IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW

PART – 1 INTRO PART

What is your name?

My name is Pictoriako Shubuloka.

How may I address you?

You may address me as Pictoriako.

May I see your ID?

Sure, here it is.

Do you enjoy your work? Why?

Initially, I did enjoy but with time I am losing interest.

What was your favorite activity when you were a child?

As a child, we had plenty of outdoor activities because internet and computers were not that popular then. Most of the time, we spent time going to parks or visiting the zoo or playing around with friends. My favorite activity was playing cricket with my friends.

What do you think children prefer: outdoor or indoor activities? Why?

I think they like both, don’t they? But it all depends on a child. These days most of the kids are glued to the computer or the phone screen playing games on the internet or video games. There are kids who have parents keeping a check on the internet usage so they do get time for outdoor activities.

How have kids’ activities changed since you were a child?

Earlier kids had more time for their hobby classes or sports but these days with the kind of competition they are facing at the academic front which is so stressful that they barely get any time for any other extra activities.

When you were a child who taught you to be polite?

Actually nobody really taught us, this came to me pretty naturally as I grew up seeing my parents being polite and giving respect to others.

Why is it important to be polite to people?

Well, as someone said you exactly get what you give so if you want respect you need to give it first. It represents the culture and etiquettes of your family and roots. Some people are very rough in their behavior and they get nothing by being aggressive.

PART – 2 CUE CARD

Describe a place where people go to listen to music

You should say:

• What kind of music is performed there

• What type of people go there

• Why people go there

• Explain your impressions of this place

SAMPLE ANSWER

I am going to tell you about a famous music pub I frequently visit. It is a place named Polygon, which is located in a hidden corner of Cat Linh street.

I first knew of this place through my close friend, who was a big fan of live music. Instead of playing just one genre, this pub offers a wide variety of styles depending on the artists they invite each day. The bands there mostly play western pop, but on special occasions there were also jazz and ballad nights.

As far as I know, this place is a hotspot for youngsters that have a taste for band music. Some are here to have a drink with friends while bobbing their head to the music, some simply need a place to dance the night away. For me personally, I love seeing talented artists singing their heart out on stage.

Regarding what impressions I have of this pub, I would describe it as a place of freedom. It is where strangers can easily connect with each other through music. The audience can take the stage if they want to, and artists can improvise a tune when someone makes a request. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone who is interested in band music.

PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS

What is the role played by music in people’s lives?

I have heard someone saying music is an art form that enriches our life, and I cannot agree more. What I mean is by listening to the same song, people from all walks of life can relate to each other, and I think this is the magic that no language on earth can ever do.

When do you listen to music?

I do it all the time, but I especially need music when I am feeling under the weather. To me, it is a form of therapy that can immediately lift my mood and help me gather strength.

What changes do you see in today’s music in comparison to past?

I don’t think there are many changes. Just like fashion, music is also cyclical, which means the trend repeats itself after a certain period of time. For example, disco used to be the ‘in’ style of the 70s, and it is becoming trendy again in recent times.
