IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your name?
My name is Ramanpreet Kumar.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here you go.
Do you like to travel?
Yes, absolutely. Travelling is my top hobby because whenever I travel, I can meet and get to know many new people from different cultures and nations, which helps me to broaden my horizons.
Do you often travel by air?
No, not much. Travelling by air too often is out of my reach for a student like me. However, I do travel by air once or twice a year to an ASEAN member because the airfares to these destinations are quite affordable.
How long was the longest trip you took?
I went on a 9-day trip to Thailand and this was my longest trip ever. I spent 3 days in Bangkok, 2 days in Pattaya and 3 days in Phuket. The remaining one day was allocated for moving.
Which country would you like to travel to in the future?
Italy is my dream destinations it is home to the most stunning churches in the world. Also, I love the Italian culture, language and friendly people whom I’ve met in Vietnam.
Would you like to travel to space?
Yes, it sounds a bit weird and scary though. I am curious about how other planets look and how I would be when there is no gravity. This idea really scares me off but as it sounds pretty intriguing, I would like to try travelling to space once.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a leisure activity you do with your family
You should say
– What it is
– When you do it
– Where you do it
– And explain how you feel about it
SAMPLE ANSWER
My family fancies at cooking, and we always prefer home cooked food. We feast on weekends. However, I would like to talk about the time when my family gathered to make Chung cake for the Tet holiday.
The Lunar New Year, or Tet, is a traditional holiday in my country. It was probably my most favourite holiday when I was a small boy as my family did a lot of activities to celebrate this occasion. Among them, making Chung cake made me excited the most. Traditionally, we always make Chung Cake 2 days before Lunar New Year.
We had a big yard behind our house, and it was where Chung Cake was made, from preparing ingredients, to shaping the cake. I still remember helping my parents prepare the ingredients for the cake while my older brother was in charge of shaping the cake. And then, my father lit a small fire to boil the cake overnight. It was perhaps the only time of the year when I was allowed to stay up late.
In recent years, my family has not had enough time to make Chung cake. However, to me, a ready- made Chung cake bought from a local market cannot bring the warmth and taste of a Chung cake made from home. I hope that my family can continue the tradition in the coming years.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do men and women enjoy the same leisure activities?
I don’t think so. I believe that men and women are born with distinct characteristics and personalities; therefore, their choices of leisure activities might also differ from each other. For example, while men tend to be involved in sporty activities, women prefer shopping or eating out with their friends to playing sports.
What types of leisure activities are popular in your country?
Well, there is undoubtedly a wide variety of hobbies in my country. I think the most popular would be travelling. For example, a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life to coastal cities on weekends can help people relieve stress.
Why is it important for people to have time for leisure activities?
Spending time on leisure activities plays a vital role in shaping people’s state of health. It helps us recharge our energy after a nerve-wracking day, and avoids getting overloaded. For example, reading books when you have free time enables you to let off some steam after working under a lot of pressure.
Why are some activities more popular than others?
It is quite natural that people would prefer some sorts of leisure activities than others. I believe that the history and socio-cultural background of a nation influences the type of leisure activities people do. For example, teenagers in some Asian countries often make kites and fly them while this is not the case in many western countries.
