IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My name is Jaspinder Singh.
Can I see your ID? Sure,
Here it is.
Where is your hometown?
My hometown’s in Hanoi, which is the capital city of Vietnam. It’s located in the north of the country, not really that far from the southern Chinese border.
Is there much to do in your hometown?
Oh yes, there’s certainly lots to do there as it’s a fairly big city. If you like going out in the evening there are a lot of good restaurants and bars. If you prefer cultural activities there are museums and art galleries. But if you like nature there are lots of other things outside of the city which are easy to reach.

What are the people like in your hometown?
They are mostly quite friendly, but as with most big cities everyone is often busy so it may seem as if they are not interested in speaking or having a chat. But if you live there you know that most people are quite happy to have a chat if they have time and will help you if needed.
What are you studying at the moment?
I’m studying history at university. It’s a four year course, and I started it three years ago, so I have just one year left. I’m enjoying it a lot so it will be sad to finish.
What do you like most about your studies?
We learn about many things from the past such as politics and wars, but I like learning about how people lived in the past the most. It’s amazing to see how our lives have changed so much from the past up until now. In some ways our lives have got much easier now, but in other ways the simplicity of life in the past made people much happier. Learning about all that is fascinating.

SAMPLE ANSWER
In the intensely competitive and demanding world of today, it is becoming difficult to find a few leisurely moments. When people do end up with free time on their hands, they want to ensure they spend it judiciously. I would agree with that sentiment and in this regard, I would like to talk about what I want to do if I get free time.
Reading is one recreational activity I usually want to do when I have time to spare. I like escaping into the world of the books that I read and letting myself soak up the magical beauty of the written word. I will read pretty much anything I can get my hands on, from works of non-fiction to novels to poetry and plays. Books enrich me with knowledge while also letting me step into the shoes of myriad characters, which have imbued me with compassion and empathy.

I also like that reading allows me to get a glimpse of different cultures and their traditions and explore places across the universe from the comfort of my home.Reading is a solitary activity, by and large, which is perfect for an introvert like me.
However, I also like discussing books and exchanging thoughts about them with others. As a result, I often end up recommending or gifting books to my friends. I am also part of a book club which allows me to feel a sense of community with other readers and share the highs and lows of reading with them. This leisure activity has been a great comfort for me and I look forward to being able to participate in it whenever I seem to have a relatively free schedule.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
1. What are some constructive leisure time activities?
In today’s materialistic world, everyone is so preoccupied with their daily lives that they do not have leisure time on their hands. However, there are some other people who make each and every moment count by doing something productive that interests them, such as blogging/ journaling/ writing, shopping online, baking/cooking, sewing, networking, painting, photography, singing, dancing, etc.
2. How leisure time activities have changed in the last 10 years?
Over the last few decades, leisure time activities have altered dramatically as a result of technological advancements. People used to spend their leisure time doing things like embroidery, knitting and crocheting, gardening, pottery, woodworking, playing cards, reading, hanging together with family, fishing, and so on in the early twentieth century.. However, with the accessibility of smartphones, people increasingly spend their leisure hours scrolling social media applications or blogging about their favorite pastimes, online gaming, online shopping, vegging out, baking, volunteering, and calligraphy.
3. What type of activity would you suggest to your kids?
Well, I’d teach my children the value of leisure time and encourage them to engage in productive activities such as volunteering, writing a blog, learning new courses or languages, cooking/baking, yoga/meditation/exercise, and playing outdoor/indoor games, all of which would not only improve their skills but also their mental and physical health. Therefore, I’d want them to spend their time doing something more fulfilling than simply browsing through their smartphones or flipping channels on the TV.
4. What types of leisure activities are popular in your country?
People of all ages in my country consider getting a free time as a boon, so they involve themselves in many useful leisure activities like hiking, travelling, writing blogs, reading books, watching documentaries, drawing, sewing, painting, jewelry-making, gymnastics, yoga, meditation, exercise, playing indoor/ outdoor games, walking/ running/ jogging, horseback riding, singing, dancing, gardening, and photography.

5. Why is it important for people to have time for leisure activities?
It is vital for people to spend quality time doing recreational activities in order to decrease stress and refresh their minds. Individuals might use leisure activities to respite the monotony of their daily lives. It enhances their personal and social development while also making them feel at ease. Overall, leisure activities are irrefutably invaluable as they offer a chance to find the right balance in life by providing solace, peace, joy and happiness to the mind as well as body.
6. Why are some leisure activities more popular than others?
Some leisure activities are more popular than others due to their ease of access, comfort for people of all ages, and, most significantly, people’s interest and preference for those activities. For instance, my mother spends her leisure time baking cakes. As a result, I too got influenced and developed an interest in baking cakes.
