IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Sunrotika Kumar.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Sunrotika.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Are you working or studying?
At the moment, I’m working but I want to go and study in Australia next year.
Can you describe your job?
Yes, I’m a Software Engineer and currently I’m working for an international company which develops a suite of financial solutions for investment banks.
Do you prefer working in the morning, afternoon, or evening? Why?
Generally, I think I probably work better in the morning when I feel fresh. Although sometimes I do lot of work at home at night, sometimes quite late at night, I find it easier to focus, so those are the two times of day when I feel most productive or creative normally.
How often do you use a dictionary?
Not very often really, maybe once or twice a week.
Do you prefer using a paper or online one? Why?
I normally just consult one of the online dictionaries because I don’t have a paper dictionary. If I need to check a word or something I’ll access a dictionary on my phone or o laptop depending where I am.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a special day out
You should say:
• Where did you go on that day.
• What did you do.
• Who did you go out with.
• Why was it special to you.
SAMPLE ANSWER
I went to the park with my friend the other day. She was my good friend in high school and we haven’t seen each other for almost a year. As we were both having our semester break, we wanted to meet and catch up over dinner.
We actually planned to meet each other at the park and then decide on where to go later, but my friend got there pretty late so we ended up staying there. We got two takeout milk tea glasses and kebabs from a small street vendor and found a comfortable corner to enjoy ourselves. We sat there watching people passing by, talking about random things that came up. The weather that day was pretty nice actually. It was raining in the evening all week, so we were worried that we might have to go home early. But it turned out to be a fine evening.
I guess what makes the day special was the fact that, despite having to wait for my friend to show up and then not going anywhere like we originally planned to, we still had a lot more fun than I had expected. We updated each other on what was going on in our lives and discussed our plans for the future. It was a nice feeling to know even though we couldn’t meet and talk frequently, we could still bond easily over milk tea and kebabs. It made me realize that sometimes we only need good company and good conversations to make something memorable.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do teenagers spend much more money than before?
I would say yes since the cost of living these days is increasing, and families are also getting wealthier. They usually give their children quite a lot more money than in the past. For example, when I was in high school, I was given around 10 thousand dong a day, which was 50 cents at the time. However, students, at present, receive about 100 thousand dong a day on average, and this is 10 times more than what I got before.
How can people save money as much as possible?
Well, there are only two ways, either to work more or to spend less. I find the first way is much more viable since restricting your budget from using or enjoying something can be a bit uncomfortable.
Have you ever had a bad shopping experience?
I have to admit that I’m not a wise buyer, so I make shopping mistakes all the time. But the one that I remember the most is the time when I bought a printer without the cable to connect it with my computer. Actually, the seller was so careful to ask me twice if I wanted to get the cable, but I just ignored the question because I thought he tried to make me pay more money. That was so embarrassing.
