IELTS Speaking Test
Do you have a pet or ever had a pet? [What it is/was?]
Yes, I used to have a pet a long time ago when I still was a child. The pet, I used to have, was a beautiful-looking parrot.
What kind of pets do people like to have in your country?
Well, to tell the truth, most people in my country don’t really have much of a fascination for a pet. However, the rest of the people in my country, who like to have their pets, would choose cats, dogs, birds and fish as their pets.
What kinds of pets are common in your country?
I would say that cats, dogs, birds and fish are some common types of pets in my country. Some people choose wild animals, like rabbits, also as their pets.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do many people in your country have pets? [Why? /Why not?]
No, as far as I know, most families in my country don’t have pets at their homes. I think around one out of ten families, in my country, have pets, primarily because our culture and tradition don’t exactly encourage us to have pets in our houses.
Do you have good handwriting?
I think that I do have good handwriting since I always used to get extra points for my good handwriting when I was attending my elementary and high schools. Besides, my teachers and classmates often praised the way I write. So I like to believe that my handwriting is nice.
How did you learn your handwriting?
If I remember correctly, I was made to use lined papers and notebooks to practice handwriting again and again in order to learn good handwriting. I was also taught about how to hold a pen and maintain a relaxed grip when practising writing both by my parents and teachers.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you like receiving hand-written letters? [Why? /Why not?]
Yes, I like receiving hand-written letters since it feels more alive with a more personal touch and effort than the electronic mails or emails that we mostly use for written communication these days.
How important is handwriting in this era of computers?
Unfortunately, in this era of computers, the internet and email, the appeal of handwriting is almost lost since people choose typing on a computer as a mode of communication at offices, schools, colleges and universities. So, I guess that it is fair to say that handwriting is not really that important in this era of computers as it was in the pre-computer eras.

SAMPLE ANSWER
One of my most memorable family picnics took place last summer, in July. We decided to have a day out together to enjoy some quality time in nature.
We went to a beautiful park located about an hour’s drive from our home. The park is known for its lush green meadows, serene lake, and numerous walking trails. It’s a popular spot for picnics and outdoor activities.
We arrived in the late morning and set up our picnic near the lake. We brought a variety of homemade dishes, including sandwiches, salads, and fresh fruit. After setting up, we spent time playing frisbee and enjoying the sunshine. Later, we took a leisurely walk along the trails and had a boat ride on the lake. In the afternoon, we relaxed on the grass and played board games while listening to music.

Overall, it was a day filled with laughter, good food, and quality time, making it a cherished experience.

Why do you think family picnics or tours are important?
Family picnics and tours are important because they offer a chance for family members to spend quality time together outside of their daily routines. They help strengthen family bonds, create lasting memories, and provide a break from everyday stress. Engaging in fun activities and exploring new places together can also enhance communication and teamwork within the family.
IELTS Speaking Test
How do you usually plan for a family outing?
When planning a family outing, I usually start by choosing a suitable date that works for everyone. I then decide on a location based on the interests and preferences of family members. I also consider factors like the weather and travel distance. Once the location is chosen, I prepare a list of activities and pack essentials such as food, drinks, and any equipment needed. Coordination and clear communication with all family members ensure that everyone is on the same page and the outing goes smoothly.
Do you think people are spending less time with their families nowadays? Why or why not?
Yes, I believe people are spending less time with their families nowadays, primarily due to busy work schedules and the prevalence of digital distractions. Many people have demanding jobs that leave little time for family activities, and technology often leads to more time spent on devices rather than engaging in face-to-face interactions. However, making a conscious effort to prioritize family time and scheduling regular activities can help counteract these trends and foster stronger family connections.
