IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART – 1 INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Gurmanjeet Kumar.
How may I address you?
You may address me as Gurmanjeet.
May I see your ID?
Sure, here it is.
Do you like watching TV?
I don’t get time really to watch TV and I don’t like the fact that you have no choice about what to watch, so no I would say I don’t really like watching normal TV, I much prefer streaming something on my iPad and watching it when I like.
How often do you watch TV?
I’d say maybe only a few times a month when there is a good football match on. I prefer watching football on TV with other people around because it’s a great atmosphere, but if it’s a normal TV show I will just watch it alone at home on my tablet.
What kind of TV programmes do you like to watch?
I like dramas and thrillers. I don’t really like anything that is not set in the real world, so I’m not a big fan of sci-fi or fantasy, although I have been getting in to the latest season of Game of Thrones. I also really like to watch documentaries about military history, especially anything to do with the Second World War.
What are the most popular TV shows in your country?
The two most popular genres are soaps and reality TV. Soaps like Coronation Street have always been popular because people get to know the characters really well and the story lines can be quite gripping. I’ve no idea why reality TV is popular; I can’t stand it, all those C-list celebrities trying to become popular again. I would rather watch paint dry, to be honest.
Do you like watching TV shows from other countries?
Yes, most of the programmes I watch are from the United States. Networks like HBO and Netflix have the biggest budgets and as a result can make some really high quality shows. I don’t think Game of Thrones could be made without a huge budget and America is probably the only country that can make a TV show on that scale
PART – 2 CUE CARD
Describe a time you made a promise to someone.
You should say
– Whom did you make the promise to?
– What the promise was?
– Why you made the promise?
– Was the promise easy to achieve?
SAMPLE ANSWER
Well, we often make promises to different people with the intention to keep the promises. However, sometimes due to uncertain circumstances, we fail to keep our words.
I would like to share one such experience where I promised my friend to help, but I couldn’t.
It happened the last month when my needs my friend who was taking part in a science competition called me. He said that he needs my help in making a project as he has to make a working model on a science topic.
Since I had taken part in many competitions like these, and I straightaway said not to worry, I will help you. In fact, I said to him that I will come a day prior to your submission will stay overnight at your place, and during this time, we will complete this project. My friend had a firm belief in me, and that’s why he was happy to hear, and now we were supposed to meet teach other on the promised day.
Unfortunately, that day my grandmother fall seriously sick, and I had to take her to the hospital where she got admitted. Instead of helping my friend in making the project had to be there with my grandmother to take care of her all night long. Inevitably, my friend couldn’t complete his assignment without my help, and he failed.
However, I apologized to my friend for not being able to help him due to a medical emergency. But, I feel bad that my friend failed just because I couldn’t keep my words.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Generally speaking, do Indian parents make promises to children?
Yes, I think, not only Indian but all parents make promises to children also. They do so because they want their children to improve their personality and concentrate on their studies.
Do children also make promises to their parents?
Yes, if parents make promises to their children, they also take a promise from their children, and they also tell their children they will fulfill their promise only when they do break their promise and complete it with full honesty.
Do most people fulfil their promises?
Yes, most people complete their promise. They do it because they want to establish good examples in front of their children. On the other hand, due to some reasons, sometimes parents do not fulfill their promise, but they explain the reason for their children and make sure that their children would understand their problem.
How do you feel when others break their promises?
It is a very heart-breaking situation when someone breaks their promise. Sometimes people are stuck in a problematic situation, so they do not keep their promise, but some people only make promises, but they never want to fulfill their promise.
