IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Nanko Sharma.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Nanko.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here you go.
Do you text someone if he doesn’t answer your phone?
Yes, when my friends can’t answer my call, I will text them to let them know I called and wait for their reply.
Is there any chance when texting someone is better than calling him?
I believe when the person I’m calling is in a conference or in a cinema, it’s better to text him instead of making a telephone call.
Have you ever had difficulty replying?
Yes, I remember when I had to refuse some friends requests I had to think carefully for a long time about how to reply.
How often do you send text messages?
I send text messages almost on a daily basis. I always text my friends and family to say hello, chat and make travelling plans.
What are the benefits of sport (or exercise)?
Exercise keeps you healthy. It’s been proven that people who exercise more get sick less. When you exercise, it helps build your strength to fight sickness. I have a friend who have a bad back, and if he doesn’t run, play basketball, or exercise in some way then his back will go out and he’ll have to stay in bed until it is better.
What kinds of sports facilities exist in your community?
I live near a university and my friends and I often go there to exercise. It has football fields, tracks, badminton, volleyball. and tennis courts, and other kinds of exercise equipment. There is also a weight room and taekwondo lessons. So I think that my community has quite a good assortment of sports facilities available.
Do men and women play the same kind of sports?
It really depends on the person, because I know some girls who are a lot more athletic than most guys are. But for the most part, girls generally don’ t play most of the rougher, aggressive sports. An American friend of mine told my that many of the men there like to play American football and even though some girls will join the game, most of them will just sit on the side und watch or do something else.
How do you think the government could encourage more people to exercise and participate in sport?
Advertisements are some of the biggest ways people are influenced either for or against something. If the government would air some very catchy, appealing ads on TV or maybe even hold a public competition where the winners get an monetary prize that would work, for me it least. I can’t really think of anything else that would work, but that would be their best shot because that’s what most people will respond to.
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe an important letter that you received.
You should say:
– Who wrote it
– When you received it
– What the letter was about
– and explain why it was important.
SAMPLE ANSWER
A very important letter that I received actually came from my doctor believe it or not. I know that sounds a little strange coming from a young person like me.
You see at the time I was in school and was working very hard and neglecting to take care of myself. I was so worried and stressed over my studies that, well, number one I wasn’t eating very well. Then on top of that, I was spending so much time in the library that I wasn’t going outside and getting any exercise.
I noticed that I was starting to get sick easily and kinda run-down. It was really getting bad, even my friends noticed my lack of strength and energy and one of them was so concerned about me that he wrote and mentioned this to my parents, and my mom asked one of her friends who is a doctor to give me some advice.
Well this doctor who I didn’t even know wrote me a long letter and told me that out that I really needed to have more balance in my life and make sure that I was getting all of the things that I already said I was missing.
So out to the badminton court I went whether I felt like it or not, eating a good healthy breakfast in the morning, slowing down and taking some time with my friends and then before I knew it I felt so much better. If this doctor hadn’t taken the time to write me, I just don’t know what would have happened to me. I think my life would be different and I might not even be sitting here talking with you.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Is it still useful for companies to communicate with letters?
Yes, it is still useful for companies to communicate with letters. There are many people who are not very techno savvy and don’t know how to use emails or technology. So, it is the best way for companies to communicate with such people through letters.
Do people in your country write letters?
There are many remote areas in my country, which still aren’t connected well with other parts of the country through technology. In such areas, people still write letters. Also, not all people are comfortable using the technology. For example, many old people prefer letters to emails.
What skills does letter writing require?
Letter writing requires a good knowledge of language that is grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. It is also important to know the differences in formal and informal letter writing.
