IELTS Speaking Part 2 | A couple who have a happy marriage Describe a married couple you know well who inspire you You should say: who they are how you know them why they inspire you And say what you think their secret to a happy marriage is. IELTS Speaking | Candidate Task Card Sample Answer | Describe a couple with a happy marriage My best friend got married a few years ago, well, actually it’s more like about five years ago now. I’ve known him for almost fifteen years and I’ve known his wife for around seven years now. They are a typical couple in many aspects. I think they share some interests, but they also have some big differences of opinion now and again. I’ve seen them very much in love, and I’ve witnessed them arguing like cat and dog, but at the end of the day, they are happy together. I believe that one of the most important things they have, as a couple, is they always respect each other, even when they’re disagreeing or fighting ...

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.

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...

Part 3 Discussion Questions How can we make elderly people happy? I’m not sure if you can make other people happy, it’s more important to make sure that they are cared for and that they have everything they need. Elderly people are the only ones who know what they need to be happy. For example, I was telling my grandmother the other day about a funny video I saw on YouTube, but she wasn’t really interested – do you know what made her happy? It was when I made her a cup of tea and we sat and chatted about her family for about an hour. You know it’s easy to think that the things which we think are important or interesting are the same for everybody – but the truth is that everyone is different. My grandmother likes nothing better than to talk with her friends and family, she doesn’t bother with much else, so in her case making her happy means her family visits often and spends time with her. Of course, maybe for other elderly people, it’s different, so it’s really...

Speaking Topics Studying Happiness Important skills for children Skills for the future IELTS Speaking Test Part 1 Do you work or study? Actually, I graduated last month, but I haven’t started working yet. I studied International Business with a specialization in Marketing. Why did you choose that subject? I thought it was a good choice because business is global nowadays and doesn’t really depend on which country you are in, apart from the language. So there are many opportunities to work with interesting global companies and build a good career in the future. I chose marketing specifically because it’s something I became interested in during the first semester at university. I’d really like to get a position in the marketing department of a well-known brand to develop my professional career. Do you prefer to study individually or in a group? It depends, sometimes I like to study alone. At other times it can be more interesting and useful to study...
