Polished transcript:

Male Female

Well, to be honest, there are a lot of times when I learned something new. But right now I'm going to talk about one of them, which was really interesting and fascinating for me. To be honest, I'm a really determined person, and every time I want to learn something. It was a couple of months ago when I was preparing for the IELTS examination. In the lesson, we discovered a theme about scientific experiments. We watched a video about making a bouncy egg, which was really interesting and something new for us. To make a bouncy egg, we needed a cup of vinegar to put the raw egg in. From the video, we learned that a girl put a raw egg in the cup, filled it with vinegar, and left it to sit for about, if I'm not mistaken, 10 or 20 minutes. After this period of time, she took it out of the cup, and the egg was bouncing, which was really interesting for us. This kind of experiment was truly fascinating.
