2:26 Any others?
2:27 Number 2, cabrio.
2:33 Interesting.
2:33 Cabrio or cabriolet.
2:35 Okay.
2:38 Maiyamak Sharma, super open sedan.
2:42 Sedan.
2:46 I think you mean sedan with an S.
2:50 Let me help you.
2:52 There you go.
2:58 Oh, that's interesting.
2:59 Number 3 is a SYV.
3:02 Number 4 is a Jeep.
3:04 We've had a few people saying Jeep.
3:15 SUV.
3:15 Haha, Cherry, I like that.
3:17 Number 1, my future car.
3:20 Lovely.
3:23 Number 3, a limo.
3:24 A limo, ooh, could be.
3:29 Convertible for number 2, interesting.
3:33 Corvette, Chevrolet, Cadillac, Jeep.
3:38 So this is why I changed type for kind.
3:41 We'll discuss this in a moment.
3:45 Sports, cabriolet, sedan, crossover.
3:49 Okay, great.
3:49 Wow, lots of comments and contributions, really good.
3:52 Hiba says, I like driving a Range Rover.
3:59 Sport car, cabriolet, sedan, crossover.
4:04 Abdi Fata says luxury cars.
4:06 Maybe, maybe.
4:08 Okay, let me bring us back in here.
4:13 So, okay, what kind of cars are these?
4:17 Now, I'm going to give you my answers.
4:23 Yours may be slightly different,
4:25 but the important thing is to notice why we've got these answers.
4:29 Okay, let me explain.
4:32 So number one, right, a sports car.
4:38 Number one, I would say, is a sports car.
4:41 You said a supercar.
4:42 You could say a supercar.
4:45 It could be a racing car, possibly.
4:49 I'm not sure.
4:50 I don't think it's a Formula One racing car,
4:52 but it could be a racing car, but definitely a sports car.
4:56 Definitely.
4:56 A coupe, or a coupé, as they sometimes call it.
5:00 So I think all of those are absolutely fine, absolutely good.
5:05 Sports car, supercar, possibly a racing car, a coupe.
5:10 Number 2, a convertible.
5:14 Now, number 2, I don't think is a sports car.
5:17 I think number 1 is more your sports car.
5:21 Just because number 2 has the open roof,
5:24 I don't think that makes it a sports car, but a convertible.
5:27 Now, a lot of you have said number 2 is cabriolet or a cabrio.
5:34 What else did we have?
5:35 Cabriolet, cabrio, cabriolet.
5:41 Yes, I'll come to that in a moment.
5:43 I'll explain in a moment.
5:47 You're probably right, yes.
5:50 Number 3, a saloon or a sedan.
5:53 I don't think it's big enough to be a limo
5:56 but basically in England we say a saloon.
6:00 I think a sedan is more an American term, but it's the same thing.
6:05 Similar to a hatchback but not quite the same, but you've got 4 doors.
6:09 So here's the big difference, right?
6:11 4 doors.
6:13 Number 1 and number 2 are normally 2-door cars with the back,
6:18 maybe 3, but number 3 here is a 4-door and a back,
6:23 a boot.
6:25 A saloon, not salon, but a saloon or a sedan.
6:31 Okay, it is, it could be a hatchback, but I don't think it is,
6:35 but it could possibly be.
6:36 It's hard to tell from this angle.
6:38 I'll explain the difference in a moment, right?
6:41 What else do we get for number 3?
6:43 Somebody said a Cadillac.
6:46 Yeah, Cadillac is the make of car,
6:49 which is different from the kind of car.
6:53 So the kind of car is, you know, is it sports, convertible, saloon?
6:59 Different from make, model, and type.
7:04 So the make is, for example, Toyota is a make, right?
7:09 The Corolla is the model.
7:12 The type is an SUV.
7:15 So be careful with, with the make.
7:17 If you're talking about, I don't know BYD or Toyota or Ford or whatever,
7:25 Volkswagen, all of those are makes of cars.
7:28 The model is, is the common name people use for it.
7:31 I've got a Corolla, I've got a Ford Focus or a Ford Fiesta,
7:37 an SUV or a Jeep.
7:39 But Jeep is the model, if I understand correctly.
7:42 I'm— I think Range Rover would be the company, right?
7:48 Okay, so coming back, 3, 4, SUV.
7:52 This, this kind of car is an SUV.
7:55 It's got a kind of a raised chassis, the raised body.
7:59 So the body is raised in order to go off-road much more.
