IELTS Speaking Test
Do you often (like to) listen to music? Or do you like listening to music?
So far I haven’t met anyone who dislikes music. However, when the workload is too heavy that requires me to stay highly focused, music is a huge distraction. Unlike many people who listen to instrumental music because it helps them focus, music makes me feel sleepy.
When do you listen to music?
Well, the whole world likes it, so I’m no exception. I usually listen to cheerful music when I need motivation and prefer sad ones, when I’m in a bad mood.
How much time do you spend listening to music every day?
As I’ve mentioned I prefer working in silence. To put it simply, I don’t listen to music during my working hours. After a long day at school, I probably want to chill out for like half an hour and music helps me to stay energetic.
What kinds of music do you like to listen to? Or What’s your favourite kind of music?
I prefer a range of music from Western to Eastern, and from the 90s to modern EDM. But if Korean pop is considered as a kind of music, then yeah, that’s my favourite. More than half of my playlists are Korean songs and I always keep myself updated with news related to Korean showbiz.
IELTS Speaking Test
Have you ever been to a concert before? Or Have you ever been to a musical performance?
I attend concerts, once in a blue moon, since the ticket price for foreign artists’ concerts is out of my reach. So I can only stay home and watch online. It was in 2014 that I finally did go to a concert on my own and it was an international music concert. It was absolutely mind-blowing and an unforgettable experience.
Do you like to listen to live music?
Unless it’s live at a coffee shop, where literally there is only music and me, then yeah I would love to. But I would change my mind if it’s a concert. The crowd is too crazy. It’s completely a mess most of the time and I end up with a severe headache.

PART – 2 CUE CARD
Talk about a part of your country you have never been to but would like to visit.

SAMPLE ANSWER
One part of India I have never been to but would love to visit is the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh. It’s known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant local traditions.
IELTS Speaking Test
The primary reason I haven’t been to Arunachal Pradesh is due to its remote location and logistical challenges. The state is situated in a relatively isolated region of India’s northeastern frontier, making travel there more complex compared to other parts of the country. Additionally, the travel restrictions and permit requirements for visiting this border state have also been a factor. It requires special permits to visit certain areas, which adds to the planning and preparation needed.
I hope to visit Arunachal Pradesh within the next few years. I’m planning to make this trip when I can allocate enough time for the journey and ensure I can handle the travel permits and arrangements. Ideally, I’d like to go during the spring or autumn when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak.
IELTS Speaking Test
Arunachal Pradesh is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, including lush green valleys, majestic mountains, and serene lakes. The state is also home to several unique tribes with their own distinct cultures and traditions, which I find fascinating. I’m particularly interested in exploring places like Tawang, known for its ancient monastery and panoramic views, and the Namdapha National Park, which offers a rich variety of wildlife and pristine nature.
My interest in Arunachal Pradesh started when I read about its beauty and cultural richness in a travel magazine. An article featured the picturesque landscapes and the traditional festivals celebrated by the local tribes. Additionally, documentaries and travel shows highlighting the unique aspects of the state further sparked my curiosity and desire to visit.

What other parts of India would you recommend for travelers interested in nature and culture?
India has many regions worth exploring for nature and culture enthusiasts. The Himalayan regions, like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, offer stunning landscapes and trekking opportunities. Kerala, in the south, is known for its backwaters and rich cultural heritage. Rajasthan’s forts and palaces provide a glimpse into India’s royal history, and the cultural diversity of cities like Varanasi and Kolkata offers a deep dive into India’s traditions and history.
Do you think traveling to remote places like Arunachal Pradesh requires special preparation?
Yes, traveling to remote places like Arunachal Pradesh definitely requires special preparation. It involves researching and obtaining the necessary permits, planning for the specific travel conditions, and ensuring you have the right gear for the climate. Additionally, understanding and respecting local customs and traditions is important when visiting less frequented areas.
How do you plan to manage the logistics and travel arrangements for such a trip?
I plan to manage the logistics by thoroughly researching the travel requirements and contacting local travel agencies or tour operators who specialize in trips to Arunachal Pradesh. They can assist with obtaining the necessary permits and arranging accommodations. I’ll also make sure to plan the itinerary in advance and prepare for any specific needs related to the region’s climate and terrain.

What do you think are the benefits of visiting less-touristed destinations?
Visiting less-touristed destinations offers the opportunity to experience more authentic and unspoiled aspects of a region. It allows for a deeper connection with local cultures and traditions, often providing a more immersive and personal travel experience. Additionally, these destinations are usually less crowded, which means a more serene and peaceful environment to explore.
