Do you like taking photographs?
Why yes of course. They are a way to capture a moment in time. Moreover, I like to be able to show them to people so they can imagine that they were there with me. As I’m a big traveler, photos are my way of sharing my experiences without words.
How often do you take photos?
I would say everyday. I’m a big fan of selfies, so I often snap a few of them to send to my boyfriend every morning before work. Moreover, I take hundreds of photos when I travel.
IELTS Speaking Test
I which situation do you like take photos?
Any situation! But especially when I see something out of the ordinary. For example, I like to take photos when the light is setting just right on my street, or when I catch a glimpse (a look) of two children holding hands.
Do you prefer to take pictures of people or of scenery?
Definitely people. I like to capture the raw (real; candid) emotions on their faces. I feel that photos of people can be quite powerful. Moreover, I feel that scenery photography never does the actual place any justice.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you prefer to take photographs yourself or to have other people take photos?
Definitely myself. As I’m quite picky about the photos that I take and post, I take this responsibility upon myself. Call me a snob (a person who feels superior to others), but I feel that most people don’t have any idea of what makes a good photo and end up taking unflattering photos of me.
How do you keep your photos?
On my iCloud! I’m really grateful for this type of technology that keeps this record of my photos for me. Moreover, I post my photos on social media, such as Facebook and Instagram, so that also keeps them secure.

SAMPLE ANSWER
Well, I generally don’t like to watch a lot of advertisements because I think they are a waste of time. Although some ads are funny and informative but then there are some ads which can really annoy or irritate people. And today, I would like to talk about one such advertisement which I really dislike whenever it’s on air. It is the ad of a toilet cleaner and it’s run time is about 45 seconds What happens in this advertisement is that a TV show host visits four to five different households and asks the house owners about the cleanliness level of their toilets.
Most of the people say that their toilets are clean but then he insists on seeing them. Next, the camera zooms on to the actual toilet seats, which are very dirty and have yellow/ dark brown stains on them. The host then recommends the blue coloured toilet cleaner and applies it to the dirty toilet seats. After this the toilets are shown as sparkling clean just like a brand new toilet. Now there are two main reasons why I hate this advertisement. First is obviously the dirty toilets seats being shown on television. I think it would give nausea to anyone watching it.

The second, and the worst part about this ad is its timing. Normally, I watch the television while having my food i.e. during Lunch or Dinner and this is the time when they show this ad repeatedly. It makes me feel so disgusted, and I am not able to eat my food after watching this ad. Nowadays this ad is being shown on YouTube as well and I always do skip ad whenever it comes online. I wish there should be a method that should allow the viewers to choose the type of ads they would like to see.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Why do some people hate advertisements?
People do not like advertisements while they are watching a program because ads break the continuity. Another annoying factor is that most of the ads are very repetitive and there is nothing new. But the fact remains that if there are no advertising agencies to sponsor the programs we will not be able to watch good programs.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do people usually buy stuff after watching advertisements?
Yes definitely many people buy the products after they watch an ad. Many of the advertisements are very innovative as well as informative these these days. An advert can lure a wide range of people, from small children to the senior citizens.
Is music useful in advertising?
Yes, music adds life to the ad. Music can add meaning to anything and so music is useful in ads. For example, some jingles keep ringing in your ears even after the ad is over. So, the purpose of ad is fulfilled.
