Hello, Sunshine. I'm Mario. My name is Rory, and we're the host of the IELTH Speaking for Success podcast.

Oh, it's so nice. Thank you. It's nice when we share things. Oh, it's nice when we share things. Yes, let's talk about sharing. Yes, dear listener. Sharing is our topic. Sharing things.

Have you shared anything with others recently? Well, I usually split the bill with my friends on a pizza every Friday after yoga, which is quite nice. And we shared a bottle of champagne between us last weekend, actually. What kind of things do you think are not suitable for sharing? Maybe not something that's solely for individual use, like a toothbrush or something like that. That's just good hygiene. apart from that I'm not sure I'm not a very greedy person

so I don't mind letting people borrow things what kind of things do you like to share with others I'm quite happy to divide anything up with anyone whether it's a meal or chores at home especially if someone is in a bind and it helps them I like being helpful

did your parents teach you to share when you were a child I don't remember anything explicit about it oh actually no my brother and I used to get lectured if we were fighting over something like a toy or a book. It wasn't a common thing, but it did happen. Do you think you'll share more things in the future?

I certainly hope so. Like I said, I like helping people out with things. So divvying up stuff like responsibilities at home could be a very good thing. It is and should be in the future. It doesn't even need to be equal. It's all part of life's give and take. Maybe it's just a phase you're going through. You'll get over it.

Like, do we talk about sharing our heart, share our emotions? Share our feelings. Yeah, we share our feelings. But here I think it's probably just sharing physical objects, because that's what I talked about. So, dear listener, you can talk about sharing clothes or your phone, sharing your thoughts. And Rory told us about splitting the bill. So he paid for his pizza and his friend paid for his pizza. So they split the bill.

Yes. We split it in half. And you can also talk about sharing alcohol. Well, we shared a bottle of champagne between us. It could also be among us. But it doesn't have to just be for alcohol. It could be a normal drink. You can share anything between people or among people.

Things which are not suitable for sharing. Toothbrushes, underwear. So things like, you know, which are connected to our hygiene. Hygiene is this personal cleanliness. being clean. Yes, like dental hygiene, like tooth brushes, personal hygiene. And actually, hygiene is C1, so band 8. And you can say, like, I'm not a very greedy person.

Greedy people don't share anything. They keep everything to themselves. But I do share. Yeah, like greedy people want more food, money. So you can talk about sharing food, for example. Remember in friends, like Joey never shares food. And if we Google, like things you should never share with others, your past mistakes, the listener. Passwords.

Oh, we can talk about passwords. You don't share passwords with other people and, dear listener, you don't share earphones. So don't give your e-phones, your dirty e-phones to other people, okay? We shouldn't share financial information. your deepest fears. Towels. Oh, towels. Towers, like, it's connected to personal hygiene.

Underwear. Yeah, that makes sense. I've told you underwear. Don't give your underwear to other people. And don't wear other people's underwear. Public service denouncement from Maria. Do not wear under people's underwear. Well, according to Google.

According to Google. Oh, and one website, Median.com, like five things. you should never share with anyone, deepest fears, cherished dreams, never share good deeds of kindness. What? No, we don't like that. Well, maybe it's like not showing off. Sharing is not only about things, but also, you know, like fears, emotions, passwords. So, you know, like, be imaginative. Maybe you don't share other people with other people. Or you don't share your relatives or your boyfriends and girlfriends with others. You might have them in common though.

That just means that you know each other though. And you can say that I'm not a greedy person, I'm quite generous, so I don't mind letting people borrow things. So I give things to others, I share things with others, so people borrow things from me. I'm quite happy to divide anything. up with anyone. But that's another one that's got a good preposition.

So, share things between and divide something up. Yeah, very nice synonym. Lots of synonyms for sharing in this one. Yeah, dear listener, so Rory is super generous. So he divides up his meal, he divides up his chores. So Rory cleans the kitchen and somebody else cleans the bathroom, for example. Rory, what does it mean if someone is in a bind? Oh, it just means that someone needs help if they're in trouble.

Not like serious trouble, but they need help. Yeah, I'll listen to say, like, I'm ready to divide anything up if someone is in a bind, if someone is super busy. So I like being helpful. I'm a helpful person. I like to help out. So I like to help other people. You can talk about how you used to be lectured. on how to share things with others and yeah like as children parents usually tell us like give

your toy to other children like why should i give my toy to other children like i don't sense my toy i want to play with it but if you're not sharing you might be fighting or arguing over something yeah children are usually fighting over their toys or their things it's difficult for them to share So parents and teachers should teach them how to share things. And you can say like, yeah, I like helping people out. So I like being helpful or I like helping people out with things. I enjoy dividing up things. I enjoy sharing responsibilities in the home or at home.

So I like to divide up my responsibilities to delegate some responsibilities. to delegate some responsibilities to other people or just take on some responsibilities so I do this, you do this. It's all part of lives give and take. So that's a nice phrase. So we give and we take, we take and we give. You know, it's like tennis, you know, like ma-ma, mamma, mamma, mamma.

I think we've shared enough. Oh, we need to share a joke. Oh, do we though? Really? Yeah, we need a lame joke. Finally, you admit that they're not lame. Oh, yeah, Dielessna, here's a stupid joke for you, and Rory will explain the joke, okay? So I read it out and Rory explains the joke.

Why should you never share secrets with a burrito? Burrito, you know, dearest means Mexican food, a burrito. Yum, yum, yum, are you hungry? with the meat and chicken and stuff Why shouldn't you share a thing of the burrito? They tend to spill the beans. Spill the beans means to share things

that should not be shared and of course things spill out of the burrito. Yeah, a burrito in Mexico, usually. It's kind of like the same as a taco, a tortilla, filled with beans and meat, and stuff. So burritos spill the beans, but also spill the beans is an idiom to tell people secret information. I did you get the joke.

Why should you never share secrets with a burrito? They tend to spill the beans. Thank you very much for listening. Thank you very much for being tolerant. We'll see you next time. We'll get back to you in our next episode. Bye. Get no frills delivered.
