IELTS SPEAKING INTERVIEW

PART – 1 INTRO

What is your name?

My name is Botter Yanu.

How may I address you?

You may address me as Botter.

May I see your ID?

Sure, here you go.

How often do you buy shoes?

I am not a big fan of shoes so I only buy them when they are worn out. It’s been around 1 year ever since the last time I bought a pair of shoes.

Have you ever bought shoes online?

No I haven’t ever done that simply because I have a very negative view of online shopping. I hate receiving a product that isn’t as good as advertised on those websites. I prefer going to the store and check the quality before making a purchase.

Do you prefer comfortable shoes or good-looking shoes?

I prefer shoes that are more comfy and convenient. Because I have to go out very frequently to see customers or friends, I need comfortable shoes that are soft and light in order not to feel hurt after a long day.

Do you like to look at the sky at night?

Well just occasionally. I mean the sky is beautiful as long as it isn’t rainy or too sunny. Yet, we are told not to gaze directly at the sun as it may cause great harm to our eyesight.

Do you prefer the sky in the morning or the sky at night?

At night, definitely; while the daytime sky is rather boring, the starry night sky, especially that in the countryside, is so amazing that I was entranced by the first time I saw it many years ago. That wasn’t like anything you can find in cites nowadays.

Model Answer

Musical events are one of the most impressive things and I never miss chances to attend such event. Recently my college arranged for a musical event here in India and I joined there as an audience.

This event was organised marking the fresher?s reception of the college and it annually does the same thing. The event goes on around the day and since this is aimed to entertain the youths, the participants are from local band groups who perform some special music on the day. In fact, this is one of the most important musical events that many of the students wait around the year only to enjoy this musical event.

After the secondary examination is over and the result is published, students apply to get admission into colleges. Once all the other formalities and necessary activities are done, the colleges welcome their students and each of the colleges has its own respective traditions to welcome the newly admitted pupils. My college is also welcoming the fresher?s with an exceptional way and it organises a musical concert on the ‘welcome-day’. Moreover, the college authority also tries to entertain the new students with different other ways, like providing light snacks and drinks and any other small present like pens and folders etc.

The event is organised aiming to welcome the students of the eleventh grade and considering their preferences, the college authority arranges for the musical event and mostly rock music is played here. The college authority has decided to play rock music as the youths of the present age are almost unfamiliar with the other types of music except, the rock genre. So, according to their choice, a band is invited to perform on the stage. Sometimes, the authority invites an entire band and in some cases, solo rock singers are invited. Besides, it also depends on the availability of the singers or bands.?

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

What types of music are famous in your country?

Currently, a significant number of Indonesian teenagers like KPop. But the trend is always changing, I suppose. Some years ago there were more people listening to pop songs. In the 90s, people really liked rock songs.

What are the influence of western music in teenagers in your country?

Western music has a strong influence on teenagers. I see that many teenagers now sing a lot more songs in English, or Korean. Some of them even told me that the lyric has somewhat helped them polish their foreign language skill, which is quite surprising. There are more and more musical events being held to attract young audience, and I can say that young people these days are way more enthusiastic when it comes to attending musical events like this. Even their fashion style is way more similar to western idols these days, so it’s not just the music that influences them.

Why is music important?

Personally, I think music is important because it has become an important part of our daliy life. Music is capable of changing our moods. In the morning, music helps us to be more energetic and ready to start the day. At night, listening instrumental song is very soothing, helping us to relax. When I’m stressed out, I tend to listen to certain music like progressive rock or heavy metal, just to let out that negative energy in me, and it works.

Some people even believe that certain type of music, like classical music, is closely related to intelligence. I don’t know if this is true or not, but one of the reason why my parents insisted me to take piano lesson was because they believed that music helps increase concentration, and may be, intelligence. One thing that I realized after taking piano lesson was that I became more capable of finding a pattern. When someone is playing a song, I will start figuring out what scales are in that song by ears. I always feel the urge to figure it out, like it’s always tempting to find patterns.

Which is more important? Western music or traditional music?

It depends on what you mean by important, is it commercially important or culturally important, because these two genres are both important in their own way. Commercially, western music is so dominant. When we talk about western music though, we know that many local artists have adopted this kind of music as well. Because western music is liked by many people, it is more successful commercially. Their success is vital to the national music industry. The same goes for foreign artists. Some promotors have successfully held concerts that attract young audience because many foreign songs become a hit here in Indonesia.
