If we had never tried new things , we would never have made any progress throughout history. Personally, I think it’s because doing something new is interesting. You get to see new places, meet new people and learn something , and if it’s something difficult maybe you have a sense of achievement at the end. Maybe we don’t always enjoy doing new things , but it’s always good to try something you haven’t done before . I think many people are curious - that’s why they do it. What problems can people have when they try new activities for the first time? Well, they may feel nervous, of course, or they may have problems doing the activity. Some things need a little skill and practice to do well. I remember the first time I went horseriding – I was hopeless, I couldn’t control the...

Arriving Early | IELTS speaking Cue Cards I recently attended a music festival in my hometown. It was held at a local park and the lineup featured some of my favorite bands. I wanted to be sure to get there early so that I could catch all the acts, so I arrived about an hour before the doors officially opened. I arrived early intentionally because I wanted to make sure I got a good spot for the show. It was a great feeling arriving early and being able to take it all in before the place filled up with people. I took a few pictures of the stage setup and enjoyed watching everyone else as they arrived. I'm usually not one to arrive early at events, but I'm so glad I did this time. It gave me an hour to relax and get into the right mood before everything kicked off. There's something ...

Here are some IELTS questions about mobile phones, technology and maps from Part 3 of an IELTS speaking test in the UK last week. IELTS questions about mobile phones, technology and maps What age group do you think is interested more in mobile phones? Why? Interested?

Do you think the technology will make international travel unnecessary? Why? Yes and no. It might someday make international business travel less necessary or common than it is at the moment, because there are so many business internet services and applications available these days. But I don’t think that techn...