8:04 That's the kind of SUV.
8:06 Okay, so I would agree 100% with La La La.
8:14 Great, who has got here sports car, convertible, sedan, and an SUV, right?
8:20 Spot on.
8:22 Okay, good.
8:23 Now let's find out.
8:24 I'm sure we've got lots of experts who are gonna Help me here.
8:29 Why an SUV?
8:31 Because it's a, what they call a sport utility vehicle.
8:36 So it's, it's more for sport.
8:38 So like when you're going up the mountain or you're going off the road,
8:42 you've got basically higher body.
8:45 Usually you've got a four-wheel drive.
8:49 So most cars are the, the two-wheel drive.
8:52 SUV will have four-wheel drive, so it has more power.
8:57 So I think that makes it an SUV.
9:02 Number 3, a four-seater family car.
9:04 Could be, yep, four-seater or five-seater, or a four-seater family car.
9:09 Number 3 is the common family choice, right?
9:13 Really, for, for very, very many people.
9:17 The make is basically the company.
9:19 Yes, exactly.
9:21 The make is the, is this, is the company.
9:23 Yeah.
9:23 What make car do you have?
9:24 I've got a Toyota.
9:29 So SUV is sports utility vehicle.
9:37 Yep.
9:37 Let me go through.
9:38 So let's just have a look at some of the vocabulary.
9:42 Different types of car.
9:44 I'm going to change that.
9:44 Different kinds of car.
9:46 Well, types is fine.
9:47 Types or kind.
9:49 Saloon or sedan is basically the same.
9:52 In the UK we tend to say saloon more.
9:57 A sedan has a separate walled-off trunk or a boot.
10:03 So again, the boot is the back of the car.
10:07 It's where you put the luggage or your shopping or the rubbish.
10:13 The boot is, is the UK word.
10:16 Trunk is the US word, the American word.
10:22 So the saloon and the sedan have a separate trunk.
10:26 It's walled off.
10:27 The hatchback is very similar,
10:30 but it has a single open cabin and cargo area.
10:34 So the boot and the seating area are the same area.
10:39 Basically, you can push the back seats down to extend the boot area.
10:46 Now, I didn't really know this
10:48 because my car— I have a Ford Focus— I thought it was a,
10:53 a saloon, but actually it's a hatchback because you've got the, the driving seat,
10:58 the whole passenger area, what they call the cabin.
11:03 So the driver, the back seats, the cabin, and the boot is one area.
11:09 I can push the passenger seats down and that becomes one big area.
11:13 So I can put a 2-meter door in my car,
11:17 it'll fit just about.
11:20 It hits you in the back of the head, but it's, it's a hatchback,
11:23 so it's got a long and open cabin area, right?
11:28 That's the hatchback.
11:29 The saloon and the sedan, it— the, the— there's a cutoff.
11:33 They've got the cabin area and the boot is separate, it's walled, separate area.
11:38 So your boot is smaller, basically.
11:42 So that is the difference, okay?
11:45 If you're interested, sports car, convertible, and a coupé, similar.
11:51 So a sports car is a two-seater, I think,
11:54 and they usually sit lower to the ground, right?
11:56 They need better suspension to be closer to the ground.
12:00 Convertible has a roof that you can open.
12:03 That's as simple as that.
12:04 That you the roof opens, it's convertible.
12:08 Not necessarily a sports car.
12:10 A coupe is a passenger car with a sloping truncated roof line,
12:16 usually 2 doors, 2 rows of seats, normally.
12:20 So that's a coupe.
12:22 So these are similar again.
12:24 SUV, sport utility vehicle, it has off-road features, we call them.
12:29 So you've got that raised body, higher seat, and all-wheel drive,
12:35 or four-wheel drive, usually.
12:37 Okay, it seems like you understand about cars probably more than me.
12:45 Hopefully now, just a bit more.
12:49 If you're interested, I mean, you may or may not be,
12:51 but there's some— these are the— I did a bit of research,
12:56 and just to understand,
12:57 these are some different links you can look at It explains the difference between
13:01 a hatchback and a sedan.
13:04 So you can have a look if you're interested for the details.
13:08 And just to be clear, for your IELTS Speaking,
13:11 you don't need all the details.
13:13 But if you are interested, you can look at the difference here,
13:17 the hatchback or the sedan.
13:19 Which one should you buy?
13:20 Well, it depends how much money.
13:22 But you can see the hatchback here, the cabin area is all one area,
13:27 right?
