IELTS SPEAKING TEST
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My full name is Jashanpreet Singh.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you like writing by hand?
As far as I am concerned, writing is just a tool. Albeit whether it’s handwriting, or using typing my handwriting is not that good, and sometimes I even find it hard to read what I have written. I guess what I am trying to say is that I do not have strong feelings either way.
IELTS Speaking Test
How often do you write with a pen?
I hardly ever use a pen and if I do, it’s normally to make a short note to remind me to do something. Just about everything I write nowadays is done using a computer. In fact, I used to be able to handwrite for hours on end, but currently, if I write for longer than five minutes my hand really starts to hurt.
Do you prefer to handwrite or type?
To be perfectly frank, I am sitting on the fence with this question. Handwriting can be done anywhere and at any time as long as you have a pen and paper and enough light. Using a computer on the other hand is limited by the availability of electricity. Even if you are using a laptop there will come a time when the device needs charging. Therefore, as far as I’m concerned. Both have a place in my life.
IELTS Speaking Test
Is your handwriting easy to read?
Sadly, no, it is often hard for people to decipher. My handwriting has never been legible and in fact, it has got worse because I seldom need to write nowadays. However, I have found that if I use a really good quality pen, the quality of my writing gets to be a lot easier to read.
What is your favourite wild animal?
I am a big fan of tigers. I think tigers are very majestic and powerful. I like their beautiful stripes and their fierce eyes. I also admire their hunting skills and their agility.
IELTS Speaking Test
When did you last see a wild animal?
If memory serves me correctly, I last saw a wild animal when I went on a safari trip in Africa last year. I saw many different kinds of animals, such as lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and rhinos. It was an amazing experience to see them in their natural habitat.
Do you like visiting zoos?
Yes, I’m really keen on visiting zoos. I think zoos are a great way to learn about different animals and their characteristics. I also think zoos can help raise awareness and protect endangered species. I enjoy seeing the animals up close and feeding them sometimes.
Does your country have a lot of wild animals?
No, my country doesn’t have a lot of wild animals. We have a small land area and a high population density. We have lost many of our native animals due to habitat loss, poaching, and pollution. We can only see a wild animal once in a blue moon.

PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a useful object in your home that you can’t live without.
You should say:
– What it is
– How often you use it
– How you use it
– And explain why you can’t live without it
SAMPLE ANSWER
There are many things which I have become so used to that I think would be difficult to live without, such as the cell phone, computer, microwave etc. One thing in my home that I really can’t live without is my electric kettle. I use it almost every day. The electric kettle is a simple thing. It’s like a pot, but it heats up water really quickly with electricity.
IELTS Speaking Test
I use it to make hot water for tea, coffee, or instant noodles. I also use it to make warm water for cleaning or sometimes for a quick hot water bottle when I feel a bit chilly. I use my electric kettle in the morning for a cup of tea to start the day.
During the day, I make a few more cups of tea or coffee, especially when I’m studying or working. It’s so easy to use – just fill it with water, plug it in, and in a few minutes, you have hot water. The reason I can’t live without it is that it makes my daily routine easier. I don’t have to wait for water to boil on the stove, and I can make a quick cup of something hot whenever I want. It’s like a small helper in my kitchen. Whenever I feel a bit tired or stressed, having a warm cup of tea made from my electric kettle makes everything feel better.
It’s not just an object; it’s a part of my daily comfort. Without it, I think my day would be a bit less cozy and a bit more challenging. In the end, my electric kettle is a simple thing, but it brings a lot of warmth and comfort to my daily life. It’s become an essential part of my home, and I can’t imagine not having it around. It’s the little things like this that make my home feel complete and make each day a bit more pleasant.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Why are children attracted to new things (such as electronics)?
I think everyone is attracted to new things nowadays. Children are attracted more so because for them everything is new and they are curious about things work. Another reason is that children want to possess or own the latest technology to show off to their friends and classmates.
Why do some grown-ups hate to throw out old things (such as clothes)?
Adults have a personal connection or a story attached to old things. For example, a sweater made by their mother or gifted by an aunt. They feel like they are losing a part of themselves when they throw them out as it is a reminder of their childhood and hence, they are hesitant. In today’s era of massproduced goods, there is no connection to products.
IELTS Speaking Test
Is the way people buy things affected? How?
Yes, people today buy things online. Moreover, like I said before we don’t have an emotional connection with products as in the past. Earlier, we felt a loss when something broke down. Now, it’s just an object, and breaking down is an opportunity to buy a newer version.
What do you think influences people to buy new things?
I think it’s just that as things get old, people get bored, and to renew their excitement, they buy a new thing. It also the influence of ads, which keep on reminding us that we are missing out if we don’t have the latest version of something.
