IELTS Speaking Test
Where do you come from?
I am dweller of Moga city which is located between Ludhiana and Ferozpur.
Do you do housework at home?
Yes, I do! Even though I could afford domestic help, I prefer to do it on my own. I live by myself in a small, studio apartment so it’s easy enough. Actually, I find housework to be relaxing. When I feel stressed, I like the mindless activity (something which doesn’t require hard thinking) of scrubbing the shower, floors, and kitchen cabinets. I really hate sweeping though! I always miss too many spots.
What housework do you usually do?
All of them! I do dishes, dusting, sweeping, mopping, and scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom. I usually do a deep clean every two weeks, but keep tidying up during the week. I have a pet peeve (something that really bothers you) of having a clean bathroom, so I generally do that about once a week.
Do you like doing housework?
I like most chores. I’m a neat freak, and I just love seeing my entire house spic and span. The feeling of a clean home makes all that hardwork super satisfying!
IELTS Speaking Test
Did you do housework when you were a child?
Yes, my parents enforced this. They had a rotation chore assignment chart for the 4 of us children every week. We would earn $5 a week for completing them. If we acted up (misbehave), extra chores would be put on (assigned to) us. If we had a special accomplishment, like straight A’s, we would be off chores for a week.
Do you think that children should do housework?
Absolutely! Even if the parents could hire help instead, it teaches children a sense of responsibility and skill. Also, it helps them to not be spoiled ( a person who has too much). When they learn these skills at a young age, they can carry it into their adulthood and be better homemakers.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you think that men and women should share housework?
Without a doubt! I don’t believe in these gender stereotypes of only women doing housework. I believe it is the responsibility of both people. Moreover, when they share the responsibilities, it takes the pressure off both of them. However, if one spouse is working all day and the other is at home, I think the one at home should cover the housework.

IELTS Speaking Test
SAMPLE ANSWER
A library is a place where everyone can come and study by borrowing books, magazines and newspapers from there. A library is the heart of a college. Our college has a good library. I visit it almost daily during my free periods. It has about 25000 books on various subjects.
It is situated in a newly constructed block known as the ‘Library Block’. Our college has recently introduced the open shelf system. The books are no more kept under lock and key. They are within the reach of one’s hand. The students and the members of the staff come and select the books of their own choices. There is a reading room attached to the library.
Newspapers are kept on the stands. The periodicals are placed on a big centre table. The reading room is crowded through and the day. The students come there during their free period and read stories, poems and articles. It is always rewarding to spend a period or two in the reading room or the library.
