IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Smriti Rana.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Smriti.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you like running?
Honestly speaking, I’ve never given a thought to it. I’m not too fond of it because each running session drains my energy.
Have you ever taken a running class?
No. I dread to think of having to run around 10 km daily. I don’t think I’ll ever take part in any running class in the foreseeable future.
When was your last long run?
I haven’t run since my last physical education class in my second year. Now I’m in my 3rd year. Thus, my last long run was like one year and a half ago.
Why do people need to run?
Running has been scientifically proved to be one of the very few sports which requires nearly all the muscles to function, thus benefiting almost the whole body. Therefore, people need to run to stay healthy.
Where do you think is a good place to run?
Without a doubt, parks are the most ideal for runs. Since an enormous amount of oxygen is needed when running, it is better to run inside a place where the air is fresh and has enough oxygen rather than polluted with carbon dioxide.
Do you think running is a good way to stay healthy?
While the gym is eclipsing running in terms of popularity nowadays, I believe running is an effective way to stay healthy. It is also more economical than gym.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a difficult challenge you met
You should say:
What it was
When you met it
Where you met it
And explain why you think it is a challenge
SAMPLE ANSWER
Today I’m going to describe a challenge I confronted recently. I usually go out for a walk in the evening every day and sometimes play some outdoor games. Still, the outdoor activity that I did for the first time last month was mountain climbing which was of another level of difficulty.
At that time, after completing the arduous end-of-term examination, I was invited by a friend to go climbing on a mountain. He’d been doing it for about six months, and I had asked him about it once as I was curious whether mountain climbing requires a lot of stamina. At that time, I wanted to get away from it all and preferred going somewhere offs the beaten track. I accepted his request without hesitation and even bought some suitable clothes for this activity. It was great fun.
Although I was a little scared at first, apprehensive, to be exact, my special instructor was experienced, and I started practising on the ground and very low on the wall to gain confidence. However, the reality did not seem that easy, as the route to reach the mountain peak was in twists and turns. We almost felt the terminal point was approaching, but it was endless. I got a little exhausted and had to lean against a tree. My friend encouraged me to hold on, take a deep breath and only think about the mountain peak to continue to climb.
Well, first of all, it was a wholly new and somehow adventurous experience for me. Climbing a mountain is as similar as overcoming each obstacle in your life. When I reached the top of the mountain, I felt a great sense of refreshment and my mind was momentarily away from all burdens and other distractions. Though undeniably exciting, mountain climbing requires a level of advanced preparation and physical fitness that few other activities can equal. I have gained more confidence after conquering such a demanding challenge.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think parents should give kids challenges?
Well, I do think so, and the reasons are manifold. Young people must be pushed by their parents to be the best they can be, in whatever pursuit they take part in Challenges and cut-throat competition prepare children for the real world. If you want a good job or a good salary, you have to compete with others.
What challenges do you think children might have to face up to? What is the most challenging thing for kids?
There are many difficulties youngsters are presented nowadays. For me, they are under intense pressure to find a productive place within society – either within the mainstream education system or satisfactory employment. The emphasis on acquiring accomplishments, status and wealth at a young age is by no means easy for them.
Can parents reduce the challenges that kids have? Why?
They should, to a certain extent. They should adequately ensure that their children, foremost, have fun, which will encourage them to stay interested and motivated in the achievement activity. Otherwise, by providing their children with challenges in which they are overmatched, parents may be inadvertently inhibiting, rather than facilitating, their interest, achievement, and enjoyment in the activity.
