He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here\u2019s a fun fact about Eliot: When he was young, his family took annual road trips criss-crossing the United States. <\/p>\n<h3>Eliot Intro<\/h3>\n<p>Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today\u2019s show. I\u2019m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh, and thanks to those road trips, I\u2019ve driven through every U.S. state except Alaska. Which is to say I\u2019ve spent a lot of time with my family. Today, we\u2019re going to look at four words that are going to help you to understand the kind of language you\u2019re going to see in the listening passages on your IELTS exam.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words.<br \/>\nThe theme for the words in today\u2019s episode is family, and how to describe family members and family dynamics. <\/p>\n<h3>Spouse<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, spouse is the first word on the list. So let\u2019s start with that one, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Spouse, what does it mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, a spouse is a husband or wife. So your spouse is the person you are married to. <\/p>\n<p>If two people are married to each other, they are each others\u2019 spouses. Spouse is a gender-neutral word, unlike the word husband, which refers to someone\u2019s spouse who is a man, or the word wife, which refers to someone\u2019s spouse who is a woman. The word spouse can be used in place of either husband or wife, but the words husband and wife can only be used in place of the word spouse depending on whether the spouse is a man or a woman. <\/p>\n<p>So if someone asks you if you have a spouse, they\u2019re asking if you\u2019re married. And if you are married, the person you\u2019re married to is your spouse. <\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s spouse.<\/p>\n<h3>In-laws<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is in-laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn-laws\u201d is the word used to describe the relatives of your husband or wife \u2014 that is, your spouse. In-laws are the relatives of your spouse. They are called in-laws because they are your relatives by law, rather than by blood, as a result of you marrying into their family. <\/p>\n<p>You would refer to each of your in-laws by their relationship to your spouse, followed by the word \u201cin-law\u201d. So for example, your spouse\u2019s brother is your brother-in-law, your spouse\u2019s sister is your sister-in-law, your spouse\u2019s mother is your mother-in-law, and your spouse\u2019s father is your father-in-law, and so on. <\/p>\n<p>Although you are not genetically related to your in-laws, you are legally considered to be part of the same family, once you are married to your spouse. <\/p>\n<p>Okay? So that\u2019s in-laws.<\/p>\n<h3>Sibling<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is sibling.<\/p>\n<p>A sibling is each of two or more children that has one or both parents in common. So a sibling is a brother or sister.<\/p>\n<p>Like spouse, sibling is a gender-neutral word. Whereas the word spouse can be used in place of the male-gendered word husband, and the female-gendered word wife, sibling can be used in the place of the male-gendered word brother, and the female-gendered word sister. <\/p>\n<p>So if you wanted to talk about any of your parents\u2019 children (other than yourself) you could use the word sibling — but you could also get more specific and say brother or sister, depending on the gender of the sibling you\u2019re talking about. <\/p>\n<p>Okay? So that\u2019s sibling.<\/p>\n<h3>Sibling Rivalry<\/h3>\n<p>Just like last time, the final word of the day is actually a phrase\u2014and it\u2019s sibling rivalry.<\/p>\n<p>Sibling rivalry is a feeling of competition between siblings. Generally siblings will compete to be better than each other at a certain skill or to get a greater share of attention from their parents — especially when they are young children. However some sibling rivalries last all the way through adulthood. <\/p>\n<p>Sibling rivalry is a possible topic not just on the IELTS Listening section, but also in the IELTS Speaking Interview, and possibly in IELTS Writing Task 2. You may be asked to speak or write about the relationship between siblings, so sibling rivalry is a good phrase to know the meaning of\u2014it\u2019s a great phrase to use when describing the competitiveness between children in a family. <\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s sibling rivalry.<\/p>\n<h3>Outro<\/h3>\n<p>Great!

He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here\u2019s a fun fact about Eliot: When he was young, his family took annual road trips criss-crossing the United States. <\/p>\n<h3>Eliot Intro<\/h3>\n<p>Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today\u2019s show. I\u2019m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh, and thanks to those road trips, I\u2019ve driven through every U.S. state except Alaska. Which is to say I\u2019ve spent a lot of time with my family. Today, we\u2019re going to look at four words that are going to help you to understand the kind of language you\u2019re going to see in the listening passages on your IELTS exam.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words.<br \/>\nThe theme for the words in today\u2019s episode is family, and how to describe family members and family dynamics. <\/p>\n<h3>Spouse<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, spouse is the first word on the list. So let\u2019s start with that one, okay?<\/p>\n<p>Spouse, what does it mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, a spouse is a husband or wife. So your spouse is the person you are married to. <\/p>\n<p>If two people are married to each other, they are each others\u2019 spouses. Spouse is a gender-neutral word, unlike the word husband, which refers to someone\u2019s spouse who is a man, or the word wife, which refers to someone\u2019s spouse who is a woman. The word spouse can be used in place of either husband or wife, but the words husband and wife can only be used in place of the word spouse depending on whether the spouse is a man or a woman. <\/p>\n<p>So if someone asks you if you have a spouse, they\u2019re asking if you\u2019re married. And if you are married, the person you\u2019re married to is your spouse. <\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s spouse.<\/p>\n<h3>In-laws<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is in-laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn-laws\u201d is the word used to describe the relatives of your husband or wife \u2014 that is, your spouse. In-laws are the relatives of your spouse. They are called in-laws because they are your relatives by law, rather than by blood, as a result of you marrying into their family. <\/p>\n<p>You would refer to each of your in-laws by their relationship to your spouse, followed by the word \u201cin-law\u201d. So for example, your spouse\u2019s brother is your brother-in-law, your spouse\u2019s sister is your sister-in-law, your spouse\u2019s mother is your mother-in-law, and your spouse\u2019s father is your father-in-law, and so on. <\/p>\n<p>Although you are not genetically related to your in-laws, you are legally considered to be part of the same family, once you are married to your spouse. <\/p>\n<p>Okay? So that\u2019s in-laws.<\/p>\n<h3>Sibling<\/h3>\n<p>The next word is sibling.<\/p>\n<p>A sibling is each of two or more children that has one or both parents in common. So a sibling is a brother or sister.<\/p>\n<p>Like spouse, sibling is a gender-neutral word. Whereas the word spouse can be used in place of the male-gendered word husband, and the female-gendered word wife, sibling can be used in the place of the male-gendered word brother, and the female-gendered word sister. <\/p>\n<p>So if you wanted to talk about any of your parents\u2019 children (other than yourself) you could use the word sibling — but you could also get more specific and say brother or sister, depending on the gender of the sibling you\u2019re talking about. <\/p>\n<p>Okay? So that\u2019s sibling.<\/p>\n<h3>Sibling Rivalry<\/h3>\n<p>Just like last time, the final word of the day is actually a phrase\u2014and it\u2019s sibling rivalry.<\/p>\n<p>Sibling rivalry is a feeling of competition between siblings. Generally siblings will compete to be better than each other at a certain skill or to get a greater share of attention from their parents — especially when they are young children. However some sibling rivalries last all the way through adulthood. <\/p>\n<p>Sibling rivalry is a possible topic not just on the IELTS Listening section, but also in the IELTS Speaking Interview, and possibly in IELTS Writing Task 2. You may be asked to speak or write about the relationship between siblings, so sibling rivalry is a good phrase to know the meaning of\u2014it\u2019s a great phrase to use when describing the competitiveness between children in a family. <\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s sibling rivalry.<\/p>\n<h3>Outro<\/h3>\n<p>Great!
