I’m actually from Brazil, but I’ve been here in the UK for a few months and I’m doing the IELTS test here in the UK before I return home. Do you work or study? I’ve recently graduated with a degree in Environmental Engineering. And at the moment I’m studying English. I’ve been taking an intensive English course here in London for almost 3 months. Why do you think people choose such a subject in your country? It’s not one of the most popular degrees, but it’s something I’m really passionate about so for me it was the perfect choice. Most of the students on my course were motivated by doing something to improve the world we live in, and environmental engineering is directly applicable and practical. It opens the doors to many professional opportunities to be involved in worldwide projects which are al...

Talk About A Skill IELTS Speaking Part 1 What is your full name? My name is ... Can I see your ID? Sure, here's my ID card Where are you from? I'm from Ho Chi Minh City Topic: Hometown What is your hometown famous for? I guess that most people would know it as the capital of South Vietnam in the past when we were two separate republics. Most people agree that it is the economic heart of the country and makes possibly the largest contribution, as a business center, to the overall economy of the country. And of course most people have heard of the famous musical "Miss Saigon" which was based on some of the historic events that took place here in the past. Do you still live in your hometown? Yes, I do, I still live with my family there. What do you like about living the...

It’s always been my joy to impart my knowledge to students and nurture their creativity, talent, and skills they have, and watch them do amazing things. Where do you live now?

It is a well-furnished two-bedroom house with a small backyard. How long have you lived there? I’ve lived there since I got a job at the school, so it’s been about two years now.

IELTS Speaking Children Can you tell me about your favorite childhood memory? Sample Answer One of my most cherished childhood memories is when my family and I went on a trip to the countryside. We spent an entire day exploring the picturesque landscapes, playing in the open fields, and having a picnic by the river. The serenity and beauty of nature left a strong impression on me, and it's a memory that I'll treasure for the rest of my life. Tip : For this question, provide a clear and concise description of a memorable childhood event. Try to use engaging language and evocative imagery to paint a vivid picture for your examiner.

Parents should be able to guide and support their children throughout their lives, cultivating a strong bond th...

Part 3 IELTS Speaking Generation Gap Do you think that today’s modern lifestyle has pushed parents and grandparents further away from the younger generation? In some ways, yes, but it’s also brought them closer together. For example, there are many things nowadays which for the younger generation are quite normal, whether on a personal level, at work or in life in general – things which our parents never did or our grandparents couldn’t ever have imagined. There’ll always be a generation gap – there always has been – it’s quite normal. But while some older people might not understand everything about the younger generation, for example, why young people spend so much time on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media – and always seem to be taking pictures and posting things on the internet – the same technology allows my parents to video chat with my brother who is in Canad a at the moment. In the past, my grandparents would have had to write a letter or te...

IELTS Speaking Test Answers Part 1 Do you like your job? Yes, I like my job. It’s interesting and the people I work with are really friendly and the workplace environment is also great. Do you want to continue in the same job in the future? Well, I think there’s still a lot I can learn while doing this job, and as I said, it’s interesting and the working environment is really good, so I can imagine maybe spending another couple of years working for the company before thinking about moving on and possibly looking for a new challenge with more responsibilities. Is doing things in a hurry a good or bad habit? Firstly, I think there’s a difference between doing things in a hurry, which is normally considered to be a bad thing and doing things with some urgency. In my experience when things get done in a hurry – that’s when mistakes are made or things are overlooked, so I guess I would say it’s a bad habit, as in it’s not something that you should do regularly. ...

IELTS Speaking Law Topics Part 3 Questions What laws do you think should exist to protect children? It’s a good idea that children are protected from any kind of abuse, be it physical, mental or emotional and that they can grow up in a safe and secure environment. So there need to be, and there are, laws to protect them from being hit, neglected or abused by others. Just like adults, children have their rights as human beings, and these should be protected just the same as those of adults. Do you think the law is applied equally to all people, no matter what social class they belong to? (give examples) In most cases I think it’s true – that the law is applied equally – but there are always cases you see reported in the news which show that it’s not always the case. Sometimes, it seems that wealthy people appear to manage to avoid being fined or imprisoned because their lawyers know how to get them off or at least avoid them going to prison. There has been a lot o...

IELTS Speaking Topics Talk about a difficult decision you had to make When I was growing up my parents were having problems in their relationship and for a couple of years things were not good at home; the atmosphere was terrible and they seemed to be constantly fighting with each other. My sister and I were very worried at the time that our parents would end up separating – which they did eventually. That was a really difficult time in life because so many things changed, but as often happens, there was a positive side to this also – our parents actually became happier people when they were not actually living together. They were like different people all of a s...
