IELTS SPEAKING FULL INTERVIEW
PART 1 – INTRO PART
What is your full name?
My name is Mahendra Kumar.
Can I see your ID?
Certainly, here is my passport.
Where are you from?
I’m from Ahmadabad.
Do you work or study?
I am an industrial chemist.
Do you enjoy your work? Why?
Initially, I did enjoy but with time I am losing interest.
Why did you choose a career as an industrial chemist?
I was always amazed when I learnt how first human came in contact with chemistry by then, the mysterious sparks produced when man stuck two stones together. And then, man realized that how these sparks could be transferred to wood to create a wondrous flame. The earliest chemical reaction was Fire – a mystical force to the prehistoric man. This entire chain of incidents pulled me towards this field.
Will you continue with this in the future?
I’m not sure about it because I don’t enjoy this field anymore for some reason. I started with the tremendous zeal but in the midway I feel I’m losing the traction for this line of interest. Let’s see what the future unfolds for me.
What was your favorite activity when you were a child?
As a child, we had plenty of outdoor activities because internet and computers were not that popular then. Most of the time, we spent time going to parks or visiting the zoo or playing around with friends. My favorite activity was playing cricket with my friends.
What do you think children prefer: outdoor or indoor activities? Why?
I think they like both, don’t they? But it all depends on a child. These days most of the kids are glued to the computer or the phone screen playing games on the internet or video games. There are kids who have parents keeping a check on the internet usage so they do get time for outdoor activities.

SAMPLE ANSWER
This happened to me about a year ago. Actually, I have two computers. One is a desktop, and the other is a laptop. My desktop is very old, and a laptop is brand new.
It so happened that my cousin had to prepare an assignment, and he asked me for my laptop for a few hours. His computer was not working very smoothly. Initially, I hesitated to give him because I am very possessive about it. But then I thought of helping him. So I agreed to give him.
The next day when he came to pick up the computer, I tried to start it to show him some unique functions on my computer to make it easier for him to use. To my surprise, my laptop did not start. I was shocked and taken aback. I tried hard to restart it, but it was vain. My cousin was very upset, and first, he thought that I am doing it purposely.
I called the computer technician, and he said he will solve the problem, but it will take a week. I called my friend, who is a hardware engineer, and he said the same.
I was helpless because I could not do anything to repair it urgently. I was disappointed and confused as to what must have gone wrong with the machine. It was frustrating and irritating, and I also felt worried and anxious about losing important data and pictures.
I gave my laptop for repair and, I offered my cousin to use my desktop. He was thankful and happy. Later on, my computer got repaired, but it cost me a lot of time, money and energy. I learnt that such high gadgets are handy, but we should not rely on them entirely. Though I did not lose any of my data, I learnt a lesson to take back up in hard disks. After this episode, my computer broke down twice, but I took regular back up of data.
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
What do people use computers for?
Well, these days the use of computers is limitless, especially in the last year people around the world are using computers as mini offices. We can store our pictures, we can study online with the help of computers and we can even watch movies. So, it depends on people’s personal preferences.
Should students be allowed to use computers at school?
I am a strong supporter of the use of computers at school. The main reason why I think so is that they would help them to understand their lessons with illustrations and make learning more interesting. This will also make them fetch the data from anywhere in the world. They can share their knowledge with their teachers instantly by making use of a computer.
What do you think of people who are addicted to computers?
Most of the people think that computer addiction is very bad, but my views are not the same. I think if you want to do anything in life you need passion and you need a certain amount of addiction.
In the present scenario, we are working with the help of computers. We are locked down in our homes, so we entertain ourselves on computers, we communicate with the near and dear ones with the help of computers. But at the same time, we need to go out exercise and get up after every half an hour or one hour to give rest to eyes and to exercise or body.
