What snacks do you like to eat?
I like to have some yoghurt, nuts or fruits between meals like blueberries, mangos, and oranges. I don’t eat sweets or cakes much because they’re high in calories. Too much intake of these snacks will lead to obesity easily. I don’t want to put on too much weight.
Did you often eat snacks when you were young?
Yes, when I was a kid, I had a sweet tooth. I used to eat a lot of candies, chocolate bars, cakes… . As a result, I had serious tooth decay, and I remember what a nightmare it was every time when I went to the dentist.
Do you think it is healthy for you to eat snacks?
Well to my knowledge, most snacks are over processed, so it’s definitely not so healthy for me to eat a lot of them or eat those kinds of food frequently. I tend to have some in my spare time, just eat in moderation. After all, snacks taste good and they can also put me in a good mood.

When do you usually eat snacks now?
In most cases, I eat some nuts before I go to the gym because it’s said that almonds are good for muscle recovering and building. And I also eat some dark chocolate when I don’t have time to eat meals. It can put my mind at ease and I really love its bitterness.
What is your favourite snack?
A snack I really enjoy (although not the healthiest) has to be salt & vinegar chips! Honestly, anything generally sour is wonderful, as a kid I used to eat lemons right off the tree. Apart from this, I love hummus and crackers, fresh veggies, and anything baked or homemade!
When do you usually have snacks?
It depends what I’ve been eating and what my schedule is like, but my blood sugar issues can require me to eat something every two to three hours. I’m more likely to need a snack between breakfast and lunch than between lunch and dinner.

SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking Test
One incident that really annoyed me happened a few months ago at work. It was during a team meeting, and we were discussing the upcoming project deadlines. One of my colleagues, let’s call him John, kept interrupting me and other team members while we were speaking. He would speak over us, even when it wasn’t his turn, and kept insisting on his own ideas without listening to anyone else.
At first, I thought it was just a minor issue, but it got worse as the meeting went on. At one point, when I was presenting my ideas about how we should prioritize tasks, John loudly interrupted me and said, “That’s not going to work. We need to focus on something else.” He didn’t even give me a chance to finish my point, and it was very frustrating because I had put a lot of thought into the plan.

This really annoyed me for a few reasons. First of all, I value open communication, and when someone doesn’t give you the chance to speak, it feels disrespectful. Secondly, his interruption made me feel that my input was not valued, which lowered my motivation to contribute. What made it worse was that he didn’t even try to understand my perspective before dismissing my ideas outright. It seemed like he was more interested in pushing his own opinions rather than having a collaborative discussion.
It annoyed me even more because it was a pattern. In previous meetings, John had done the same thing, and I had let it slide, thinking he might change. But after this incident, I felt the need to address it more seriously. I later spoke to him privately and told him how his behavior had been affecting me and others in the team. Fortunately, he apologized, and we were able to have a more productive conversation after that.
Lastly, what annoyed me the most was the lack of respect for others’ viewpoints and the constant interruptions. It felt like the meeting was more about him dominating the conversation rather than working together as a team.

What kind of things do people usually find annoying?
People can find various things annoying, but generally, it’s behavior that disrupts their peace or makes them feel disrespected. For example, loud talking in public spaces, people being late without any apology, or people constantly checking their phones during conversations can be quite annoying. In a professional setting, when someone dominates conversations or doesn’t allow others to speak, it can also be irritating.
Why do you think some people are easily annoyed?
I think people who are easily annoyed might have lower tolerance for frustration or feel very sensitive to things that go against their expectations. It could also be due to stress or having a lot of things on their mind. If someone is already under pressure, even small things like interruptions or delays can trigger irritation. However, it’s important to have patience and try to understand the situation before reacting.

Do you think it’s important to stay calm when you’re annoyed?
Yes, staying calm is definitely important when you’re annoyed. Reacting impulsively or angrily can make the situation worse and might lead to regrettable consequences. Instead, it’s better to take a deep breath, step back, and think about the best way to address the issue. Sometimes, calmly expressing how you feel can lead to a much more productive outcome than letting anger take over.
How do you usually deal with people who annoy you?
It depends on the situation. If it’s something minor, I usually try to ignore it and move on. But if the behavior is persistent and affects my work or relationships, I prefer to address it directly. I find that having a polite but honest conversation can often resolve the issue. I make sure to express my feelings without attacking the other person, as it helps prevent unnecessary conflict.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you think people are more annoyed these days compared to the past?
I believe that modern life, especially with the constant exposure to digital distractions and the fast pace of everything, can make people more prone to feeling annoyed. Social media, for example, can expose people to a lot of negativity, which might increase irritation. Also, the pressure of balancing work, family, and personal life can make individuals more short-tempered. In the past, without all these distractions, people might have had more time to relax and focus, which could have led to less irritation overall.
