IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Harnaam Singh.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Harnaam Singh.
Do you like wearing a hat?
Although hats help protect your hair and face from direct sunlight, I really don’t like wearing hats every day. After removing my hair my hair is always messed up. Instead of wearing a hat, I think I like to bring an umbrella with me.
What kind of hats do you have?
As mentioned, wearing hats is definitely not my daily style, so I usually have a hat at home. The only type of hat that is especially fond of here is the baseball cap. You know, this type of hat can give me a sporty and strong look.
Are hats popular in your country?
Don’t go looking too far in my country where motorcycles are the most common mode of transportation, and you must wear a helmet whenever you ride a motorcycle for safety. I wonder how uncomfortable it can be for you to wear a hat under a helmet. Thus, in most cases, hats are for pedestrians and fashionistas.
Do you often wear sunglasses?
When it’s sunny outside, yes. I usually have a pair of sunglasses with me or in my car in case I need them.
What are the main reasons for wearing sunglasses?
So that your eyes aren’t dazzled by the sun, and also to protect your eyes from glare if you’re outside for an extended period of time. Trying to protect your eyes from the sun without sunglasses is awkward and just annoying, and it can also lead to wrinkles from screwing your eyes up all the time.
Do you think more young people wear sunglasses nowadays than in the past? Why do they?
Yes. I think that’s probably true. We know more about the dangers of exposure to the sun nowadays, so it makes sense to protect your eyes from the sun’s glare if you spend a lot of time outside or even if you’re just driving every day and it’s sunny.
Have you ever given sunglasses as a gift to someone?
Yes, I have. I gave a pair of sunglasses to my sister last year for her birthday, among other gifts.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a difficult decision that you made.
– You should say:
– what decision it was
– what difficulties you faced
– how you made the decision
and explain why it was a difficult decision
SAMPLE ANSWER
Well, the most difficult decision I’ve ever made was whether or not I should study abroad next year. / Well, the most important conversation I had so far was with my parents about whether or not I should study abroad next year.
In the recent couple of years, there’s this growing tendency among high school graduates to embark on a study abroad program. I’ve always wanted to do the same, because it’s a good opportunity to see the world, to experience different styles education, and to improve my language skills.
And for a girl who has never been far away from home, studying in a foreign country might bring out my independent nature. But I need to give it some careful thought before I could make the decision. I told my parents who are both open-minded about my plan, and they were pretty supportive, but they also pointed out some disadvantages.
My mom told me that being in a new place by myself could be overwhelming sometimes, and it tests my ability to adapt to diverse situations. And it’s highly possible that I would feel lonely and helpless every so often, because all of my close friends and family members are on the other side of the world. I would be completely on my own, and basically everything I took for granted in the past would then be a challenge, like paying bills, opening bank accounts, communicating with fellow students, and the list goes on and on.
All of a sudden, I felt stuck. All those challenges sounded terrifying, but I really didn’t want to miss this great chance to broaden my horizon and learn more about other cultures around the world. I weighed up the pros and cons carefully, and after some serious consideration, I finally made up my mind to seize the opportunity to go abroad for study.

Children can make some easy decisions on their own such as what games to play, but they are immature for taking important decisions such as making good and honest friends.
