IELTS Speaking Test

Do you like art?

Yeah, I’m really into art coz it helps to release my stress. It’s a good way to get it out of my system from singing or painting. And art makes me be able to perceive the world better, like to discover beauty in life, and to improve my aesthetic level.

Do you like visiting art galleries?

Yeah, love to go to art galleries on my days off coz it’s cool to take snapshots there and put them on my moments. More importantly, I have the chance to know different genres, and listen to the stories told by the guides.

IELTS Speaking Test

Do you want to be an artist?

Well my answer is no because most of the artists are in limbo. I mean, it’s very hard for a person to make a name for him or herself in the industry. I know it sounds utilitarian, but that’s the truth. And if that’s the case, it’s impossible for an artist to support him or herself.

Do you like modern art or traditional art?

Honestly, I’m an outsider to art, but I should say, I just love both because each has its strong points. To my understanding, traditional art provides a basis for aesthetic level, showing people the details of the artwork. And modern art is sort of like, breaking the mould and reflecting the artists’ thoughts.

Do you like painting/ drawing? Why?

Yes, I do. I used to be fancy of drawing when I was in primary school. I just enjoyed copying the figure in my drawing book and making use of any colour as I like. I felt proud of being praised by my relatives when they saw my drawing posted on the wall of my house.

IELTS Speaking Test

Do you want to learn more about art?

No. I simply take it as some entertainment activities to kill time like sculpturing or paper cutting, not something that I would like to pay special attention or invest, or put alot of efforts. As I mentioned, handicrafts making is too time consuming and challenging to be adept. So, as opposed to making such stuff, I would rather spend some time listening to music and learn how to sing.

Do you think children should learn drawing?

It depends. If a child has an interest in drawing, it’s good for them to do. Parents should encourage their children to do what they like. However, it’s useless to push every child to learn drawing.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

IELTS Speaking Test

SAMPLE ANSWER

I normally ask for advice from my friends and family members. However, today I would like to talk about a person who a lot of people ask advice from. He is my school’s principal. He is a very learned and respected member of our community. He brought a lot of changes to the school.

Before him, the school only had a 70% pass rate in senior secondary, but after he was appointed, the pass rate went up to 98%. The dropout rate of the school also went down significantly. Everyone respects him because of the changes he brought to the school. Many people now go to him to ask advice about their children’s future and career.

He himself keeps track of every student and talks to them regularly. He also talks to the teachers regularly about each student’s performance. That is why, he has a very good idea about student’s abilities and interests. Many of the children who chose careers as per his advice have done exceptionally well in their life. That is why his advice is really valued.

IELTS Speaking Test

He bases his decisions on the students’ interests more than anything else. He doesn’t just recommend traditional fields like law, science, engineering or medicine. Like recently, he encouraged one of the students’ parents to enrol him in acting classes. No parent would have considered this advice, if it came from anyone else. I feel like we are blessed to have such a knowledgable person in the society.

Many of the parents in my small town are unaware about new fields, but he studies and gives them advice on how their children can pursue these new and exciting fields. Also, talking to him is always very educational. I feel like I learn something new whenever I talk to him.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

Are professional consultancy services expensive in your country?

It varies. There is not much demand of these services within the country so the local consultancy services charge reasonable prices. However, there are also some multinational companies, whose fees are quite exorbitant. These multinational companies mainly offer services to foreign customers.

Do you think the advice parents give their children is always good?

No, I can’t say it is always good, but it is mostly good. Parents are also human beings and although they have the best interests of their children at heart, they also make mistakes sometimes.

IELTS Speaking Test

Why do some people like to ask others for advice on almost everything?

I believe it is partly due to their upbringing. Their parents might have dictated most of their decisions in their childhood, so they lack confidence to make choices on their own when they grow up. They prefer asking others for advice, just like their parents advised them during their childhood. Secondly, it maybe because they are too afraid to make mistakes and taking advice from others helps them confirm their decisions.
