IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW

PART – 1 INTRO PART

What is your full name?

My name is Manraj Partap.

How may I address you?

You may address me as Manraj.

May I see your ID?

Sure, here it is.

Do you prefer relaxing at home or going out in the evening? [Why?]
I like to go outside and enjoy a stroll in the evening. However, if you ask me what relaxes me the most, I would say – a good book, a cup of coffee and my room are the best compositions for my relaxation.

When you go out for an evening, what do you like to do?
I like to walk for about an hour each evening. This way I can enjoy some outside views and finish my daily exercise. I often go to a park and the natural sceneries, and colours of flowers refresh my mind. Sometimes I have friends who also enjoy walking in the evening and we discuss so many topics while we walk beside a lake or inside a park.

How popular is this with other people in your country?
I think young people mostly play different types of games in the evening and people over 40 like to walk. Though I am 22, I like to walk in the evening rather than playing football, the most popular sport in my country. In terms of the ratio of the people who walk in the evening, it seems like it is a popular activity.

Is there any kind of entertainment you do not like? [Why/Why not?]
Yes, there are a few forms of entertainment I do not like at all. For instance, I do not like to kills hours after hours watching TV or scrolling through Facebook posts. Watching TV for a long and browsing Facebook posts often kill valuable times that could have been better utilised. Besides, playing risky games that poses health hazards are on my dislike list.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

Describe a situation when you had to keep silent.

You should say:

– who is she

– where she is from

– what she does for others

– and explain why you like her.

SAMPLE ANSWER

Naturally, I am a talkative person and I believe that I have got this quality (not sure if it’s a good or bad one) from my mother who likes to have interesting conversations with people around her. Being silent is not my cup of tea and I don’t feel like being in my comfort zone when I can’t express my thoughts. But at some points or situations in life, we have no other options except to remain silent. Unfortunately, I was in that position in a drama stage at my University. I will tell you the story now.

The Cultural and Art faculty students were holding a drama to celebrate our independence day a couple of years ago and I happened to be a part of this performance. So I was present there and everything was going smoothly. Everyone was working very hard to attain perfection in both ‘stage appearance’ and ‘acting’. My part was to supervise the actors’ dialogues, which was my favourite zone in the entire process.

Finally, the time was near for the drama to be performed on the stage. Suddenly, the director announced that one of the actors was unable to perform her role due to her health condition. So the director forced me to play the part as a replacement for her because it was just before the final call to be staged. The role was to play “dead” as a freedom fighter at a stage, and “dead people” don’t talk! They remain silent for eternity.

However, I did not remain silent for eternity as the drama ended in an hour. But at that time it felt like it was forever. Playing dead was not an easy task for me. In the entire time, I had to remain silent on the stage, while everyone was uttering their dialogues and fairing the script with their facial expressions. I was bursting with inner irreconcilable senses. But I eventually realized that it had to be done for the sake of the perfect scene in the show. After all, the show must go no.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

Do you need a quiet place when you are working?

Yes, I do appreciate a quiet place when I’m working, but unfortunately it is not always possible. So I’ve got used to some amount of noise around me

Why do people like to spend time in quiet places?

People like to spend time in quiet places because sometimes they want to be with themselves, then they go to quiet places, and feel relieved of their stress.
