IELTS PEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Hakirat Kaur.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Harkirat.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
How did you reach the examination centre?
After I left my home earlier in the morning, I booked a Uber car and it dropped me in front of the exam venue. So it was easier for me to reach the exam centre on time.
Do you like travelling? Where have you travelled too lately?
Yes, I do like travelling very much. Travelling gives me first-hand experience of diverse places, people and their culture and ways of life. I would like to travel more often in the future. I went to Hong Kong to have some business deals two months ago. This is the latest tour I have had.
How do you usually travel?
I usually travel in a private car that my family owns whenever I need to move within the city. As renting a car from Uber is really convenient these days, I often book a car from Uber if someone else in my family needs to use our private car. However, I take a train or a bus when I need to travel to somewhere far away. While travelling to a different country, air travel is the way to go.
What are the most common types of transportation run on the roads in your town?
Well, private cars and public buses are the two most common types of vehicles in my town. Taxis and trams are also available for us to use. To reach a faraway destination within the city one can also take a metro rail. The Uber has, however, made the car journey popular among people who are daily commuters and like to share a ride.
What kind of places do you like to visit?
I like to visit sites and areas which are either naturally beautiful or historically important. In particular, sea beaches, mountains and old historic places are at the top of my list.
Do you think that the new transportation system should be introduced in your city? Why?
I don’t think that new transportation systems would be required in my city right now especially because Uber has filled the gap. However, the existing transportation system like public bus and tram should be renovated. The number of such public transportations should also be increased for the convenience of commuters.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Sydney is my favourite city among the cities I have visited so far. Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales of Australia. This city is situated on the bank of Tasman Sea and has around 4.6 million people. I have visited this city in 2008 after I finished my graduation and loved my stay there.
Sydney had many attractive natural areas, botanic gardens, parks, and high rising buildings. This city has many heritage listed buildings that attract the tourists and visitors. The Sydney Opera House is one of the most recognised landmarks in Australia and is a great place to visit.
This city is known for the dynamic cultural hub and it has many famous museums, galleries and art galleries as well. Because of the great architecture, warm weather and hundreds of tourists attraction more than 11 million international and domestic tourists visit this city each year. I had been there for about 15 days and I really enjoyed everything about this city.
I stayed at a 20 storied hotel that offered a really amusing sight views. The transportation system of the city is better than many other cities and I could have been maintaining the track and time of my schedule because of that. I loved being at open & wide spaces in the gardens and parks. People are welcoming and friendly there. A tourist can get necessary help both from people and the authority and can roam easily without any interruption. I saw 2/3 art museum and some cultural festivals and those were awesome.
There are so many places to be, so many things to do in Sydney. Some of the attractive places are Royal Botanic Garden, Hyde Park, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney Town hall, Macquarie Lighthouse, Australia Square, Sydney Opera House and so on.
I had a tremendous vacation in Sydney and I liked most of the places there and I enjoyed so much that I did not even notice how quickly the 2 weeks scheduled time has passed.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
In your opinion what are the negative aspects of crowded cities?
A crowded city is often polluted and expensive to live in. In terms of sound, air and environmental pollution, a crowded city has a lot worse scenario than cities with less population. Many crowded cities have more crime rates and unbearable traffic congestion. Overpopulation increases the prices of daily commodities and it is comparatively expensive to live in a city with a higher population.
Would you like to live in the city you spoke about?
Yes, definitely. This is a stunning city with many beautiful places. People are nice and this city offers an excellent environment and lifestyle, not to mention the quality of education. So yes, I would like to live in this city for sure.
What are the advantages of living in a big city?
A big city offers better job opportunity, entertainment facility, many excellent educational institutions, better shopping malls and business opportunity. The traffic and streets are strictly monitored and there are law-enforcing officers to help in case someone needs them. Also, the living standard is better in a big city and modern technology and facilities are easily available there. In my opinion, a big city is a better place to live in.
