The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in Oman. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 3 (Discussion) 1. At what age do you think people should retire? I think a suitable age would be around 60 to 65, but it should be a bit flexible depending on a person’s preferences and health situation. I know a lot of 65-year-olds who simply do not want to stop being busy. 2. Why should they retire at this age? I think someone at this age will usually still have some physical vitality left to pursue hobbies and goals that they could not do while they were working, like travel. Plus, it also allows them enough time to spend with the friends and family members while still… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in Oman (Part 3, Retirement and Working with Older or Younger colleagues)

The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in Germany. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 3 (Discussion) 1. Do people visit each other’s homes in your country? Yes. In my country, visiting each other’s homes is a big part of our culture, and there are different levels to this as well. We still have a good and healthy sense of community. When it comes to our neighbourhoods, visiting each other and checking up on each other is part of our daily routine. It’s so common for our kids to visit each other as well that we consider them to be family basically. Other than that, it’s also common for family that lives further away to visit on weekends, and they usually stay for… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in Germany (Part 3, Technology and Inventions)
