🧑‍🎨 Describe a creative person you admire (Part 2) + Transcript

Hello, hello, Dylisna and welcome into IELTS Speaking Part 2! And you, Topic, for us is today, describe a creative person, an artist, a musician, an architect, you admire. You should say who he is, how you use them, what he's of her greatest achievement is, and explain why you think he or she is creative. Rory's story! Rory of he now. I'd like to talk about Yvonne Mask, who is, at least I think, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, which are pretty novel companies that needed a lot of creativity to get off the ground, quite literally, in some cases. When it comes to who he is, aside from what I already mentioned, he's an American entrepreneur, though I think he's originally from South Africa. Other than that, I don't know much about him, apart from the fact that he's apparently quite inventive when it comes to his work, with regards to how I know him, he's in the news all the time for the work he does in both business and politics. It's not always positive, but I suppose nobody's perfect, and it's the creative side of things, I think most people like him anyway. At least that's certainly the case with me, I don't get invested in drama like that. In terms of his greatest achievements, well I don't think he's finished doing things, but so far he's overseeing the delivery of things like the Tesla, which is an electronic vehicle, and I think it was the first commercially viable one, actually, and he helped develop some reusable rocket engines. I also think he's responsible for the development of Starlink, which is a satellite constellation that spans the globe. Needless to say, all of these are pretty great accomplishments that benefit a lot of people, as well as create numerous jobs and opportunities. To tell you a bit more about why I think he's creative, well to be honest, I think it takes a pretty inventive person, or at least an original thinker, to come up with all these ideas or at least facilitate their development. Obviously, no man is an island, but undoubtedly he has lots of people helping him out with this stuff, but it seems like he's the main organising force behind it all. If we didn't have Elon, it's possible the world would be a little quieter, but it would also be one with fewer options. And what about your friends? Do they admire this person? Unfortunately, I haven't heard them say many positive things, but he was the first person that came to mind. As you know, we never release all of our premium content for free, and it's available for one month. After one month, it goes into our super secret archive. Design up for the archive, click the link in the description below. See you soon. So, Dylissna, a creative person you admire, so what does admire mean? It's like a door. Yeah, or you think they're cool, or you like them. You think they've done something positive, or made a difference in the world. And here, you can choose to talk about an artist, an artist, meaning like a painter, Van Golf, for example. Picasso, a musician, an architect, someone who is connected to art. If you don't have such a person, you have to find them. Okay? So, it's up to you. And learn about their life. Write out three or five words and off you go. Corey chose to talk about Elon Musk. Well, he is quite creative, but I'd say he's what land. What do you call Elon Musk? An entrepreneur? An entrepreneur, a business man. Entrepreneur, yeah, like a business person. Mm-hmm. According to Wikipedia, but again, like why not? You know, he's quite creative. Actually, that's an interesting choice for him, because I would choose Van Golf. Well, we were talking about him in the part one episode. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So, you see, okay, it's possible. But Vorry is actually like risking it. Because the examiner might kind of think like, "Hmm, is he creative? Is he connected to art in some way?" Well, does a creative person have to be an artistic person? Yeah, exactly. Like, yeah. Creative on the podcast, we create new ways to develop grammar and vocabulary. Yeah. So, you can pick somebody from art or, again, you know, make a choice. But you should know about this person and you should be able to talk about them. Rory, can I talk about a writer here? Ah, you could, yeah, writing his art. And, well, even if it's non-fiction, it could also be very nicely done, which requires some creativity. Yeah. And, you start talking. You don't read out the card. You just say, "I'd like to talk about Van Golf. I'd like to talk about Picasso." And then, the founder of the famous painter, a famous architect, novel companies, new companies. Novel is a very nice synonym to new, like a new approach. You can say a novel approach. A unique approach. A unique take. A novel take. Take is just meaning understanding here. And here, Rory explains, like, which needed a lot of creativity. So we are talking about a creative person and we are using a noun, creativity. So he found it. These novel companies that needed a lot of creativity to get off the ground. So to get off the ground, to start them going, to make them work. I made a fun joke, though. Yeah, because Elon Musk deals with, you know. Rockets. And then I had to stay to get off the ground. It literally, like, literally, like, in real life. Ha, ha, ha. The rockets are going off the ground. There you go. A joke in part two. The examiner will love that. So get something off the ground is an idiom. So if a plan or activity gets off the ground, you get it off the ground. It starts or it succeeds. So for example, a lot of money is needed to get this project off the ground. So you have an idea for a company or a business or a project or something. And you