Some have an abundance of jobs like these, while others may be struggling with a lack of them.

Part 3 Discussion Questions - Cameras in Mobile Phones - Selfies - Professional Photographers - The Media How would you answer these IELTS speaking questions about cameras, professional photographers and the media ? IELTS Speaking Part 3 Discussion Questions Is it really necessary to have a camera in your mobile phone? Why? Yes, I think it is nowadays. There are so many apps and platforms where you can video chat with your friends and it's also really useful. For example, if you have an accident in your car you can take photos of the scene to show what happened. Because so many people are using their smartphones to access the internet, having a camera as part of your phone makes sense. Is it a better idea to have a camera separately? Why? No, I don't think so, unless you are a serious photographer. It's just something else to carry around with you, and you can lose it or leave it somewhere if you're not careful. I think it's much more co...

IELTS Speaking Test Part 1 Questions &338; Answers Do you like to take photographs? Yes, I love taking pictures and sharing them with my friends. I probably take four or five a day on average and sometimes a lot more depending on where I am and what I’m doing. If I go out with friends for the day or go some place special then I usually take a lot more than on just a normal day, for example. Would you like to study photography? Not particularly. I’m not really interested in the technicalities or the art side of photography – I just like capturing moments rather than composing shots and things like that. It’s nice to see some impressive photographs taken by professionals – but it’s not something I would like to study or try and do professionally. How often do you take photographs? It depends, if something funny or interesting happens then I’ll snap it on my phone and share it on Facebook or Instagram, but if I’m not doing anything interesting then I don’t really think about...
