IELTS Speaking Test Part 2 Questions: Describe a difficult thing you did well IELTS Cue Card Describe a difficult thing you did well You should say: what it was how you did it why (or how) it was difficult and explain how you felt after you did it. www.ielts.org Follow-up questions Have other people (you know) had this success? Did people congratulate you for doing this? A lot of IELTS test takers have problems with this question because of the word ‘difficult’ – they seem to think they have never done anything difficult in life, so they’re not sure what to talk about. While you might think that a difficult thing is something like climbing a high mountain or something equally dangerous – not many people do things like that in their life. So consider difficult as something which requires effort, preparation or discipline, or something you are unsure about or feel uncomfortable about doing initially. When you approach the question like this – yo...

IELTS Cue Cards & Answers | Can you describe a neighbor you know well?

You should say: who he/she is how you met him/her how often you see each other and say if you like this neighbor, and why/why not. IELTS CUE CARD ANSWER The only neighbor I know really well is the old guy who lives in the next apartment. I guess he must be in his 70s but he’s really nice, and when I first moved into the building where I live he was very helpful, telling me all about the neighborhood and useful things about which days the garbage is collected, you know, little things that you don’t know about when you first move to a new place. Anyway, I met him on the second day, I think it was, and he was very chatty, which was nice because I didn’t know anyone there. We talked for about 20 minutes that day and I thought he was an interesting character. He lives alone now because apparently his wife died some years ago, but he has a dog and I usuall...

IELTS Speaking Topic Traveling IELTS Speaking Test Part 3 questions Do you think people like to travel far away from home? Why? Yes, some people do, but not everyone does. Some people don’t like travelling outside their own country, or even their city. A lot of young people like travelling to places far away because they see these places as being more exotic or exciting because everything is different there. What is different about travelling nowadays compared to in the past? I suppose now it’s easier than ever to arrange travel. You can book flights and hotels online and research about anywhere in the world before you even set off. It means that you know a lot more about a destination before you even arrive there. You have more flexibility and choice now when travelling and there are many more guides and reviews of places which you can read and so learn more about the things you’d like to see and do in whichever destination you choose to go to.

Why do you think there are so many advertisements now? Advertising

IELTS Speaking Test Part 1 Questions Why do you think there are so many advertisements now? Probably for a couple of reasons; first, there are now more advertising mediums than in the past. Before, adverts were common in newspapers, magazines, and other published material, and on TV and radio. But now with advances in technology, and since everyone has a mobile phone, probably the biggest growth area for ads has been online, through websites, apps and so on, and better technology now has made it easier now to product large scale advertisements such as billboards and huge banners too. For example, the buses and other large vehicles you see with adverts on them – in the past the ads would have to have been painted on them by hand, but now printing technology makes it much easier, quicker and cheaper to produce such things – so naturally there are more of them. In the future, there’ll probably be even more ads everywhere as brands and businesses get even more creative than they...