say, "Yeah, I need to get it off the ground. I need people, I need money, I need creativity to get it off the ground, to make it successful." Maybe you need a miracle. I need a miracle to get it off the ground. We change the topic when it comes to who he is. So that's the first bullet point in our card, who he is. When it comes to who he is, he is an American. How do you pronounce it? Entrepreneur, entrepreneur. Entrepreneur, how do you not know that word? I thought you would be very good with that word. I know the word. I just struggle to pronounce it. How? It's so easy. Entrepreneur. Entrepreneur. I look at the spelling, Roritz. Ranges. How to rages. Entrepreneur. It's French. Yes. Entrepreneur. Entrepreneur. Entrepreneur. Entrepreneur. Entrepreneur. Je n'est quoi? Vous barrez les français, vous barrez les français. Excuse me. As you do, you do, no, no. Croissant. Entrepreneur, de l'Essence. Entrepreneur. If you can't be bothered to pronounce it in this word, just say a businessman. A business person. No. But entrepreneur is a nice one. An entrepreneur is a person who starts their own business, especially when the business involves an opportunity, creativity, you know, it's like, yay, like Elon Musk. He's a famous entrepreneur. He's originally from South Africa. Oh, really? Oh, okay. I think so. I think he was born there and became an American citizen, perhaps. Oh, yeah, in South Africa. Yeah, you're correct. He's of British and Pennsylvania, Dutch ancestry. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. He has a very interesting mother and model and she's into diet and stuff. Nice. And she was raised in South Africa, you okay? I see, okay. Well, there you have it. Right. But the other thing is, if you don't know then, you can always speculate and say, I don't know, but I think he is from there, or at least I think he is from there. And the way you say it. So he's from South Africa, or at least I think he is from there. Hope you could feel your pronunciation, but also it means that you can show how to handle things when you're not sure about them. He's quite inventive when it comes to his work. So again, we're paraphrasing creative, inventive, he invents stuff. Like very good at thinking of new original ideas. He's very inventive. We change the topic again using the phrase with regards to how I know him. So we use them when it comes to who he is, tata tata. With regards to how I know him or with regards to who he is, tata tata. So he's in the news all the time. Yeah. So he's in the spotlight. The media spotlight. In terms of his greatest achievements. Again, a new phrase to change the topic. And this is the last task. Like what he's or her greatest achievement is. blah blah blah blah. And we say that so far, his greatest achievement has been the Tesla. An electric vehicle. An electric, they listen to not electrical, not electricity, but an electric car. An electric vehicle, vehicle like a car. Why did you say the Tesla? Why not Tesla? Well Tesla, if I say that, it's the company, but the Tesla is the car as well, or the type of car. He is also responsible for the development over the Tata Tom, a car stalling, right? And which is a set light constellation. That just means a group of satellites. It's a fancy word for a group of satellites. And another synonym for achievements is accomplishments. So he has achieved a lot, or he has accomplished a lot. Achievements, accomplishments. Nice one. Like one of his greatest accomplishments was the invention of tutu tutu. Like an accomplishment is something successful. And his accomplishments, his achievements, benefit a lot of people all over the world. So people get a lot of useful things out of his accomplishments. Unnumerous jobs, for example, opportunities. At least I think so. I think these are quite big companies. If you're launching rockets, then they're probably very big. He's an original thinker. Another synonym for creative, original thinker. Or inventive. He has original ideas, inventive, yeah. And Vovice says, no man is an island. So he's not alone. He has a lot of people helping him out. How many children does he have? Oh, it's a lot. I think it's like seven or six or something. It's a lot. A lot of children. Yeah, now Elon Musk is 54 years old. He's just like, wow, young. Active. At least 14 children. What? Wow, 14. 14. At least it says, according to like a Wikipedia, I don't know. I don't know if that's connected to being creative, though. I think that's just another aspect of personality. 14 kids at least officially. So yeah, you see, a productive person. A reproductive person. And you can wrap it up with a conditional, the second conditional, where imagining. So if we didn't have Elon Musk, the world would be a little quieter. Our life would not be as fun without him. Love lab. I think we've drawn attention to just about everything. So who would your creative person be? Maria already said, Van Gogh. I said Elon Musk, but who would you choose? Thank you very much for listening and we'll get back to you in our next episode. Okay. Bye. Describe a creative person, an artist, a musician, an architect you admire. You should say who he she is, how you use them, what he's the greatest achievement is and explain why you think he or she is creative. I'd like to talk about Elon Musk, who is at least, I think, the founder of SpaceX and Tesla, which are pretty novel companies that needed a lot of creativity to get off the ground, quite literally, in some cases, when it comes to who he is, aside from what I already mentioned, he's an American entrepreneur, though I think he's originally from South Africa.

Unfortunately, I haven't heard them say many positive things, but he was the first person that came to mind.
