IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My name is Kadefa Jugla.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Kadefa.
May I see your identification?
Sure, here it is.
What types of music do you like to listen to? [Why?]
I mostly like rock music, country song and blues. However, I am not a fan of a specific type of music as I believe good music can be found in all genres, and as a music lover, I often try music from genres that I have little interests in. Thus I also try different artists and music bands. To illustrate, I am a great fan of Pink Floyd, whose songs have transcendent lyrics and that does not deter me from listening to Shania Twain, who has a completely different lyrics type.
At what times of day do you like to listen to music? [Why?]
I usually listen to music when I am on the road and have to sit idly due to bad traffic or walk in the morning. However, I do not have any specific daytime when I tune on to my favourite songs. In general, evening time suits me and I love to listen to music at that time. The reason I pick the time is that I can feel the transformation of the day into night and it is quite sensational. I feel an urge to listen to music to make the feeling more intense and enjoyable.

Did you learn to play a musical instrument when you were a child? [Why/Why not?]
I once tried to play the guitar and that’s primarily because I often noticed my younger uncle play it. I did not want to be a famous musician and never went to a music school. That’s why I had not developed the skill of playing a musical instrument. Though I tried to mimic my uncle and tried to learn to play the guitar, that did not go far.
Do you think all children should learn to play a musical instrument? [Why/Why not?]
I think music is a great way of expressing someone’s feelings and creating a harmony that others would love. But not all children show talents in music, nor do they aspire to. This is why we should not impose music classes or lessons to learn a musical instrument for all children.

SAMPLE ANSWER
There are so many days that are stressful when I am not able to understand why things are the way they are and why am I not able to do things. Although, often these days very soon get replaced by much brighter day, I remember one particular day that started off with great promises but turned out to be a one kind of a hell, when I just couldn’t respond to anything.
I woke up at around 5, did go to jogging and by 7 started off my work. I worked till 9 in the morning on my blog and then got ready to reach office. On reaching office, I started working on the project and when at around 1, someone just told that there is some work that needs to be done and I am responsible for it. So, just when I was about to go for my lunch, I had to I had to wait and do the work. The work got completed by 2:20 and I had to go to the training from 2:45 to 5:30.

In between, there were calls from family and friends and I could not pick them up. Not only was I exhausted but when I thought that I would go out and relax with my friends, I met some rude and upset faces. It took such a long time to make them believe that I was truly busy, but the sour remained. It was that day, when I was left alone, completely exhausted by work and with no one to comfort me.
By the end of the day, I decided to just let go off the feeling and went on to read Archies comics and ended the day, laughing off and having a good night sleep.
Which would you choose: A stressful job with very high pay or a relaxing job with considerably low pay? Why?
I think it would depend on the situation in which I am. So, if I have the money and I am not in an urgent need of it, I would prefer a relaxing job. But, if the choice is given between two jobs out of which one is what I love to do and the other is not, I would no matter how much stress is there, would go for a job that is close to my heart.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you suffer from stress when you have too much work to do?
Yes, sometimes I do. The most stressful days for me are the ones in which I have to work a lot and then there is no one whom I can talk to or fight with and comfort myself. I believe after every stressful or low moment, there should be a day where one can relax and just recharge oneself to be able to do more work.
How can you judge what is the right amount of stress for you?
There are times when I start crying for no reasons known and in those days I realize that I am stressed very much. Because, I don’t know the exact reason of my agony and it comes out in the form of pain. When things like these start happening at frequent times, I just realize that stress is getting over me. But, then there are times, when I am worried about something and I keep on working and going on about it, because I just am in so much fear of losing. I think stress of that kind is fine because it is very much motivating.
IELTS Speaking Interview
Do you keep your worries a secret from everyone?
Most of the times, yes I do. I don’t like troubling people with my issues but then there are times when things get out of my control and when that happen, I tend to share my sorrows with people who are very close to me. They are either my friends or sometimes I even write about it.
