IELTS Speaking Test
Which animal do you find interesting?
There are many wild and pet animals to choose from but I find monkeys the most interesting. They are the hoppers, the go-getters, the friends. It is so easy to see them laughing with their friends or helping each other. Not only that, science predicts them to be closer to human species which makes them interesting to me.
What is your opinion about animals being kept in prison?
Keeping animals in captivity is one of the most horrendous of crimes humans do, in my opinion. We have become more greedy and selfish than ever before. For fulfilling our needs, we have taken away the habitats of animals forcing them into prisons. I have been to zoo few times and seen some of them depressed with their lifestyle.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you think government can do something about animals being kept in prison?
With the increasing human population and the human demands, freeing animals is not the most pragmatic thing to accept from our governments. But, I believe that animals should be kept in places closer to their habitats or similar to their habitat. Also, for animals on verge of extinction, special care must be taken.
How do you think government can protect animals from poachers, hunters, and people who kill animals for prey?
The government has to change their perspective from laws for people who kill towards how to protect. For instance, the security system must be tightened around the endangered species. Also, education can be used to impart the knowledge about different species. There can even be ad campaigns showing the different species and why they are important. Like, there are ads for smoking and cancer, so should be there for the safety of animals.
IELTS Speaking Test
What is your opinion for using animals as beasts of burden?
I would choose the grey color. One cannot deny that we do need animals for carrying our burden sometimes, like donkeys for carrying good or horses for traveling or ox for pulling carts. But, the problem is when we overdo it. Making a donkey bare a load more than he can carry or not give enough food is something that must be refrained from. Also, with the advancement in technology, one can obviously look for the other alternatives.
Do you think that the relationship between animals and humans is changing or is likely to change in future?
Times are definitely evolving and things and relationships around us are changing, including the one between humans and animals. In the fast-paced life that we now live, no one has the time left to have a pet or take care of animals around! In earlier days, people ensure they had water and food on their rooftops for the animals and gave away food the street dogs. Although in towns still there is a connection between animals and humans, in cities it is slowing fading away.

SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking Test
When I think about traveling with an elderly person, one memorable experience comes to mind. It was a couple of years ago during the summer when I traveled with my grandmother to a coastal town in Maine, USA. My grandmother, who was then in her late 80s, had always cherished the idea of revisiting the ocean, which she hadn’t seen in many years.
We embarked on a road trip from our home in Massachusetts to the charming seaside town of Bar Harbor. The journey itself was relatively short, only a few hours, but it felt like a significant adventure because it was my grandmother’s first trip in a long time due to her age and health.

Traveling with my grandmother was a mix of emotions. On one hand, I felt a sense of responsibility and concern, ensuring she was comfortable throughout the journey and during our stay. Yet, there was also a profound joy in witnessing her excitement and delight as she breathed in the salty air and listened to the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Her stories from her own youth spent near the sea added a layer of nostalgia to the experience, making me appreciate her life journey even more.
Overall, traveling with my grandmother was a precious opportunity to bond, to learn from her wisdom, and to create lasting memories together in a place that held such significance for her.

I checked the weather forecasts, packed comfortable clothing for my companion, and ensured all necessary medications were readily accessible.

How did traveling with the older person change your perspective on travel?
Traveling with an older person taught me the importance of patience and empathy. It made me appreciate the journey itself rather than just focusing on the destination. Seeing the trip through their eyes, with all its challenges and joys, gave me a deeper understanding of how travel can enrich our lives at any age.

Yes, absolutely. Traveling with my companion allowed me to learn more about their past experiences, preferences, and stories that shaped their life. It deepened our connection and created lasting memories that we both cherish.
