IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My name is Dunika Dhokila.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Dunika.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here you go.
Did you save money when you were young?
I always used to save money when I was younger. I understood it to be a good practice and saved my pocket money, award amounts, or any money that I received as a gift. Those saved amounts of money have helped me a lot during my time of need.
Have you ever given money to other children?
No, I have never given money to any other children, as I spent money only with my parent’s permission, and never digressed from the original spending purpose agreed upon, along with my parents. I have always politely refused any other children who have come to ask me for money.
IELTS Speaking Interview
Do you think parents should teach children to save money?
Yes, I think that parents should teach children to save money. It is a very good practice that not only secures our future but also disciplines us by teaching self-control and introspection. All of us should learn about saving money and enjoy the benefits it brings along.
Do parents give children pocket money in your home?
Yes, parents do give children pocket money in my home. I and all my siblings used to get a certain amount of money every month, which was always lesser than our expectations on purpose. This was done in order to teach us control on expenses, and the practice of saving.

IELTS Speaking Interview
Model Answer
A hobby makes life easier and more comfortable. Almost all of the people in the?world have some sort of hobbies that make them feel energized around the?day. A hobby is also helpful for stout mental health.
My sister, Samantha, is a bookworm. She likes to read novels. This is her hobby?and she has a huge collection of different books. She prefers to buy books and I?usually present novels on her birthdays. She has built a mini library inside her?room and all the corners are filled with books that she could not?accommodate in the bookshelves.
She started reading books at an early age?and she used to read-only comic books. With her mental development, she?started reading the other books as well. Now she proudly owns a large number?of books considering the other mates of her class. She has an enriched?collection of books including novels, books of history, geography, science?fiction, middle-age plays, poetry, and comic books ? her childhood?companions.

Actually, there are no preset schedules for her to be with the books but she is?mostly seen reading the books in the evening and before sleeping at night. But?she reads the books whenever and wherever she can manage time. She carries?a book in her school bag and when she is on a bus, she reads the book. Reading?books on her bed is a common scenario at my home.
Sometimes, in the late?evening, she is seen reading books on a chair placed at the small garden inside?the house. She also sits on the balcony by her room and read books by sitting?on the floor. Thereby, it is unpredictable when and where she will start?reading. My parents are also happy with her reading habits and inspire her?periodically to be attentive in her academic studies as well.?
IELTS Speaking Interview
I asked her about the habit that why she reads so many books instead of practicing some other hobbies. She replied that she liked reading books as they?provide her with different knowledge. She showed some logic to me after I?asked about the reading. According to her, books are our best friends and they?never quarrel with us. They are also sources to explore different unknown?and unfamiliar things, issues, and places. They are always with her, she added.?
Samantha also said that she may not get a friend in her need but the books are?always with her. Some of the books make her cry, some of them entertain her?while some broaden her knowledge. Besides, the most important thing is that?the books give an inexpressible pleasure to the readers which could not be?found somewhere else. The tastes are quite different from any other thing.?
IELTS Speaking Interview
I would not have enjoyed reading books like her because I cannot sit?motionlessly. Even I cannot enjoy movies as well since it requires sitting idly?and watching on the screen. I prefer movement and like participating in?different sports. All of the people are not the same. Their habits and mode of?attitudes and behaviors are different, naturally. Samantha is able to sit idly?and spend hours after hours by reading the books but if I am asked to do so, it?would not be possible for me to sit for 10 consecutive minutes without any?motion.
I feel a sense of discomfort when I am asked to read books, watch?movies, or any other activities that require sitting for longer times. I do not why?it happens but sometimes I think it might be my nature to be active always.?
Without physical movements, I cannot do for a moment and since book?reading does not require the movements, I do not prefer to spend time with?books except for my academic lessons.

1. What hobbies are common in your culture?
To be honest, one of the most popular things to do in Ireland is to drink beer, especially at the weekend. People like to catch up with their friends and neighbors over a cool beer. Most villages have a bar which is like a meeting point for the local residents. Other than that, sports are very common. In particular, people enjoy watching and playing football.
2. Has modern life limited the time we spend on hobbies?
Mmm ,I’ve never thought about before. I suppose it has. People nowadays seem to work longer and longer hours which means they have less time to do leisure activities. It also appears that people commute longer distances which means they get home late when they are too tired to do anything except sleep! It’s a shame really. I think it’s so important to do something to blow off steam!
3. Can hobbies have any negative effects?
Definitely! Some can have detrimental effects. For instance, as I mentioned, people in Ireland often drink beer at the weekend.
Although, it’s an effective way to unwind after a long and tiring work week, it’s certainly not healthy. I mean, when people drink too much alcohol, they gain weight, also known as a ‘beer belly’! Additionally, sometimes irresponsible drinkers become drunk and cause fights.
