IELTS Speaking Practice | What kinds of things make you laugh? IELTS Speaking Practice This IELTS speaking practice example uses authentic questions from Cambridge IELTS 7 Speaking Test 2 Part 1. What kinds of things make you laugh? Funny things! I suppose there are many different kinds of things that make me laugh: something silly, something stupid, or jokes if they’re good, and sometimes just ridiculous things that you see happen in everyday life. The last time I had a good laugh was just yesterday when I watched a video of George Carlin, an American comedian, talking about saving the planet. He’s a really funny guy, but you never know when something funny will happen – sometimes when you least expect it. Do you like making other people laugh? (Why?/Why not?) I’ve never really thought about it. I used to make people laugh a lot with some of my comments, but I’m not sure if making people laugh is something that concerns me, so I don’t think I would say that I like to ...

Questions aboutadvertisements Do you think there are too many advertisements? (in society/on TV/in magazines and newspapers/on the street) Personally, I don’t think there are too many. I mean the advertising industry employs a lot of people, so that’s a good thing, right? And companies need to sell their products and services to survive, so advertising is kind of an essential part of business and the economy. I’m not sure if you can measure how much is too much – because there is no limit, is there? I guess if companies advertise, then they must be moving their products, and they wouldn’t advertise something if it wasn’t going to be successful for them, because that would just be bad business. So I suppose they must assess the level of advertising they do and are happy with it. Maybe some people might think there are too many ads everywhere, but then it’s not like anyone is forcing you to look at them or respond to them. Is there too much advertising on TV? Sometim...

Why do some adults dislike reading? I’ve always loved reading. As a kid, I would go to the library and check out as many books as I could carry. I would read all kinds of books, from fiction to non-fiction, and I was never without a book. These days, however, I find that I don’t read as much as I used to. In fact, I know a lot of adults who don’t read at all. So why is that? Why do some adults dislike reading? One reason why some adults may dislike reading is that they never developed a love for reading when they were younger. Maybe they didn’t have access to books when they were growing up, or maybe they just weren’t interested in reading. Whatever the reason, if you didn’t develop a love for reading when you were younger, it can be hard to start reading as an adult.  Another reason why some adults may dislike reading is that they find it difficult to find time to read. When you’re an adult, there are a million and one things vying for your attention—work, family, friends, hob...
