IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Gurkiran Kaur.
How may address you?
You may address me as Gurkiran.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Which language do you prefer to write in?
I prefer writing in English, because these days, a majority of written communication is carried out in English, only. In addition to this, in my occupation as well as in most other professions, English is the most preferred medium of communication. Hence, I do most of my written work in English. However, when required, I do write in my first language, and in my national language, also.
When did you start learn English?
I started learning English when I was in school. After leaving school, I took up my tertiary education in English, and even now, I keep updating myself on the latest developments in written and spoke English by reading books and by visiting English teaching websites.
Did you like to visit beaches/seashores?
Yes, I like visiting seashores because the climate there is fantastic. What’s more, I live in a city that is far away from sea. So, I get to take a break of 2-3 days from work, when I decide to visit the seashore. This is an additional reason for me to go out to the beach and enjoy with my family.
At what time of the year do you prefer visiting beaches?
I prefer visiting beaches in winter because the climate on seashores stays warmer and more humid compared to other inland areas, where the atmosphere in winter is cold and dry.
If given a chance, would you like to live at the seashore? Why?
I would certainly like to live on the seashore, because I like the climate there. I also enjoy various physical activities like jogging, sunbathing, boating, swimming, and beach volley ball, which can be enjoyed better on seashores.

SAMPLE ANSWER
The Internet has shrunk the whole world. People are connected with hundreds of friends and relatives through social networking apps and sites like Facebook and Whatsapp. Now face to face meetings have become very few, and people share their joys and sorrows through status updates on these sites.
Here, I would like to talk about the good news that I received from my cousin. It so happened that my cousin Prabhjeet, my maternal aunt’s son, who is in Chandigarh, put up his status that he was flying to Canada for his higher education after Senior secondary. I had met him about six months ago at a family function. But he hadn’t shared anything about his plan to go abroad.
Last month, I read his status that he had got his Visa and was going to Centennial College Canada to do a course in Business Management. My joy knew no bounds. I called him immediately and congratulated him. I told him that I was very happy about his plan, but at the same time, I was a bit angry that he hadn’t told me anything about it before. He told me that it had all been a sudden plan and that he had no intention of hiding anything.
Immediately after his plus 2 results, he joined college for doing graduation in Commerce. But there one of his classmates had enrolled himself in an IELTS coaching centre. So he motivated him also to join him. Till he took the IELTS, he had no intention of going abroad. But then he and his friend both got seven-band each and then they both consulted an agent, who told them all the details for a study visa.
Prabhjeet had a tough time convincing his parents to send him abroad, but then they agreed, and he applied. He was very busy in the application process, but luckily he got the visa on the fifth day after submitting his file. He has also motivated me to take the IELTS and join him in Canada. That is why I am taking the IELTS. So, this is the good news I received through the internet.

What kind of news do people in your country like to read?
People like to read all sorts of news. They read sports news, political news, weather updates, employment news, and so on.
Are young people and old people interested in the same kind of news?
Their tastes are different, but then there are individual variations among the people of the same age group too. Generally, youngsters are more into sports news and Bollywood news, whereas the elderly are more into political news.
Is it important to keep reading up to date news?
Yes, it is important to be abreast of the latest happenings around us. We can be prepared to face any problems if we are aware of the situation outside.
