Hello Sunshine, I'm Maria. And my name is Rory, and we are the hosts of the AILT speaking for success podcasts. No, I said podcasts, but I meant to say podcast, singular. But usually our aim is to give you all the grammar and vocabulary that you need for a high score. By a nine score. However, today it will be different. We've got bloopers from this year's episodes. How awesome is that?

Yes, we have a different episode today. Something special. New Year is coming. So we've just had Christmas. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Yes, but some of you might be listening to us before New Year, in which case, happy New Year in advance. And some of you might be listening to us after New Year, in which case, Happy New Year! Strasvich, Testing, one, two, three. Strasvich, my small and friend.

It's the first test of the first recording in 2021. What are we going to do? How does it sound? Who knows? Vanu knows the answer. Tell me if the test is good. I don't even... What do Americans even sound like? I haven't heard an American accent. A car. Drive my car. A car. I drive my car across America. It's not really a car. It's a tank. It's a tank minus the gun, you know. When people drive these things, they have trouble telling the difference between a packet of crisps and your children. do you think argument is important well provided it's constructive yes I don't see the point on having

I don't see the point in having mindless Maria stop messing around I can't see the script Maria stop it when you're when you're highlighting this name there's just this massive sign that appears across it saying Maria Molesenko is highlighting this part of script and I'm just sitting here like I can't read what I'm supposed to be saying how unbelievably

rude behold I testeth the mic early I doth test the mic early in order to achieve optimum testing so tell me if this is working just fine this research builds on previous work by Mr. Yellow, who looked into whiskey consumption with conflicts. Is there a graph for this? What do crickets do in Russia? They defend Motherland, is what they do.

Every animal in this country defends the Rodina. What about fish? What do fish do? Also defend the Rodina. Fish does nothing. No, no, they do. You hear them in the water.

If you put a shell to your ear in Russia, all you can hear is Soyuzly. Oh, that's so sweet Maria. You're like a really annoying sister. Do you do the same thing every evening? Well, not exactly the same thing, except just before bed. I'll always brush my teeth, get changed into my jammies and apply moisturiser, and then it lights out.

Bore. Listen, son. When you get to my age, you will appreciate the value of moisturiser. Bore. Or you will be like typical Russian mujerk and you will age. Do you feel better now, darling? My neighbours have been making loud noises all morning. What have they been doing?

Hammering a boat. Banging. Let's have a sexy party. Everybody was at home watching stuff. The N-word. Netflix. The N-word? Oh, okay.

Sailing close to the breeze, don't you think? Do you often buy furniture? No. but I really want to buy a computer chair to sh-to-sh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-kh-h-hüd-h-h-h-h maintain. mass on the face of the quorum planet. The Kardashians. We can't really use that part of the script

because I've just said the word that's what they are. I hate the Kardashians. I hate them worse than Megan Markle. Oh, la la. Well, I touched the spot here. People who are famous for being famous as if Kaniy West is some sort of achievement.

Sorry. Behold my testing of the mic and despair. Dispire. You Mighty. Let's get on with the episode now, shall we? Get On is also a phrasal verb, and if you love phrasal verb, then you should definitely check out our podcourse while you're at it.

IELts. IELdsF.com. Yes. IELD.com. All of it's on there. IELD.com. Why not check out our only fans when you have the time. Um.

.com. It's our new website. Let me just see. Which, Yelts. It's going to be creating this June, 2021. I'm sq iLT.com. It's our sister site to FKC.com.

Right, hold on. Let me try that one more time. One more time, come on. I memorized and learned the whole episode where Rory talks about whiskey and Scotland. That's every episode. That's in every episode.

Scotland Freedom, Band 9 score. Quality. Along the way. Okay. I think that we should make, we should write one more sentence to make the overall statement. I don't think we need to do anything. How many words do we have women? We have 169. Paranoia. All the paranoia. I am recording myself saying the word paranoia to test the mic. Such as

what can teachers do to make students obey the rules? Beat them. Slap them in the faces. Get them a good punch to the throat. What's a popular activity for people in your country in the evenings. B, but, b, b, b-b-p-g-n, no, sorry. I am allergic to b-b-b-it. And that's what I have just turned for two minutes. I have problems from childhood with my parents. With my f***ed.

With my, yes, I have baggage. Yeah, pomerio. Spokane, spokane. Oh, boy, this is so bad. Oh, this is really bad. This is really bad. This is absolutely horrific. idea was this and why is the answer not me.

Thank you for sticking with us until the end of this episode but also the end of this year. Happy New Year when it comes or Happy New Year after it's arrived, depending on when you're choosing to listen to us. Yeah, happy New Year. Let's stay together. Happy. Perhaps without horrible jokes, so more quality jokes. Yes, let's never do this again, shall we?

Oh, thank you so much. We love you. hugs and kisses. Bye.
