The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in the United Kingdom. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 1 (Interview) 1. Do you prefer working in a crowded place or a quiet one? Why? Honestly, I need a quiet and peaceful space to be productive. If it’s too noisy and busy, I just can’t focus and nothing gets done. It’s not that I don’t like crowded places; under the right circumstances, I can have a lot of fun in those kinds of places. But I am just not able to organise my thoughts with the distraction of background noise or conversations. 2. How do you feel when you find yourself in a crowded place? It depends on the circumstances, really. I mean, if you’re… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in the UK (Part 1, Crowded Places and Sunglasses)

The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in India. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 3 (Discussion) 1. Do you like to help others? Why? Helping people is incredibly rewarding, as even the smallest act of kindness can brighten someone’s day. It could be as simple as helping a friend with a chore or just lending an ear, it just feels good to be there for people. Plus, I believe kindness is the best kind of contagious, when you help others, it encourages them to do the same. 2. How can children help their parents? Children can help their parents in so many ways, depending on their age. Their chores could be simple like tidying up their rooms, setting the table, or helping… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in India(Part 3, Children Helping Others and Volunteering)

The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in India. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 1 (Interview) 1. What do you do, work or study? I currently work. I’m a graphic designer at a small creative firm in the city. It’s a great job because it combines my love for art and technology. 2. Why did you choose this subject? I chose graphic design because I’ve always been drawn to visual storytelling. Ever since I was a kid, I loved doodling and playing around with designs. That, coupled with my love of technology and software design, made it a natural choice for me to turn this passion into a career. 3. What do you enjoy about your subject?

The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in Bangladesh. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 3 (Discussion) 1. Do you think all athletes should be considered as role models or idols? Why or why not? No, I don’t think so. Being skilled in sports doesn’t necessarily make someone a good role model or even a good person. It’s their behaviour, both on and off the field, that should determine their status as role models. Athletes who demonstrate good character, sportsmanship, and a positive attitude are great role models, but we should not overlook their personal conduct just because they are a talented athlete. 2. What role do famous athletes play in promoting sporting activities among the general public? They serve as sources of… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in Bangladesh (Part 3, Famous Athletes and Sports in School)

And it is not just because of his success on the racetrack but also his strength in facing his many health challenges, after his skiing accident. I think his sheer willpower and determination are simply unmatched.

The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in Bangladesh. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 1 (Interview) 1. Let’s talk about noise. How does noise affect your daily life? I live in a big city, so there’s always some level of background noise, whether it’s traffic, people, or construction. When I first moved to the city the noise levels were a bit overwhelming and it took me a while to get used to it, but now that I have been living here for years, I have just sort of gotten used to the noisiness. 2. In your opinion, does noise affect us more in public spaces than in our private spaces? I think noise levels can significantly affect both areas of our life.… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in Bangladesh (Part 1, Noise and Noisy Activities)

The questions below were shared by a student who took the IELTS test in India. Here are some model answers, to show you how you might respond to those questions: Speaking Part 3 (Discussion) 1. In your opinion, what role should parents play in disciplining their children? I think that parents play the most important role when it comes to teaching their children good behaviour and morals. If parents are not in charge of disciplining their children, then there is really not much that others, like school teachers, can do. But I do think that discipline is more than just physical punishment, it has more to do with guidance and support. Children should be taught about why their behaviour and actions need correcting. 2. Who usually spends more time with children in a family, the mother or the father? In… Read More »IELTS Speaking Test in India (Part 3, Parenting and Discipline)
