IELTS SPEAKING TEST
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your name?
My name is Devika Sharma.
How may I address you?
I feel glad if you call me Devika.
Where do you come from?
I am dweller of Moga city which is located between Ludhiana and Ferozpur.
Do you do housework at home?
Yes, I do! Even though I could afford domestic help, I prefer to do it on my own. I live by myself in a small, studio apartment so it’s easy enough. Actually, I find housework to be relaxing. When I feel stressed, I like the mindless activity (something which doesn’t require hard thinking) of scrubbing the shower, floors, and kitchen cabinets. I really hate sweeping though! I always miss too many spots.
IELTS Speaking Test
What housework do you usually do?
All of them! I do dishes, dusting, sweeping, mopping, and scrubbing the kitchen and bathroom. I usually do a deep clean every two weeks, but keep tidying up during the week. I have a pet peeve (something that really bothers you) of having a clean bathroom, so I generally do that about once a week.
Do you like doing housework?
I like most chores. I’m a neat freak, and I just love seeing my entire house spic and span. The feeling of a clean home makes all that hardwork super satisfying!
Did you do housework when you were a child?
Yes, my parents enforced this. They had a rotation chore assignment chart for the 4 of us children every week. We would earn $5 a week for completing them. If we acted up (misbehave), extra chores would be put on (assigned to) us. If we had a special accomplishment, like straight A’s, we would be off chores for a week.

Do you think that children should do housework?
Absolutely! Even if the parents could hire help instead, it teaches children a sense of responsibility and skill. Also, it helps them to not be spoiled ( a person who has too much). When they learn these skills at a young age, they can carry it into their adulthood and be better homemakers.
Do you think that men and women should share housework?
Without a doubt! I don’t believe in these gender stereotypes of only women doing housework. I believe it is the responsibility of both people. Moreover, when they share the responsibilities, it takes the pressure off both of them. However, if one spouse is working all day and the other is at home, I think the one at home should cover the housework.

SAMPLE ANSWER
IELTS Speaking Test
I remember a time when I gave directions to a friend of mine who was visiting my city for the first time. It was about six months ago, and she was coming from another town for a weekend getaway. She called me up asking for directions to a popular tourist spot in the city, a famous museum that I had visited several times.
I gave her the directions over the phone, starting by telling her the best route from her location. I explained that she should take the main highway, which would lead her directly to the city center, and from there, it was just a short walk to the museum. I also mentioned a few landmarks along the way, like a large shopping mall, so she could recognize when she was getting close.

I also advised her to avoid certain streets that might be busy due to construction work, and I mentioned that parking near the museum could be limited, so she might want to use the public parking garage nearby.
After the call, she sent me a message saying that she had arrived without any trouble. She thanked me and mentioned how easy it was to follow my instructions. I was happy to hear that she had made it there without getting lost. It felt good knowing I could help her navigate the city, especially since she was new to the area.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think giving directions is an important skill?
Yes, I think giving clear and accurate directions is an important skill, especially in busy cities or unfamiliar areas. It helps people feel more comfortable and confident when they’re traveling, and it can save them a lot of time and frustration.
Do people use maps or digital devices to get directions nowadays?
In today’s world, most people rely on digital maps or GPS devices like Google Maps or Apple Maps to navigate, as they’re very accurate and can update in real-time. However, I still think that giving directions in person can sometimes be helpful, especially if someone’s phone isn’t working or if the GPS isn’t accurate in certain areas.
Do you think people are good at remembering directions?
I think it depends on the person. Some people are very good at remembering directions, especially if they have a good sense of direction or a strong memory for landmarks. Others may struggle, especially if they are unfamiliar with the area or if the directions are complex. In such cases, it’s useful to give them clear, simple instructions.
