IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW

PART – 1 INTRO

What is your full name?

My name is Kira Tia.

How may I address you?

You may address me as Kira.

May I see your ID?

Sure, here it is.

Have you ever borrowed books from others?

Yes, I have! Actually, my friends and I often have a book exchange. I see it as a waste of money to buy every book you want to read, so it’s very effective to do this! I always look forward to the books I’ll get from them.

Do you like to lend things to others?

I would say so. To be honest, I’m always skeptical when I lend money to people because I’m afraid they won’t pay me back, but I do it for family members and friends when they need it anyway. Fortunately, I have friends and family that will willingly do the same for me.

How do you feel when people don’t return things they borrowed from you?

Upset, of course. I am a person of my word, so I feel upset when others aren’t. I have been very irritated several times when people, especially my little sister, has borrowed something from me and lost or damaged it. However, if it wasn’t something very valuable, I try to remember that it isn’t the end of the world.

Do people feel embarrassed when they request the things back from friends?

My ears often turn red out of embarrassment when I ask things back from my friends. It’s natural because I don’t want to undermine the relationship we are having and requesting stuff back can hurt others’ pride and self-respect.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

Describe something a child did that made you laugh.

You should say:

Who the child was?

How old he or she was??

What he or she did??

Explain why it made you laugh?

Model Answer

Often, children say and do the craziest things, as they lack the filter that adults have! It leads to lots of laughter. So, let me tell you about this child, Peter, who really made me laugh.?

He is the child of one of my co-workers. It was Peter’s 3rd birthday party last week and I attended his birthday party. As I know Peter is a very active, rambunctious child, I thought a water gun would be a suitable gift for him. So, I presented it to him and he was ecstatic!?

Peter sees many television shows and knows that the guns are used to shoot. So, he immediately started playing with the gun. He refilled the gun with water and pointed it to the guests and shot them with water! He wanted to have fun and did so. But finally, when the water ran out and his parents did not allow him to refill with water, he shot them.?

When he shot his dad, the dad fell on the ground. When he shot his mother, she also fell on the ground as if she died. He was surprised. He could not decide what to do. So, he shot himself and fell beside his mother until they stopped pretending to be dead.?

The entire event was hilarious, and all of the guests were roaring in laughter. In fact, the kid was highly clever and his gestures made me laugh. He was confused what to do when he shot his parents. So, finding no other options left, he killed himself. In fact, it proves his guilt but the?representation of the situation was really interesting that everyone could not stop laughing with this scenario.

Despite the issue being a serious one, it was a kind of comical event. So, I laughed with my whole heart. In fact, it was the rapid decision making skill of the child and the implementation of the decision without any hesitation was the key element of genuine laughter.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

Do you think having a sense of humor is important? Why/why not?

I think it’s very important. Being able to make to people laugh can make a big difference in our life. Telling jokes can brighten someone’s mood if they’re feeling down. Also, if you can laugh at yourself it shows that you don’t take yourself too seriously which will make you more likeable to other people?

Do you like movies or TV shows that make you laugh?

Option 1: I like watching comedies sometimes, but they’re not my favorite kind of film. For example, I really hate romantic comedies. The plot is always ridiculous and is something that would never happen in real life. Normally the conflict in the movie could be solved if the couple just talked to each other for a minute.

What is the difference between comedy on TV and comedy in books?

I’m not really sure; I can’t remember ever reading a comedy book, or a book that was funny. I usually read non-fiction or novels, and they’re generally not funny, but I suppose comedy on TV can be more spontaneous – I mean it’s difficult to transmit comedy in a book, isn’t it?

Do you think it’s important for people to laugh? [Why?/Why not?] Personally I think it’s quite a good thing to laugh, it relaxes you. Someone once said that laughing is like ‘internal jogging’ – it’s good for you.

But you can only laugh if you find something funny, right, and there are some people who just don’t laugh much naturally, but I don’t think that’s a problem because everybody’s different. Some people seem to laugh at almost anything and others are generally more serious and rarely laugh.

Is laughing the same as feeling happy, do you think? [Why? / Why not?] No, I don’t think it is the same. I’m happy most days, but I don’t go around laughing all the time. Maybe you show that you’re happy when you are laughing, but I think you can feel perfectly happy without laughing.

It’s like if you have a good your job and things are going well in your life, then you’re naturally going to feel happy, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go around laughing in front of everyone. Happiness and laughter are quite different, although the two are often combined.

Why do children feel happy easily?

As the mindset of a small child is very simple and optimistic, he has quite an outgoing and relaxed attitude towards life. What a child does is to play and he also receives much protection and care from their parents. They don’t have to worry much about how to make ends meet or other complicated situations in life. Moreover, they tend to take things less seriously and only retain sweet memories in their minds.

IELTS Speaking Interview

How would you define happiness?

From my perspective, the definition of happiness is subject to multiple interpretations. Some people argue that accomplishing a sense of satisfaction in life means possessing as much money as possible. Therefore, people will sacrifice whatever its takes to become wealthy. However, my view is that having a good job and a happy family life is what makes us truly happy in life. If we feel what we are doing is worthwhile and financially rewarding; or our children behave well and love their parents, then happiness is no longer out of reach.
