Sure, here it is.

IELTS Speaking Test

Would you enjoy living in the countryside?

Definitely yes! Sometimes I wish my grandparents hadn’t migrated to Mumbai. I would have loved to grow up in our village on the Konkan coast, close to the sea, listening to the sound of the waves instead of the constant cacophony of horns!

Do you prefer living in a city or the countryside? Why?

This is not an easy question. People often romanticize life in the high mountains but it is tough. Food is very expensive and locals have to walk through dangerous terrain on a daily basis. Winters are biting cold and clear running water is hard to find. So I’ll admit that city life is easier.

A. This is not an easy question. People often romanticize life in the high mountains but it is tough. Food is very expensive and locals have to walk through dangerous terrain on a daily basis. Winters are biting cold and clear running water is hard to find. So I’ll admit that city life is easier.

Would you like to live in the countryside in the future?

Not anytime soon! I can see myself living in the countryside when I am retired and walk a slower pace of life. At the moment, the countryside is great for a relaxing day out or to go and paint the landscape but I feel more at home in the city.

Have you ever spent time in the countryside?

I go to the countryside in the North of Spain every summer as Madrid can become unbearably hot. My family have a chalet there so we all go and stay and laze about in the garden and swim in the pool. We take long walks in the mountains in the mornings and have long lunches in the afternoon followed by a nap.

IELTS Speaking Test

Is farming important in your country?

It is very common for people to take on farming duties in rural areas. It is actually one of the main industries in my country, with over fifty percent of the population living off of it.

How often do you visit farms?

I live in a metropolitan city, so I am quite far from any farming areas, but every few months I will go visit one for a change of pace.

What can we do to support farmers?

An idea could be to purchase products from local businesses, rather than buying mass-produced merchandise from large factories. I personally enjoy going to markets where people sell their own food, like fresh fruit and vegetables, and sometimes meat, too.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

A Book That Changed Your perspective

You should say:

– The name and idea of the book

– Who recommended you this book?

– how it changed your perspective

SAMPLE ANSWER

A book that significantly changed my perspective is “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle. The main idea of this book is about living in the present moment and the importance of mindfulness. Tolle discusses how much time people spend worrying about the past or the future, which can lead to anxiety and unhappiness. He emphasizes that true peace and happiness can only be found by embracing the present.

IELTS Speaking Test

I was recommended this book by my therapist during a particularly stressful time in my life. She thought that the concepts of mindfulness and presence would be helpful for me in managing my anxiety.

Reading “The Power of Now” was transformative for me. It helped me realize how often I was caught up in negative thoughts about the future or regrets about the past. The practice of mindfulness taught me to appreciate the small moments in life and to focus on what I can control. This shift in perspective has made me more resilient and has significantly reduced my stress levels.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

What was your favorite part of the book?

My favorite part was when Tolle explains the concept of the “ego” and how it often creates unnecessary suffering. Understanding this helped me recognize when my thoughts were being influenced by my ego, which was eye-opening.

Do you think books can really change people’s lives?

Yes, I believe books can have a profound impact on people’s lives. They can introduce new ideas, challenge existing beliefs, and inspire personal growth. For many, reading can be a catalyst for change.

Are there any other books that have influenced you?

Another book that influenced me is “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. It taught me the power of small changes and how building good habits can lead to significant improvements in life.

IELTS Speaking Test

How often do you read?

I try to read regularly, aiming for a book every few weeks. Reading is a great way to learn and relax, and it helps me stay connected to different ideas and perspectives.

Would you recommend this book to others? Why?

Absolutely! I would recommend “The Power of Now” to anyone feeling overwhelmed or stressed. Its teachings on mindfulness can help anyone find more peace and joy in their everyday life.
