IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW

PART – 1 INTRO

What is your name?

My name is Fatique Raqi.

How may I address you?

You may address me as Fatique.

May I see your ID?

Sure, here you go.

How many hours do you sleep every day?

I have to admit that I am not sleeping much recently, just about 5 hours a day. I’m currently working and studying at the same time. That’s why I have to deal with tons of schoolwork as well as the overwhelming workload at my workplace. And of course, this does not allow me to have much time to sleep in a day.

Is it necessary to take a nap every day?

Absolutely, I think napping is a great way to recharge my batteries and refresh my mind. For me, taking nap after long hours is like hitting the restart button in my brain.

Do old people sleep a lot? Why?

I don’t think so. Most of the elderly I know have to suffer from insomnia, which is a sleep disorder that people may have when they reach an old age. Therefore, they can hardly sleep at all.

Who gave you your name?

When it came to choosing my name, it was my dad who had the final word. Actually, most of my family members including my mom and my grandparents agreed with the name as well.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

Describe a person who leads an exemplary life.

You should say:

– who is he/she

– how old is he/she

– what he/she does for a living.

and explain why you think he/she leads an exemplary life.

Model Answer :

Leading a meaningful and exemplary life may seem very much attainable, but it is not such an easy feat for most people. It requires a lot of patience, virtue, humane qualities and mental strength. Mr Peter Strauss, among the people I know, is one such man who leads an exemplary life. For this topic, I will describe him here.

I live in an apartment in the new part of Nafplio in Greece, and Mr Peter Strauss is my good neighbour. He is a retired university professor and lives with his wife. He is a tall man with an amiable presence who can motivate people around him. Both of them have a very good relationship with their neighbours. I have known Mr Strauss for more than 5 years.

Mr Strauss is over 65. But even at his age, he looks fit and fine. In fact, he exercises regularly and follows a strict but balanced diet. Mr Strauss also loves to take part in adventurous activities. He often moves for hiking and other outdoor activities with me and some other people from our locality. The spirit he owns and shows is incredible.

He was a history professor at the University of the Aegean. He retired from his job a couple of years ago. However, he is still a part-time professor at a local college in our town and writes for a local newspaper. He also owns a small gift shop jointly with his wife. His wife primarily looks after the gift shop while he goes to the shop just after the evening to take charge of the sales and customer care.

IELTS Speaking Interview

I think Mr Strauss leads an exemplary life because he is a successful teacher, a loving father, a great husband, a skilled writer, an honest man with an acute sense of morality. He owns considerable wealth but had chosen to move to a coastal and beautiful area, away from the hustle and bustle of the city area. Instead of accumulating more wealth and making things more complicated, he had preferred to lead a life that has meaning.

I heard that more than 50% of his earnings go to charity, and that is something that has really touched me. The way he and his lifestyle inspire people to be happy and contended instead of being rich is something I take as a sign for an exemplary life, something greater than just monetary success.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

What are some of the ways people can help others in the community? Which is most important?

There are many other ways to help people living in a community or society. The notable helping ways are showing kindness to others, assist in doing something regardless of the task shape or size, behaving in a courteous manner, provide support in mental distress, be with them during their sorrowful events, sharing the joys, offering voluntary services to the social organizations or during social events, arranging employment for the unemployed (if possible), lending money in soft-terms during distress or supporting with foods, help to get justice etc.

But the most important thing, I believe, is to arrange for an employment. There is a proverb – Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Why do you think some people like to help other people?

People who are kind and soft-hearted usually love to help others. They find a sort of good feelings inside their mind when they could help someone in danger or misery. They are on the view that they are performing some good deeds and in return, they will get that back.

There are theories that everything is round. If you do well of others it will come to you unexpectedly, and if you do bad things that will hurt you too, unexpectedly. But most of the people who do well to others are not the theory-believers. They do it selflessly and enjoy the satisfaction of sacrifice.

IELTS Speaking Interview

Some people say that people help others in the community more now than they did in the past. Do you agree or disagree? Why?

The range of good deeds has increased in the society comparing the past. Earlier, people had not the necessity to mix with people as they are socializing now with the demand of time. So, as they are socializing more, they are experiencing the necessity of others and accordingly providing support to the distressed. But, a few decades back, people lived in a constricted loop and their life was limited to specific people or community consisted of very few members. So, they did not have the chance to help others in the community as they have today.

IELTS Speaking Interview

What types of services, such as libraries or health centers, are available to the people who live in your area? Do you think there are enough of them?

In my area, we do have health centers but we need libraries more. We have a single library and the books are insufficient for the increasing readers. At times it appears that the number of patients is on the rise and people are forgetting to meet their thirst for knowledge in the fast-paced age. Thereby, the health centers are on the rise while the libraries are on a decline. Mostly the young people, in the evening, pass their time on the library by reading books. So, the number of libraries needed to be increased and the existing one should be enriched with books and other reading materials.

IELTS Speaking Interview

Which groups of people generally need the most support in a community? Why?

Women, children and the old people are the most vulnerable section of a society or community. They need more support in a community than other for their vulnerable nature. For instance, if there is an earthquake, the aforesaid section should be prioritized regarding escape or taking shelter to a safer place as they cannot move like men.

Besides, disease resistance power is lower among them comparing the male members of a society. So, they should be allowed to get advantages in hospitals or other health-related services. The feeble nature has made them dependent on others and the issue should always be kept in mind regarding behave with them.
