IELTS Speaking Test
Do you like wearing T-shirts?
Yeah, love T-shirts like V-neck and striped Tees. They go with everything, and I prefer that simple, casual style with some details like the necklace. It’s fun to spend a little time building my looks together.
How often do you wear T-shirts?
I probably wear T-shirts every day in summer. The pure cotton ones are my favorite coz they are comfortable to wear and they don’t smell awful after workout. I just wear Tees on my weekdays and also on my days off.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you like T-shirts with pictures or prints?
Well, I love the T-shirts with pictures and things that are not standing out. It’s because they make the Tees look so tacky. And small prints like the badge design can be better.
Do you think older people who wear T-shirts are fashionable?
Actually, it depends on the outfits and how they look on different people. If a senior citizen that is overweight wears a baggy T-shirt, this person is gonna look like he or she is in low spirits. If the person wears the Tee that is body conscious, and goes well with the trousers or the accessories kind of things, then he or she definitely looks fashionable.
IELTS Speaking Test
Would you buy T-shirts as souvenirs on vacation?
Yeah, I’d like to buy the Tees as souvenirs coz they’re like the reminders of the experiences. What’s more, some Tees are co-branded or designed by some doodle artists. I just feel like I can’t miss them. Sometimes, the slogans and paints on the Tees really have a calming effect.
Do you like singing? Why?
Yes, I do. Although I’m often out of tune when I sing, and I was told that I had no sense of rhythm, I’m still fond of singing because it makes me happy. I usually sing when taking a shower as the acoustics in the bathroom somehow makes me sound better, my voice is deeper and sounds more resonant than usual.
IELTS Speaking Test
Have you ever learnt how to sing?
Yes, I have. Every child in China takes music lessons in primary school/ kindergarten. If my memory serves me right, we started to learn singing at pretty young age. I’ve forgotten most of what I learnt though.

SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking Test
Okay, so one of my favorite dishes is chicken fried rice. It’s really simple, I know, but when it’s cooked well, it’s delicious. My mother taught me how to cook it when I was a young girl, in fact I think it was the first thing she showed me how to cook so I think that’s one of the reasons I like it so much.
You can also change it quite a lot and add some extra things to it or keep it very simple. Another reason I like it is because it’s really easy, quick and cheap to make. So I start with some chicken, I prefer to use chicken breast because it’s tastier and generally better quality than other parts, though you can use any chicken really.
IELTS Speaking Test
I partly cook the chicken breast by boiling it until it’s ready. While cooking the chicken I also precook the rice. I use a rice cooker as it gets the best results, but you can use just a pan of water if you want. While the rice and chicken are cooking I prepare the vegetables or anything else I want to put in the dish.
Sometimes I put some extra things like some ham or mushrooms, but I normally just include a little onion, sliced up really thin, some green peas, and some tomatoes, again chopped up really fine with all the seeds removed. When everything is ready and the rice and chicken have cooled down, I start to prepare to fry the rice and mix everything together.
IELTS Speaking Test
I add a little oil to a large frying pan along with some seasoning and beaten eggs, and then add the rice, stir it up, and then add the chicken. After cooking it a little I add the vegetables and any other ingredients, mixing it all the time. When I think it’s ready I taste it to see if there is enough seasoning and flavour, and then it’s ready to eat.
One of the other reasons I like it so much is because you can make it for one person or many people, just by changing the number of ingredients accordingly – and almost everyone I know loves it – so it’s really easy to make something quick if anybody comes round to visit and they’re hungry. Sometimes it’s better than going out and we can chat while I’m cooking it, so it’s nice.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Have eating habits changed over time in your country?
Yes, I think they have. Generally speaking, in the past most people used to prepare and cook more of their meals at home rather than eat out or buy ready-to-eat meals from the supermarket or other places.
When I was a child I can remember my mother spending hours every day preparing and cooking food for the family. That is not so common nowadays because many people, especially young people and young couples are so busy with their studies, work, or looking after their young children.
For example, it’s common for both parents to be working now, so people don’t have the time to spend hours and hours preparing and cooking food like their parents or grandparents did in the past. Another major change we’ve seen over the years is the growth in the number of imported food products available in stores and supermarkets. There’s much more choice now than in the past.
IELTS Speaking Test
What are the disadvantages of today’s diet?
Probably the main one is that it’s less healthy than before. People tend to get ‘fast food’ or ‘food to go’ rather than making it from scratch using fresh ingredients.
While not all processed food is bad, it’s generally less healthy than cooking your own food using fresh vegetables, fish, meat, or whatever you fancy. The fact that most ‘convenience meals’ have been made in factories means that they contain many more additives and artificial ingredients to help improve their taste and prolong their shelf life in the stores. So, they’re less natural than home-cooked meals.
IELTS Speaking Test
Should children be taught in schools how to eat properly?
That would be a great idea. They should also be taught how to cook basic or traditional dishes so that they can fend for themselves in the kitchen. It might not be a traditional academic subject, but if you think about it, preparing what you eat is a real-life skill that can have a big impact on your health and life for a very long time.
One of the reasons why people buy ready-made meals or eat out at fast food places so much is that they can’t be bothered to cook. Maybe they think it’s too much effort, or it takes too much time. The truth is that you can cook something healthy and nutritious in under 10 minutes if you know how. People need to be shown how easy it is, and that it’s a lot less expensive than ordering food or eating out all the time.
