IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Amarjit Kaur.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Amarjit.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here you go.
Do you like (to learn about) history?
Yes, I am a big fan of reading historical stories. When I was a little boy, I always took the historical books from my father’s bookshelf and read about historical events. I feel that history not only helps me teach, but also gives me a better understanding of human society.
What historical event do you find most interesting?
Personally I am fond of the Battle of Red Cliffs which happened during the early period of the Three Kingdoms. This was a decisive battle at the end of the Han Dynasty. It was also a typical battle in Chinese history renowned for a smaller and weaker army defeating a larger and stronger foe.
Do you think history is important?
Yes, the main factor is that like our native language and our history forms our cultural identity and provides a unique record of our country. We can learn from the experiences of history to correct our current actions.
Do you like to watch programmes on TV about history?
Yes, I enjoy watching documentaries about history on TV because I can see a lot of materials that cannot be seen in the textbooks. I watch them at home during my time off with my son to learn something about history.
Do you think you can really learn history from films and TV programmes?
I don’t feel that watching current TV series can make you more aware of the history. TV programmes are more engaging than books; however, true historical events in most of the TV series have been distorted by the producers to cater for the audience. It’s really a shame, as young people will misunderstand history as presented by these companies.

SAMPLE ANSWER
I have been to two schools in my life. My primary school was different from my secondary school. I have vague remembrances of my primary school as I was too small then.
Here I would like to talk about my secondary school in which I studied from 6th to 12th class. My school’s name was SD Model Senior Secondary School. I vividly remember I was very nervous on the first day. This school was much bigger than my primary school. I was afraid of getting lost there.
I was a little bit excited also. I just walked inside with the other students and went where they were going. I was a new face for them, so many of them were staring at me. I asked one student about where 6th class was.
Coincidently she was also in 6th class. She took me to her class. That was the beginning of my new friendship. Her name was Harleen, and till today we are the best of friends. She made me feel very comfortable. All my nervousness vanished. We attended the classes before the lunch break, and during recess, she showed me the whole school.
I was awed by the infrastructure of the school. There were separate labs for physics, chemistry, and computer science. There was also a huge library. Badminton and volleyball courts were also there. The canteen was the most impressive. All the teachers were also very nice. I studied for seven years in that school. Those were the most memorable years of my life.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think students should be taken to school by their parents or go by themselves?
Children in primary classes should not go to school by themselves. Either the parents should drop them, or they should arrange a van or bus. Children in high school and secondary school can go on their own.
Should children rely on their parents or be independent?
Children should rely on their parents till they are studying. Once they complete their studies, they should start earning and become independent.
How can children become more independent?
Children can become more independent if parents let them take small decisions on their own when they are very young. If parents allow children some freedom, then children can become independent very soon. It also depends on education and job. If children start earning, they can become independent very soon.
