal dynamics, and these are topics that I find fascinating.
    What type of music do you enjoy listening to?
    This is probably no surprise, but Brazilian music holds a special place in my heart. I especially like styles such as bossa nova. In fact, I have a Brazilian bossa nova playlist that I listen to almost every day.
    When do you usually listen to music?
    I often immerse myself in music during relaxing moments, such as when I'm on the beautiful beaches of Salvador or enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon.
    Was music a part of your education during your school days?
    It was! Music education was integral during my school days in Brazil. We had dedicated classes where we explored the rhythms of samba and the melodies of bossa nova. For us students, these sessions were not only informative but also a source of national pride.
    Have you ever learned to play a musical instrument?
    Yes. I learned how to play the acoustic guitar. Playing allows me to express the soulful melodies that are deeply ingrained in Brazilian culture.
    Do many people in your country enjoy music?
    Without a doubt. Music is a fundamental part of life in Brazilian culture. You can hear it pretty much everywhere - on a busy bus or...coming from someone's window as you walk down the street. It's a hallmark of our country.
    Thank you.

    Lesson 144 | Part 2: An event or ceremony most people go through in your culture🪔

    Lesson 144 | Part 2: An event or ceremony most people go through in your culture🪔

    View all lessons! https://ieltsielts.com/view-all-repeat-lessons/
    Describe an event or ceremony most people go through in your culture. You should say:
    -what the event or ceremony is
    -when people usually experience it
    -how it affects people
    and explain your opinion about it
    I'd like to talk about the traditional ceremony of Diwali, which is widely celebrated in my culture.
    Typically, Diwali falls in October or November, depending on the lunar calendar. The festival lasts for five days, with the main day being marked by the lighting of oil lamps and candles. We do this to symbolise the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.
    Diwali has a profound impact on people in my culture. It is a time when families come together and adorn their houses with colourful decorations. This fosters a sense of unity and creates a positive and festive atmosphere. We also prepare sweet and savory dishes and exchange gifts to promote goodwill among friends and neighbours.
    On a deeper level, Diwali holds cultural and spiritual significance. The rituals and prayers performed during the festival are believed to bring prosperity and good fortune. The symbolic significance of light dispelling darkness encourages introspection and pushes people to make positive changes in their life.
    In my opinion, Diwali is not just a festival. It is a reflection of our cultural values and traditions. It brings joy and happiness to people's lives, fostering a sense of belonging and community. The rituals associated with Diwali, such as lighting lamps and offering prayers, instill a sense of spirituality and mindfulness. Moreover, the emphasis on charity during Diwali encourages people to share their prosperity with those less fortunate. I believe that such traditions are essential in preserving the richness of our cultural heritage and promoting values that carry on for multiple generations.

    Transcript:
    Do you work or are you a student?
    I'm a student pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science at the University of Lisbon.
    Do you play video games?
    Yes, I do enjoy playing video games. I find it's a fantastic way to unwind and relax.
    What kind of games do you play?
    I have an eclectic taste in games, but I particularly enjoy strategic and simulation games. Titles like Civilization VI and Cities: Skylines are among my favourites.
    Do you have friends who are also into gaming?
    Yes. We regularly get together for multiplayer sessions and enjoy friendly competition.
    What types of games do you usually play with your friends?
    We typically engage in cooperative games or team-based multiplayer games. Games like Among Us or Overwatch are popular choices with us because these games can be played in less than 20 minutes and they allow us to work together as a team.
    Do you enjoy watching others play video games, like in live streams or gaming videos?
    Yes, I find it quite entertaining. It's a great way to learn new strategies, discover hidden game features, and also enjoy the unique personalities of the content creators. However, I'm very busy with my studies these days, so I don't tend to watch these types of videos very often.
    How much time do you typically spend gaming in a week?
    I try to strike a balance between my academic responsibilities and leisure activities. On average, I spend maybe five hours a week gaming. It serves as a rewarding break from my studies and allows me to stay connected with friends who share similar interests.
    Thank you.