13:29 Whereas the sedan is not.
13:34 We've also got, if you want to look at different kinds of car,
13:39 I've chosen the website from Kia.
13:41 I don't— not— I'm not a Kia person.
13:45 I don't have a Kia car,
13:47 but this website actually explains the different types of cars very, very well.
13:52 Talks about the SUV, talks about the hatchback like mine crossover,
13:59 which is combining different kinds of car your convertible there,
14:04 you can see without the roof you've got the sedan, the classic family car.
14:10 This is your sports car, lower, much lower,
14:15 often a two-seater but not always.
14:19 And that's the coupe.
14:20 You can see the roof, that sloping roof is cut off.
14:23 So that's a different kind of car as well.
14:35 Yes, and there you've got the minivan.
14:36 There are different kinds.
14:37 Yeah, very, very good.
14:40 Superzardo, I like your comment.
14:42 That's a really good comment.
14:42 Thank you very much for sharing that.
14:44 Someone is asking, why do I say an SUV?
14:48 And that's the answer, because S is pronounced S,
14:52 so it's treated like a vowel sound, right?
14:54 So we say an SUV.
14:57 You say a sport utility vehicle, but an SUV, because S is like,
15:05 it begins with a vowel sound.
15:07 Superzardo, you are super excellent.
15:10 Thank you very much for sharing and clarifying.
15:13 Okay, so just to be clear, if you're doing IELTS Speaking,
15:17 you do not need to be an expert, right?
15:21 If you only know the make of the car or the company, that's fine.
15:27 You know, "What kind of cars do you like?"
15:34 Toyotas, Ford, I like Volkswagen."
15:36 It's fine.
15:38 If you want, you can talk about the kind or type of car.
15:42 You know, I, I have a big family, so we have an SUV.
15:45 I often go into the mountains, so we need an SUV.
15:50 Or with our family, we've got the classic saloon,
15:54 which is perfect for a family of 2 or 3 or 4.
15:58 So just a little bit of vocabulary can really help you,
16:02 but you don't need things like the cabin area, the boot,
16:08 the four-wheel drive.
16:10 You don't need all of that, but if you're interested, absolutely learn it, right?
16:18 If you are interested in cars.
16:21 So this is giving you the option, right?
16:24 If you want to go deeper,
16:25 you can find out all about it here in this lesson
16:29 and in the PDF.
16:30 Of course, this PDF you'll get later on the website.
16:33 As I said, and this is recorded
16:36 so you can get it later on the website.
16:40 Okay, good.
16:42 There are other kinds of cars.
16:43 Now, these words I think are very, very, very useful.
16:47 Different kinds of cars.
16:48 You may talk about an electric car, right?
16:52 I have an electric car.
16:55 Driverless cars or self-driving cars are becoming more and more popular.
17:03 A manual car has a gear stick and you manually change gear, right?
17:15 Automatic automatically changes gear, so you don't need to worry about it.
17:24 The gear is the stick to increase speed.
17:34 Basically, you can go to— we say to be in first gear to be
17:40 in second gear,
17:41 third gear, fourth gear, to change gear, right?
17:46 So the gears are basically the speed.
17:49 It's the same word if you're on a bicycle.
17:52 Or in a car, you've got gears.
17:56 On a bike, on a bike you may have 10 or 15 gears.
18:00 In a car you'll have 4 or 5, possibly 6 gears.
18:05 Oh, 7, because you've got reverse gear as well.
18:09 But useful words: a manual car, right?
18:12 So I have a manual, I have a manual what, a manual car, yeah.
18:19 You could say, I've got a manual SUV, for example.
18:25 My wife has an automatic she's got a Toyota actually.
18:40 So there you go, manual, automatic, electric.
18:46 And this, I think, when you're talking about society and Tesla,
18:50 it could be interesting.
18:51 Part 3 questions about cars will often talk about, you know,
18:54 this change in society and the move towards driverless cars or self-driving cars.
19:02 Pros and cons.
19:04 Very interesting.
19:09 Okay, so I think this kind of vocabulary, yes, but absolutely very, very useful.
19:16 Yes, Wahid, very good.
19:17 Autonomous car or driverless car, and sometimes self-driving.
19:22 I think it's the same thing.
19:23 I think— okay, great.
19:27 Okay, now vocabulary.
19:30 Let's move from vocabulary to a different activity.
19:36 Let's move into listening.
19:36 It is me.
