IELTS SPEAKING TEST
PART – 1 INTRO
What is your full name?
My full name is Hardasa Singh.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Hardasa.
IELTS Speaking Test
Who gave you your name? / What’s the origin of your name?
My name is named after a famous figure who my parents really admire and they really hope that I can turn out to be exactly like her in the future. So yeah, I guess both of them agreed upon the name.
Does your name have any special meaning?
Most Indian names do, I suppose, and mine is not an exception. My name can be interpreted as a river in autumn. In my country, anything related to autumn is considered beautiful and calm, since this season is the most comfortable one out of the four. So, I assume my parents did have somewhat an expectation when they named me that.
IELTS Speaking Test
Do you think your name is special?
Actually, the name [……] is fairly common in my country. You would be pretty surprised at how many girls here are named [….]. But, in a sense, this name is special to me because my parents gave it to me and it will stay with me for my whole life.
Do you like your name?
Definitely yes! It’s a simple, yet meaningful name to me. Say if you ask me whether I would like to change my name into another one, my answer would be a big no.
What do your friends call you?
It really depends. Most of my close friends prefer to call me by my nickname, “Pup”. Meanwhile, others just use my first name.
IELTS Speaking Test
Did your family have a certain (nick) name that they called you when you were a child?
When I was born, I had been crying for more than 2 hours. Therefore, my parents decided to call me Crocodile, which turned out to be my nickname afterwards. It was such a funny name which still makes me embarrassed when my parents call my nickname in front of my friends.
How did your parents choose your name?
My parents named me after a famous freedom fighter in my country who is universally admired today. I hope I can achieve great things like she did.

SAMPLE ANSWER
I would like to talk about my colleague, Alex, who was an outstanding team player during a group project at work.
IELTS Speaking Test
We worked together last year on an important project that required collaboration between different departments. It was a challenging task, as we had tight deadlines and a lot of responsibilities to handle.
Alex played a crucial role by organizing tasks, ensuring clear communication, and motivating team members. He took the initiative to delegate work efficiently and always made sure everyone’s opinions were heard. Additionally, he helped resolve conflicts and encouraged a positive work environment.
I believe Alex was a great team player because he was not only hardworking but also supportive and empathetic. He maintained professionalism, showed excellent leadership skills, and kept the team motivated even under pressure. His ability to listen, adapt, and contribute effectively made the project a great success.
