Full IELTS speaking test with sample answers IELTS SPEAKING EXAM PART 1 Work: Are you working or studying? At the moment, I’m working but I want to go and study in Australia next year. Can you describe your job? Yes, I’m a Software Engineer and currently, I’m working for an international company that develops a suite of financial solutions for investment banks. Do you prefer working in the morning, afternoon, or evening? Why? Generally, I think I probably work better in the morning when I feel fresh. Although sometimes I do a lot of work at home at night, sometimes quite late at night, I find it easier to focus, so those are the two times of the day when I feel most productive or creative normally.

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...
