IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Radhika Ranjan.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Radhika.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
What is your favorite hairstyle?
I don’t actually have a favorite hairstyle these days. But in the past, I used to be a big fan of the undercut style which was compatible with my face shape. However, I don’t really care much these days, so I just let the barber do whatever he wants.
How often do you have your hair cut?
Once a month or once every two months I suppose. Because my hair goes grey very fast, I have to go to a barbershop to have it dyed as a way to look younger, and I usually have my hair cut as well.
How much do you usually spend on your haircut?
As I mentioned, I do multiple things at the same time, so the cost of my haircut is quite high. Every now and then, I often get a facial massage and shampoo also, so the cost can sometimes amount to a hundred VND in total.
What things make you tired?
There are many things that make me tired. For example, after consuming too much alcohol or caffeinated drinks, I will be exhausted for days after. Besides, my energy gets drained if I am continually stressed out and lacking sleep.
What do you do when you feel tired?
In order to combat fatigue, I choose to lie on my comfortable mattress and enjoy some music. While doing this, I also put on a face mask to keep my skin hydrated and my mind relaxed.
Who do you prefer to talk to when you feel mentally tired, your friends or your family?
→ That depends on what troubles I am facing. Like, if I’m feeling stressed about school or my friends’ drama, I will talk to my mother or father. However, when my parents are pressuring me about academic progress, my buddies will be the ones who understand me the most.
PART – 2 CUE CARD

SAMPLE ANSWER
I’d like to talk about the litter problem that we have where I live. When you walk around your village, go into the town, visit monuments or any places really, there is always litter lying on the ground. Even though there are many rubbish bins in places that you pass, people still leave litter on the streets or anywhere they want. This is a huge problem for the environment, as animals can hurt themselves and obviously it looks terrible.
The main reason that this is such an issue, is that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of tourists that come here every year, leaving litter. The bins provided in many areas are quite small, often overflowing so much that there is a huge pile of growing litter right next to the bin. They are not emptied often enough in busy areas, causing a problem.
This leads to stray animals inspecting the contents of the trash and makes the area look bad. The litter left behind in some areas, like next to ancient ruins or monuments is just carelessness from tourists. I have seen broken glass, bottles, papers and coffee cups all next to a very well known monument here on the island. I have collected litter to put into the bin, especially if it is broken glass and my dog is with me.
The people on the island are always complaining about the litter problem here, with demonstrations in town. The litter is not collected, sometimes for over a week and rubbish bins start to overflow. Sometimes the garbage collectors go on strike, leaving mountains of rubbish growing every day. This is a real issue, especially with so many tourists visiting the island each year.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do you think it is the responsibility of governments alone to protect the environment?
Of course not! I think it is everyone’s responsibility to protect the environment. Sure, the government has the power to enact laws and craft policies but how good is the law if nobody respects it. We simply could not go on with our lives throwing our wastes irresponsibly and expect the government to just clean it up. There is nothing left to clean up in the first place if only we dispose things properly, it wastes both time and resources.
Do you think large companies and business organizations should be more environmentally friendly? Why? How?
Development is good; sometimes it is a necessity to survive in today’s world. Businesses need profit, but they should not do so at the expense of the environment. Sustainable development is the key, the needs of the present has to be met without compromising the ability of future generations to sustain life in this planet.
