How often do you use a computer?

Oh, I’m on my laptop at least 6 hours a day! As online IELTS instructor, it is invaluable. I use a laptop for everything from planning lessons to teaching over Zoom. Not only do I use it for work, I also use it to keep in touch with my relatives living abroad. Right now, I’m living in Vietnam while my family live in Ireland, so I contact them by email or facebook messenger.

Do you think it is important to learn how to use a computer?

Definitely, nowadays computer literacy is vital. A few decades ago, it was essential that one could read, write and do basic math. Although, these skills are still incredibly important, nowadays, I would say the ability to use various devices is even more valuable.

Do you have your own computer?

Fortunately, I do. I bought a laptop a few years ago. I choose to purchase a Macbook Pro as I’d heard lots of good reviews about that model. Because it cost a fortune, I was hesitant at first. I suppose this was because it was the latest model and included some cutting-edge features. However, I’ve had it for more than 3 years and it hasn’t shown any signs of age so I would definitely recommend this model to my friends.

How often do you cut your hair?

I tend to have my hair trimmed every three or four weeks. I used to have longer hair but it’s pretty short at the moment so it’s important that I get it cut regularly. Otherwise it looks messy and unprofessional. I usually go to a small barber shop that’s close to my house. The barbers there are really talented, I’d trust them with my life!

Why do people like to dye their hair?

As I see it, there are two main reasons people choose to have their hair dyed. First of all, everyone needs a change from time to time! I mean, people get bored of the same old colour. Actually, I’ve noticed that many young ladies have begun dying their hair bright colours like blue and pink. It’s a trend that seems to be catching on! Secondly, elderly people, both men and women tend to dye their hair to avoid looking old. I guess grey isn’t a youthful colour.

SAMPLE ANSWER

One environmentally friendly activity I regularly engage in is recycling. I make it a point to separate my waste at home into different categories: paper, plastics, glass, and organic waste. I do this every week, typically on Sundays when I have more time to sort through everything.

I find recycling relatively easy, especially since my local community provides clear guidelines on what can and cannot be recycled. The bins are conveniently located, which makes it hassle-free to drop off my recyclables. However, I sometimes find it challenging to keep track of what items can be recycled, especially with new products frequently entering the market.

IELTS Speaking Test

I believe recycling is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, which in turn decreases pollution and conserves natural resources. By recycling, we can also save energy, as it often takes less energy to process recycled materials than to produce new ones from raw materials. Additionally, recycling raises awareness about environmental issues and encourages others to adopt sustainable practices. Ultimately, I think that every small effort counts in our collective fight against climate change.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

What other environmentally friendly practices do you think are important?

I believe practices like reducing single-use plastics and conserving water are vital. Using reusable bags and bottles can significantly minimize plastic waste, and being mindful of water usage helps in preserving this precious resource.

How does your community support recycling efforts?

My community has made recycling easy by providing separate bins for different materials throughout the neighborhood. They also hold regular informational campaigns to educate residents about the importance of recycling and proper sorting techniques.

Do you think it is difficult to encourage others to recycle? Why or why not?

I think it can be challenging because some people may not understand the benefits or feel it’s too much effort. However, with better education and community support, I believe more people can be encouraged to adopt recycling habits.

Have you seen any changes in your habits regarding the environment over the years?

Yes, definitely! Over the years, I’ve become more conscious of my choices, such as reducing waste and opting for eco-friendly products. This shift has made me more aware of my impact on the environment.
