Cambridge IELTS 10 Speaking Test 1 Part 3 Answers Skills and Abilities What skills and abilities do people most want to learn today? Why? I suppose many young people are interested in technology skills because they seem to be almost essential in most careers nowadays. A lot of my friends are interested in people-based skills as well and are interested in pursuing careers in marketing and consulting so they are interested in the psychological and social aspects of managing people among other things. Another thing which is important is that many young people tend to be choosing a broader range of career paths these days, which involve a greater blend of skills from more traditional professions. Obviously there are still those who choose to become doctors or similar but there are newer careers which didn’t exist some years ago, for example, forensic accounting and criminology which have also become popular amongst people I know. So I believe that high-tech skills and the ab...

Cambridge IELTS 10 Test 1 Part 1, Part 2 , Part 3 How do you usually spend your weekends? Well, it depends on if I have any special plans or not. For example, last weekend I went to visit a friend for the weekend and while that’s not a usual weekend, nearly every other weekend I try to go out and do something different, either with friends, family or even by myself. But a normal weekend when I have nothing particular planned would revolve around my family and just being at home relaxing. I usually help my mother around the house and maybe help her out with grocery shopping and preparing the meals and then we might watch a movie together, as a family, in the afternoon or evening. Later in the day I usually spend some time reading or planning what I need to do during the coming week. But I like spending time with my family like this because it’s important to me. Which is your favourite part of the weekend? Really, I don’t have a favourite part as in Saturday or Sund...

Cambridge IELTS 10 Speaking Test 3 Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Cambridge 10 Sample Answers 1. Yes, I absolutely love travelling ! I love exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. I think it widens my perspective and gets me out of my comfort zone . For example last year I went to Japan and it was amazing to see how different the customs and way of life was from mine. Travelling is such a great way to learn about the world and make unforgettable memories. 2. Yes, I’ve been lucky enough to travel a lot.

I personally think it’s better to travel with others. I think sharing expe...

How would you anser this IELTS cue card about a shop near where you live ? Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 What types of music do you like to listen to? It’s quite varied really, sometimes I like to listen to pop music and other times I like to listen to movie soundtracks or instrumental music. I guess it depends on what I’m doing or how I’m feeling, for example, if I’m feeling energetic I’ll probably listen to some high-energy music or something with a good beat to get me going. On the other hand, if I’m driving or maybe even reading I’ll listen to something more relaxing, maybe some nice instrumental music because I find it helps me concentrate. At what times of day do you like to listen to music? I usually listen to music throughout the day, on and off, but I suppose the longest period would be when I’m traveling to work because the journey is almost an hour there and another hour returning at night – and listening to music helps pass the time. Other t...

Describe someone you know who does something well You should say: Who this person is How you know this person What they do well and explain why you think this person is so good at doing this. www.ielts.org Cambridge IELTS 10 Speaking Test 1 Part 2 Answer Describe someone you know who does something well Sample Answer My best friend is a fitness nut – she’s always doing something related to fitness in her spare time. In fact some people might even say she’s obsessed with it. But, she’s also very good at it because she has won competitions for her physique and physical fitness. We’ve been best friends for many years, since elementary school when we first met. She was always good at sports and things like that at school and she played on the soccer team, she also did gymnastics and athletics as well. I remember thinking at the time that she would probably go on to do something fitness or sport related in her adult life – maybe even compete in the Olympics...
