IELTS Speaking Test Part 3 - Part 2 - Part 1 What is the difference between comedy on TV and comedy in books? I’m not really sure; I can’t remember ever reading a comedy book, or a book that was funny. I usually read non-fiction or novels, and they’re generally not funny, but I suppose comedy on TV can be more spontaneous – I mean it’s difficult to transmit comedy in a book, isn’t it? It’s a bit like the story about my niece that I told you – telling it now it doesn’t seem as funny as watching it actually happen in front of you – I guess TV and books are the same – TV comedy is more instant and easier to get across to people. Are there comedy shows (either live or on TV) in your country? Yes, both. There are the usual sit-coms on TV, quiz shows that are designed to be funny, as well as stand up comedians, and then there are live comedy shows, either plays or comedians who do solo performances. Can someone use humor to learn another language? I suppose so, if you wat...

IELTS exam preparation : Below is a sample of IELTS speaking topics for Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of the IELTS Speaking Test. IELTS Speaking Test Part 1 Questions What subject(s) are you studying? I’m studying for a degree in International Marketing at the moment. Why did you choose to study that subject? I thought it was in interesting career and as business now operates in a global marketplace there will be many opportunities to work not only in my own country but maybe abroad in the future too. Was that an easy choice to make? For me, yes because I was interested in the subject. Ever since I did a project at school about product marketing I wanted to learn more about it, so it was an easy decision to make when I thought about going to university. Do you like your subject? (Why?/Why not?) Yes, I love it. It’s very interesting and for me it’s fascinating how much marketing affects our lives every day. It’s interesting to see how companies try and influence consumers to bu...

IELTS Speaking Part 2 | A person (or something) that made you laugh IELTS Speaking Test Part 2 Describe a person/something that made you laugh a lot You should say: when and where it was describe the situation who was there with you and explain why you thought it was so funny. Answer | A Person/Something that Made You Laugh a lot Alright, so something funny happened just the other day when I was visiting my brother. He and his wife have a little girl, my niece, who’s five years old and she’s really smart and inquisitive. Anyway, it was the weekend and we had been having lunch together and after lunch my niece was sitting watching a movie in her tablet, and after a while we noticed that her dog was sitting in front of her and seemed to be watching her. Her dog is really cute, it’s a grey and white husky and they love playing together. So it appeared that the dog was watching her watch the movie and when she would move her head to one side or peer at the screen...

This IELTS speaking test includes questions about: why you chose your work, celebrities, colors, something that made you laugh a lot, comedy, humor, and jokes. IELTS Speaking Test Part 1 Questions about celebrities IELTS Speaking Part 1 Do you like celebrities? Why? Why not? I would have to say I’m indifferent to them. I don’t particularly like them, but I’ve got nothing against them. They’re just people who happen to do things that are seen or shared with millions of people around the world. Would you like to be a celebrity? Why? Why not? I’ve never really wanted to be famous or anything like that. I guess it might have some benefits, like the money, but it’s also got some drawbacks too – like all the paparazzi. There are also lots of haters, and it can be difficult for them to have a real private live sometimes because they get followed everywhere they go. And it’s not just them – it’s their family as well that tend to get a lot of attention. If I wanted to ...
